What if your DNA test comes back saying you are a certain percentage American? Do you get automatic Green Card? :D

In my experience Qantas simply does not do proactive compensation. Three times in the last 20 or so years I have been told I would receive compensation for various issues but on each occasion nothing occurred until I formally complained.

I certainly agree with that. Mrs SS flew on BA15 on 19 November and points and scs posted on 21/11. I flew on same flight as AY codeshare and 3 weeks later I am still waiting. 🙁

Birthplace of parents?? What if you don't know? Mine died a long time ago. I know which country they were born in but beyond that I have no idea.

Just revisiting this as need to book a business domestic flight for Mrs SS. Are these still fully refundable? To the statement 'if you cancel for a refund' in the table there is a green tick but also an asterisk; *No fees apply where you are entitled to a refund or alternative flight under the...

Just booked Mrs SS SYD - HKG - YYZ return on CX to attend a medical conference early next year. The SS household is avoiding the US where possible.

My bolding - it depends. Certainly not the case if you left in the 1980s as per @Brissy1 post.

That won’t work with Red Energy. Points are based on bills issued.

And it is an EEC passport with working rights in EU making it an even better deal!

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...
