Just wondering if anyone has any feedback on this. Am looking to fly Melbourne to Guangzhou mid April on China Southern, and have started sussing out fares. Found some good ones (economy) for around $900 AUD. Went into a local travel agent, and they told me that the best the could do was...

Hi all, I've tried looking this up, but am having trouble finding info from my iPhone. I am traveling from New Zealand back to Australia, and currently have an opened bottle of alcohol with me. Is that ok to pack into my checked in luggage? The bottle is roughly half full (500ml) - will...

Certainly not the case for me - I was able to withdraw $2000 (my credit limit) in one go, but I had to wait until the withdraw showed in my account (ie it showed up in internet banking) before I could withdraw any more money (and I was able to once again withdraw $2000). This is what they said...

This was certainly true last year, but I think this has been changed recently, and they haven't updated the website - when I had dramas trying to withdraw earlier this year (August), I rang them, and they said you could withdraw your credit limit every couple of days... I mentioned it said...

I lost my bag last year on a Qantas flight and got $300 compensation... I had a flight MEL to KIX via Sydney booked through Jetstar. The MEL to SYD flight was on Qantas, and it was delayed, so much so that I missed the connecting flight to Japan. None of our bags turned up at Sydney airport...

I think you may be right there... I'll see what I can do... Only problem is I don't have a local TA, I have always arranged everything myself! Does anyone have any suggestions of online travel agents that will help organise these kinds of trips? I have in the past emailed a few of the...

Hey all, I'm trying to organise a trip for my parents to come visit me in Japan, around Christmas time. The catch is that they want to fly here (Japan), take the boat to China, then fly home from Shanghai/Hangzhou. I'm trying to figure out the best way (cheapest!) to organise this. They can...

In the interest of updating this thread, I thought I would post my recent experiences flying through Manila airport (and a little about flying on Phillipine Air). I recently flew cough-MEL via MNL on Philippine Air, with a 3 hour stopover in Manila, the flight was booked through Zuji. When I got...

Yep, I always let them know when I'm overseas, much better option than having your card cancelled on you whilst traveling... I often put 2-4L on my card with no issues.

I know this is an old review, I was wondering if anyone has flown through Manila recently? I have a flight on Sunday that is cough-MNL-MEL (Philippine Airlines), I'll be transiting in Manila for two hours. There is a 750 (peso? local currency) departure tax, I'm wondering if I'll need to...

Yep, that's what they told me, and that's certainly what I experienced. I think this has changed recently, my card definitely locked up last year when I attempted to take more than $1000 out, and that's what the website says. However, when I rang, they told me this new information, and it...

I have successfully used the card on many other trips (although not in Europe, I didn't have the card when I went to Europe) to Asia, some up to 3 and 4 months long, with no issues what-so-ever, it really was the limit thing that stuffed me up this time. So as long as you're not planning on...

Just wanted to post my recent experience with the card... I've used it in many countries now, without too many issues (although I had one about a year ago in Japan, I think I posted about that). I'm in Japan again at the moment, and had to take out a heap of cash recently (you have to prepay...

Yep, the sign I've noticed said 210 yen. I haven't been charged anything for withdrawing money yet (I haven't withdrawn from a Seven Eleven ATM, only citibank etc at airports, and at post office atms). I've been taking out 50,000 yen at a time (~$500 AUD, no need to take out anymore, as I can...

Just a follow up - have been using my card in Japan for the past month, and its worked brilliantly. Japan is a little different with ATMs - with an international CC you cant just use any ATM, you need to find specific ones. Most ATMs at the various airports are fine, as are ATMs at Seven...

Well, I head off next week, and will be back at the beginning of September, so I'll be sure to report!

Nope, but I'm over there next week, was going to rely on them as my source of money... any one else?

So the followup: Got to the airport with plenty of time, like I suspected. However, something I wasn't expecting, one of the earlier flights to Brisbane had been cancelled, and the majority of the people from that flight had been re-booked onto the flight I wanted to swap to. The Virgin...

Apologies if it's been asked before/is general knowledge - have tried searching, but no luck... I'm wondering if it's possible to swap to an earlier flight, when checking in? Specifically: I'm flying MEL-BNE at 7pm on later this week, on Virgin Blue. I got the later flight, as I was...

Thanks for posting the fares - what great prices. Return to BKK for $568 inc tax - crazy. Unfortunately I must study (gotta pass those uni exams!)... So no travel till June :(
