Is airline lounge membership tax deductible?
Oct 04, 2024, 06:00 PMThey may be deductible, but are they really value for money and worth it in today's climate - I feel not.

Qantas flying a fuel-laden Boeing 747 to Auckland
Sep 21, 2017, 05:06 PMSeems to me, quite an embarrassment in modern aviation. AKL airport staff will soon be hand pumping fuel from imported 44 gallon barrels to get the aircraft in the air. What a joke!.

Velocity Account suspended
Sep 16, 2017, 07:28 AMI had a similar experience, but different.
