I really appreciated the trip report by @bPeteb (1) Resilient is my middle name - Christmas with Virgin Voyages | Australian Frequent Flyer. We were due to travel on the same ship so it was educational and very entertaining. We are usually independent travellers and have never seriously...

We hadn't visited Cairns since 2006 and Mrs RB had some flight credits and lounge passes at her disposal. The last few years we have had a couple of road trips out of Townsville and we have thoroughly enjoyed those times. We had a few concerns that we may be leaving it a bit late in the year to...

We have an internal flight booked for our trip to Europe next year. It was interesting that Mrs RB got an email asking her to support action by way of a petition "So far in 2023, there has been 64 days of ATC strikes (12 times more than all of 2022) inhibiting millions of EU citizens' Freedom of...

Probably not the best time of year but we will be in Cairns in early Nov 2023. We are hiring a car for 12 nights and intend to travel north. Hoping that some locals or other posters that have done similar can provide a few tips. It is a lot of years since we were this far north but have done a...

When we visited Sri Lanka in Feb 2012 we consulted the area experts on Trip Advisor to get recommendations for a guide and driver. There was strong support for Lucky Bolonghe and we made our booking. The 2012 trip Sri Lanka-The Pearl Of the Indian Ocean | Australian Frequent Flyer was a...

A rough guide to our planned visit Our trip to India with Magan Singh of Heritage India Private Tours was all that was promised and so much more. We are now safely back in Australia after our latest adventure. India has been a place of fascination for us and we have previously visited in 2007...

Seems this flight is coming to an end. The service to Canberra has been in place since late 2020. It seems to be some discussion of reasons for suspending the service- either difficuity with staffing or lack of profit

We are locked in for another trip to India in Feb 2023. Hoping to pick up a few tips of recent experiences members may have had with accessing money and how you went about using data. We will be hiring a car & driver. We have access to Citi/28 degrees/Ubank. Is cash still king? Many of the...

We have been back in Australia since last Friday so it is time to make a start on another trip report. Since the onset of covid we have managed a few interstate trips but have been really looking forward to the opportunity to get back to some overseas travel. Our 2020 planning went out the door...

Changes again on the very near horizon- ie this Sunday. Just heard on the local news that the Taree-Sydney route is to be suspended from Sunday. Change to Taree Airport services | Mirage News

We really enjoyed our 2021 road trip out of Townsville ( No Cassowary Sightings for Us | Australian Frequent Flyer) so we planned another similar style trip for June 2022. Again we had a mix of travel in our own car, flights and hire car. Overall 3weeks away from home with the advantage of...

Stumbled upon this promotion in my readings today. Fares go on sale tomorrow. Edited to add further link 9-Euro-Ticket Germany's €9 travel pass is coming this summer | CNN Travel

I have friends who are travelling from NSW in early March. One couple is in a motorhome and the other couple have a caravan. From what I understand they are looking for a spot to leave the vehicles while they go on a river cruise/ Kangaroo Island combo trip. It seems they need to find a storage...

I thought there might be a bit of interest in a news story posted by the local ABC. Always good to read some history Aviation tales from Old Bar Airfield portray a tiny airstrip with a big history still in use today - ABC News

Wondering if any other members are facing the same situation. For Sept 2022 we had a points booking for SQ 355 MXP-SIN then a 2hr 35min stop then SQ211 SIN-SYD all on one booking reference for 2 passengers in J. We were contacted by SQ to advise that there had been a schedule change. They...

I received some great tips here earlier this year re a driving loop north from Townsville. (No Cassowary Sightings for Us | Australian Frequent Flyer ). In June 2022 we are planning on doing something similar but basically heading to the south of Townsville probably around 10 days. Just a bit...

We have managed to score flights to Frankfurt for late Aug 2022 with a return from Milan about 5 weeks later. We have spent a fair bit of time in Southern Germany & Italy previously but this time we may venture north first. We are keen walkers but fine dining and museums are not high priorities...
