• Where to holiday on a 7K budget

    Getting into the end-of-year holiday spirit, this week we will feature our Community Insights regarding a recommended holiday for 2 for $7,000.

    Our senior member munitalP poses this 'hypothetical' question
    If you had decided your total budget was $7K (excluding spending money for food etc) what & where would you go (excluding AU, NZ or pacific islands).
    Leave April 13/14 and return April 21/22
    Must include airfares for 2, accommodation and misc costs such as tours etc
    As expected, the suggestions came in thick and fast. Recommendations include Hawaii, an Indian tour, Kathmandu and Nepal, Thailand, Israel, Los Vegas, as well as a Japanese Rykoan, which according to serfty
    can be a good experience


    It looks as though munitalP has now made up his mind
    the whole Asia thing is appealing to be honest. I was originally planning a week in KL, but am now considering perhaps BKK/HAN and a few days at Ha Long bay, a couple of days in HAN, finish the week with a day and a bit in BKKNow to find a Hilton House boat for Ha Long
    Read all the suggestions HERE. Looking forward to another quality Trip Report, Gordon!

    No lounge for me. I'll be coming directly from the CBD and don't really feel like lining Melbourne airports coffers any more than is absolutely necessary ;) Also it'll be just easier to drive to the...

    With the 787s coming on line will there be more promotion opportunities for current FOs or will Captains just change planes?

    Re: Annoying Internet plans in hotels that cap the downloads

    I got badly caught in Darwin at the IHG a while ago and got a huge bill (>$100). Never again, Hilton now gets a lot of my business and I also carry my own dongle.

    Very annoying.

    Novotel AKL airport also has the 100 Mb limit.

    I also got the email about the MEL traffic issue and responded with my flight details. A quick response from QF say that's one way to beat the traffic. :)

    Should be a great day.
