    A short stint in Saudi (and QR Doha Stopover)

    Well you are in a way. I remember being told by an Orthodox priest in Israel many years ago that all visitors are pilgrims whether they are Orthodox or not.

    One world becoming less relevant

    Last year I booked an AY reward using AA miles. I switched from my AA number to my QF number on the AY website. I didn’t expect it to work but it held.

    A short stint in Saudi (and QR Doha Stopover)

    I don't mind the long walks at airports as it helps offset the overeating and meets my steps target. But if that is time that would otherwise be spent in AL Safwa then it is a different matter!

    Qantas Green frequent flyer tier

    I couldn't find one. I also couldn't find a way to offset one flight out of a longer itinerary.

    Booked one of the cygnets on QF28 on 27 November for March 16. There were a few flights available that week but they all disappeared in a few days.

    What's your prediction on the Australian Dollar?

    Hasn’t this thread gone a little off-topic?

    Have you topped up a UK pension to cover gaps?

    PSA. For those who are offered a mixture of class 2 and class 3 payments, remember that only whole years of contributions count. So if you just pay the class 2 bit of a year and pass on the class 3 bit of a year then that year will not count.

    What's your prediction on the Australian Dollar?

    I think the little Aussie battler got a touch of vertigo above 70 US cents and needs to rest before surging again.

    Have you topped up a UK pension to cover gaps?

    Typical DWP bureaucracy. You pay what they advised you to pay and then they chase you for more to fix their error. And it is only 6 quid.! The cost of processing will be a lot more than that.

    Booking Sri Lankan Airlines?

    That is the question I asked them but their response suggested they did not understand the question. I tried explaining multiple times but to no avail.

    Booking Sri Lankan Airlines?

    I need to make a SYD - CMB return booking on the Sri Lankan website. Does anyone know where the payment is processed as I am keen to incur an FX fee in case my AUD payment is not processed in Australia. I rang the office in Melbourne but they insist that is a question for my bank.
