A quick question for the brains trust as I don't normally fly domestic with loads of baggage but am usually loaded to the hilt on international - As a QFF Platinum do I only get 1x 23kg on a Q400 domestic flight or do I get the normal 2x 32kg that a WP gets for domestic flights (with no...

I tried using TotalVPN when connecting to the hotel wifi at various Pullman's and Mercure's on my last trip to China a couple of months ago, the best I could describe the experience was somewhere between extremely frustrating and a waste of time. Has anyone found any good VPN's that work...

(I couldn't see a better forum for this so please move it if there is!) Is anyone on here a Shopify Collaborator / store builder or SEO specialist?

A few weeks ago it was an airbridge at Brisbane that tore a hole in the side of an Air New Zealand 787, tonight they've broken the windscreen of a Qantas 737 - WTF?

My old Telstra Tough phone is slowly dying, it actually began to fall apart as soon as I got it but it has sort of hung in there since - looks like it has been through a few wars though). Telstra don't have their own branded Tough phones any more, and I am looking for a fairly decent phone with...

I'm in the process of starting a new online retail business importing and selling scuba diving equipment, and I am looking for ways to differentiate my business from that of other somewhat similar businesses. One of the things that I am wondering about is offering QFF points with purchases. Is...

This seems to be one of those pieces of information that is buried deeply somewhere but is difficult to find. I know that QFF'ers get extra checked baggage allowance on EK flights when booked through the EK website - but I am damned if I can find the tables that actually tell you how much! If...

I'm currently still showing as being a Silver member - despite having joined Accor+ which credits 20 nights, and having also stayed the following nights - Pullman Shanghai Xuhai - 3 nights Pullman Yantai Center - 3 nights Pullman Shenzhen North - 4 nights Mercure Hefei Huaihe Road - 2 nights...

Not Happy Jan!! I arrived at check-in in MEL this afternoon in plenty of time for my flight down to DPO, spoke to the staff member floating in the machine check-in area about whether it was sensible to try to use the machines for check-in or whether to go to the counters given that I had 3...

Knowing that I was going to be pushing the weight limits for the journey home I bought two different sets of portable luggage scales with me - just in case. Unfortunately one of them refuses to turn on, and the other fell apart! Does anyone have any recommendations for decent portable luggage...

Received a speeding fine in the mail this morning from when I hired a rental car in Italy three months ago. Anyone else had a speeding fine from overseas turn up in the mail? Clocked at 78kmh in a 70 zone by a camera apparently - considering that it was winter and night time and I was...

I'm going to be pushing the boundaries of luggage size a little on my next trip , and I'm just wondering if anyone has ever had their bags measured by the check-in agent at an airport? Do they even have tape measures at the check-in desks?

Just wondering if Virgin is also doing the $100 off for a return flight to Tassie promo using a TAS100 code or anything remotely similar? I've had a quick look on their website but haven't seen anything.

Its actually pretty good - and a heck of an improvement on the last one - 中国东方航空 - one word of warning though is that you do have to speed through the booking process or else it says "price has expired" at the very end and you have to start over again - the price is still available though -...

A WP, flying today YNT-PVG-HKG on MU on a MU ticket with my QFF number in the booking. Was given lounge access by MU in YNT this morning, but denied in Shanghai - staff at the lounge entry desk told me that as a Qantas WP I get access to the lounges within mainland China when doing domestic...

As a QF Platinum - do two people who I wish to guest in (flying international ex-Melbourne) have to be flying on the same flight?

I'm going to be starting an e-commerce business shortly and I have been looking at a wide range of e-commerce websites to see what things make a consumer-friendly and appealing store, and I came across this one which has a nice clean uncluttered design - but is there any way of telling what...

I guess the other concern with travelling to the U.S. is how long before the peaceful protests that took place last weekend become "less peaceful" as people start to rebel against the regime because their next iPhone suddenly became 30%+ more expensive? At the moment I think that there are a...

I've never travelled from Hong Kong into southern China before (by any means), and so I'm after some advice on the best way to get from Hong Kong to a town called LiaoBu which seems to be on the eastern side of an area loosely called Dongguan City in the northern part of Guangdong Province. The...
