    Using Complimentary Lounge Passes internationally

    Timely info as I crash back to Silver again in a few days...will be relying on passes for next trip. Last time I used them they were cardboard and you could just whip one out if you felt like it, but if plane was late etc you could save it for another time.

    I'm on a watchlist...

    Did actually happen to my sister in the USA, not on Qantas flying in but AA DOM flights in the US, as a Platinum she got it fixed after a couple of flights...probably the accent helped, and that she wasnt black like the other person... The other person was turfed off a plane and was on their NO...

    Public Transport to our airports - what's cheapest?

    Has anything a government promises ever happened on time and on budget. Still it looks like a bargain compared to the Metro...or the Olympics.

    Christmas in nth Queensland

    Last year it was only Maccas and KFC etc opened... IGA type stores opened. The penalty rates are more damaging sit down and be waited on type restaurants. The few places that did open had to charge a lot, I think $150 for Xmas lunch with soft drink only was one of the cheaper prices I heard. It...

    Christmas in nth Queensland

    It might not be hot...it could be pouring rain or have a cyclone... Yes, there will be stingers, and crocs as well in the ocean. But far more dangerous are the local underage car thieves, hopefully some new laws may have culled the 3rd menace by then. Wherever you stay be prepared to self...

    Up down and around a bit in South West W.A

    It was quite plain, cream coloured and just a little Sandman lettering on the guards, no LSD paint schemes, shag pile carpet or lava lamps.

    Up down and around a bit in South West W.A

    We had the old HQ Kingswood Station Wagon, if more people than seats there was always a fight to be in the back with no seatbelt. Then Dad got a HX Sandman 308 V8 Panel Van, it had air con and a cassette player!! He put extra seats with seatbelts in the back for me and my sister. We saw...

    Up down and around a bit in South West W.A

    A good report bringing back memories of many trips to (not all but most) these places when I was a kid in WA. The old Whaling Station used to really pong back in the 80's... Good to see you taking the Holden for a spin as well. People forget we used to get to these places by Kingswoods and...

    What was your most memorable in-flight meal?

    I have done that, but my trips are usually a month or so and I eat them too quick. A few tours I have been on someone will always have a toothpaste tube of vegemite to borrow a bit. I hear other people say that they had some and it was confiscated by customs a lot as well. You cant even get...

    Uluru and Kings Canyon - best options for 3 nights

    Last visited in 2018 just before they shut the climb. There was only 1 Shell servo at Yulara...price would be around $2.80 litre I'd think now. Ayres Rock is 25km away from resort, Olgas is 50km. So its very easy to use up your km allowance. I had my own car and camped in my tent, $50 a night...

    2024 F1 Thread

    An up and down weekend for most teams between the races and qualis. Pretty much the same guys hit the wall in quali and the race. PER misses his box by a metre 5 sec penalty, NOR and others chuck a whole extra lap and get a fine of a few bucks??? Mercedes caught on film breaching the tyre...

    This race director seems to be making it up as he goes along... It's a Red Flag or its NOT. VER will probably start better than 17th anyway as some of those smashed cars wont be on the grid. I didnt hear the commentators mention the water in tyres thing, LEC's swearing or VER community service...

    Hertz Pick Up at LHR - Beware [Forced an Unsuitable Vehicle for Planned travel]

    I've used them before with no dramas...but not since EV's got popular. Just dont want to waste holiday charging a golf cart...its bad enough driving in UK on their miserable excuse for roads.
