    So, about this "wider acceptance" thing...

    Of course, and I do take my business elsewhere unless the shop is really conveniently located, in which case, i just switch to Visa. This is not the conundrum. My issue is AMEX justified their deval by cutting merchant fees, potentially to Visa/MC levels, and thereby making shops more welcoming...

    So, about this "wider acceptance" thing...

    AMEX justified the last round of deval by implying they are cutting merchant fees to gain better acceptance in Aus. Has there been any updates on this front? Purely from personal experience, most of the shops I frequent, especially restaurants, are charging the same premium for AMEX over...

    B738 'pickle fork' crack sees aircraft withdrawn

    They inspected 33 planes so far, so that's 12% of the inspected. That being said, the other 42 lower cycle ones are less likely to have cracks.

    Discussion/Q&A on Best QF Status Run Options

    Any good MH runs from Bali/DPS? QF’s got some great fares to DPS, albeit in their 737. At least theres no backtracking and plenty of frequencies on MH

    Qantas A380 refurbishment news and updates

    Pretty sure the 1-2-1 configuration is more dense due to the staggered layout and hence more seats per floorspace than the 2-2-2 - at least everyone has direct aisle access...

I guess setting it to "top-up"every fortnight would reduce the advance payments to 2 weeks max, but its still not ideal to have...
