    Layover in Doha, Qatar

    I was gonna ask you about Ramadan, but you've already looked into that :) The Middle East does come alive after sunset in Ramadan, and it's more suitable for tourists since you don't have to worry about eating out. However, if it's only 6 hours after 1900 hrs that you've got to go about, not...

    Layover in Doha, Qatar

    Hi Polardabar Depends on if you've been to DXB before - if you have, you can skip DOH. Not much to see there really. If you haven't, it may be worth your while, but it seems DOH is still a couple of years away from being a must-see destination. (Note: I've never been to DOH. My parents live in...

    For the watch enthusiast/frequent flyer

    Agree with Dmitri - watches for me personally are a sentimental and emotional purchase. I know that one day I'll inherit my dad's watch collection, as my son/son-in-law will inherit mine in the future. I don't think the same can be said for smartwatches - some may go on to become collector's...

    For the watch enthusiast/frequent flyer

    *drooling* Prestige Time has this for USD 9.5k - not bad at all. Jaeger LeCoultre Watches Master Geographic 39mm - Page: 1 of 1 I still expect it to be double that price in Australia though. Like Ric says - KUL is the best place to go. The Swiss Watch Gallery at Pavillion Mall in Bukit Bintang...

    For the watch enthusiast/frequent flyer

    +1 kpc !! Very interesting watch, though it seems ever so slightly novelty-ish for $8k (is that USD or AUD?). Then again, I bought my JLC Reverso for $9k, and that's a watch that can be flipped over, so I'm not in a position to question expensive novelty-esque watches :p Good luck with...

    Status run for 80 SC

    Oooooooh. Just found this: SYD-MEL-LST-MEL-SYD with QF for $610. That's a steal for 80 SC. Experts out there - any thoughts ?

    The thought did cross my mind. Just don't tell her that ;)

    Status run for 80 SC

    Should have mentioned that the rates to PER/CHC on JQ are for a return fare. As much as I'd love to fly to OOL and back in J, I cant justify spending ~40% more for the same SC. Wife says "Forget the J ticket. Buy me a bag instead." No brownie points there :( *sigh*

    Status run for 80 SC

    Hi All I've been calculating how many status credits I'll be earning till the SC clock gets reset at the end of July 2015, and looks like I'll be 80 SC short of Platinum (WP). The options from Sydney (my base location) for the cheapest status runs are to either Perth or Christchurch on JQ...

    Replica swords in checked baggage

    Hi All Thanks for your comments - much more feedback here than I've got from Jetstar themselves :shock: As for getting documentation, I'll be sure to ask for it whilst buying the sword. Better safe than sorry. About the price of the sword - I don't have $$$ to spend on a Katana :lol: it's...

    Replica swords in checked baggage

    opusman and MEL_Traveller : Thanks !! I thought as much; there must be heaps of tourists who buy replica swords, so shouldn't really be a problem since it's not the real deal...

    Replica swords in checked baggage

    Hi guys... I’m travelling from Tokyo to Sydney (via Gold Coast) on JQ12/JQ409 soon. I want to bring back a replica katana (samurai sword) with me in my checked luggage - is this permitted? Will I face any problems when I land in Gold Coast, and have to check in my baggage to fly to Sydney...

    cheap business class

    Did someone say cheap business class tickets ?? Shut up and take my money !!! :D That was precisely my first thought when I came across some of those sites, but a bit of investigating, and reading through the topics from these fine AFF members showed me the true way *insert halo/god-like...
