  • Why the Rolex GMT Master II is a globetrotter's best friend

    Nov 21, 2018, 03:00 PM

    I use a Citizen Skyhawk for my international & domestic travels. All I need to know is the time zone and daylight savings occurrence. Input this into the watch and it gives me local and home times. The Citizen cost thousands less than a Rolex, never needs winding or a battery. I also have a R...

  • Five world-timer watches for the business traveller

    None compensates for daylight savings or mountain time. I have a Citizen Eco Worldtimer that adjusts easily for DST, has 43 inbuilt cities and automatically adjusts on certain radio signals. Only $230 and waterproof to 200m.

  • The world's best road trips (and the car you'll want to be driving)

    We have done the Vancouver-Banff-Jasper-Vancouver loop in April many years ago using a Subaru Outback. Lots of snow and incredible mountain views and passes. Stayed in lodges and B&B's.

    Our Amex Velocity Platinum is adding up points nicely. Will be interested to see if we get the bonus status credits.

    I still use my CBA black combo as it is totally fee free and has good travel insurance. However as its FF points have become crap I use it spasmodically alongside an AMEX platinum. As I only fly business class lounge access is not a selling point.

  • Luggage - Hard vs Soft Case

    May 09, 2018, 05:14 PM

    I have used Samsonite for years both check-in and carry-on. Carry-on's are excellent but relatively expensive. The biggest problem with the check-ins are the zips. However, with Samsonites good warranty they were replaced for nothing.

    I am renting a Hertz car for 6 weeks out of Dallas. I will be travelling through 7 states during that period. Has anyone used the NeverLost gps system? Is it worth the cost?

  • Q Tags are useless on domestic to international transfers

    Nov 24, 2017, 05:41 PM

    I have flown overseas on QF, CX and SQ metal with Q-tags. No problems as they are just identifiers. Paper tags are placed on the suitcase with the correct destination.
