we have much to live up to with our respective August trips :)

Here's link to our trip to both Raro and Aitutaki 15 years ago (wow, how time flies). We also visited Aitutaki again on The World on our Pacific cruise. Raro is the one place I said after visiting I want to retire here. Aitutaki lagoon is so beautiful you can do at least two day cruises and...

Amex used to offer exact same pricing as QF. I think it was at the end of last year that it changed. I haven't used my credit this year but will bite the bullet and buy some way more expensive than Qantas fare just to use it, then cancel the card.

I've requested many times and not had auto approval but recurved it in the week leading up to the flight (Dom). Off topic. Just received the bid now email for our flights to JNB next week. We've bitten the bullet and traveling Y but option to upgrade to both Y+ and J keep tempting me (classic...

Great trip report John. Thank you. Outback Spirit was shadowing us last year up in the Kimberley. Def a bit out of our budget!

Thanks so much for the info avstand. ATMs with our debit cards it is. I bit the bullet and went and bought mixed denomination USD during the week. We need some for a tour in Livingstone that is cash only, plus for our border crossing into Zimbabwe. We can exchange along the way when needed...

We still talk about the museum in Cooktown. It has an amazing collection.

and we're staying here as well in a couple of weeks on our way to Livingstone

That's great info. Thankyou

Unless something costs more to me to buy to get points than it would without sure there is a cost. If the price is the same, then to me they are free. If I'm flying somewhere on a QF flight as a QF WP and the person beside me isn't a member of QFF, and we've paid exactly the same amount for the...

Thanks AIRwin. Seemed an odd statement. Maybe it was specific to Zimbabwe but it was in the general information where it suggests taking sufficient cash for the whole trip.

We're off to Southern Africa in three weeks and have just received our pre-tour info. In amongst it is a statement that says you can't use an international debit card to withdraw cash, anywhere. It mentions you can withdraw from Visa and Mastercard credit cards. Maybe it's just poorly worded...

You've got the meaning of woke all wrong drron. Doing what you did is what woke actually means - having a social concience, being aware. The loony fundamentalist/pentecostal religious right/Fox News/Murdoch media has turned the word into something else and it's those people who would point the...

I love my ex-747 trolley. It's full of gin and the glasses to drink it

No, unless it is under specific conditions such as requal (as others have said). What I do wish QF would introduce is family pooling. bAlt and I always travel together and it would be nice to pool the scs we earn flying together.

We're off at a similar time to kpc. We're travelling from Vic Falls to Capetown with World Expeditions. They use Kiboko Adventures and it's their TransKalahari Adventure Southbound.

No, not at all. As I get closer to LTG we're booking me in paid J to get me closer, status runs to NZ are our thing at the moment. We've flown BA, QF and NZ J and yes they are nice, but we can stay in really nice hotels, or ok hotels in great locations, with the money we save not flying J...

Thanks for a great report RooF. We loved driving around Hokkaido. Such a beautiful place and so easy to get around. See you up here in October.

Brilliant tr rbj. Loved every moment of it. Fantastic pictures. Great descriptions. I wonder if I can ever get mine down to as few words as you? Yeh, nah :)

I can still see that unwanted apostrophe.
