If the earth was flat, you'd think that at least one AFFer would have been to the edge or edges and would be posting about it here: https://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/community/threads/where-did-you-visit-for-its-geographical-significance.122412/ In fact, you'd think that it would be a...

When is critical. Certain organisations would be very interested if it was on 22 Nov 1962, especially if you're a smoker.

The grassy knoll.

haha yes that's a little silver lining. I was thinking of the poor buggers at the post office though - my local might stop accepting payments with these "gift cards" like some others do.

I tried to rationalise these cards to pay a VIC land tax bill late last year (post must be a few pages back). It's a very borderline proposition imo, not least of all due to the time and effort required to acquire and then pay with nearly 50 cards. Hopefully the Coles version (no points but...

Some driver shenanigans at CBR recently where a couple of Didi drivers cancelled me and then picked up other pax. I get the kids to spot the number plate. Obviously I don't know on which platform they accepted rides but Uber was 2.5x the price of Didi ($92 v $38). So I'm guessing that almost...

Gee I hope there's a PAK v ZIM game - it's going to be a ripper.

I often wonder how the guy in front of me at lost luggage in ZQN got on after they lost his luggage with his (very expensive Sage) fly gear, which meant his short weekend trip was completely ruined. As a silver lining, I'd imagine he'd be glad to re-purchase the gear assuming it was possible...

OT but I heard that for Halloween, many years ago, it was normal to hand out home baked treats like cupcakes, brownies and the like. Then someone put pins in them.

Hardly. If anything it demonstrates that gifting should be done at the end of a flight. Also, it's not an allegation. It's straight up levelling an accusation. And it's reasonable to do so if you've received something that others have not.

Watching "Weeds" on Netflix and the soundtrack is terrific. It's a decade or two old. A song called "Most Wanted" by Cults caught my attention. It's easy to find on Youtube but here's a link anyway. Don't let the Weeds reference misguide you - it's about heroi_. I've spent most of the day...

Of course there was dilemma when asked if they had anything flammable.

Travelling CBR-MEL last week, I left a Leatherman in my carry on and had to trudge back to check it in. Luckily I had a tote bag in my carry on too and thankfully had room to move in my WP baggage allowance. I've made this mistake before, once, at ROK and they fetched my checked in bag so I...

There's literally 17 pages discussing this. TL;DR? Allow me to summarise: It is widely suggested gifting creates an obligation or an awkwardness for the crew and it is speculated that gifting is done to receive, or hope to receive, preferential treatment. Gifters, however, do not see it...

I got only 100 points despite using the link I received in February as quoted above. Feeling very measly.

I see todays SB discount is a mere 12% capped at $20. Given the relatively high prices at BWS to begin with, this isn't likely to yield much. Wondering what the reason/s for the reduction may be. My guess is that's related to number of orders <$100 they get on discount day.

You only need to give them to those that can respond in kind.

BNE has or had a little notepad colour-coded ticket next to the elevators that indicated what level you parked on. I would write on the row too. And then hoped I didn't lose the ticket.

If that was of any concern to them, they'd remove all high value GCs and the pre-paid visa/mastercards from the shelves altogether, especially the $1000 ones from Officeworks, rather than just randomly hand out a flyer or limit them to five per account per day (my family has just four accounts)...

No longer than 15mins at a guess. The receipt was nearly 1m long. With hindsight, I could have saved some time if I'd prepared by opening and scratching off the silver panels beforehand. I went in not long before closing on a Saturday hoping that it would be 'quiet' but no idea, nor a lot of...
