I took up the DCS offer in Feb this year. Booked a couple of flights on 19 Feb (the offer came out 18 feb) Flew in June and then again in August. When the June flights had been done, the DCS’s didn’t arrive. I rang Qantas, got the Phillipines call centre and was told I hadn’t registered, when I...

I normally don't take any tablets, but at Mrs Cutz suggestion took some Restavit (I think it that's what it was) on a quick trip to USA recently and slept really well both on the plane and in the USA. Took two tablets on the Frankfurt - Singapore leg which was in synch with sleep time at home...

We stayed in a ground floor apartment a few years back that was fantastic. Other members of our family have had same good experience with this place. Very roomy, refurbed bathroom and great location. See the following link: https://www.homeaway.co.uk/p1106843

Mrs Cutz and I were entertained by DYKWIA's recently at O'Hare airport when the flight to Toronto was an hour late. They announced it early and it was because of runway work being done in Toronto and the plane was late leaving there, hence going to be late departing. We watched several American...

I agree, trains are best. We have had some wonderful train trips from Milan up into Switzerland and done the Zurich - Salzburg / Vienna trip twice. The Austrian Alps train trip is spectacular.Also then on to Prague once and Budapest the other. Man in seat 61 was hugely helpful. Point to point...

My condolences too Ansett on your loss. On a slightly different note, i had my mother in law have to cancel a South African Safari trip due to a severe back problem. She had some history of minor ailments, but a couple of months out from the trip whilst gardening had a really painful back...

Agree it is a bit sneaky to just wipe the points, but the other way to look at it is that by having a % of points break, it allows the airlines (or supermarkets) to give those of us who are active and make the most of the points / gift cards a higher level of benefit than would otherwise be...

We have done two Europe trips using AIRBnB and VRBO. All up about 9 places in different cities / countries and they all worked out a treat. Personally I like VRBO better where possible as you deal more directly with the owners and in many cases they don't even require a deposit, or if they do it...

Thanks for the feedback. I liked your suggestion Grov, but maybe that is for another trip with just Mrs C and I. As we have the 2 elderly grannies with us, your side trip suggestion may be a little optimistic for us this trip. Looking further at it, point to point with the rail operators would...

Thanks for the advice, I appreciate it. We are going Milan Airport - Milan - Varenna (Lake Como) - Milan - Spiez - Interlaken - Zurich - Salzburg - Budapest for 4 people. After doing research (The man in Seat 61 was very helpful) we ended up booking through the travel agent. Worked out at about...

I am seeking advice on purchasing Eurail Travel passes. on a previous trip we just booked single tickets for the travel we did, but we are about to head off to Italy, Switzerland, Austria and Hungary travelling between these countries by train. It seems there is about $200 per person to be saved...

I am mostly QF, but flew VA recently from new terminal in Perth. I don't know if we were just unlucky, but their self check in system would have to be the slowest computer system in the universe. it timed out a couple of times while grinding towards our eventual check in. Considering it is less...
