    Virgin Business Flyer - Discounts on partners

    Got an email yesterday form Virgin business flyer about booking with partners, Qatar and United. Also earning Business Rewards points on QR, SQ and United. Looks like the flight needs a VA flight number. Edit: website link: Make overseas work trips wonderful Conditions

    Is Citi Plus still the best option for overseas cash?

    lol Yeah, actually I was not saying NAB tool over the rate. I missed a comma: Hope that clarifies, sorry for the confusion. I clearly stated that the inaccuracy in my calculations would be mostly due to variations in the sample rate I've chosen and the time of the actual rate used. I also...

    Virgin Australia ‘Platinum’ customer slams airline on TikTok

    What you'll find I said is that someone in their home city does not need a hotel. You said the taxi was $100 each way. Now that story has changed? Who cares? Well getting the details correct is very important to people trying to draw valid conclusions about the information provided. I did not...

    Well yes, of course there is a U in QANTAS. The first letter stands for Queensland. ;)

    Virgin Australia ‘Platinum’ customer slams airline on TikTok

    Well, then claim the costs back. I really don't understand what you're trying to say that's relevant to the topic of a lawyer who falsely claims the contract conditions don't exist. It was very clear to me that my recent VA flight change by 5 hours meant it was entirely possible for me to claim...

    Virgin Australia ‘Platinum’ customer slams airline on TikTok

    Allegedly you're experienced traveller. No, you dont pay for a taxi, VA gives you two taxi vouchers. Or you take the $200 for a hotel and use that money to pay for your taxi. Interesting factoid, not sure why you'd want to make it so hard. $100 taxi fare? You're not really living in Brisbane...

    Virgin Australia ‘Platinum’ customer slams airline on TikTok

    So I just watched the tikitok via the News corp story. The hotel was in the middle of nowhere? Well MEL is in the middle of nowhere, so was it the holiday inn at MEL? He said the hotel was run by "monkeys", racist much? Signs off with "follow me for more legal tiktok". Yeah a lawyer who...

    Virgin Australia ‘Platinum’ customer slams airline on TikTok

    Aside from a lawyer not reading the contract there is also the lawyer not reading the compensation policy. I'm a bit confused by the OP saying it was SYD-MEL. In which case, a hotel might be irrelevant since I'd expect a Sydney based lawyer could just go home for the over night. But another...

    Today's Learnings (MH Flexible Earn on QF & Combined Classic Reward Bookings)

    I think that's my point, the earning was pretty ok initially. Then it reduced for "the kangaroo route" at about the same time as the EK partnership on "the kangaroo route". I agree 100% the cuts for MH was all about the EK partnership, or maybe that should be my opinion. Moving I and Z in 2022...

    Today's Learnings (MH Flexible Earn on QF & Combined Classic Reward Bookings)

    The thread highlights a couple of things. 1. Personally, I will almost never book a return domestic flight. There's almost no need to do so since they removed things like stay Saturday night discounts. etc. 2. The MH earning was gutted around about simpler and fairer and when EK came on board...

    What cheeses me off

    Yeah, I actually scored the makings for nitro glycine from chemistry class at school. After some research, decided against trying to make something that is extremely temperature and humidity sensitive in a Queensland backyard. Had a mate who scored a cube of sodium - he has the scars to prove...

    pph is %, for anyone who understands... In any case, it's a ratio - meaning there are no units. or perhaps the units are irrelvant. it's a ratio. mumble mumble - moles/L

    What cheeses me off

    I reckon it's probably the other way around. Gold FM rely on BOM or maritime weather forecasts for their news reporting hey? This is a percentage concentration in solution. Nothing to do with SI units. Not sure of your specific example; but 5 ml of liquid (e.g. water) has a weight of 5 grams or...

    Is Citi Plus still the best option for overseas cash?

    The same for me, heading off in 11 days or so, UK and Europe. The death of my USD citibank account is really annoying as my per diem for a few days is in USD. The way rates are going I think I want to be paid in USD not AUD

    Is Citi Plus still the best option for overseas cash?

    Interesting thread. The Citibank Plus account isn't dead, you know. They are only closing the foreign currency accounts. While that is super annoying. The AUD citibank plus product will remain open. I noticed the discussion about rates etc. I have a feeling that since NAB took over the rate...

    The USA doesn't measure in imperial. They use washing machines, american alligators and, well, I've seen one meme that suggests measurement of length using that thing that hangs from males. Imagine a timber beam 242 D!#%$ long... I did wonder how they calibrated...

    Japan - VA or QF, or JQ

    Row 3 has noticeably more legroom than rows 4 or 5. I reckon they could almost take 2 inches (maybe 3) from row 3 without having to change much at all. That's not the full 6 inches required for your suggestion, acknowledged I guess the limitation is the guide things where the seats are...

    A variation of this when looking at hotels in Paris. Pictures show bedding - sheets and such. Description says bedding not included.
