| Bonkers via Honkers - to Austria |
| Trip report by offshore171 | Many of us would remember the old Cathay Pacific jingle, which used to go "you'd have to be bonkers, not to go via Honkers". I suspect a lot of travellers would feel different at the present time, with the Coronavirus outbreak, but over new year, we did exactly that. The plan for the trip was to get to Lermoos in the Austrian alps, where we had booked a stay in the amazing Hotel Post. read more... |
| Christmas Island. (AFF community report) |
| Trip report by Scr77 | Christmas Island is an usual destination that many AFFers have been to. It's the type of destination that would get differing reviews depending on what you would expect from an Australian Island. I have been three times, but invite anyone who has been to contribute. read more... |

|
| Q: Most recent flight? |
A: An unexciting SYD-BNE with Qantas in Y.
|
| Q: What's still on your bucket list? |
A: Patagonia and Tierro del Fuego. Theroux and Chatwin's books put this onto my bucket list and one day I'll get to South America. This year I'm ticking the USA off the list which I've somehow managed to avoid until now.
|
| Q: What's one thing you would never travel overseas without? |
A: I'm a very light traveller - beyond my passport, wallet & phone there's not much else I need. A universal any country to any country power adaptor is probably the first thing in my bag.
|
| Q: What's one piece of advice you would give to a new AFF member? |
A: Points mean prizes. There are many among us who would never have flown first class without some of the hints and tips from this forum. If you can, pick an airline/alliance that best fits your future travel plans. Search for all the additional points earning opportunities with them to really ramp up your potential rewards. Getting a credit card that gave me more points in one application than 6 months of flying was a game changer for me.
|
| Q: Favourite thread on AFF? |
A: One of my favourite areas of AFF isn't a thread, it's the AFF Flight Tracker. I love seeing the flight maps of other users and the far away exotic places people have travelled. It definitely gives me more travel aspirations! If you don't use it yet, check it out and remember to set your profile to public! (Click here to view Lemon_Party's flights.)
