Further to my announcement yesterday about our new Community Store, I thought I'd create a thread so our members can discuss and recommend products to be included in the store. Our community store is essentially an Australian Amazon affiliate store, so we can include any product which is...

One of the challenges I have is to ensure that AFF is adequately funded so that we can continue to provide the quality services I know you all appreciate. Services like a professionally-maintained website, daily news articles, newsletters, podcasts, flight tracking services etc. Costs keep...

My understanding (from unofficial sources) is that there is a pool of priority phone numbers that airport staff give to passengers which rotates every few weeks. I will attempt to publish the currently active number(s) in this post: 1300 304 318 1300 659 161 1300 025 396 1300 659 116 1300 024...

For anyone who might be interested, our editor and host of the AFF on AIR podcast Matt Graham, was recently a guest on the Boundless Possible podcast. In the interview he speaks about his background, AFF and using frequent flyer points. If you’d like to have a listen, here is the episode...

Yea, this is a tricky one and I (and the whole moderation team) wish there was a simple solution. While AFF is primarily about aviation and travel, we are also a community. As such, members of our community are (generally) free to discus items of interest - if they are not related to our core...

Time now to close this thread. I don't think anything new can be said about this divisive topic which has nothing to do with travel or aviation. Thanks to all contributors for keeping this discussion civil.

Apologies for the problem some of you are experiencing. support and I are investigating and will be contacting some of the posters on this thread to help us in trouble-shooting. Stay tuned...

I've just had a chat with abc journo and can vouch that it's a genuine request from our National Broadcaster. I encourage all our very frequent flyers to make contact ASAP as I believe they are looking at doing the story tomorrow. This could be your time to appear on Australia's premium News...

@JohnM Sorry to hear the problems you are having. Can you please send me an email (admin AT australianfrequentflyer.com.au) which has all the necessary details such as the date you purchased, the email address you used when purchasing etc. I'll then forward it on to my contact at NordVPN. I...

As you're probably aware we currently publish the Frequent Flyer Gazette on Mondays and Thursdays. This is in addition to our fortnightly Community News which is published on alternative Sundays, and the new "Trending Topics" email on Fridays which we were trialing. A big thanks to all members...

Thanks for the feedback and good to hear that you are generally happy with the changes :) Regarding you suggestion about displaying the number of views - the exact number of views is certainly available (as you have noted), but there are spacing issues when the number of views exceeds 1,000...

That solved my problem! Being new to VPNs, I didn't realise I could change IPs. The default UK NordVPN IP address is blocked by the BBC, but I did find an alternative which works like a charm! Thanks for you help. 🙏

Read our article which explains how you can use a VPN to access Australian websites (such as iView) which are geo-blocked so therefore not usually available to viewers overseas. And that is in addition to other benefits such as enhanced security and privacy. NordVPN have a great deal at the...

Did you know that some of the best wine deals available online is from Get Wine Direct. Over 40 million bottles of wine have been sold by this company - a pioneer in the Australian online wine industry. Check out their website for some of the best wine and wine deals available right now. (This...

Hot off the heels of my recent announcements about Sponsored Threads and our new Search Function, I'm now pleased to introduce another new feature. (Actually, this feature did exist in previous versions of AFF so its not really new!) You can now include your status with Qantas and Virgin in...

Did you know that you can now sponsor a thread on AFF to promote your (or your company's) goods and services? This thread is an example of a "Sponsored Thread". I chose to put it in the AFF Business Network forum, but you can create a sponsored thread in most AFF forums. Sponsored threads are...

As you will know our Terms of Service (TOS) specifically prohibited the posting of any commercial messages. Well today, I'm now announcing a single exception to this long-standing AFF guideline: Any AFF member now has the option to "sponsor" a thread. For a small fee (from $25) you can create a...

Award Flight Assist is a service from our sister website Frequent Flyer Solutions which helps Australians to redeem their frequent flyer points effectively for travel. Launched in September 2016, we've now helped hundreds of customers to redeem many millions of frequent flyer points! As the...

If you have used the Xenforo search (ie. the search box on the top right of all forum pages) this afternoon, you will notice we are now trialling a new search function. There are heaps of new features such as searching on short words, new search criteria, searching on images, spell checking, and...
