In BNE lounge for about the next hour (or until VA1265 gets called) - can guest 2. Chicken biryani + rice is the warm meal, and lounge is moderately busy today.

Close. QLD Govt owns the generators in this State and hence this is a good way of electioneering (we have an election in October) as well as helping your population out.

TBH ride sharing is a bit of a lottery at the moment. Ola drivers were renowned for cancelling when Uber was surging, however Uber drivers are starting to be bad about it too - they'll accept a job, then call you to ask destination (which they're not allowed to do under the contracted...

Much as I've tried in the past, I believe you'd have more chance catching a flying pig. YMMV though. 😇 Direct on Polaris, not a chance. Whilst MEL-LAX or SFO will likely appear, I don't like your chances on the internal flights as well. The only direct SFO-FLL is an 11pm service ex-SFO, so...

Yep. Generally not an issue. The ticket is issued and that's the end of the transaction.

I'd recommend making your booking in Y now (assuming there is availability) and then copping the $60 cancellation fee to then pick up a J fare if it appears (generally at T-14 days or T-21). At least that way you're getting to SFO.

How did you find OVO? I looked at moving to them mid-2023 but missed their (very good) offer and the next offer was line ball with my current provider.

Whilst 20,000 points would be nice, also have to take into account whether the rates are competitive or not. For myself in Brisbane, 38c/kWh peak, 25.84 shoulder and 24.82 off-peak isn't bad, however only 5c/kWh rebate for solar. TBH I'll be staying with Alinta, however YMMV.

In the VA BNE lounge until 7:45ish, can guest 3. Sausages and scrambled eggs on offer for breakfast - looks like beef sausages though. VERY quiet this Easter Sunday - first departing flight is 314 to MEL

Oops, missed the sectors focus there. If it's just sectors may as well do BNE to whatever's cheapest on the day - PPP, MKY, NTL...

SYD-CBR leg will be in Y only (courtesy of Link).

This. Out of BNE it's generally going to be BNE-MEL-HBA that gets you most bang for buck, as the BNE-MEL leg is in Level 2 for SC's, whereas both BNE-SYD & SYD-HBA are both Level 1. BNE-SYD/MEL-ADL can also be reasonable as well.

SYD-MEL-HBA and return in J is coming up at $1434 same day return for 220SC. Add in a discount code and you'll knock some off that fare, then it's just a pair of Choice fares at a time and destination if your choosing to get the 250. There's also SYD-BNE-CNS for $1453 return in J that would...

In my experience (November 2023) they'd posted within 24 hours of landing. YMMV. Did your boarding passes have your VA number on them?

As someone who owns two cats (and would love a dog), I currently don't travel with either of them because I don't want to put them in the hold. Having said that, if I was to have them in the cabin with me - similar to most parents with babies - I'd be extremely self-conscious of making sure that...

Most of the last month, certainly. Prior to early January it just seemed like a normal Brisbane summer - warm and humid. Admittedly, the advice I got when I moved here has kept me in good stead - live east of Logan Rd ...and the further, the better :cool:

Your wife will attain Gold either on the day or day after she passes the required number of SC's, and then she'll have 12 months from that date to obtain another 400SC to retain.

Slightly off the original topic, but (if you don't mind me asking) how many Mileageplus points is the Polaris upgrade asking for, and what fare type are you upgrading from??

Pity there's an Easter blackout... :|

Gold for me. As a Brisbanite I'm happy to help with organising.
