    Qantas QF7 retimed to 11.50am departure from Sydney

    My understanding is that because Syd-Dfw is now retimed to leave earlier, the OP needs an earlier Bne-Syd domestic flight to make the connection. Assuming it is booked on one ticket (PNR), it does not matter if it is paid with points or cash. Qf should and WILL open up a seat on an earlier...

    How well do you sleep on planes?

    I take sleeping tablets on overnight flights and get 4 or 5 hours (6 if lucky) sleep....not the best quality sleep, and always feel a bit groggy when I wake up.....but it is much better than no slerp at all!

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    New TRS rules? Goods no longer included in cap?

    I don't think anyone is saying don't declare it on return....you have to, and they will have you marked as having an expensive item....often (50+% of time), they will then just wave you through...of course it is a YMMV but an approach with no risk....they also allow a 10-20% depreciation so you...

    Car hire at AYQ....so expensive!

    Couldn't find a cheaper car hire so sucked it up! Saved us a lot of $$$$ in the end...it would have cost our party of 4 $99 each for a sunrise tour and similar for a sunset tour!! We did 3 sunset trips, 2 sunrise trips, a drive to Uluru for a base walk and to Kata Tjuta by ourselves...100 km to...

    We took Mystar from Tallinn to Helsinki in September last year as it is the newest ferry...cost a bit more than the Eckero line ferry which I think is the cheapest. MyStar was very new and impressive.... we didn't buy any food on the 2 hour ferry ride but there were many restaurants and cafes...
