On narrow body only routes I just fly Virgin Economy X.

New CEO clearing out non-core distractions. Perth Airport had been a long running pointless waste of effort - especially given the location of the “new” airport train station and everyone else being on the other side of the runway. Alliance Airlines takeover and China Eastern codeshare dropped...

BTW - for those that didn't know - CPAP was invented by an Australian. Professor Colin Sullivan at the University of Sydney. I understand he is still teaching - he's in his 70's. It's what the "S" stands for in the Resmed model naming system. So probably no real coincidence that QF know the...

Tromso? I don't think there is a train service there. Were you thinking Trondheim??

Every second Flytoget (Airport Train) continues on past Oslo Central. You can always go one extra stop (no extra cost) and get off at National Theatre. This is one end of town where the National Theatre, National Museum, Royal Palace, etc are located. From this end of town you can walk back...

Hi amaroo, I spent a few days in Tromso back at the start of November, 2013. This was late autumn, the footpaths were icy, with light snow falling. Days were very short but not too cold - I was wearing a standard business suit with a woollen vest and a gortex jacket. In Tromso the sun sets in...

Hi amaroo, Apologies - haven't had time to respond. To state the obvious - in January it will be cold. Bergen is milder than Oslo but I would expect it to be zero on average. There will be lots and lots of snow to see and not much daylight each day. Someone from our office is currently in...

I've only been to Tromso in November, i.e. late autumn. There of course may be cancellations due to weather, but more importantly delays due to de-icing of aircraft. I assume for the SAS (Star Alliance) and Finnair (Oneworld) itinerary you are proposing two separate bookings so your luggage...

Shame, I missed out last month! Thanks ChipChip.

Linen and anything bolted down - no. Remotes - no Batteries in remotes - definitely no and very annoying for the next guest Any toiletries in glass or ceramic bottles - no - and who wants to risk glass in luggage anyway. Likewise with the drinking glasses. Bottle openers - no - especially if...

Hi ChipChip, I didn't think there were any lounges at KLIA2, let alone one for ANZ Black Rewards? There is none at all for Malaysia on the current ANZ Black Rewards list of airports.

Had my first female UberX driver over the weekend. I did ask her if there were many female drivers and she said there were so many Uber drivers in Perth that she didn't know. I've never had to wait more than about 5 minutes in Perth for one. They recently dropped their fares here. Most drivers...

Individual hotels are responsible for their own listings on lastminute.com. So if it's the same listing it should be the same hotel you are booking / re-booking. If making two bookings for consecutive nights email the hotel and advise them so they arrange for you to be in the same room for the...

Delete the "supposed to be". In terms of cost Norway is the most expensive, then Sweden, then Denmark (generally speaking). a1ring23 - if you have any specific questions please ask - otherwise I'll ramble on.....what's your preferences - cities or landscapes? If it's just cities you can get by...

I 've used mystery rooms quite often on lastminute.com. Usually you can work out which hotel it is with a reasonable degree of confidence and save reasonable $$$. It does take time and effort - so it depends on if you enjoy the hunt or not. Often the hotel will list under it's name - but be...
