As most have heard no doubt, a "leak" from HSBC has informed its Qantas Platinum card holders of a cap on points earn of $2.5K as of Aug 01 and no longer a x2 earn from overseas transactions. I had it on very good authority over coffee this morning American Express is to announce a similar thing...

I stand corrected and will climb back under my rock where I have been hiding since the last person on this forum snapped at me like that... Au Revoir dear sir..

I wouldn't have thought a Frequent Flyer forum would be an arena for this type of discussion however I'm quickly finding anything goes! My thoughts are simplistic, contracted and partisan - marriage is marriage and regardless of the archaic views of many, marriage is a bond between two people...

I am in Germany at the moment.In the last few days I have heard about the Greek issues causing angst amongst European traders and the weakening of the Euro against the Pound, I have heard about how the economy caused the birth defects in children in many villages in the former Eastern Blok...

. . . What is the criteria to attend this prestigious event? It's just after 10pm, I'm back in Austin (and hating it) and planning a visit to see my folks in Adelaide because anywhere in the world - yes, even Adelaide (sorry to my SA friends and esteemed members here, exclude yourselves from by...

Anyone who has Lurpak as his avatar must know "how it's done". Maybe we should meet up sometime Mr. Hancock and have high tea, warm scones dripping with Lurpak and strawberry jam, you just have no idea how excited that makes me thinking about that... "Purr"Anyway, on topic, I am suffering time...

HiI stayed there earlier this week prior to a flight to the US (I'm in Tampa at the moment, some pampering at the (ex-Westin) Innisbrook Resort - a great round on Copperhead today for interested golfers). I thought the hotel was adequate.I had a larger room that faced the airport. The bed was...

I wish I needed one! Short hair, straight, would love some frizz!

You say that you only fly spasmodic, so I am guessing that you must fly a few First Class flights during the year to maintain your WP (platinum) status?

Well, I am back here again, I must admit, flying AA F was less stressful than the cough private service I last had! I have the whole of next weekend except dinner Saturday night to explore. I am tempted to just fly down to Tampa for the day, but transfers to/from airports etc and having to be...

Enjoying a wonderful late lunch at Hently... Highly recommend the Salmon with a Cloudy Bay! I need a rich partner to marry -either sex is ok, and live here on the beach forever.... I'm at the intercon and anyone who hasn't abused me or made a snide remark in the past is welcome to join me for...

Hello. I am in Adelaide The temperature is perfect and a lovely fresh breeze from the ocean titillates my outlook for the day. Is there anywhere that you local flyers catch up for a vino in the evenings?

Isn't Atlanta the most pitiful place in the world from a less than brilliant VIP jet terminal to transfer limos out of the 60s to downright rude staff at the Westin? Then to top it off, I have to fly commercial out of this ***t hole on Wednesday. Anyone around who wants to have some fun?Stupid...

My father once told me about a time when he spear gunned a bull shark in the Torrens inlet. Him and his friends were diving and came across a huge bull shark, so being the true red blooded male he was, he killed it. The prize (which still hangs in the garage at their house) was the jaw. So...

The negativity shown here, being accused of not being who/what I am, just underscores my initial observations. Possibly not the most linguistic article I have written, a couple of glasses of Pinot can do that, but all the same..! For the 2 or 3 genuine replies, yes, we are on the same page and...

without wanting to sound like a pretentious cough, I am quite a powerful person. I don't mean this as I hold power, I mean this as I am a polarizing person who attracts people to me in most private functions yet I am a formidable opponent in any court room who can bring a grown man to tears and...

Re: Rumour:[Denied by RR] Qantas to ban JQ SYD-MEL pax from F lounges & send to J lou zac august - I have been seated looking at a senior manager from SYD to Newman (Hope Downs) listening to him moan and groan that the service at executive jets wasn't up to par and the catering on the plane was...

Re: Rumour:[Denied by RR] Qantas to ban JQ SYD-MEL pax from F lounges & send to J lou Great comments regarding the Chairman Lounge being dropped. I have been overlooked numerous times for this special card due to "others" in management who are deemed by our overall group manager to be more...

LOL yes - since Uni - Clearly Stupid (Claire Lee Stupid) It is only my friends though that don't get slapped!

Hi - thank you for the warm welcomes. I travel both Qantas and Virgin domestic although international has a scattering of airlines being Qantas, British Airways and Singapore Airlines. As for service, a good question. I have found business class on the small planes far better on Qantas in...
