Best: Aerobie Aeropress coffee maker - makes espresso (for my cup - triple ristretto - read 'tar') with just an electric jug. Plastic, compact, no mechanical parts, and best coffee I've had outside my favourite cafe.

Can anyone give me a vague idea of the cost for shipping a cat from the US to Aust? I've worked out the export & AQIS charges, but need an idea of how much the shipping might be. I also read that AA won't ship animals on flights more than 12 hrs duration, so advice on that aspect would be most...

Hi Sprucegoose :) I got very excited when I noticed this on MY boarding pass when I was travelling for work - it stands for Commercially Important Passenger, much like VIP, so I kindof left it hanging out whenever possible to see if I was treated any differently, but seeing I was flying...

Local (CBR) news this morning said she would fly from SYD to CBR and back, 'arriving' around 2pm, so I had a reminder in Outlook set up, but at around 1:30 I looked up from my corner desk on Lvl 6 (I have a nice view of the northerly flight path) to see her nice & low, flying north then banking...

I had few problems purchasing NRT/DFW/AUS return a few weeks ago, after reading posts & instructions here, just by going through AA website to reserve then calling the (Indian) call centre. They took my CC details over the phone & my receipt was snail mailed within a few days. The first...

[more travel than just flying] You can tell, in a big-name movie, what's going to come into screen as the camera pans in a shot in Penn Station, NY - true story!

You can't understand why family members didn't realise which city a movie's set in by the airport shots

you mean you wait 'til you get home??!! :D

So here in CBR we're all off to Canada... :)

Yes, I keep mine lean so it's all the key items of my itinerary on half a single A4 sheet, and that slips into my passport, along with my FF card & BPs. Another thing I do in preparation is photocopy all docs (passport, CCs, Dr lic, insurance, eTicket, accomm emails) at a reduced size &...

From many of these posts it seems like I'm in good company :D

So, the ACCC's Complaints & enquiries page has all the info you need...go for it ;)

I just spotted this publication on the ACCC's website - thought it might shed some light on the legalities of the pricing issue: Price advertising and the travel industry

from the ACCC's webpage: "Advertisements, price lists, or quotes that specify prices without referring to an additional, payable GST component risk contravening ss. 52 and 53(e) of the Trade Practices Act, which prohibit conduct or representations that mislead or deceive. Advertisements etc...

This software certainly looks interesting, however TwoPeaks was bought by Iambic October last year, and the TripTracker has yet to be re-released.

Ah, yes, but what I like is to have the quick-reference single sheet that I can refer to easily while travelling :) My template's now on the web, along with a couple of other FF spreadsheet examples

I'm in the process of setting up a US trip Jun/Jul, as a SFSC, and doing my usual documentation to make sure everything fits, and thought it might be interesting to find out if others do this sort of thing, and how they arrange it. I've found that there's heaps of useful information about...

:D I looked at the letter 't' to see if I could surround HP with them so they looked like headstones to signify America West's demise, but they have serifs :P
