    New US & UK Laptop/Tablet ban on up to 8 countries

    So if everything (pretty much) needs to go in the hold/baggage area, does that mean the security for all baggage items gets increased???

    AA Share miles back

    Doggy and netgrom, I surely didn't read this the same as you did. The drop down shows if you go for the maximum 50,000 miles + 5,000 bonus you're getting 55,000 miles for $437.50. That looks like $.008/pt to me. Am I missing something on the Share/Purchase...

    Tasmanian restaurants

    Back to Hobart...a few more votes for Smolt, Zum, and Mee Wah. Smolt is great any time of day - a little quieter in the rear section. By the way, Garagiste is gone now. Cornelian Bay Boat House has always been great - located, on Cornelian Bay - just upriver from the Tasman Bridge. Nice...
