How to speed up your Australian passport renewal
Dec 14, 2023, 04:44 PMNever had a problem using any of my three passports (OZ and two others). Seems only time it flags an issue is when you leave on one passport and return on another. So stay consistent depending on where you are travelling too.

Price hike: Australian passports soar to almost $400
Dec 14, 2023, 04:36 PMOnly costs NZ$206 (AU$189) for a NZ 10-year passport using same technology with 49 pages versus our 42. They have a much smaller population. All the justification goes out the window. Even a UK passport cost GBP75 or AUD 141.70. So who are the suckers who are being so...

Price hike: Australian passports soar to almost $400
Dec 14, 2023, 04:18 PMThe removal of the Frequent Traveller Passport was a massive price increase as frequent travelers had to get new passports more often. Interesting how when they want to, Dept of Border Control can produce a list of countries you have visited in the last 25-years. Guess it is only...

How airlines are spreading Christmas cheer this year
Dec 12, 2023, 03:41 PMBe interesting to see if Qantas get into the Christmas spirit in flight. Flights so far this month have been no different to any flights in the last three months. BA has been exceptional. Also spread in EK lounge is world-class, way better than Licorice Allsorts and Jaffas.

Qantas unable to offer incentives when flights paid in other currencies

Gold to Platinum - currently 1330 SC credits
Apr 16, 2020, 02:15 PMI understand. I've almost re-qualified for another year as P, but have had 3 Double SC bookings cancelled. Taking a credit did not carry forward the double status credits, so all I get is the automatic roll-over, which someone who is also P would get if they'd done no flights this year and no ...
