    Anyone heard that Qantas are replacing check-in with self check?

    Anyone heard that Qantas are replacing check-in with self check?

    What's your prediction on the Australian Dollar?

    Perhaps Parliament needs to tell the RBA that the effects of home mortgage rates needs to be taken into account in considering the sources of inflation? And lower AU$$ rates means that it is more expensive to buy imported goods. Or is that thinking too much wandering Fred

    International arrival experience PER T3?

    AFAIK there is a free bus from the Redcliffe train station to T3/4. Which is likely more convenient than the long walk (elevated and covered) from the Airport train station to the international terminal. Will still be awhile before I see either in my wandering Fred
