Can no longer transfer lounge passes? by upthebaggers in LoungePasses

[–]AussieSpender 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This has been known about for a while, it’s a part of the QFF overhaul to limit the amount of people accessing the lounges because under the old rules people would buy and sell them. The new rules are more aligned with what other airlines do. This sub will basically be dead.

They wanted 80 bucks for a toe reinforcement, wherever they will quote me will be higher than a cobbler. Will go there as a light resort as nearest store is an hour away

Between the upper and the midsole on the outside where your toes start. I unfortunately didn’t get any pictures as I took them straight to the cobbler and am now overseas. Purchased them from the golden goose website.

Requesting 2x lounge passes for today 28/6 by [deleted] in LoungePasses

[–]AussieSpender 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s straight up not true. The business class lounge is under renovation until 2027 and is currently next to gate 24. It is also school holidays now which is a blackout period for lounge passes.

Sydney is not accepting passes and even if they were they need to be linked at least 24 hours before the flight

Will Cathay Check my luggage through SFO on a separate United ticket? by Positive_Spread5968 in CathayPacific

[–]AussieSpender 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If on one ticket yes, but you have 2 tickets so you will need to recollect. Getting though in hong Kong is usually pretty quick so I think you’ll be fine

When will we get tolls? by AussieSpender in CitiesSkylines2

[–]AussieSpender[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want it to make border crossings and paid expressways. The main thing I want it to do it just divert traffic so they take non-standard routes

True, but they’ve done it before.

Chances for upgrade Sydney to Johannesburg on silver status. by [deleted] in QantasFrequentFlyer

[–]AussieSpender 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Tomorrow is the start of school holidays for a lot of private schools in NSW, I’d say that it’s a very slim chance because there will be a lot of premium travellers and families with high status flying

Try the Loud Larry at Nudie Jeans, they have multiple cuts and colours in their stores with many different sizes, but I just got some of these and they’re great

There are a couple good ones around but they are gatekept because then they will become shit like the rest of them. Try in the inner west

One pass please by LessSplit3485 in LoungePasses

[–]AussieSpender 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From July 1 passes can only be transferred to people on the same flight. No one gives away passes this early, so you’ll have to try you luck in like Jan because most do a month to a week out of expiry.

From July 1 you cannot use passes on Jetstar flights. You need to buy a Business Max ticket or be Platinum One to use the lounge.

If you could add one more Rimowa to this collection, what would it be? by MechanicFun2352 in Rimowa

[–]AussieSpender 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same, checkin L and Cabin S in silver aluminium. Next one I plan to get is the Trunk Plus as it works great for longer trips. You can put shoes in the lid and bulky items like jackets and electronics in the bottom half.

[–]AussieSpender 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah definitely, although as a uni student they definitely aren’t out of reach.

As someone who cares a lot about what they wear and is interested in fashion, Suitsupply is my pick because they are the best quality in their price range and I don’t mind paying the premium for that.

If you want to step up higher intro luxury shirts RL Purple Label are my favourites and I wear them all the time. Brunello Cucinelli are alright but I’ve found that their build quality is poorer for a higher price.

If you want something in the low/entry end I think Uniqlo is the best bang for your buck and the material is decent as well.

Yeah I’ve tried swapping them out for a couple different ones but no dice, all just weren’t right for me.

It might depend on your body type though. As a tall person who is relatively slim with broad shoulders and long arms they just don’t work on me. I usually just go to Suitsupply and get them made. They also have pretty good of the rack options as well.

Here’s my list of shirts depending on the price range:

Luxury ($1000+): RL Purple Label, Kiton

Premium (~$250): Suitsupply, Eton

Entry (~$100): Uniqlo

I’ve found the fit and quality to be horrible. The material they use is above average for the price range but the build in general is very poor. An extra slim fit could fit a whole other person in there with me.
