The original statement is clear: either activating and/or travelling will do. It's the article that confuses things by leaving out the "or". I'm not sure yet how badly this will affect me but I've already activated it for five trips from tomorrow to next August.

Just looked to see if I could fly in and out of Paris to avoid the APD but, despite it being included in the fares, a return to Paris was $200 dearer than to London and an open jaw was another $200 dearer. So many things are different in this post-Covid era.

I would get to the very end of the process, having selected seats and chosen meals then it would just give me a circle of death and never finalise the booking. I tried different browsers, different computers, even trying with a wireless connection and got the same result every time. I tried...

I'm glad you were able to make the booking. Because Air NZ had reneged on their claim to be having year round MCY-AKL flights, we wanted to fly SYD-AKL on Air Asia X in December 2022. After many, many attempts at making the booking online and trying to phone Air Asia here or in KL, we gave up...

I actually did this several years ago, when A380s were still new. I wanted to go on one but my wife has claustrophobia and can't do long flights, which was where A380s were used. Then Emirates introduced DXB-BNE-AKL so she gave me some points for me to fly Economy BNE-AKL and I used some of...

We've had some really good deals with Alliance from the Sunshine Coast to Cairns, Canberra and Ayers Rock. I can't see Qantas prices/offers matching Alliance.

I'm really glad that AFF has taken up the issue of KrisFlyer points expiry. As mature (aka 70+) leisure flyers, we find it difficult to get enough points to actually obtain any worthwhile flights or upgrades. I've contacted SIA a few times but only got unhelpful generic responses. A few years...

Loading the missing aircraft (and some earlier missing flight numbers) is taking ages. However, it has shown up some mistakes and missing flights so I think it's worthwhile.

After clearing the incorrect flights, the import of my flights was relatively straightforward apart from a 1967 flight shown as 2067 - I'll be 116 then! and three flights failing to load as the airport codes somehow had an extra X at the end. Now I just need to go through and add the aircraft...

Having deleted (one at a time) the 148 flights that had the wrong dates, thanks to MFR24 not interpreting normal dates, I experimented with moving the AFF columns to match the MFR24 columns myself but it didn't seem to make any difference - still no aircraft types.

I've noticed that the AFF exported spreadsheet and the MFR24 exported spreadsheets have the data in different columns (I'm hoping my spacing survives posting): Date FL# From To Dur Line Craft Dist Cl Reas MFR24: A B C D G H I ? M N AFF: A D B C G E L F J K There's obviously some...

Just seen bigchin's post and that helps. Still no import of aircraft types.

I've just discovered a new problem (or it may be an explanation). My dates are in the near universal dd/mm/yyyy format rather than the illogical US mm/dd/yyyy format and there are no flights in the imported list (of 198 flight out of 509 in AFF) with dates after the 12th of any month.

I got a reply from MFR24 - they say to limit imports to 50 at a time. I'll try it shortly.

I just tried to import my 509 flights to MFR24 and it only imported 198 of them. I've sent them an email asking if there's a way to improve that success rate but I'm not holding my breath.

timjohns: Also factor in the burgeoning strip of hotels along O'Riordan St / Bourke Rd between Domestic and Mascot Station. Many choices. Most are new hotels built in the last 1-3 years. Walking distance from Domestic and $10 cab/Uber ride to International. Stamford Plaza also has great...

We're retirees who like to travel a lot so budget is important to us. We catch the 400/420 bus to Mascot and stay at either Adina or one of the Meritons, depending which has the best value offer.

That's a pretty sad outlook on nature.

For a return flight to Europe on Emirates, the seat fees for the six sectors were extortionate and we tried to check in both of us early but had lots of problems. Haven't dared trying the book one seat option due to the risk of them putting someone else next to my wife. We do have a short QF...

As seniors, we fly a lot internationally, despite my wife's claustrophobia. We don't do any overnight flights and rarely fly Business but take stopovers instead (a couple of nights in five star hotels is a lot less expensive than an upgrade to Business). She always gets a window seat and hates...
