    Double Tree Cairns - Chopper Crashed into Roof

    Of course it's open again prior to my arrival. Staying at the Novotel Oasis instead. Not too bothered as the kids will enjoy the pool more

    Double Tree Cairns - Chopper Crashed into Roof

    Nah, When clicking the link it ((See other offers) ) it is just the Qantas Hotels website with the dates pre-filled and now I look a limit of $313 per night. Just clicked on an option for Fitzroy Island Resort - and it's looking like a a normal booking that I have to make again and pay up front...

    Double Tree Cairns - Chopper Crashed into Roof

    The link was just to the Qantas hotels website with the dates prefilled, so not very useful.

    Diamond HH lapsed earlier this year, and got a good deal through Qantas Hotels. Email received from them earlier today: We wanted to contact you with some important information regarding your upcoming stay at DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Cairns. DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Cairns have...

    Double Tree Cairns - Chopper Crashed into Roof

    Mildly frustrating as I was booked to stay there this weekend. Now for the fun part of trying to find a comparable hotel for 2 adults and 2 children at short notice

    JQ OLCI (MEL-DPS) Works [Avoid < 3 hour hassle if not checking luggage]

    Flew on JQ to Singapore late last year. Online check in, boarding pass in the Apple wallet. Hand luggage only, and nil issues going through at all. Enjoy the extra lounge time.

    For the Frequent Flyer Health Professionals

    Came across this on my morning scroll of the well known medical journal of Twitter and thought some here may find it useful. In-flight medical emergencies — ICU One Pager I'm a big fan of the one pagers as I'm lazy. I also really like the reference lists they include on the websites.

    Changi airport to hotel with toddler. Transportation options?

    I would say it depends on how old they are and how long was the flight. Short trip you could probably wait a bit for a grab with the kids keeping it together. Long haul, would rather minimise the waiting and get straight to the destination. Do they need car seats or not? The experience...

    How do Hilton treat you as an Elite?

    Just stayed at the Hilton in Perth. $10 extra to eat breakfast in the restaurant regardless. Free to eat in the lounge (as a diamond). Nothing said until checkout. Most expensive bowl of baked beans I've paid for (the only reason why I wanted to eat in the restaurant)

    Qantas Seats infant in lap and toddler

    I would want a bassinet seat - 23DEFG or 45DEFG. 11mo may be too big for the bassinet, but the extra room in front of the seat on the ground is very helpful to put bags and easily switch out activities for the kids to play with.

    Best seats on the Jetstar A321neo

    Just flew on the this type for the first time the other day. Not much in the way of width, so I would suggest 28B or E as you could 'spill' over to the vacant spot next to you.

    Qantas club membership expired but still showing as active

    Interesting experience with my mother in law QC expired in December 2022 - clearly shows this on her digital and physical card. However, it still shows QC on her digital card (despite the date of expiry) and also showed on her boarding pass. Scanned boarding pass and nil issues with entry to the...

    Changi airport to hotel with toddler. Transportation options?

    MRT is the train. Expo is the next stop and the hotel looks to be across the road. If you have too much luggage to take on a train one stop and a short walk, then you'll have too much luggage for a grab. Another option is to book a private car to collect you. Last time I did this, I used...

    Changi airport to hotel with toddler. Transportation options?

    I would just catch the MRT to Expo and walk from there. Would probably be quicker then organising a Grab family and waiting for the pickup. In my experience, the 'car seat's' are just the mifold which I wouldn't feel super comfortable with for a 16month old.

    Vaccine Rollout in Australia - personal accounts.

    Some more personal accounts (topical for the above conversations). My health service has been giving the vaccine since day 1, and I've only ever seen one actual anaphylaxis. This person had anaphylaxis to the first Pfizer dose, so was referred to the ID/Immunology clinic at my health service...

    Vaccine Rollout in Australia - personal accounts.

    Forgot to mention, the following morning after the second dose I got an email from myGov saying my COVID-19 immunisation status has updated. Logged in and first option is to download immunisation history and this is what is shows:

    Vaccine Rollout in Australia - personal accounts.

    Second dose completed of the Pfizer. Was on holidays at the 21 day mark, so second dose was on day 27 at around 0900 in the morning. Dead arm as usual later that afternoon. A colleague of mine called in sick for a night shift, so I covered that and worked through it without any problems...

    Virgin Australia Business Class - Meals, Menus & Service

    Flew BNE-MEL on Sunday. For a vegan option, the halloumi was removed from the quinoa salad. Not all bad, and certainly better than anything VGML we have experienced on VA before. (Excuse the feet on the bulkhead, wife was feeding an infant at the time of photo).

    Qantas Status Hold (Parental Leave)

    It is quite confusing. 6 month paid parental leave letter is the minimum requirement for Qantas, and supposed to get up to 18months extension Firstly she got an extension for 2 years (2018-2020). Then somehow has gained another 2 years (2020-2022) without losing any status credits (in fact...
