We're
pleased to announce the launch of our AFF
Community Online Store! In partnership with Amazon, you can now purchase hand-picked travel goods that we know will be useful to frequent flyers - such as noise-cancelling headphones, adapters, travel wallets and bags - from our online store and support AFF in the process.
Purchasing products from our Community Online Store is one way that you can help Australian Frequent Flyer to continue producing free, high-quality articles and podcasts, and help us to keep the site running without increasing the number of advertisements or raising membership prices. Thank you very much for your support! read

AFF Member Trip Reports |
Europe
from the back seat
|
Trip
report by jb747 | Having been to parts of Europe many times during my flying life, I'm now starting to see it from the other side. No more 36 hour stays, but sadly I have to pay for the accommodations. This trip has stops in Singapore, Zurich, Salzburg, Vienna, Graz, Ljubljana, Venice, Florence, Lucca, Milan, and then back to Singapore for a couple of days before heading home. read

Kakadu-du-du,
no pineapples, plenty of trees. A long weekend in the NT
|
Trip
report by bpeteb | Continuing with my (my Kiwi partner has been to everywhere before) discovery of Oz, we're just back from a long weekend at Kakadu. Not even close to enough time, but just like with last year's flying tasting-plate-sized visit to Adelaide and surrounds, I now want to go back for the full course. read

Member Profile |
This
week, we interviewed AFF member OZDUCK from Perth. OZDUCK joined Australian Frequent Flyer in 2010 and has so far made 1,438 posts.
|
| Q:
Most recent flight? |
A:
Singapore to Perth on a Singapore Airlines 'charter' flight replacing a Scoot one due to the ongoing B787 engine issues. (View OZDUCK's recent trip
report.)
|
| Q:
Favourite destination? |
A:
I think Germany is the standout for us. We have a few friends we have stayed with over there and it is nice to see 'normal' life in another country. It has both scenery and history to discover. Once you get out of the major cities there are lot of little unexpected buildings and town to stumble over. Over 3 trips we have spent about 2 months there and only scratched the surface. And the food is excellent and far more varied than most people believe.
|
| Q:
What's one thing you would never travel overseas without? |
A:
I know that a few other share this one. A complete physical copy of all our travel tickets, hotel bookings, transport details etc. It is all bound up in a little zip-up folder and split into separate sections for transport, accommodation, itinerary etc. It came in very useful on a couple of occasions this last trip.
|
| Q:
What's one piece of advice you would give to a new AFF member? |
A:
Be prepared to use the expertise of AFF members. I have seen the most obscure questions answered quickly and, usually, with good humour. There is an incredible amount of experience and knowledge among AFF members and they are almost always prepared to be helpful.
|
| Q:
Favourite thread on AFF? |
A:
The
view from my "office" - it is always fascinating to see where AFF members travel for both work and pleasure and gives a nice little vignette of our fascinating world. It also helps to nudge you to new thoughts about travel.
