    Have decided to stay put in Rome in Trastevere! For Paris, do people suggest the museum pass? Do you save much time skipping the line at all with the pass?

    5.5 Weeks Europe - Critique my trip!

    In August, in the summer heat, where would people recommend staying in Rome. At the moment i am staying by the river, in Trastevere, however due to the vicinity of the major sites i am second guessing whether i should rebook in the Colosseum area. Thoughts?

    5.5 Weeks Europe - Critique my trip!

    Thanks all for the comments. I've locked in my itinerary now - slight change as we are going to Tomorrowland instead of San Sebastian. Now i would like to dig your brains on best ways to transfer from each area? And what is the best way to book trains? Thank you all! Transfers: London -...

    Do people think it's a bit too rushed/too many destinations? Or a good taste of Europe.

    5.5 Weeks Europe - Critique my trip!

    Amalfi Coast and Cinque Terre, we both haven't locked in places. San sebsatian we just have heard so many good things we thought we would make the trip, we were just using Bilbao as a stopover to get to San Seb - not actually stay in Bilbao. I need to make amendments as we are spending 2 days...

    250,000 Velocity Points - MEL - LHR Reward Seat - Help!

    Trying to see the validity of trying to book 2x return trips from Melbourne to London using the 250,000 velocity points from the NAB home loan promotion. I'm a QFF so apologies for the questions! So far I am struggling to see any fares, of 75,000 points each way at all? The best I can see is...

    200K points, Bronze status....! What to do.

    probably could call my bank but cant be bothered talking to them at the moment. i currently have an ANZ QFF rewards card for a few years now, can i cancel it and re-apply for another one to get the bonus points?

    Domestic flight. Lost baggage question?

    Size wise it's fine apparently hah, so i'll just risk it. Worst case i'll take out two of the camera bodies and two of the lenses and carry it around my neck to beat the weight limit. :)

    200K points, Bronze status....! What to do.

    I think after much deliberation, i think i'll save the business class ticket for a Mel-London flight. The flight Mel-LAX is 'only' 14Hours vs a 24hour flight Mel-London which for another 50k points i think is much more worth it! Will think it over though.

    Domestic flight. Lost baggage question?

    Ah you are right, 105cm is total linear dimensions. I know it's low odds, but i just don't want it to be that time i do fly and check it in, somehow it gets lost! Only ever lost a bag once during 20 years. I also have AMEX Platinum travel insurance, but i don't think that covers too much. I will...
