Well, contrary to the above opinions, I'd choose the QF Bus Lounge any time, followed by the Marhaba. Not that I personally would have to choose the QF Bus lounge (although it's OK. apart from no windows). The breakfast offerings will be fine. I just don't like AirNZ.

Beggars can't always be choosers. I'm sure you know that.

Well at least Covid was a natural phenomenon. As for this current debacle... You know who to blame (but that won't help).

The script kiddies keep playing, don't they?

Assuming the price and availability of fuel is not stupid.

Well, I have to say that Wise have done the right thing and reversed these rogue transactions, putting the money back into my account. Very quick and with a minimum of fuss, so I'm quite impressed. Better than a regular bank would have IME. Gives me a little more confidence in Wise generally.

Well, I got a message from Wise this afternoon to say that my Wise MC had likely been scammed for about $50 with Uber Eats (which I have never used). No idea how that could have happened, though I did use the card in Jakarta recently. The card has been cancelled and it will be interesting to...

I have a trip to Europe, booked several months ago, for May. On the way back I had booked ATH (A3)-DXB (UL) -KUL, as I am staying in Greece and it seemed to be the most cost-effective option, A3 (Y) and UL (J). However, under the present circumstances, DXB may not even be open to foreign...

I flew out of LHR late last year (through the BA First Wing in T5), and would have also done recently if it weren't for certain things going on in the ME. I fly through Heathrow several times a year. Is that recent enough for you (probably not)?

I guess you haven't flown domestically in a little while?

That sounds really good. Can you give us an example?

I don't even try to speak to the Qantas computer. I just click the option to say I don't have my PNR. Works wonders and saves a lot of unnecessary hassle.

I imagine it wasn't self funded. Please forgive me if I'm wrong.

They all can, but it's whether they will or not. You should assume not. For example my wife and her friend were travelling SYD-SIN on Scoot and her friend discovered that she had entered her maiden name instead of her current married name. So she asked the agent very nicely if they would change...

At least that's one smart move VA has made (as opposed to some of its other moves).

Yes indeed. Thankfully I have now received a full cash refund for my cancelled Etihad flights next week. It turned out to be a quick and seamless process in the end.

More fool him for being there in the first place.

That's interesting, and perhaps a good start, but it won't make me rush to buy a cheap JQ fare to AVV.

And lots of other places, like Taiwan and Turkey.

Just go to a physical money changer. You can get some pretty good rates, depending on the location and the currency. I'm sorry, but I must have missed this. These are still conditions on my ING account. YMMV (but if so, please tell me how).
