Thank you very much for the kind words. I am now somewhat exhausted and still have the event to go through but at least the travel stresses are removed I made sure to give them feedback and will also on Tripadvisor. So easy to complain when things go wrong but not react when the opposite occurs

Update: almost unbelievably I’ve been on live chat with SA. They have rebooked my leg, exactly as I asked, without moving anything else, and have not charged me a penny for it. I have to send the death certificate which is entirely reasonable. And that’s it Thanks for all the suggestions and...

Thank you for so many quick replies and a link to an interesting if dispiriting related experience. This forum is the best

Well it might not be the answer but I can’t believe I haven’t yet looked into that. Many thanks will do!

Hi team, perhaps someone can help: I’m on a family vacation booked through Luxury Escapes to Vietnam and Cambodia. LE also booked our flights with Singapore Airlines and even before we left we knew they were non refundable and non changeable As we got an excellent price. We’re now halfway...

Many thanks. I work for SYDT so typed it by habit. Of course I meant Kingsford-Smith!

We headed to Singapore as a family of four from SYDT on Wednesday 7th September. 4pm departure. What's a sensible time to arrive at the airport these days?

It's not a face diaper it's a face mask. It won't kill you to wear one but it might help someone else from becoming seriously ill, or worse. Don't expect to be taken seriously if you can't discuss this issue like an adult. 1661732737 Oh and I just flew yesterday from Manchester to Sydney via...

I jumped on on Monday and booked for $4,300. I looked yesterday and they'd gone up to $5,600 !! Checked this morning and back down to $4,800 - crazy times

I'm in Sydney. Have to fly to UK at short notice so I need a return ticket. Must be there by Sunday afternoon 21st August 2022. Must leave on 27th August to come back. Can be Manchester Birmingham or London but must return to Sydney. Price are around AU$4K right now so pretty steep, and...

Thanks! We are triple-vaxxed, and the kids are double-vaxxed. And we all have covid right now with mild symptoms, so that is probably pretty well-timed; all out of iso by next week

Headed to the UK in two weeks - 9pm flight with Emirates to Dubai. Any tips on when we should get there? Other tips on making the experience any less arduous? Will be myself plus wife plus two boys 8 and 10. Many thanks everyone; hopefully it has settled down a little after the holidays

Two adults two children for a 9pm Emirates flight - we plan to arrive no later than 6pm. Is this likely to be enough time? Any other tips or things to expect? My wife is quite anxious about a long-haul after so much covid; anything else you can suggest to make the experience any more...

Hi folks, I'm thinking of paying AU$70 per person for a bulkhead seat for my family - four of us so we'd have the whole middle row. It's a long flight - Sydney to Dubai Not asking for views on value - we all have our own views, though feel free to chime in. However, can anyone advise if the...

Wow this looks great. It kind of implies that the seatback TV is available on 'all' flights; how can I be sure of that? Either way thanks very much for the information
