    Cash or Card? Countries where you still need cash.

    In Thailand now - card accepted in some places and some cash only. Also some of the places accepting card put a surcharge on - mostly about 3%. Can confirm about the 7-11 I have shopped in having a minimum of 200Baht for card. June last year there was no such a minimum limit.

    What's your Uber experience?

    Didi is always cheaper up here (Nth Qld) but they don't show up and for some reason are not allowed at the airport either. Also have had Uber drivers give me a card for Didi and tell me they pay better - shame they don't arrive and I end up cancelling and going back to Uber

    Consensus on points compo for failed IFE

    My story - SFO-AKL with Air New Zealand 2013 - plane was full the day after they lost the America's Cup and a 747 as well. Well not only did my IFE not work after the meal my overhead light would not turn off. So had my eyeballs burnt for the rest of the flight - being a combination of a nervous...

    LAX/SFO with Air New Zealand booking unusual IT stuff up

    Yes - and there was only one skycouch left on the return leg - don't know what would have happened if someone else had taken it - maybe there was my first upgrade to premium - just dreaming. :D

    LAX/SFO with Air New Zealand booking unusual IT stuff up

    The e-ticket was issued when I made the booking. Then when I looked at the booking I noticed no seat selection but it says that multi destination bookings changes cannot be made on line so wasn't too worried. I only became suspicious when I noticed the changes in "pending" on my account.

    LAX/SFO with Air New Zealand booking unusual IT stuff up

    Recently I booked a USA flight with Air NZ while it was still on sale. Went through the whole process including seat selection and payment. Sky couch was on sale as well for almost half price so I thought bugger it and booked it return. I checked my bank account and all "pending" charges agreed...
