From Canada to Switzerland, these are the best new ski hotels of 2018
Oct 28, 2018, 09:05 PMThe Josie looks great, and it's as close to the base station of Red Mountain as you can get, and much more impressive than existing accommodation. But if I was going there I'd just ski Red every day. Driving several hours and hundreds of kilometres to Revelstoke or Kicking Horse is not what I'd c...

Tips for staying trim when travelling on business
Sep 26, 2018, 08:31 AMMake sure you've got good shoes... If the shoes you wear while working leave your feet feeling tired, it's time for an upgrade. If I have sore feet at the end of the day then I just want to sit down. Getting shoes I can wear to work that are still comfortable after 10,000+ steps made a huge diffe...

What to do when your airline flight is cancelled or delayed
Jul 12, 2018, 01:58 PMGood point on the double dip of loyalty points Chris. I got lucky in a slightly different way. I'd booked a flight to Canada with Qantas during a double status credits promotion.

Recommendations on annual travel insurance policy?

Qantas Club Melbourne - Refurbishment
Mar 13, 2018, 06:37 PMWhen I was there on a Friday afternoon a few weeks ago, it was much more crowded than I'm used to. I couldn't find a seat without having to share a table, and I couldn't get one near a power point. The food service seemed to be much the same as usual though the bar/coffee was slow.
