First time catching a flight from Gold Coast airport just last weekend and I was so surprised at…read morehow easy it was to get around the building. Not to mention how efficient the security check was. The line moved fast and the staff were very clear on what to do and to make sure deodorant cans and etc were out well before you reached the scanner. Because people were prepared, line move along nicely. staff were super friendly and all smiles and joking around with everyone. Was good to see. The general cleanliness of the establishment was super clean. There were quite a lot of cigarette butts outside where people are designated to smoke though unfortunately. I'm a smoker myself and I found there to be no appropriate ash trays anywhere. Bought few things at some of the retail shops inside and was very happy with the service also.

I booked my first solo trip overseas with the help of the team at Student Flights on Adelaide…read morestreet. I was after accommodation and flight times that would be safe for a woman travelling alone, and Jamaal (the store manager) was patient with me and understanding of my concerns. I could only drop by at late hours (past 5pm) after work, which was when Student Flights was also set to close, and Jamaal was willing to stay back past closing hours until everything was booked. I even caught him stepping out once for lunch and he stayed back even though I insisted he go grab something to eat! This place can get very packed at certain hours, particularly during lunch breaks, Friday nights, and weekends. So be sure to pop in early on a week day if you don't want to be waiting around, unless you like reading masses of travel brochures. But all up I've never had such great service from a travel agency before. I'm definitely going back for the next trip I book.

We booked travel, hotel and excursions with Rima at Student Travel in Brisbane. She was AMAZING!…read more She took the time to make sure we had exactly what we wanted for a trip to Port Douglas and asked us to come back to her for any feedback we had, which we did. Overall, we had a lovely experience in Port Douglas with only a few things that were, well, awful. She immediately looked into getting those items if not fixed, at least removed from their listings. She was incredible and we highly recommend her!

I don't at all consider myself a pro when it comes to knowing about leather. I have, however,…read morehunted the perfect leather bag through the leather markets of Italy and can gage whether something is shonky or not. And as far as my novice eyes can tell, Hunt Leather in the CBD is definitely legit! With a huge amount of leather goods hailing from Colombia, Spain, Portugal, Italy and France, the owners of Hunt Leather have done a good job at sourcing some beautiful pieces. There are bags of all sizes, wallets, travel purses, laptop cases and so much more available here. I had a particular weakness for the Langchamp products. These beautiful items come with pretty hefty prices though. At an average of $1100 for an normal sized woman's handbag, don't say I didn't warn you. The service was reserved, one of those "peer over the top of your glasses at the customers" style experiences, but it wasn't awkward or unpleasant. In saying this it would have been nice to be asked if I needed any assistance. But if you need a bit of leather in your life and are finding it difficult to find something well made, pop into Hunt Leather, but prepare yourself for the credit card sting.
