Thank you - that is what I was planning on doing - go myself!!!! The overseas call centre is an absolute farce and the fact that you have to call every 24 hours and start all over again, is ridiculous. Surely a reason why they are too busy to answer the phone...........

Venting my frustration and looking for any ideas. I recently caught 2 Virgin Flights - NTL-BNE-CNS. The BNE_CNS was 90 mins late, so we were bundled off the flight and straight on to the next flight within minutes (thank you) However, when I arrived in CNS, I noticed my purse was no longer in...

Hi ALl, Is anyone having similar problems? Just before Christmas, there was a promotion - to maintain Gold Status, if you liked your FlyBuys and transferred points, you would get 4 X status credits (as well as a points advantage) My anniversary date was 23rd - I made the link on 2oth and I...

Hi All, I am struggling to find the schedule for direct flights NTL to CNS. I can not locate this on either Qantas or Virgin sites any more. Can someone please help me out?

You don't say how old the child is - I have had a few experiences and when things go well, it is OK. But when things go wrong, the flaws in the system pop up. My 2 nieces fly regularly to me BNE-SYD every School holidays and I was never so happy as when one of them became old enough to be the...

She was not on the ball enough to take note - but what are the odds?? She used to do this run many times - I lived in SF and she was at Uni in Sydney so she was pretty familiar with the run and thought it was the same plane.

My experience is similar - not with being bumped, but with poor compensation - my daughter, who was a Platinum Flyer at the time, but a young 20 something year old, was flying in her 'usual' seat in Business SYD-LAX when she realised her Entertainment system was down. She was offered a move to...

Thanks for this but this is the 'general' link to the Book itself - if the charity is to have the benefit, the Book has to be ordered through that charity's order page - sorry it has become a bit complex now that another link has been added. The charity link is genuine and it is this one...

The Entertainment Book savings are great - 5% off Wish EGift cards, DJs, 5% off Virgin flights, plus hundreds of restaurants and other activities like Opera and Theatres - there is one for every region of Oz/NZ and Bali. I have managed to save over $2000 this year and I have a couple of Books...

The Entertainment Book savings are great and include discounts on some gify cards. More here:

HI All, Today I received an email 'congratulations you have been chosen to represent 55 -60 year olds from Qantas FF. If I participate in Surveys allegedly about their Service, I receive FF points each time - has any one else received this? Feels like an exercise in getting my data, but the...

I have been to all of the above as I lived in US for a prolonged period. Blue Man Group is an experience not to be missed, but if you have a choice, the NYC production is a better experience than in Vegas, based on the fact that the theatre is smaller and some of their 'audience participation'...

Thank you so very much - the consensus seems to be positive from everyone I have spoken to. And more for the food discounts and benefits than the free hotel room! Deborah

HI there, Don't want to disturb your train of thought, but have you thought about going to LAX via Fiji? The flights are cheaper by far, codeshare with Qantas and business class is almost always empty at the moment so an upgrade is almost always a possibility.

Hi there, I am sure this has been asked and answered before, but could not find it. Is the Accor Advantage Plus annual membership worth it? or can you really just get enough from the Loyalty card.

Dear Friends, It is not the same as being there in person, but why not try My Personal Concierge, to give your wife some practical support when you are not there. ... - any kind of help to ease the burden of our busy traveling lives.

I have a teacher friend who started Umhambi orphanage - (http://www.umhambi.org/) google it as I have not posted enough to add links!! It is in Zimbabwe (Vic Falls area) when he traveled there and saw the extraordinary circumstances. The kids there are mostly AIDS orphans and are being taken...

I fly this route regularly and had the same question - so I tried Virgin out at a time when there was a ridiculously significant price difference to Qantas. The flight is an hour longer with Virgin (it is a Virgin 777 vs others) - 14 h 40 vs 13 hr 30 door to door. Seats on Virgin were old...

My daughter is in South America for 6 months - various countries. What is the best recommendation for staying in touch. We have Skype and Viber. ?Any calling card recommendations or ? a local SiM? Your best advice gratefully received.

Thanks everyone for the feedback (positive and negative) I have my answer. As one questioned, I have recently moved to US for work, and this brings up another issue - it is harder and harder to maintain QFF status from here - still fly a ton, but not with Qantas flight numbers, sadly. I...
