    Accor Plus Membership Discussion

    I know this has been asked/answered before, but I can’t find the relevant post. I have a stayplus free night with 30 June expiry. Do I have to stay before 30 June or can I book before that date for a stay later in the year?

    Qantas A380 at Gatwick

    Make sure you sort out where to credit your DL status credits before you check in. I’m not very familiar with Skyteam so can’t offer advice on where. Look at the upside: it’s like DSC split across two carriers!

    Qantas App issues?

    Interesting to note the subtle change of QF’s language from update three to update four. In 3 they listed the info disclosed to other users with this qualifier: “No further personal or financial information was shared.” But by update 4 it was this: “some customers were shown the flight and...

    For those who can still see their own account, a friendly reminder that a screenshot often comes in handy.

    The Qantas Newbie Questions Thread

    Can’t comment on the machines, but at BNE if you’re eligible to use the premium lounge entry and try to check-in there with an international connection you be sent back out to the check-in hall to use the International desk.

    Woolworths gift card thread

    Not a brilliant return, but still a useful source of top up points in small amounts, or for those whose cellar is already full. Thanks for the heads up.

    The view from my "office"

    Trying to get artsy on the evening walk with a long exposure. Unfortunately the trawler was going a bit quick. The one before the trawler arrived showed more of the twilight. Shorncliffe, Queensland.

    The view from my "office"

    Morning walk office. These guys live in the hollowed out base of a gum tree. And a stingray by the rock wall at high tide. Here’s the original photo before zoom and colour correction which shows just how well they’re camouflaged. Sandgate, Queensland.
