| AFF Community Round-Up |
| You can now comment on AFF articles |
| We want our readers to be able to have their say, so we've now opened up comments on selected AFF articles that don't link directly to a thread on our forums. On articles where comments are open, you'll find a comments section at the bottom of the article. Please note that you'll need to provide a name and email address (which is not made public) when commenting on AFF articles, even if you're an AFF member as articles are separate to the AFF forum pages. read more... |
| Last chance for award flight assistance before the Qantas changes |
| If you're planning to use the Award Flight Assist service to get help with redeeming your Qantas points before next week's Qantas Frequent Flyer changes, now is your last chance! The Frequent Flyer Solutions team is currently very busy, so they can only guarantee a response before the Qantas Frequent Flyer changes take effect if you request a quote by tomorrow and pay for the service by Wednesday, 11 September. |
| Featured AFF Member Trip Reports |
| A 10 Star Trip Europe and The Maldives... |
| Trip report by SponsorSFC | I really enjoyed writing and occasionally reviewing my previous report so thought I would start another one as we have a month to go. This trip was planned around 4 key points: Attend the Ashes at Lord's; Making the most of our soon to lapse Hilton Diamond status (thanks Macquarie it was a great 4 years while it lasted); Burn through my last 140k United miles; Collect a few more Michelin Stars while we eat our way around. read more... |

|
| Q: Most recent flight? |
A: I flew back from Sydney last night on Qantas after a one-night work trip.
|
| Q: Favourite destination? |
A: Just one? Antarctica. It was other worldly. I'll add another more realistic destination - Japan. People, history, food, landscape and the train system (of course).
|
| Q: What's one thing you would never travel overseas without? |
A: I do my best to leave it somewhere while we're away - passport. And a phone with a great camera and offline maps. Invaluable.
|
| Q: What's one piece of advice you would give to a new AFF member? |
A: Realise how lucky we all are to be able to fly frequently. A broken in-flight entertainment unit or non-availability of your favourite Chardonnay won't kill you. Oh, and don't make that first stretch to J. You'll never want to go back to Y ;)
[*Editor's note for newbies: J = Business class and Y = Economy class.]
|
| Q: Favourite thread on AFF? |
A: All trip reports by JohnM. Oh to be half as adventurous. His current trip with RooFlyer, written by RF, is amazing - The 5 Stans of the Silk Road
