    Article: Airlines, Please Stop Selling Ridiculously Tight Connections

    Slightly OT but some years ago we were flying from OKA (Okinawa) to cough (Fukuoka). We arrived in ample time only to find that check-in and security were a zoo. Main problem was dozens of school kids (you know, removing batteries from their check-in bags, having stuff in their carry-on that...

    AFF Gathering #18 in MEL on 21-23 November 2025

    @AFF Editor any ideas yet as to what's happening on the Sunday? If, as some members think, QF announce a DSC offer to coincide with the financial results release tomorrow, members will be wanting to book their flights.

    Changes to NAB Rewards Signature card: No forex fees + earn rate changes

    Yes true; but for me I've never reached the $5,000 in any month since I got the card 8 months ago.

    Changes to NAB Rewards Signature card: No forex fees + earn rate changes

    Got the same email. I only got this card last year before my trip to Europe so that I could get points without paying international transaction fees. But if they think I'm going to pay an annual fee of $420 they're dreaming. So now I'll need to decide which new card to apply for and who to...

    A bit of humour

    I've loved Tom Lehrer's work since I first heard it almost 60 years ago; so many great songs which were rather risque for the 60's. One of my favourites: https://www.bing.com/search?q=tom+lehrer+vatican+rag&form=ANNTH1&refig=e5a2e7fcb7684ab59299da71646923b6&pc=HCTS

    Travel Pointers Podcast Discussion

    Just listened to episode 6 which I found very enjoyable and informative. It was good to hear Wilson's experiences; he makes a great addition to the podcast.

    The definitive thread on Qantas IT gripes

    Thanks for this. My friend told me that the message said that the daughter was not able to use the points but more likely it said that the points could not be transfered for three months as per the rule you quoted.

    The definitive thread on Qantas IT gripes

    A friend wanted to transfer her points to her daughter who was not a QFF member. The daughter opened a new account and then the mother transfered her points across. The points arrived OK but so did a message that the points could not be used for three months. Is this a thing with new...

    Midair collision between Helicopter and CRJ (AA5342) at Washington (DCA)

    I can't help wondering when these procedures/heli routes were approved? Are they something that was approved in the 60's or 70's when traffic levels were, presumably, significantly less? Or were they something that was approved more recently?

    F points redemption Europe to Melbourne via SIN

    Well if the points are going to expire anyway, it makes sense to use them now (unless you will have the opportunity to use them on another trip).
