Hello All, Long time - no post. Good to be back. I had a review of my travel this year and found I spent 250 hours in the air, plus an extra 100+ at airport before flights in lounges. A quick look at next years bookings and i'm already up to that point without adding any work trips. Small...

Hello! Long time, no see. After gallivanting around Europe for the last two years, I am finally returning home to Australia. I am proposing a BBQ and drinks at my new place on the Gold Coast. Would be a lot like the last one a few years ago which a few of you came to. Would be a limited...

Hi all, I trust everyone will enjoy AFF #8 - Sadly I am unable to make it re; my recent relocation to OOL. I am very tempted to put on another casual BBQ afternoon like earlier this year (or was it last year?). Sadly my parents have since sold the family home and we are now based in Lakelands...

Hey AFF, Now my Asia trip this year is fully planned and booked, I am moving my attention to my US trip in 2015 (early, I know, but I like to be organised so I can pounce on sales as they come up). More importantly, I was considering (like a post just put up) either doing the direct MEL-LAX on...

So, it's almost that time. Interested if we can get an unoficial aff drinks or brunch during the peak week of Mardi gras. I get in Friday after lunch and fly out Sunday before lunch. Will be marching this year with Pride in Diversity so most of Saturday afternoon and all Saturday night is out...

I doubt there are many on here who travel for the same sort of reason I do; being to go out clubbing in new and different places - but I am interested to know if Sydney's new lockout laws (now being introduced 24 Feb) will make you re-think your travel plans? Will you now be less likely (or...

Need some advice AFF community; My Mum & Dad were flying EK J to Turkey & Back a few weeks ago and my mum has only just informed me she was stuck with a syringe in the females bathroom of the EK J lounge in SYD. Apparently she reported it to 3 staff who refused to fill out an incident report...

I've had so many issues with NAB and hotel pre-authorisation charges on my debit card the last few months, taking on average a dozen phone calls and 20 days to be released back into my account. This can't be normal. Anyone have any advice on a bank that doesn't hold your money for half the year...

Hey all, there are a few posts about this but they look to all be about the older J on VA. I have 5 or 6 segments in J booked over december & jan and have just booked 1A - across both 737 & E190 - I just picked it because it sounds cool so you assume it is the better seat. Plus it is the only J...

Hi AFF, After a short discussion at the MEL event on Thursday, I am taking expressions of interest - gold/silver - for an OOL catchup in Feb 2014. Here is the initial idea that I am very open to amendments on; Date - Saturday 15 Feb Time - Midday onwards Location - My place, Isles of Istana...

Don't get me wrong, delays are part of the life of travelling, and anyone who travels a lot just has to accept it, but am I the only one who 50% of the time gets unbelievable service so above and beyond you would never consider leaving your airline, and the other 50 regretting ever choosing them...

So I had booked a few saver lite fares for the AFF Xmas Train Crawl, MEL-SYD/CBR-MEL. Since then something has come up requiring me to be in ADL on the friday, so I thought I would just re-rout my MEL-SYD to ADL-SYD and pay the $80 fee... but thats not all folks! Called the GCC to be told it was...

Hi all, I am looking at booking a trip to LAX to use up my QF points, and want some advice on the flight itself. At this stage I have figured out it would cost me about $3000 + 45k points to fly in J (if upgrade is available, if not PE). I have also noticed I could just fly in Y for 48k...

Hi all, My parents have booked Emirate's syd-lhr J class direct with them. Are they able to get the points and SC's on their QFF? If so, how? My dad is really bad with this stuff and just buys what my mum wants without thinking of his FF account. He doesn't even have his personal or business...
