If you are like me - you probably get BP offers in your inbox which you activate and don't give a second thought to... If you happen to roll up to a BP and trigger the offer then great but if you don't then you don't. Well I've recently moved to within walking distance of a BP and I quite like...

I was recently flying SYD-BNE-MKY-ROK in QF reward business class with an overnight in MKY. The connection in BNE was 55 minutes (which is more than the MCT (which I think is 25 minutes) but still a little tight). The BNE-MKY flight was the last of the day - I really needed to be in ROK the next...

Hi there, I was hoping that you might be able to tell me whether I should keep pushing or give up. The story is this: I booked 3 x classic business reward seats SYD-BNE-CNS for Easter through the Qantas website many months ago (this was the only option for getting 3 reward seats on the same...

Hi there, I've booked a (refundable) family holiday to Hamilton Island for my wife's 40th birthday in June ... and I'm now worried that we may be locked out so would like to try and explore a backup option (or two). If we are going to go on holidays with a 3 year old there needs to be a beach...

Has anyone used the 'correct info' (or similar) feature (which is really a statutory right) on their credit reports to try and force the credit reporting agencies to mark accounts closed sooner? I'm finding that it's currently taking months for closed accounts to be marked as closed - which is...

Riddle me this. If you go to eBay.com.au and plug in 'postage stamp' there are dozens and dozens of sellers selling postage stamps at ~4% below face value with free postage. Assuming that they aren't stolen, how do they make any money on this? After backing out the eBay paypal fees how on...

Hello, I'm after suggestions for somewhere to go for a week in November - we have a 2yr old who is super happy building sandcastles and slashing in the shallows all day. For those of you familiar with the lagoon on the esplanade in Cairns - he will happily spend 6 hours a day mucking about on...

I'm looking for suggestions on how to manage my small business expenses (things like petrol and officeworks receipts). My business doesn't have any size or sophistication to it - heck my accounting software is a DIY excel spreadsheet (although the forthcoming ATO requirements will probably mean...

My long suffering better half and I are relocating to London. We have booked Y SYD-SIN-DXB-LHR on QF codes and only EK metal for the SIN-DXB leg. Ms TripleB is Gold and I am WP. According to my reading of this: Checked Baggage Allowance | Qantas She is entitled to 46kgs and I am entitled to...

Hi there, I'm travelling with Mrs Triple B out of Singapore in a couple of weeks. I'm on MH leaving from T2 at 19:15 (to KUL and onto DRW) and she is on QF (to SYD) leaving T1 at 20:20. I 'm wondering if someone more familiar with T1 and T2 at Singapore (I've flown through Singapore quite a...

This is the new thread for the next Darwin dinner. Everyone is being very polite about location and dates (dare I say that there is an almost English gent level of politeness about being happy to go wherever and whenever). It seems that everyone is free(ish) on the 27/28/29/30 of April - so...

Hi there, [I was not sure whether this was for the fare help forum or here - I'm not trying to be a cheapskate and avoid the $29 gratuity by posting here - I made the (perhaps erroneous) call that I was just after some general info rather than specific help with specific dates) that this was...

So this is being posted in playground for 2 reasons: 1) I didn't quite know where else to post it; and 2) I wanted those who would shoot me for making such an outrageous suggestion to think that the headline were a joke :-) I had to make a last minute booking to fly to Brisbane on the...

I'm hoping for a bit of advice for my very first world problem. I suspect that this will be a sympathetic audience ... The facts I'm flying with my mum (QF Silver) MEL-DXB-BHX in whY. We're on QF9 on 16/2. Currently allocated 33J&K. QF9 looks very lightly sold at this stage. F8...

Dear Jetstar, I fly with you around 40 times a year. I think that your seats are more comfortable than VA and I'm ok with bringing my own entertainment for the SYD-DRW flights and having something to eat at home or the airport before the flight. I'm also ok with the $32 you charge for the QF...

Hi there, I am going to be a good son and takemy mum (regrettably she was bumped down to QF silver this month after being20SC short of renewing gold) to the UK to visit her mum in the UK for a week in early February.I was going to book economy on QF flight numbers (probably QF metal to/from...

Jetstar has started pushing the $5 gift cards again. Last Sunday I'd eaten before I got on the SYD-DRW flight and so I asked to use my $5 voucher (embedded in the extra fee to get FF points plus fare?) to buy the $5 scratch card. I logged on to see what the $5 buys you - all overpriced and...

I'm on the redeye DRW-SYD dep 0045 arr 0645 and will then go meetings in SYD during the day before then taking SYD-ADL departing at 2010. The flights were booked as different one way bookings through the QF website. I know it sounds silly, but I'm taking a very large (but empty) checkin bag...

I'd really like to tap into the collective wisdom of the AFFcommunity to see if I can improve my packing (and maybe bag choice). Firstly some background - I'm a WP - 99% of my flights are in Y. The majority of myflights are DRW-SYD-DRW (mixture of QF and JQ) but I generally have 2 or...
