    Article: Best Credit Cards for Airport Lounge Access

    Surprised the Bankwest More World credit card isn't mentioned here with TEN lounge passes per year through Loungekey (approx $700 value alone) for $270 p.a.

    Change to Bankwest Qantas Platinum earn rate from 8/9/23

    I have the World card and I see they have dropped the bonus points completely from 1-Jan-2024. I looked into other cards but couldn't find anything close to the 10 included lounge passes which I use completely (so $600 or $700 value there?) as well as travel insurance etc....so sticking with it...

    Australia to Reduce Incoming Int. Passenger Capacity from July 2021

    Just heard from a friend whose wife is coming back from UK mid-Aug into Darwin using the Gov repatriation flight. It cost her $4800 GBP one way, not sure if you can pick a class on those! It is costing me exactly the same with SQ in J class so can't really see point in the Gov one tbh unless...

    Australia to Reduce Incoming Int. Passenger Capacity from July 2021

    I seriously doubt it. When I have done it in the past, the hotels are just not set up for anything additional i.e. payments or anything beyond the 2 week limit. Once those 14 days are up, they seem just as desperate to move you out as you are to get out! You get escorted straight out the door...

    Thanks madrooster. I didn't know some, in fact most of this! Seems some very valid reasons to use a TA that I didn't think about or realise. Would you have any other advice for my particular circumstance? I don't really see there's much more I can do at this point, but would take any and all...

    I see. Thank you. Yes...I am in the fortunate position that work is paying for this. It would be a different matter if I had to do this all out-of-pocket. Thank you.

    Please excuse me here - I'm new but loving the forums here! I have been following madrooster and it seems he is very knowledgeable and has good info, but why do a couple of you see the need to use a good TA for these events as opposed to just booking direct? I have no idea - is madrooster a TA...
