Getting close now. Cruising February to Antarctica on Scenic Eclipse and putting final touches on preparation. A few questions. We are traveling from Maroochydore to Sydney to Buenos Aires with an aircraft change in Santiago. (Qantas to KLM). I have looked on Qantas website and gave up waiting...

VELOCITY What’s in a name? I have been thinking about posting this for a while now, and I think with the recent announcement this may be the time. Velocity: Speed Without Direction? As frequent flyers, we know Velocity as the popular rewards program. But in physics, velocity has a specific...

I don’t drink it, but yeah my bad for calling it champagne.

I haven’t read through all previous posts so please excuse this post if this information is already here. I am gold Accor and reach platinum after our current stay at Sofitel Fiji. Sofitel Fiji have a free, replenished mini bar each day in the room we were staying in. I am not sure if that...

Update: I spent over an hour on the phone today with Qantas who were unable to assist at all. I finally found a Sydney phone number for KLM and with my QF booking number they were able to confirm my J seat selection but with a $196.00 fee for the 2 flights for the 2 of us. Wasn’t expecting the...

I have an upcoming revenue booking in J on QF MCY-SYD. SYD-SCL. SCL-EZE. and return. The SCL-EZE and EZE-SCL flight are on KLM and are booked as J and show as J on the original booking but on ticket show as a “business saver/premium economy”. The seat guru seating map has economy comfort and...

When: August 30 to September 1 Total Cost: $1.92. (that is not a typo) Pickup: SYD Return: Kawana Sunshine Coast Reserved: Kia Sportage Actual car: Renault Koleos I needed a one way rental from Syd to Sunshine Coast to transport some fragile and valuable items and we didn’t want to trust a...

Just listened the podcast 1. Fantastic to have it back.

I have a $185K personal ATO bill to pay and have an Amex platinum card. At around 425K reward points and $4K fee this doesn’t sound too bad when that roughly equates to a J return trip from Australia to USA. Now just to convince Mrs Atleastonce it is a good idea and to find available flights. I...

Good evening, I have had a look in the T & C,s for VA and am pretty sure I have my answer to the following but wanted to see if anyone has had a similar experience. I need to take some cordless ryobi equipment on a domestic flight. The equipment is a few drills and a nail gun. Can I put them...

Yes, sorry didn’t see your previous post.

The perplexing thing about this offer is the travel dates. If you can only book 330 or 331 days in advance, then booking something on 18 July 2024 ( the last day to book) you can only book travel up to 14 June 2025 (if 331 days is used for calculations), but the promo allows travel up to 27...

Yes, we have had a need to stay at the Mantra (Accor) Castle Hill, Sydney four times in the last eight weeks and will be back regularly for at least the next three months. Every time I book a king room it registers on their system as a queen know me there now and they asked me to put the fact...

Where can I get kenneling for $30 per day, I just spent 5 days kenneling for two under 10kg dogs for a grand total of $550 and didn’t include additional costs of a wash and blow dry, medication administration or play in the slash park to cool them down. It certainly can get expensive and be...

Recently my mother in law passed away and this last week we have been sorting out her estate. My father in law owned a freight forwarding company which my brother in law still runs. Amongst the paper work I found some old Qantas baggage labels (1982) a Qantas restricted articles pamphlet...

your comment about finger pointing and neither would pay is old school thinking. The General Insurance Code of Practice covers insurers conduct (which travel insurance is covered) and is governed by the Code governance Committee as the quasi regulator of the code which in turn can sanction...

Technically not correct. whilst it is legal to have multiple policies for the same risk each PDS maybe different and cover different aspects of the claim. It is not as simple as splitting the claim payout and can be a complex negotiation between insurers, too complex for a detailed discussion...
