Probably easier just to give them all of your holiday money. I use 28 Degrees by Latitude for overseas credit purchases and Citibank debit card for cash OS  Both have excellent exchange rates 

If they join, will I get my Life Golden Wing membership reinstated? Well I suppose I should get over it LOL

Just checked I think Verizon have sims for iPhone 

Trouble is ATT require USA credit card which requires a USA social security number I donk think the carriers use sims but not sure Neverhad any coverage issues but usually stick to cities

Tmobile Good coverage buy at Sim Corner T Sydney International  Cheaper than buying in US If you go to T mobile shop in US after you get sim, you can add on International calls Great value for 1gb data unlimited calls and texts in US and Canada

I fly Virgin to USA  I go thru the wonderful US customs process and then onto Southwest in their roomy 737 with free  luggage and a brilliant boarding system (I pat the extra $10 for priority boarding). They don't show up on Skyscanner, maybe because of their pricing. Sure a bus in the ...

At the risk of opening old wounds. Is this the same airline that sent Ansett ( and my lifetime Golden Wing & 250,000 points) to the wall? Goes to prove the airline business is a people business...both in the air and on the ground.  Gary Twomey and Alan Joyce- dead heat?   Even ...
