    Chilling out in Bangkok.

    I have used Klook and Joe Thai Taxi on my recrnt trip for airport transfers - Klook is a little cheaper at around AUD38 but Joe Thai Taxi is a better experience - THB900 for a "luxury car" which can be a Honda Accord, Toyota Camry, Toyota Fortuner or Isuzu MUX. I use Grab in Bangkok where I...

    JAL 777-300ER back on Sydney route

    Hopefully not a complete cancellation if they change the plane to the 787.... I am sure getting award availability closer to the departure date will be problematic!

    JAL 777-300ER back on Sydney route

    Oh noooo. I have got a Classic Award booked in F from HND to SYD in esrly June 2025. Does this mean the plane change to 787 is coming? What do QF/JL do then typically? Cancel the Claasic Award booking completely to annoy their customers? Or change the seat to J on the replacement flight on the...

    Qantas international Economy Class meals

    Yes I was in the T2 Gold Lounge beforehand. Superior to the Qantas lounges in Australia (except Flounges). Had to get the skytrain over to T1 due to a gate change which was super easy and efficient.

    So... what car do you guys drive when not flying?

    I hear good things about the Corolla Cross too - I have a Lexus UX which is basically a fancy version of the Corolla Cross and its a great car. Not sure if the price difference between the top grade Corolla Cross and the Lexus is worth it but thats a whole other topic....

    New application for Signature Rewards - application crashing

    Curious if anyone else has experienced this.... Last week I applied for a new NAB Signature Rewards card - decent sign-up bonus, on-going earn rate for KrisFlyer is pretty good, no foreign transaction fees and no monthly fee if you spend over $5K per month. I completed the application online...

    Qantas boosts international capacity, wet lease Finnair aircraft

    Glad I wasnt the only one to think this. I got yelled at once for asking for a hot chocolate after dinner "you could have asked earlier!" was the response when I made my request. Maybe due to QF23/24 were always full (in my experience) - a busy flight with mainly leisure travellers is hard going...

    Qantas boosts international capacity, wet lease Finnair aircraft

    I have flown the AY product on the QF SYD-BKK flights twice now - both in Premium and Business. They are both great products and better than the QF product to my taste. Premium seats are comfortable and supportive. Business seat/bed is very comfortable and I got a good sleep. I am 6ft2 tall and...

    ANZ black retention offers

    I called ANZ yesterday and said I was considering cancelling the card - the agent said that's fine and started the process to cancel. I asked if there was anything they could do to keep me and she said a flat out "no we don't do offers for you to keep the card", she didn't even ask why I was...

    4 Hours in HKG without Lounge? (Qantas Club Member - Flying Cathay)

    I tried once before doing the exact same on my way to TPE and was rudely turned away. Perhaps consider paying to enter the Plaza Premium Lounge as an option.
