    What's SriLankan Airlines like today? MEL-CMB-LHR return on UL in Business Class.

    Very comprehensive thankyou - I have flown that route twice this year (and 4 times in prior years CDG FRA open jaw etc) and can add the following FWIW - you can email UL and have the CMB stopover hotel confirmed in advance ( you still have to go through the circus at the airport to get all the...

    Point Hacks' purchase of AFF

    Wondered why there was never a Kieth mentioned in recent years, the transition from a group of like minded enthusiasts to the monetisation of a web site/s is inevitable. As mentioned previously, on whatever site/s, why would anyone be happy to promote skills and techniques developed over...

    Article: Europe Doesn’t Recognise Australian Vaccination Certificates

    Prob should say, I will also travel with full medical history showing all vax and infection and recovery (it’s a pretty smart thing to have anyway if you travel) and the communication from gov about my positive result. Not at all concerned….. unless I get reinfected😳

    Article: Why Keep Booking with Airlines that Screw You Over?

    😂 it’s relative, really . But re service, to my mind there are two things running in parallel, massive demand on call centre resources due to Covid cancellations and at the same airlines trying to save every cent - add all of that to the latest technology that allows you to use no humans to...

Now to be fair I may have my wires crossed ( i sometimes do) but to...

    Article: Why Keep Booking with Airlines that Screw You Over?

    true, but I was told after online cancellation, you had to ring the call center to confirm the refund - i might n=be wrong , but... bottom line - the airlines make it hard to get your money back
