  • Qantas clamps down on lounge pass selling & sharing

    Not for those without Sapphire/Emerald status.

    Same, MBP 2020 had a 60W charger, MBP 2024 has a 71W charger (13" Intel/14" Apple CPU respectively), they'll both operate and charge (/not discharge) on 60W without a problem). Video encoding is probably the only time it'll struggle.

    Same HKG, yes you have to enrol, but it's once a decade (was originally a frequent traveller only thing, may still be the case, not 100% on that) - insert passport, press fingerprint, gate opens.

  • Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer Spontaneous Escapes guide [2025]

    I agree, but the rationale will be swipe fees - in places like here, the UK and EU, swipe fees are capped, so there’s only so much card companies can charge (which ultimately pays for our rewards). Now because Amex are smaller, comparatively, than Visa/MC, they may not be subject to the cap...

  • Dubai Airport to go passport-free with AI, biometrics

    Well HKG already have a similar system enrolled for security and boarding (you can opt out at the moment), it's only a matter of time. Not sure why it matters, they collect all the same data anyway.

    This makes no sense - WP for 10 years is 1400x1+1200x9 as a minimum = 12,200; LTG is 14,000, you should be no more than 1,800 away surely?

  • Borders getting tighter

    Aug 20, 2021, 10:48 PM

    I am hoping this latest situation finally puts a lid on this ridiculous notion that zero is achievable. Just need to get McGowan to take his rose tinted spectacles off now. If anything resembling normal is ever going to come back re international travel, there will be cases, and not just a few li...
