I am trying to work out what car seat we can put our 2yo in for our upcoming MEL-LAX trip with United. United says car seats must be FAA approved. We have a Mother’s Choice currently, but their customer service told me they’re not approved for aeroplanes. They recommended Britax, but the...

Wow! Thanks so much for sharing this @kangarooflyer88. Super helpful! Although it does create new decisions to ponder. We will have a 7 week old and a 2 year old (just under 2 years for the outbound flight, just over for the return flight), and need to think about whether business/premium is...

Thanks for the thoughts, all! Given there is no tricks available here, I think we'll just book a cash fare given flights are relatively cheap atm. I'd rather not extend the trip by doing separate travel to Sydney, and booking now gives us greater likelihood of snagging a bassinet for our 6 week...

Re: Mastercard or Visa with reasonable or no international fees and Qantas point earn I have found the Prosple website to be really helpful in weighing up the pros and cons when considering new credit cards It ranks cards by 'best value for you' based on your specified monthly spend, the...

Re: Consulting to Swiss company Thanks for the responses simongr, I was also leaning toward your view, that it's all in how it's framed. I wrote to the Swiss consulate this morning to try and get something official in writing. I explained our circumstances factually, but very much framed...

Hi all Our Sydney-based firm has been engaged to do some consulting work to a client based in Zurich. This will ideally involve a few of us working from their offices in Zurich for a few weeks at a time over the next few months. Does anyone have experience doing a job like this in Switzerland...
