Yeah, this is my problem now. Booked for June, but still very apprehensive that something will occur to prevent it. 3 years of imprisonment is getting to me, as I used to take 1 or 2 trips every year. I've decided to have as much fun and travelling as I can while freedom lasts, now that I know...

Apart from AIRwin's information above, if you are arriving and leaving from the same terminal, your arrival boarding pass should get you lounge access, at least in my experience.

Pretty much any cc will charge ruinous fees and/or ruinous exchange rates. Find the best, but pay very close attention to the exchange rates. These can be 3 or 4% less than the published rates. Foreign exchange companies are best for large transactions. Typically I get a rate at about 1% less...

You have to to their website and go to manage your booking with your booking reference and name. I can't recall when you can do it, but it must by at least 2 days before travel iirc.

If it's a separate ticket (I assume, I know it's ambiguous if on the same booking) then you should qualify for chauffeur services at both ends.

Emirates only provides a chauffeur service for 'fully paid business and first class tickets'. Although some understood that to be only full price tickets, it actually means only tickets paid for with money as opposed to with rewards miles. So if you booked, or paid for an upgrade, with miles...

People are mentioning the same 'ticket', but in my experience, it's fine if it's on the same 'booking'. This remains true even if the two airlines are not the same, in fact, as long as they are in the same alliance (typically required for a single booking, but not always - I've had VA...

It's not really that much. It's basically $10. Woollies did the same, but you got 10% off for the 1st year (for me $90) and you get 10% off one shop a month, up to $50 a month. I've tried to get as much dry goods as possible in one shop, but $400 was the most so far :)

Jeez, yet another thread about something I'm partial to. Champagne us a strange beast. I don't like Chardonnay. I generally avoid 'blanc de blanc' (ie Chardonnay) champagne. I definitely prefer Pinot Noir, as the 2nd most used grape in champagne. For anyone who find the acidity in champagnes...

I didn't have time to read all comments, but my 2c: Johnnie Walker XR, as a 21 yr old blended whisky is my favourite for expensive tastes and image. It's good value, and impresses. Maybe $160 or 170 at Dan Murphy. For more discerning palates, or perhaps snobs, a single malt may be preferred...

Arrived back in April. There were no problems.

Because my wife, from whom I am separated (we can't have a relationship, nor can we get a divorce because she is not capable), wants to live here in our existing home. Our children are adults, so I have no actual dependents here. I also have a hefty (very low rate) mortgage on the house, which...

A Any income derived in Australia has to pay tax anyway. The rates for non-doms is also quite punitive, and you have no tax-free allowance either.

I saw this, but it's paywalled so couldn't read it. I tried to find details on the web, but they're are none that I can find. If implemented, this would make it hellish for me. I have kids here and want to spend at least 3 months a year here, and still keep my house for my disabled wife to...

Yes, AUD cents per litre

I definitely could. Flying to Norfolk Island on the 20th of March. It's not 'international' but they fly from the international terminal (Brisbane). Are they valid for that? Zig 1612862145 My bad, I think I'm flying with air new Zealand :(
