yeah, quite unpredictable. just today, i booked a TG (intra-Asia) trip. the same flights were not showing on United or aeroplan, so i was fully expecting the redemption to fail. but it went through.

likely phantom availability. you can check using other airlines, eg United, to confirm.

No problems Their app is a bit strange though. Data routed through Hong Kong

Only used them for thailand. 3gb 15 days for USD2.

Anyone has any recent experience with setting up wechat/ alipay? (as a foreign visitor to China) I was able to set up Alipay, and linking an Aust credit card to it. But I did not have to verify my passport. Just wondering if there is a step missing, cos someone mentioned needing to verify passport.

please report back if it works!

anyone notice their new passport covers are curling and not sitting flat?

does the app tell you something has changed? or do you have to compare and check the flight times?

what would be the best way to keep track of flight time changes? with my lifemiles booking on Thai, I don't expect Thai will be sending me notifications? I tried to add my contact details on the Thai website, but that field is locked.

I recently did an award booking on Lifemiles. I seem to recall previously when I did so, I received an email with the booking details/ticket number etc. However with this booking, I only received an email with the booking reference. Going on the Thai website, I could log in/ manage booking...

Sometimes I do that too, but i have a tiny phobia about other people accessing their bag above my head and then accidentally dropping their bag on me!

I wonder why the cabin crew often have a lot of luggage. I imagine most of them are in some kind of import/export business arrangements!

I am not sure that they are any better than any other decent quality luggage. The polycarbonate ones definitely do crack. Their wheels are not the quietest. Even if they are covered by warranty, what about the turn around time. What happens when you are in the middle of a trip?

perhaps not many people are lucky enough to be that flexible with their plans and time.
