Re: Qatar - would this not lead to massive issues for OneWorld membership though? I imagine if QR bought them they’d want to allow their other OW airlines connecting flights with VA, which would essentially mean there was only one alliance in Australia. I’m not sure how the ACCC or other...

Lunching. Hoping to do other tastings on Wednesday afternoon and all day Friday. I think we’re heading to Hobbs on Friday as a colleague joining me for lunch knows the owner there.

Haven't read every page of this thread, any word on when they expect to start flying them commercially? I suspect my flights next week will be too soon, but wondering when I can expect to board the new aircraft.

I had similar last year when I arrived to MEL for a work trip to AKL, and took up the offer. Was a nice break between my breakfast and lunch :p

I'll be in the Barossa next Wednesday - Saturday, Rockford on Thursday. Anyone else going to be around?

I will also be completing the set this July, but truth be told I haven't been buying much whisky lately. I'm sure saying you can have too much to you doesn't hold much weight, but I have too much not opened to keep buying.

So, who's going to order this bottle tomorrow, perhaps @NM? Bargain price! https://thewhiskyclub.com.au/our-whiskies/loch-lomond-54-year-old

Thank you for the sage advice. I just added that all up and it's $1200, but I figure I wont get everything, and if I do it's an investment like everything else in my cellar.

So, I signed up 2 years ago, if that's what you call it, and received a latter back then, and last year a letter to say I couldn't order etc, but just today I have received my first order form. Where are these crayon marks meant to be that everyone talks about? I recall the first few posts of...

Couldn't keep the plastic card in your board shorts? I could perhaps understand if you had speedos on ;)

I'm sure I've travelled BA Euro Business back in the past where one direction of a return can be very low in J. Not as low as that, but not much more than double that. I'm not going to try and find receipts, but I know I thought it was a steal at the time, even if BA "dom J" can be a bit lacklustre.

I'm booked back into Rockford next January 11th again, friends birthday. But looking forward to hearing more about the cruise. Sounds fabulous!

Seeing as a few are mentioning upcoming Vintec purchases on here, I have been meaning to sell the fridge I used for about a year before I built a proper cellar room. It's a Vintec VWM148SBA-R. It has been turned off for a while now, as I've been too lazy to list it online, but is in good...

I had meant to ask about it but hadn't seen it mentioned anywhere, what does that set you back?

May brings some new vintages to the store. My CC got a workout this evening. Eden Valley Riesling 2022, Frugal Farmer 2022, Moppa Springs 2020 and for those lucky enough the Dry Country 2018 and Shiraz VP 2018.

I don't have the answer, but recall they put a number on lifetime, so they'd likely look at that to work out what pro-rata would be. That said, QC used to be far cheaper than it is now, so you're likely only looking at a small amount to come back.

By the time the email hit my inbox, NSW was already sold out, I assumed it must have gone to Centurion first. Besides the location and time of the week it was on, the price didn't look that enticing.

I got my pro-rata refund in the last few years. I likewise achieved LTG just prior to the pandemic, so decided to claim what little was left back. I can't recall the exact process, but they just needed me to write it out in a stat dec and then get it witnessed and send that in.

With no curfew I can't imagine it'll be long before there's significant interest. If the transport connections are operational from day one and not much longer (time-wise) than existing from SYD then I think the choice will be simple and rapid expansion will occur. I'm sure many will disagree...

Diverting from the topic, but has happened to me at Sofitel Adelaide a couple times. I no longer carry the physical card on me but do have the numbers stored and a digital version. Usually they begrudgingly accept that... and so they should. Probably a discussion for the hotel category though.
