    Uber drivers at CNS routinely cancelling rides to manipulate surge pricing

    It is odd, as new member accounts generally come on with a story/experience/question. The new member accounts came here specifically to defend one position. Is this thread trending in other forums

    Jetlag minimisation/avoidance strategies

    I know, hence my comment that the "fiddling" or "not as advertised" is more likely in the US for the reason I gave above ... than in Australia where it is a prescription medicine and has an ARTG ID (Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods ID.

    Emirates denies QFF Gold baggage allowance

    That's because it is not just a codeshare arrangement. It is actually an ACCC approved Joint Venture

    Easier to see if you compare differential sales tax between the jurisdictions. USA does not have federal sales tax. These are only at the state levels and are virtually all lower than the 20-25%VAT in Europe. So in a way tariffs are just a sales tax on imported goods whereas a VAT is a sales...

    More likely "not as advertised" in the US where it is classed as a dietary supplement.

    Who is going to the USA, who has changed their travel and what will you do differently?

    I want to buy a Tesla.🤣 Not everything needs to be seen through a political lens otherwise might as well not travel anywhere. There are a lot worse places but we still go there. The tips on the other hand are #WCMO

    Jetlag minimisation/avoidance strategies

    There are reports that some melatonin products are laced with CBD, not necessarily restricted to AU. Melatonin Gummies in particular. Additionally the 'doses' are not necessarily consistent with whats on the label. Especially if its a daytime flight going to LHR when I want to reset the...

    I wonder if this is to get staff practiced and up to speed prior to the Easter Mad Rush..?

    Emirates denies QFF Gold baggage allowance

    There have been discussion in other parts where conditions of all flights in a ticket revert to the most restrictive flight in that ticket. I wonder if this is one of those cases.

    Emirates denies QFF Gold baggage allowance

    QF says: QF ticket, codeshare with EK = Gold allowance should have been allowed as you were terminating in DXB then FCO. The open jaw return is a separate flight and should be irrelevant for the outbound discussion but unfortuantely that open jaw has tfor some reason turned the entire ticket...

    If anything more for the cabin crew's benefit. "Feed the chooks and turn the lights out" kinda thing 🤣 But this flight departs HKG in the morning and lands LHR in the afternoon. Best to stay awake as much as possible.

    Yes light is the best circadian reset tool. Read or orange tinted glasses which block blue light supposedly makes your brain think it is nighttime There are even glasses with blue emitting lights to make your brain think its daytime Will the HKG-LHR flight be lit the entire sector?

    1Cover - requiring pre-payment / going hard on pre-existing conditions?

    Unfortunately Media Watch (ABC) is mostly about attacking other media outlets, rather than the substantive issues behind your story.

    Who is going to the USA, who has changed their travel and what will you do differently?

    As I said elsewhere, those sentiments are overblown IMO there is no reason not to go except maybe the AUD/USD pair and the price of a J ticket to the USA. Border control everywhere have always been able to search your person, belongings and laptops. You do not have 4th amendment protection at...

    Blossoms, bullet train and beyond: exploring Japan by Land and Sea.

    What's the reason - that it is then classified as an international cruise rather than domestic for tax reasons. That would mean having to go through immigration again when you disembark - oh you answered that earlier.

    Though if they withdrew the CNY from the Us that will just put downward pressure on the USD making US tariffs in China effectively worse
