I opened an IG account on Wednesday this week. It made me do a 10 question quiz to test my knowledge of trading. I only got 80% in the quiz, but that was enough to pass. I transferred $450 from my credit card and that attracted a $5 fee approx. Bought shares straight away, and sold them 2 hours...

Ha ha, Yes. I posted a thread on this earlier in the year. I only ever get a rubbish sleep in J, but I still will take that any day over being in a cramped Y seat, wide awake. I take a sleeping pill too..try not drinking to much etc etc..... I have a 9.5 hr overnight booked for Colombo-Melb next...

Can you convert your Altitude or Amex points to the KrisFlyer program ? For the next day or so you can still redeem flights on AIR NZ in 2018 from Melbourne to Tahiti return in Business class for 35,000 KrisFlyer miles per person. I think the rate is jumping up a fair bit after the 8th or 10th...

Ah yeah thanks, good reminder, will select the bulkheads if they are still available on that flight. We have done the JQ business several times and all have been pretty good for the price paid. We have also been on the 380 in J on EK on the Singapore-Mel hop, and we maximised it by using an o/n...

yep, its a middle of the day easy peasy flight... best to save those points for a overnight flight where bed is needed and the cost of paid ticket is MUCH higher. Would have been nice to take the QF, but doesnt stack up, and points are hard work and time consuiming to accumulate in any mass.

yeah the taxes are huge, it's a day time flight, happy with the JQ business product...wont get the points for the paid flight x 2 pax though as they will be discount tickets.

Yeah I know they are completely different products.. However, I dont "really" need the bells and whistles of the J on QF for a 7 hr day time flight, so I think paid JQ business is best option since the taxes are so steep on the reward tix. No PE on that particular leg.

T Too hard to start up with another program!

I need to fly from Bangkok to Male (MLE) and was hoping to redeem an econ or business seat x 2 on Bangkok airways. I don't think they are a partner in my programs, is there any other way ?

Re: Flying home to Melb from Colombo all in J on Ek and still jet lagged and shattere RE your pet hate...exactly..this flight we took came home via Singapore so the Singapore leg was the overnighter...then over an hour before landing, its clashing and clanging everywhere, matresses being...

Re: Flying home to Melb from Colombo all in J on Ek and still jet lagged and shattere That is a spectacular effort.

Re: Flying home to Melb from Colombo all in J on Ek and still jet lagged and shattere Thank you, thank you, thank you. I must have got sucked into advertising that I am going to feel like Nicole Kidman having a glorious time in her suite mid air..ha ha, or that I would be able to rush off to...

Re: Flying home to Melb from Colombo all in J on Ek and still jet lagged and shattere yep, i think its back to stopovers for us again going forward.

Re: Flying home to Melb from Colombo all in J on Ek and still jet lagged and shattere Yes I think stopovers is the key. The flying J hasn't made a big difference re our jetlag, but its certainly more comfortable at the time.

Re: Flying home to Melb from Colombo all in J on Ek and still jet lagged and shattere Yeah I think it is a little age related. I will build more time into itinerary in future and stop over at every leg i think !

Re: Flying home to Melb from Colombo all in J on Ek and still jet lagged and shattere Thank you. I have never tried the Melatonin. I am glad others that have a F or J seat can still feel lousy too.

Re: Flying home to Melb from Colombo all in J on Ek and still jet lagged and shattere Thanks, I don't feel as bad now.

Re: Flying home to Melb from Colombo all in J on Ek and still jet lagged and shattere Thank you, I thought there must be something wrong with me. I'd got the comfy flight and everything, I think I will start doing to stop over thing again. We used to do that years ago when we flew economy, but...

We got home Sunday morning after 2 Weeks in Seychelles and then we broke trip home with 2 nights in Colombo. I went to work on Tuesday and then couldn't go today, I think I slept for 2 hours max. The previous two night I popped a temazapan. Whilst I was awake at 1am I am thinking this is the end...
