What about a trip through the Baltic states? I have recently returned from visits to Tallinn, Riga, Vilnius and Kaunas and would recommend them all.

Nothing to like if you don't have a dog!

Unfortunately the UK frozen pensions policy has a complete absence of fairness and logic.

Ah yes you are right - I compared the 6 month rate for class 2s against the annual rate for class 3s.

I agree the offer of paying class 2s has been generous. Class 3s are around 10 times more expensive than class 2s. Your pension does not depend upon whether you paid class 2 or class 3. The uprating of pensions for overseas pensioners is completely separate from class 2 / 3 issue and dispends...

My leaf for using Red Energy green power came through this morning. Total cost was only $27.95 including GST. Managed to time the quarter to when the house was empty for 4+ weeks. So 3 leaves now - just flying carbon offset and give back to go.

Last week Mrs SS and I both had an AY flight credit in 3 days. Her outgoing flight taken a month earlier had taken 28 days to credit.

That FC offer of 2500 / 150 is woeful compared to the 500 / 100 back in November 2018 where I loaded up with GCs. Special - 10% back up to $20.

One of the cygnets has flown twice to the US this year to connect to Latin America, once to Mexico and once to Brazil. Because US connections require an entry into the US he will have been counted as twice visiting the US when he was there for merely a few hours. It is a pity there are so few...

Mine still shows the green bar.

This is pretty common in my experience.

Agree. I would have expected 5 or 10 times points.

I last checked in for QF20 in mid-August when departure time was 8.35pm. I can't remember when check in opened but think it was around 3pm.

The Qantas checkin area has a separate queue for business pax.

They have all posted today; 2 took 9 days, 1 took 8 days.

I disagree completely. The younger generation has a much tougher time with HECS debts and housing costs through the roof. At the same time us oldies are drawing super tax-free. It is unfair and unsustainable.

Once fully utilised there is no extra indexation available. So for example if you fully utilised your TBC when the cap was $1.6million, then you got no indexation when the cap moved to $1.7million as you had already fully used your cap. Indexation only applies to the unutilised portion (if...

If you didn't utilise fully the TBC, the unutilised part is indexed.

Took 3 AY flights a week ago but none have posted yet. Booked direct on Finnair website. Time to put in a claim?

No only wine but most takeovers are full of hyperbole, most of which is unfulfilled.
