    No more secondary gate screening on Australia bound flights from certain airports?

    Flew HKG-MEL on CX and there was none. And HKG now using the new scanners where you don't have to take out anything.

    What's on the menu CX105

    I pre-ordered the braised abalone for supper. Best CX meal for this holiday.

    Bag must be stowed overhead for window seat on CX?

    Currently on CX A350 KIX-HKG in J and was told by one of the cabin crew that as I have a window seat I can't have my carry on tote bag stowed under the footrest in front. This is new. The lady in front was also asked to put her small handbag above too. But there was no issue when we flew MEL-HKG.

    What did someone do in the lounge that would make you not want to be on the same plane or near them on the plane?

    For me, it’s this woman here in MEL international J lounge coughing every two minutes. Don’t want to be sick at the start of the holidays. And she's drinking Coke too... that's going to make the cough worse...

    Colesworth price gouging?

    With all this talk recently, I don't even know if ppl outside of Ozbargain or AFF are doing their shopping right. Compared to someone who goes to say Aldi, I get all my name brands at Colesworth and throw into the mix discounted gift cards, half price offers, loyalty points, bonus points, I...

    Novated lease and AmpolCard and Woolworths Everyday Rewards points

    Just wondering if anyone has had success in getting points by using the AmpolCard at EG Woolworths? I think I read that the 4c fuel discount is definitely out if using the fuel card (and not using own credit card and seeking reimbursement later). My partner is just starting a new novated...

    Short paid Amex by a few cents. Will Amex charge late fee and interest on full balance if paid the following day?

    What are people's experiences if this has happened to you?

    Have you stayed with us before?

    As a Hilton Diamond, I often get asked this at check in, despite having stayed there many nights for the mattress runs. I mean, can't they see it on their computer? Do you get asked this at other chains?

    Samsung Wallet (Samsung Pay) issues

    For the past week, all of the Amex transactions using Samsung Wallet for both of my Amex cards (including the ones in my partner's phone) got declined. Physical cards work fine. Anyone else with this problem?

    KLM - so slow

    Just flew BCN to AMS, first time on KLM and first time to AMS. First impression: airport is a mess. Poor signage, long walk from gate to carousel. It's like the plane parked in one terminal and the luggage ended up in another. Maybe I'm too used to how things are done with SQ and SIN, or even...

    Second year in a row VA points not coming through for 2nd passenger on SQ

    As per the title, has anyone else had this issue? I'm the primary traveller on the booking and my points come through ok. *sigh* have to chase VA again when I'm back in Australia. And for the first time ever, my partner has a boarding pass printed at the check in counter with a misspelled...

    So many people coughing here in MEL

    Walking from car park to terminal, someone coughed walking towards me. Waiting to put stuff on tray for security, some old woman pushed in saying she’s got 10 mins. Then later I didn’t even see her run to the VA gate. Then people waiting behind were coughing. Then inside VA lounge as well…...

    Searching on AFF forums

    I'm normally a Google-fu in my daily life, but I'm having real trouble finding things using the search function here. Too often I'm hit with the message the words are too long, too short or too common. Any tips, other than searching via Google?

    VA drip feeding J reward seats?

    Someone commented on a thread (that I cannot find now) that only single seats are available. I think I've just experienced this first hand. I booked a reward flight for MEL-SYD when only one J is showing as available for redemption. At the time of booking, all 8 seats are available. After...

    Editing Hilton booking doesn't really edit the booking any more?

    When i was booking stays for my last trip, I would book the semi flexible rate and if the price drops I would go into the booking, edit it and choose the room again at the lower rate. However recently I tried this trick and even though the confirmation screen shows the lower rate (as well as...

    Do you discourage others from using QF?

    As a non-QF fan, often when the subject of flying comes up amongst friends and colleagues, I would question why they would fly with them and discourage them from doing so and encourage them to try other airlines instead. Any of you do the same?

    What kind of QF trickery is this - changing your ticket to a later departure time when there's a flight at the original departure time?

    So we and another family are going to PER in Jan 2023. Friends booked a QF holiday package while we booked VA. Friends received a notification saying the original flight from PER-MEL (QF776) at 16:10 has been "cancelled" and they've been moved to QF776 departing at 18:10, meaning they will...
