    Best Sim Card for Italy

    Who is your current provider in Oz? If it is Vodafone, and your trip is not too long, and you are not addicted to web surfing, etc, you may consider their $5/day roaming deal. I have gone with this option on the last few tours through Europe and is a lot easier than remembering to change SIMs...

    Is this luggage repair acceptable?

    Many thanks to all who have responded. The case owner was looking for a replacement as the case was so new and part of a set which is not available locally. The repairer advised as it was repairable, it was repaired and the warranty would be preserved as it was done by an authorised repairer...

    Is this luggage repair acceptable?

    I have not felt it. The case owner tells me it feels like a vinyl patch.

    Is this luggage repair acceptable?

    This is my first new thread , so if not where it should be, please move. I thought I might get some feedback from some other FF’s on a baggage repair issue. On return from a group holiday to Europe last month one of our regular travelling party had a suitcase damaged in transit. The airline...

    Scanning 35mm slides

    You may wish to investigate the HP range of scanners. Some of the "higher end" models come with slide scanning frames. The unit I have ( a few years old now, cost around $250.00) takes 5 slides at a time and will produce as five separate jpeg (or chosen format) images. The quality is quite good...

    Woolworths reviewing partnership with Qantas Frequent Flyer.

    I'm thinking more along the lines of bull$h1t bucks.

    EDR Targeted Bonus Point Promotions

    I had the same thing, activated the offer, went on line shopping, got to $51.42 and could not get rid of the delivery fee. Called the customer service line and was told EDR have made an error, it is for first time users, and that as I had used on line ordering before two years ago, (another...

    SQ A330 power loss in both engines [restarted] during cruise

    Re: SQ836 23 May 2015: loss of engine power above HKG I can add BA flight 38 (B777) that pancaked just short of the runway in LHR. Investigations revealed ice in the fuel/oil heat exchanger system. This A/C was also fitted with RR Trent engines. Unfortunately that did not have as happy an...

    pointless duty free

    The three bottles will put you on the 2250ml limit. It’s definitely worth a try. If you can, check the label on the neck of the bottle. It will display the alcohol percentage and the batch number. Generally around 54.1%, (108 proof) but have got as high as 54.4%, it varies as it is barrel...

    pointless duty free

    I have found perfumes/aftershaves (genuine) in the local shopping malls for considerably less than the DF stores. Granted you won’t always find those “collections in the nice box” specials in the malls, but sometimes the price difference is just too great to pass by. Link below might help some...

    Joyce: Qantas perth had to go

    But then the SIN-PER one way fare (assuming you want to come back) is around the same price. Rather more interesting is if you book it as a return using two one way bookings PER-SIN is AUD$279 + SIN-PER SGD$307 the total is approx AUD$550 + CC fine, whereas to book as a return PER-SIN-PER is...

    QP Perth epic fail tonight

    The RSA act and QF's own lounge access policy should be enforced to reduce the problem. If a strict policy of RSA, lounge dress code (as described in the QP membership terms and conditions) and ejecting yobbs was enforced along with implementing a " you have been ejected from the QP, therefore...

    9 hour layover in Singapore; Any Awesome Restaurants?

    Clarke Quay has some excellent restaurants and some great "pubs" as well. The place can get a bit crowded on a Friday night. The "Hot Stones" restaurant was great last time there. Order from the menu & self cook at your table. There is not much public transport in Singapore after midnight so be...

    QF PER-SIN cancelled, rebooked on Jetstar? Is this acceptable?

    I think you will have to BYO entertainment on 3K. Don't wait for QF to call you, as the longer you wait the less options there will be. Check the flight times of the other options listed in earlier posts, and if they suit your plans call QF as soon as you can to request changes you prefer. It...

    RED ROO, please clarify SC earning on one world flights. [booked before 29Mar]

    I still haven't got it all sorted out, but I will get there eventually! Nil barstardus carborundum! This is going to be an interesting exercise. I received the all warm & friendly fuzzy email from QFF about the changes to QFF with the paragraph: We've noticed that you have an existing booking...

    QF PER-SIN cancelled, rebooked on Jetstar? Is this acceptable?

    Re: 27th February Big Qantas announcement There is an earlier post from markis10 that has the info about being able to be rebooked on EK, you may have to read it real close, but I think it mentioned that award flights had the same options as paid fares. Therefore LHR-DXB-PER is an option. You...

    QF PER-SIN cancelled, rebooked on Jetstar? Is this acceptable?

    Hi , welcome to AFF, If you haven't already confirmed your acceptance to the change to the orange cancer, try looking at the MH/CX options. A little longer, but probably more enjoyable. Check their schedules & find the flights that suit you & ask the CSR to change your booking. Unless you have...

    Florence and where-ever.

    I took the Tirano-St Moritz & return last Easter. The snow was still around and rather pretty. On the Tirano - Chur train try to get a seat in a carriage that has the "large" slide down window openings. These may be the slightly older carriages, though still quite comfortable. The carriages...
