Tassie It is |
Trip report by henleybeach | It's been a while since my last TR, I think it was 2019 "Stans" holiday so I thought I'd get back on board for our 10 day holiday to Tassie. Six months ago we booked 7 nights Port Douglas and 5 nights Cairns for July 2021, hoping to escape the winter for 2 weeks. We were looking forward to being able to walk around in shorts and t shirt, swim and get the nice queensland glow! However a couple weeks before departure, the SA govt decided to close to whole of Australia except Tasmania. read more... |

Q: Where did you go on your last trip? |
A: It was 2019, and the world was still open. We'd just finished ~3 years of working in Qatar and we took a world trip including 2 months/10 countries in Africa, a little bit of Europe, visiting family and friends in North America, some time in our old home in the Caribbean - Belize - and finished off with some time in the Cook Islands. It took me to a current total of 84 lifetime countries.

Q: Where will you go when the current travel restrictions are lifted? |
A: Canada to see my partner's family and Mexico/Belize to go cave diving and exploring!
|
Q: Favourite airline? |
A: Qantas. I'm a few thousand status credits away from LTG [Lifetime Gold], mostly thanks to being FIFO for 5 years - I'm no longer FIFO!!
|
Q: What's one piece of advice you would give to a new AFF member? |
A: In all interactions with companies, stand your ground, know your legal rights, but be polite. Don't let them tell you they don't owe you a refund if they do!
|
Q: Favourite thread on AFF? |
A: Overview of Best Qantas Status Run Options. For obvious reasons now that I've stopped living overseas and flying for work so much, I want that LTG [Lifetime Gold] and to stop the chase every year!
