Luton Airport is quite close to Luton... some people walk it because they don't want to pay the rip-off £4.90 fare for the people mover, only to discover that the road is uphill. Tallinn Airport is quite close too, I walked to the city when I arrived there.

Given the higher conversion rate, might it make sense for an Aus resident to use an NZ ER card? You would of course have an Aus ER card for the boosts here, but the NZ card would earn more on base spending that doesn't qualify for any boosts (on your Aus card). I guess it means you would need...

Well e-visas have only been around for 6 years or so :) I recall having to position by the correct door of the bus (always landed at a bus gate at the old airport) and then sprint to the visa desk as soon as the doors opened, 5 rial note in hand otherwise it would be a lengthy wait...

Interesting, my QFF and other FFPs have only my first name and surname. Sometimes I have flight tickets with my middle name and they have always credited ok

I'm a bit confused by this post. Aus citizens don't need a visa to visit Oman for up to 14 days. I went in October 2024 and did not need to do anything in advance.

There are three jurisdictions for parking in the UK - England & Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. The DVLA registers cars in EW&S and the DVA does that for NI. The DVLA does not have information about a vehicle's owner, only the "registered keeper" who may not be the owner. Anybody can...

From what I can see Cash Passport charges A$3.50 per withdrawal? And Cash Passport's exchange rates are 2.5% worse than Wise, so even if Wise had no free withdrawals you would still be better off paying the Wise ATM fee of A$1.50 + 1.75%. I believe both Wise and Cash Passport are regarded as...

Perhaps, but in my case I was stopped because I had no luggage (and maybe an incorrect assumption based on my looks). She thought I had missed the luggage belt and tried to redirect me back, even as another guy in a suit carrying only a briefcase was not stopped; then she assumed I had arrived...

I recently did a same day trip from Aus to NZ and back. After passing immigration and biosecurity with no questions asked, there were customs agents standing around in the area just before you exit airside to arrivals landside. I was pulled aside and interrogated about purpose of trip, my job...

I was unable to get a new card using the new QPay app - and my account disappeared from the old app - but I managed to do it on the website. Is anyone able to answer this question? Also does using this card attract the 1% or whatever fee that QF charges for normal mastercards?

It could be clearer and more explicit, but yes it is mentioned: https://sniip.com/qantas-frequent-flyer-terms-conditions/ Basically you only get points if you pay them a fee, which makes sense.

You can delete your account but, unless they manually approve it, it won't qualify for the bonus if you re-open it with the same details. To get the bonus automatically you have to sign up on a new device, email, phone, QFF and payment card. You don't need to use a real name as they won't ask...

I got the 5000 points the day after the third bill was paid.

What are the likely routes of the flight? If Russian airspace is available, would it be useful for this flight? E.g. up to Darwin, Hong Kong, China, Siberia, Estonia? Or would it be better to go across to WA and then roughly follow the route taken by QF9/10, even if it was acceptable to fly...

Most nights appear to be available for 38k-40k points which I value at USD 195. Currently around A$300. Considering a booking as am Diamond and have lounge pass

The ETA is an authorisation to travel to the UK, it is not an entry clearance. Once you have landed in the UK, it would be pointless making you get an ETA. When you go through immigration the officer or the e-gates will just do the usual checks on your passport. The UKBF currently does not...

But clicking through cashrewards again will just replace the LL cookie with the CR cookie. Cashrewards also embeds their own "Travel Agent" code and, at least for me, the only way to get cashrewards to track is to untick the box "I am a travel agent" on IHG.com on the three search pages that...

I had an annual policy with 1Cover which is about to end. Even though I have no pre-existing conditions so should not be affected by the issues raised in this thread, the whole saga does not inspire confidence in them and I will be looking for a different provider for the next year.

In the IHG program, "points & cash" is exactly the same as a full points booking, but you just purchase a multiple of 5000 points at the time of booking and then immediately redeem them. This is always charged in USD regardless of the location of the hotel. The hotel is not involved in this and...

I was unable to use one of mine, so called up and asked nicely, they gave me a new one valid for 12 months. Perhaps being a Diamond helped.
