Qantas launches Qantas Pay card
Apr 17, 2024, 09:55 AMThere’s nearly zero reasons to use Qantas Pay for FX transactions. The exchange rate is dreadful and there are much better options out there.

QF to Fort Lauderdale via Dallas Fort Worth - 2 hr layover enough?

Tokyo Haneda Hotels
May 14, 2024, 11:46 AMI recently stayed at the Mercure Haneda Airport. It only opened late last year, but I found it to be great. Not attached to the airport, you need to catch the Keikyu line. The rooms are large for the Tokyo standards, staff were very friendly, gave us maps and hints on how to get to places by tra...
