    La Mer, le Canal & les Pyrénées

    It’s been five years since my last trip report but this one will be a little different. We are travelling for six months so a daily report on what we do and don’t do could become quite tedious and boring. OTOH, there will be plenty of ideas to share and locations/experiences to report on. Back...

    QF Wine Voucher fail

    Hi Everyone, I've just tried to use a QF $50 wine voucher and it throws an error. I think this voucher is one that I received from some promotion at Woolies where you spent a certain amount and got a wine voucher emailed to you. I know there is a thread on AFF somewhere but I have looked and...

    French long-term visas

    Many countries are introducing “digital nomad visas” however, France isn’t one of them; at least not exactly. So, if you want to stay in France for an extended period of time, you have to apply for a long-term visa. I thought I would start a thread on French long-term visas so that I could...

    Rosé in Sydney J Lounge

    I was in the Sydney Domestic J lounge yesterday and was surprised to see Rosé available: None of the reds took my fancy. And my pet hate: why do they insist on opening 9 bottles of sparkling all at once the moment the bar opens? Most of them go flat long before they are consumed. (First...

    Accommodation on Norfolk Island

    With QF continuing to fly to Norfolk, I thought I would start a thread for members to share their comments and recommendations on places to stay, or avoid, on Norfolk Island. What's good value, what isn't, etc.?

    Unexpected Refund on Annual Multi-Trip Insurance Policy

    I had an annual multi-trip policy that started on 1 May 2019. Obviously I wasn't able to get much benefit from it after February. I hadn't thought about the policy as I didn't have any trips planned so I was surprised to receive an email from NIB at the end of November suggesting that I may...
