    What to do with My Platinum One Free Platinum Partner Offer

    Ok so I am at a loss, what to do with it this year, normally I have give it to a colleague, but currently I am in start up mode as the lone employee in Aus for a US company, so no colleague that could truly benefit from it. My Wife only travels with me if she travels so wasted on her. Has...

    Made any travel mistakes lately?

    Went on domestic Aus and brief NZ road Trip with my VP who was visiting from the US, all good first few days on the road, then as we are sitting in Sydney with about 4 hours to fly to Auckland my heart sank, I just knew instantly that my Passport was back in the home office in Melbourne. Got...

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    Well i'm sitting at 3,100 SCs and have until June 30, so i think I might be safe this year, but cant really see the point in chasing even if I wasn't, I would be more than happy to enjoy the benefits of lifetime gold and fly very little as opposed to chasing WP or P1. Family time v Plane time =...

    When is next anticipated double SC promotion?

    A Agreed, gimme I don’t hold off, but I will forward book a lot more, so for me doesn’t matter as I only fly QF, but for others that do the same it locks revenue in.

    The great hand luggage only challenge!!!

    All Aus based flights are QF, so that is about 80% of my travel, everything else is Asia/US and seldom has any tighter restrictions than QF, so I’m good from that front. I have a lot of ex army mates that do FIFO with severe luggage restrictions, and have no desire to share that pain.

    The 7kg 1 week pack challenge

    It has been considered in the past, just not sure it would do down all that well with some of my clients.

    The great hand luggage only challenge!!!

    Pretty much only Marriott/SPG, didn’t even know about the gym gear option, must have missed it lol. To be honest my tops, shorts and socks weigh less than a kg all together. I use very lightweight gear which also means it folds small as well. My biggest issue is the second pair of shoes/runners.

    The 7kg 1 week pack challenge

    Dear QANTAS, I hear you want us frequent travellers to be able to have our carry on weigh in at 7kg’s or less in a correctly sized bag, even if we plan to be away for a week or more. Challenge accepted So, with all the BS at the gate lately I decided to set myself a real challenge, I wanted a...

    The great hand luggage only challenge!!!

    I’ve done it, I went with a 4whl Victorinox Werks 20 and have even trial packed for a week measuring as I go.

    The great hand luggage only challenge!!!

    Im about to venture into the world of 4 wheels for the first time, I like the idea being able to easily wheel through the terminal and plane, as per my earlier post, I am just tired of all the people glued to their phone walking into and tripping over my bag. I have survived with two wheels this...

    The great hand luggage only challenge!!!

    Yes my travel is House to Car to plane to Hotel, dragged into the occasional meeting on the return day, and then home, repeat next week. It looks like I may now go with a Victorinox Werks Traveller, for a spinner they come in at an OK weight, have called three separate repair warranty agents...

    The great hand luggage only challenge!!!

    I can definitely see the value in these, my issue is that I almost always need to wear suits or at the least Jackets, this means these style of bags wear them down and wrinkle them, that would be my biggest concern.

    The great hand luggage only challenge!!!

    So does that mean you still have 2 bags? A laptop bag plus your travel gear? So two shoulder bags??? I think my greatest day was when I could finally travel with a lightweight computer, I often double check it’s in it case.

    The great hand luggage only challenge!!!

    Thanks for that, yeah Delsey is definitely an option, I have Delsy large Duffel and family suitcase in the Helium Range. I have been looking at the Delsey Motmarte I think it’s called, does that sound familiar? When you say max dimensions, are you meaning 105, 110 or 115. One of the other...
