Hi All I book the odd JQ flight and I was very pleased to discover that they have quietly reduced the RIDICULOUS $8.50 fee on a domestic sector to between 0.48 and 1.06% for cc's. Interestingly POLI now attracts a 0.75% fee. So I did a test on AMEX and a $59 fare attracts a 63c charge now...

Hi All, I generally don't post links to my blog reports on AFF anymore but I believe this may be of interest to some people here. It's a report of my recent trip MEL-SIN on QF35 in business. This was actually an opup as I was originally booked in Y but the school holiday crowds meant an...

Re: Malaysian Airlines Nitpicking but it is Malaysia Airlines, not Malaysian.... just as it is not Singaporean Airlines

So I just received my statement for my NAB platinum qantas card and I have not received the extra 1 point per dollar for my Qantas purchases. Is this common with this card? I really can not be bothered making follow up enquiries every month and the guy I got on the phone seemed to have no idea...
