Booked a couple of flights (points)10 days ago to Europe with SIA for April next. Could not do it on the Web so rang. I was advised that the return flight from SIN to BNE would be waitlisted as they were not scheduling flights to BNE at this time. I accepted this because I am reasonably...

Enjoyed your report Henrus. Often travel out west to to Tambo but on Friday have to fly to Blackall to pick up a station vehicle to bring back to the Gold Coast. Blackall is 200 odd k's short of Longreach and the Qantas fare was $427 one way. Considered points but the ask was out of the question.

It seems as they are with the Dictator/Queen of Queensland.

80% would seem to be unachievable if you consider that there is no vaccine for children under 12 who appear to make up nearly 15% of the total population.

I Wonder If...... When travel Internationally becomes freely available will Airlines increase redemption value. I think that many are still accumulating points and will be desperate for overseas travel. It will then become a supply and demand position. I am synical enough to assume that...

Possibly Qld polies don't deserve J .

Cab be Flashback but the bigger problem the unreliability of snow (except this year when they had huge amounts and no skiers ). But we must take the grand children so we have to go in their school holidays if possible.

Obviously cancelled International trips booked for this year but to feed our addiction have had several interstate trips squeesed in around lock outs wondering if we would end up in quarantine. Don't think there will be much opportunity for overseas for the rest of this year even though Qantas...

HI Perth Paul. After a ski accident, when I thought I was 18 again, a couple of years ago and breaking numerous parts of my tired old body I required disabled assistance on several flights. I found airlines to offer exceptional service. Wheelchairs, luggage assistance, priority at customs...

Being somewhat pragmatic, and at my age tending to be a bit of a Luddite, it occurs to me that the more ways to read, and listen, to the news may have problems. In an effort to attract viewers and listeners headlines using adjectives such as shocking, amazing, unbelievable and etc are becoming...

Perhaps this should of been posted in "A little bit of humour"

As a non user of Social Media (apart from AFF of course )I do not understand what today's fuss re Facebook is all about. Facebook have made a commercial decision, as is their right. I cannot figure out why you need to read news and etc via Facebook when there numerous web sites apps and so on...

........when you ignore the covid event and continually keep booking and cancelling flights.

We're open- We're Shut- We're open - We're shut - We're open - We're - shut - We're open - We're...Bugger it ! who knows !

Before I was tired and old I drove an HSV Grange, 6.2 V8. Great car on the highway but diabolically dangerous on narrow country roads. Sold it and bought an "old man" Lexus. Most HSV models seem to becoming collector cars but the grange version is seems to be bottom of the list and still...

I think it will be some time before electric cars will be practical, particularly in Australia. The quoted range is established on a flat road with no headwind at 90 kph. It is not commonly discussed but from my research it seems that using the heater/airconditiong reduces the range by up to...

3 Cars and 1 Motor Scooter. BM 1 series Coupe, Lexus RX, Toyota Echo and a Honda 125 Scooter. Mrs TOF drives the BM and loves it. I drive the Lexus and love it. The Toyota is for our business and the girls love it. The scooter is for heavy traffic days. All over 10 years old (Scooter 20 !). All...

Interesting and in some ways understandable. But I have a question - has anyone done a comparison re reward flights? Domestic and or International.

Will I Vaccinate: YES YES YES Anything to travel OS again.

Cancelled January European Ski Trip. Holding a booking for March and will wait untill I can cancel penalty free. Best European snow fall for years - Shame ! Holding millions of points and concerned I will not live long enough to use them and you know what they say : "Travel 1st class because...
