    So the points & nights were credited one month after the stay. The points were approx half the earn rate from hotels for me.

    hmm. 4th payment last week but no points yet. Was there a specific contact at Optus to ask or just general customer (non) service?

    Airport bag handling video

    Is it just me... Or perhaps they were making a tik tok on the redbull effect on baggage handlers? Super strength? Redbull gives your bags wings? Tik tok usually brings out the best behavior in people.

    You are paying a premium for the points and nights. I did have to submit my id (passport) about a week before arrival

    Homes & Villas Experiences

    I recently used the Homes & Villas option in AKL. Bonvoy's AirBnB offering. I had 1bd unit in Wakefield street. Very comfortable and I wanted a kitchen for this trip. I thought I'd try it out for the points & night credits. Pros: Great range of properties. Points & nights on your bonvoy...

    QF cough about cabin bags

    I've seen so many row 4 clowns trying to push (hard) an expanded bag wheeled bag into overhead storage. I want to see them be asked to check in the bag as I'm waiting behind them. Then there is the person who asks for help for their bag and when I do, I comment on the 6 bricks they have packed...

    What's your Uber experience?

    MIght be for next time. I've seen massive surge pricing at the BNE international airport in the last few months. Like double the price. Talking to a uber driver, he says it is used to get cars to the airport but resets after 5 mins.

    What's your Uber experience?

    For the 3rd time in recent weeks, early morning flight booked a 5a pickup on the app. At 4:45a no one allocated. It is becoming a pain. Its a $70 fare too. Cancelled the booking and picked a new booking. Car that is 20 mins away. I don't think it is worth pre-booking ATM

    Virgin Australia Discover Gold (Status Match)

    I hope they start looking at more than 2 rows of business soon. I'm actually enjoying the Economy-X seats. And not rushing to the beginning of the priority line to get overhead space for the bag.

    I actually think I'll have 400SC before the years end... I think that dyed in the wool QF peeps are looking to change for various reasons, and this is cheap marketing. QF service, price, network & timings aren't retaining customers. Personally, I've looking to utilise SQ more and this was my...

    Slightly off topic, with the new SQ rule about guests needing to be on the same flight, does that apply to VA Gold member and their guest who may be on a different VA or SQ flight? Does the guest policy follow the VA rules or the SQ rules in this instance?

    SQ KrisFlyer lounge BNE

    I was talking to the kitchen staff the other week. He has been taking the fresh croissants that weren't eaten in the mornings and makes bread & butter pudding with them for the evenings. Delish. While it is a sparkling wine, Mumm is making it with NZ grapes. Not a bad. I tried several glasses...
