I posted too soon. One arrived in the post later yesterday. I was annoyed to find I couldn't activate it online as I have no mobile phone number. At least there was a 'by telephone' alternative with the usual lenthy tlephone tree to negotiate.

I do use Qantas Cash when overseas, so I shall need a new card when mine expires at the end of November. Are new cards sent out automatically, and - if so - how near the end of the expiry month?

I agree, Pushka. I'm only 5ft 1" and need my bag as a footrest. And I need my screen within easy reach. On the one occasion when I was offered a bulkhead seat on a plane - an attempted "op-up" perhaps because a previous delayed flight had made me miss my booked connection - I refused it, and a...

For several consecutive years I had to fly to the UK on Christmas Day. Originally with Qantas but hated their silly Santa Claus hats and relentless "Ho!, ho! ho!". Then on two successive flights they assumed I was with the person sitting next to me and and asked that person what I would like to...

Can't check-in online if one segement is walitlisted: is that really the case? I've received multiple e-mail reminders to check online in for my SQ 208 + SQ 392 flights tomorrow, but can't get it to work, whether I enter the booking referencr or the e-ticket number. When I phoned I was told I...

Received e-mail reminder to check in for my SQ 208 flight on Sunday, but cna't get it to work, whether I enter the booking referencr or the e-ticket number. KF (Sydney) phone engaged. Anyone else having this problem. I suppose I must simply wait and try again later. ETA tried the phone again...

I have a transit in Athens and am not sure how to handle it or which lounges to look at, if any.. Coming in from Georgia on a very early morning Aegean flight - so that's non-Schengen to Schengen.. Departing from Athens to Bordeaux on another Aegean flight, same PNR - so that's Schengen to...

Interesting responses. Qantas Money say there is no problem with my card or my account. My attempted use of my card didn't show up on their system. All they can suggest is that there must have been some glitch in Aegean Air's card processing system at the time. Not much help, really. But it...

Earler this month I loaded euros onto my Qantas Cash card in anticipation of a trip to France. (Happened to catch an $AU:Euro exchange rate better than it is currently.) But I tried to use it today to pay for a minor upgrade on an existing Aegean Air booking and it was not accepted, even though...

I have read that powders are now being scrutinized more closely at US airports. I wonder how widely this powder rule is being applied. My doctor has recommended a daily supplement that comes in powder form; not a prescription item, just on the shelf in the pharmac_ stuff. I'm not travelling into...

Interesting new one from HM Revenue & Customs asking me to clear a debt of some £23,000+. Was tempted to find out more, but then discretion prevailed.

Has anyone ever tried to use a doctor's letter to support a waitlisted award upgrade? I've been on the waitlist since last October for an award upgrade from Economy to Business on a SIN to IST SQ flight in about a month's time. Thr rest of my booking is in PE but there's no PE on the that...

Many thanks, Pushka and Flying Mermaid, for the help and sympathy. I'll see how much it bothers me this coming winter. I'm not aware of any other potentially auto-immune symptoms. Coincidentally, I had to locate a new GP only yesterday (first time I've needed a GP in 12 years!) about an...

I am a long-term sufferer from Rayanaulds, but was totally unaware of any medication for it. Can you tell me more? I asked a GP about it a few years back, and she just said "warm your hands gradually in a basin of warm but not hot water"! Now how can I do that when I go shopping on my bike or...

I'm trying to compare PHI policies with "no pregnancy" cover. Seems hard to search for. So far I've identified GMHBA Gold Hospital level 2, Australian Unity Classic, Phoenix Top Hospital Essentials (new, not yet on their website): all via the Membersown.com.au website for non-profit funds. Are...

I have also ordered a pair of these, but hadn't thought of claiming, so I too would be interested to know whcih health fund. I'm actually just in the process of changing funds: do you think a claim could wait until I actually receive them?

Things I like about being retired (and living alone): not being accountable getting up at whatever time I feel like going to bed in the afternoon with a new book and continuing to read until I've finished it giving up one of two French conversation classes because it involved too much homework...

Now I'm realizing how very sensible I was to take into my own custody those two working pedestal fans that people in neighbouring flats had put out for hard rubbish collection when they installed air-conditioning.

I've read that Momondo allows you to select a region or a whole country as your destination, but I haven't used that tool myself. I think you can also use it to look at fares across several dates, and compare the cheapest with the fastest.

Personally, I'd go for the SQ direct flight from BNE. No worries then about either you or your bags connecting in Sydney.
