Hmmm, I might consider spending 15 hours in Y if someone is paying me $750, who's offering that?

@elanshin are Y+ seats more readily available? Only asking because of what I said earlier - if you can get daytime flights then a lie-flat isn't super relevant, Y+ seats seem comfy enough for a ~9hr flight, JAL & ANA have J Lounge access in Y+, and J airline food isn't worth paying extra for...

How much closer to now did you check? I think what you probably need to know, from those who have a clue (unlike me), is when you'd see a release of award fares for the relevant airlines for a Sep 2026 flight ... ? As I think you're thinking, 'tis prolly a wee bit early. Speaking of airlines...

It’s much bigger news that the Trump regime has deployed the military against a few protesters than the protesters themselves are … as a tourist you’re going to be in WAY less danger than you are if you look like media.

They LIKE their journalists being targeted by authorities in retaliation for reporting on what the authorities are up to! The Channel 9 reporter caught on TV apparently isn't the only one. Looks like the Trump regime fully intends to escalate this, they're sending a coupla thousand Marines to...

This gels with what little experience I've had in the same area ... while at school & Uni I had a part-time job working for one of Mum & Dad's friends, this was during the initial rise of Pauline Hanson. He & his wife have Chinese background, and family in both Singapore & Hong Kong were on the...

Any chance the airline running those flights does an all-economy cabin on those routes?

Very much being not-an-expert myself, the ~$750 for Scoot, return from Sydney, looks like something that won't get appreciably cheaper even should a sale pop-up. If you saved a couple of hundred on that fare, do you care that much about a couple of hundred? (I mean yeah it's money that could...

^ I got that one from Manila last week, too! Was surprised +63 is Philippines, for some reason, I knew +64 is NZ and +62 is Indonesia so I expected the codes to be in a more geographical order …

I think over the last 20+ years the FF programs have become too lucrative to wind it back to something that's only directly linked to travel ... didn't I read around here (a while back) that QF makes more outta the FF scheme than any other single chunk of their business?

Maybe with everywhere else, a safe way to avoid breaking the local rules is to do what the locals are doing? :)

In case it helps … Santa uses snow-white kangaroos (“boomers”) in Oz to pull the sleigh, Oz is close to the international date-line so he does here pretty early in the piece; they’re all tuckered out pulling a sleigh mid-summer, so he switches over to reindeer after finishing with Perth. Hope...

Pricing tends to appear different in different countries ... I tried using my browser in Private Mode but the numbers still appeared in AUD so the prices are probably still Australia-targeted. However I just tried using Google Flights, with trip dates spanning mid December to mid January, and...

Woah ... oops! That'll learn me not to just look at the timing on the message or two prior to mine!! Where did she manage to find fares over 28 months ahead of the travel time?!?!

Depending on what time she's arriving vs train frequency, there may be less schlepping (of bags) involved if she stays in the city at one of the hotels very close to Roma Street or Central? Just a thought, 'cos the station's attached to the terminal & people in this thread who know better than...

While I think it’s unlikely an Italian government agency has sold the debt in this way, my wife had problems with two debt collection agencies after someone ran a red light & put her in hospital for 3 months. He claimed to his insurer that he was not at fault, they took my wife (represented by...

They might also have bought the debt? Seems odd to buy that debt off a government agency, but then, it is Italy …

This! They tried to “upgrade” us to a VW Caravelle in Nice … we rejected, waited ‘til the next day to get a Golf … which was so tight in the parking space I had to crawl out the tailgate after parking. No way the 8-seater van would have fit!!

Can you wait ‘til the 6-month-ish point? I know I’m terrible with having to wait for anything that leaves unknowns hanging over my head …

I think it’s a bit early for sale fares that’re quite so heavily discounted to be released yet, isn’t it? Cheapest on Google Flights (really quick search) is $1400 on Untied.
