re: ( Now gone) "how do I book a J any seat award at classic award points level" thread. While acknowledging that I've never done it - only read about it - I don't believe that is the case based on what is posted in...

re: ( Now gone) "how do I book a J any seat award at classic award points level" thread. As another alternative, you could book the second seat as a JASA and then ring to request a cash upgrade to F combined with a WP classic award F seat release to make it cheap? I've never done it, but...

I received a copy of the latest issue a few days ago despite cancelling my Plat Charge a month or two back :-)

Perhaps true super-glue :mrgreen: I've always just started with the smallest and kept going larger until I find a size that is both comfortable and secure. For me that tends to be the "medium" size (the couple of sets of in-ear headphones I've owned have come with three sizes). No idea if...

I guess this sort of thing will always be YMMV, but I really can't understand your logic in thinking the CBG would be a card anyone would want to retire. It is (was?) the only non-direct-sweep QF Visa/Master card left (that I know of), so you have flexibility between QF / SQ / VA redemptions...

See, RMs are good - same as my experience, lots of free (and un-asked-for) points :)

No worries - good luck. I'm led to believe that in-ear headphones as a general rule provide better sound quality than other styles of headphones for the same dollars, but my ears are nowhere near good enough to verify this Interested to hear that, because again it's not a complaint I've...

Thanks. No, just the "lazy" category this time :-) And that is exactly my point! "YMMV" :-)

Re: What's your prediction on the Australian Dollar? Probably about as many as have failed to be competitive and gone bust under the current regime, which is structurally similar (in fact worse, due to anti-competitive practices) for most of the smaller players who buy wholesale ADSL access...

Now that is strange... I don't think I've ever heard of someone having problems with them falling out, only complaints about them being uncomfortable. You really must have weird ears ;) I reckon you'll like them then. Yep, all the good ones come with a range of sizes for the outer "plug"...

A free "community" membership? Or one of the premium levels? Still YMMV IMHO - especially if you're time poor. As I mentioned above, I've used a points booking service a couple of times before. The first time was for both searching and booking my first-ever USDM redemption - while I could no...

Fair enough - as I said, they're definitely not for everyone. Seem to be a "love them or hate them" kind of product. Out of interest, what didn't you like about them? In that case, as per my earlier post, suggest finding a pair you can borrow temporarily and try them out :) As long as you...

Whether it's a "worthwhile investment" or not really depends upon whether a points booking service will manage to achieve a better outcome (route, schedule, airline, whatever) than you would achieve on your own, and how long it will take you to find and book the itinerary on your own vs how you...

To throw a little bit of a spanner in the works... have you all tried, or at least considered, a set of in-ear headphones (i.e. the ones which go right inside your ear canal, like an earplug) as an alternative to "regular" noise cancelling headphones? Some people find them uncomfortable, but if...

I've got my flight booked for August... dammit, wish it was in 3 weeks :-)

Are you sure the max lend was reduced by exactly the credit limit? That would be very, very unusual. For secured lending, typically the total amount of other outstanding debts is not of big concern to lenders. What they're much more interested in is serviceability - the free cash flow you have...

Clearly we disagree, but I still can't see the logic in your position here. What are T&Cs for, if not to define what is and is not allowed - be it for a credit card, a restaurant buffet, or anything else? That's why they exist. In your example, how is the 250kg guy meant to know that he's...

It most certainly is :-) Fair enough. I'd love to be offer to help with getting access to more GDSes, but this is way outside my area of expertise unfortunately. I hope you are successful though - thanks again!

My MP Gold tags (which I assume are physically the same) didn't make it to the end of their first O/S trip - the braided wire used to attach them to the bag did, but the tag itself disappeared somewhere between Sydney and Macau.

I didn't put two and two together when you posted your name earlier - welcome to AFF, and great to see you here :) Your app is extremely useful, thanks for creating it! Hopefully medhead can provide his Virgin Australia PNR which wasn't working, as I don't have any booked VA flights coming up...
