    (free) Inflight wifi no more - JAL/CX

    I was hoping to post a review on the Aust Post travel card, which should get you 3 months free inflight wifi with boingo for $0. Just quickly, that bit was true up until a few weeks ago. As long as you sign up online and charge AUD100, you will get activated through the boingo MC portal and...

    Avalon AVV car hire closes at 4pm?

    Have we given up on Avalon? Seems like Budget and Avis close at 4pm yet there are two flights after that each day. I thought Avalon would have been growing in flights with Bonza and covid being over.

    Europcar coupon (wanted) $ off.

    Hi all. Super quick question. Anyone seen any $ off coupons for europcar? I don't want the % off coupons, because I find they inflate the 'base rate'. Something like save $25 on 5 day or more rental would be great (but will settle for a little as $10) Thanks

    Dejavu: Rental Car Hire in WA - 100km a day

    Hi All It appears I asked the same question back in 2010. I seem to recall twisting the arm of the person when I picked up my car at Karratha airport to increase from 100km to 150km per day. I'm now heading to either Paraburdoo or Newman to go see Karijini. There seems to be loads of seats...

Are these 'old school virgin blue row 1 seats' where the middle seat is blocked out and you can stretch across? SeatGuru Seat Map Japan...

    Car allowances, car hire, $ kilometer, etc

    Hi At the negotiating table in front of me there is talk about a car allowance. Previously I had a great deal where any time I needed to visit a customer, I'd just go to Hertz/Avis/et al and hire a car. Then I would submit fuel + hire costs and get reimbursed. This worked well because I use to...

    Hiring a mine equiped vehicle

    Hey. Hertz have some deals going with their mine equipped vehicles. Rough costs are $150 for a week with unlimited KMs. But I'm worried about how trashed these vehicles may be. I don't want one with a horrible clutch and ripped up seats. A 4wd twin cab may be very handy for exploring parts of...
