Is there a way to search, on QF Wines, for listings with single bottles (x1) rather than listings with cases of 6 or 12 bottles which more often appear on the page for obvious reasons? I undersand most folks purchase by the case, but sometimes it would be nice to view or purchase one bottle...

Yes, I know. You're probably reading this on an iPhone or a Samsung. But I'm typing this on a laptop, with my Sony phone sitting next to me. Strange maybe for you, but true. :p Anyway, I'd like to upgrade to a new Sony Xperia phone. No, don't start. This isn't an Apple vs Samsung debate. Put...

So it's finally happening; we're getting married on October 4th this year and it's already coming up fast. :cool: We want to get to RAR on QFF points and then of course nip across to AIT for a few days while we're at it, as they do. I think most flights are from SYD and AKL, but I even thought...

I booked ROK–TSV–MEL in economy on the QFF website using the usual 18k or so reward points. The TSV–MEL segment is an evening JQ flight, arriving at MEL about midnight. When I go to view the booking for that leg over on the JQ website, it suggests that a "meal" is included but no bundles have...

Who here has taken the SeaLink ferry or a Hinterland Aviation flight to Palm Island from Townsville? Would you consider it an option for a day trip or even an overnight stop for the sake of seeing something different while exploring along the coast of QLD there? I understand that safety used...

Kiva: make a loan, change a life so they say. Has anyone tried Kiva.org before and, if so, what have your experiences been? Do people actually pay back the loan over time? How long? Or might we consider it a donation and if they pay it back, well good then, but if not, well 'happy birthday'...

I have a FREE ticket to tomorrow's NRL rugby match in Canberra to give away to any member here who can use it. Raiders v Knights kick off at 3pm. Before then, the women's NRLW Raiders v Roosters play from about 12:30pm. It'll be their first home game, so a little history in the making. Both...

Yesterday: I got halfway through booking a business reward seat, departing this Friday afternoon MEL-SYD-CBR. Selected seats 3A on both flights, but then the website disappeared soon as I clicked on the flight details one last time to confirm the connection time in SYD. I was about to click...

Remind me again: aren't Suncorp partnered with another bank somewhere? Was it Bendigo bank? Is it now NAB? Or both? I know that some smaller banks may be connected with each other, in the sense that you apply for a credit card but can't get the rewards points because you've held a similar one...

What am I missing here? Haven't used Flybuys in years, so had to re-create an all-new account but cannot seem to link it to my Velocity account. What's the story here?

It seems that hotel credit cards (HH for example) are not common here like they are in the USA. Do you think it's worth signing up to a foreign one, or stick to QFF and VA cards here? Any snags that I might be unaware of?

I can't log in to my ANZ account anymore. Never had an account with them, other than a credit card which I cancelled sometime last year. Funny thing is, I don't remember when I cancelled it. Check all through my emails but can't find anything. Can I ring them with the old customer reference...

Saw this reported over on FlyerTalk and thought some folks might be interested over here, if you didn't already know... https://www.flyertalk.com/articles/delta-and-american-express-turn-a-retired-747-into-credit-cards.html Seems like a great way to recycle old metal and a fun, novelty...

Hi folks! I'll be traveling on Friday MEL – BNE before catching the evening flight to NOU (about 2.5 hours between flights). My airfare is all on QF ticketing, but the last hop BNE – NOU is a codeshare, operated by Air Calin metal. Can I check-in online as per a normal domestic leg? I'll be...

Flying through OOL (Gold Coast) this afternoon, it occurred to me that this is one airport at which I give no toss about lounge access and other such airside facilities. Half hour ago I was walking along the beach (and getting sunburnt) but now here I am waiting to board the aircraft. Sure beats...

Why fly direct to Asia when you can pop past Fiji for some R & R en route? Just received an email from FJ, not sure if it's directed at specific signups or for the general eager population. But there are flights from SYD to HKG via NAN, for example, from $599 return. I'd consider this an...

Over the years I've seen some different, interesting and certainly curious fares between BNE and MEL (Tullamarine) or MEB (Essendon). JetGo recently went into voluntary administration, but they did BNE–DBO–MEB and BNE–WOL–MEB. About five years ago we had the young Air Australia that also died...

I'm headed to Alaska in November and wondering what your thoughts are in terms of the itinerary and if you folks have any suggestions for an AK-first-timer. Initially I'll fly into ANC late in the evening on a Wednesday, probably pretty jetlagged after stopovers in HNL and SEA (that's QFF...

Brisbane to Uluru/Ayers Rock from $89, with JQ flights beginning August 3rd. Got the email and saw these fairs yesterday but not jumping on them myself. Gonna save my dosh for an upcoming stint to Alaska mid-winter later this year. But this is certainly revolutionary, even if on good old JQ...

I asked this one over at FT, but I hope you don't mind me plucking your brains too because I know there's a few members over here who are full of this kind of thing and two heads are better than one! The usual story, as always. Limited to no availability for when I want to book with QFF points...
