  • It seems I've always had rotten luck getting FF points from QANTAS online shopping transactions credited, even though I do ensure my browser/cookies/extensions are properly configured and updated. But lately, it's gotten much worse. Now, fully 50% of my points-eligible transactions are not even s...

  • Playing 'Armchair Airline Executive' is a tired old game and a complete waste of time.

  • I worry for someone's career as a 'Digital Nomad' if that person was not tech savvy enough to do a Google search comparison of credit card interest rates and fees.

  • Would you fly on a Comac C919?

  • Brisbane Hotel Question

    Jan 15, 2024, 04:46 PM

For work, hotels near Queen Street are much better for getting around, especially if you need to see people in/around the ...

People can and do navigate around this site with ease, you know. That's like saying, I don't want to dis...

    @Away01I've been a regular QF flyer starting in 1980 as a mere child. An unusual thing for someone to have been a regular flyer since they were a kid, but that's how it was for me because of family circumstances.
