    Qantas rolls out Classic Plus Flight Rewards

    Maybe, but I value points at 1 cent each anyway. This is based on domestic travel where Classic award flights are easy to come by. 8000 points plus $40 for a MEL to ADL or SYD trip that I can otherwise get for around $120. I don't travel enough to care about status credits so I will save $80...

    Qantas rolls out Classic Plus Flight Rewards

    Does the word "stampede" stem from a QF press release or us it true? If true it's okay with me. Let others use their points up on Classic Plus, especially when I have plans for trips

    Why don't hotels make it easier to order room service?

    For room service it seems a good idea but I can't stand this in a Cafe or restaurant and I usually ask for a printed menu. Trying to read a menu on your phone (particularly a large menu), keying in credit card details etc is an absolute pain. Then they have the nerve to offer a suggested tip. A...

    I use Coles No Annual Fee card. Gives a low Flybuys earn, but usually comes with a sign on bonus.

    Compensation for a bad nights sleep

    Nearly 20 years ago my now wife and I were in southern Argentina in a small hotel on the ground floor (of 2 levels). We were awoken by a terrible racket. It turns out it was the national lottery draw. I don't if it was a replay because it was pretty early. It involved children singing out the...

    Changi Matters

    Price rise. $27.10 less 20% (buy 2+) yesterday! Very happy. The cheapest gin they had at Lotte too.

    Seat poacher

    Thus reminds me of an amusing scene in a movie, possibly Murder on the Orient Express (but searching is not coming to fruition), where this old lady refused to move to her seat because "I always sit next to the window".

    MEL reportedly best airport in Australia

    I don’t consider myself that well travelled. Certainly not a frequent flyer. So a bit surprised I've been to 23.

    What happens if you tick “yes” to respiratory symptoms when you check in?

    But in the case of the OP they know it is just a common cold and don't want to risk being stranded. No way I would tick yes.

    Qantas rolls out Classic Plus Flight Rewards

    This VA rate might be an equivalent to P+P but you can see wildly different amounts that seem more like CR+. Eg I went MEL to OOL recently. 11k up via SYD, 14k back direct. Other flights in 20ks and 30ks.

    MEL reportedly best airport in Australia

    Definition of public transport from Google: buses, trains, and other forms of transport that are available to the public, charge set fares, and run on fixed routes. Most public transport is privately owned or run now. That doesn't make them private transport.

    MEL reportedly best airport in Australia

    The Skybus is a form of public transport, like it or not. Not exactly as nice as a train under a terminal building, but it is pretty fast to get between the city and airport so it is not so bad. Absolutely on the transfers. My last 2 international arrivals (both connecting to MEL) were in...

    Unusual airport taxi/transport experiences

    Conversely after my first overseas trip many years ago, needing to get from Sydney international to domestic to get home to Adelaide (which didn't have an international airport back then) it was cheaper for the 4 of us uni students to get a taxi rather than the airport bus. Said taxi driver...

    Qantas rolls out Classic Plus Flight Rewards

    Except unlike them QF can't claim it is an "assisted" check-out.

    Too good to be true...

    Reviews on line suggest this site is not a scam but I wonder if you sent an enquiry (since you can't book by the looks of that screenshot) whether those prices were ever available.

    Unsuccessful application!!

    Further to that, if the super was a problem I would use a letter of employment stating incoming rather than payslips for future applications where possible

    Unsuccessful application!!

    Maybe they treat the salary sacrifice to super as lost income ie treat your income as 30% of what it really is. I also get at tax free component working for a charity and I haven't found a way to easily explain that. Another possibility is the closed credit card still appears on your credit...
