    Hotel Canberra (A Park Hyatt)

    Re: The view from my "office" I often stay at this hotel and I must say that I find the dining options to be really below par for a hotel of this quality.

    Japan - hotels ?

    Just wanted to thank everyone for their input. Sadly, given the very short timetable I set, I am not going to able to do it. The hotel prices when combined with the flights were outside what I consider to be high but acceptable. Oh well. The information provided though was so helpful it has made...

    Japan - hotels ?

    Thanks JFI. How often do the trains come (is it subway etc?). If I was out on the tiles could I get back reasonably easy? As I imagine a taxi would break the bank post 12 midnight. The QF is sitting at 1750 which is way over the odds for this route so need to make a hard call. I know I left...

    Japan - hotels ?

    Last minute trip to Japan on the cards. Last minute as in leaving Friday. Flights are expensive for Japan but I can live with that. But hotels are a huge huge problem. I usually stay in the Hyatt chain and they are coming in at over $1000 a night. I looked at SPG and Marriott and not much...

    No [SQ SYD] International Lounge Access on 17 March

    Ceres. That's shocking. It is a bit of a mess. I had to carefully study the guide to work out which lounge to turn up at for access.

    Christmas Flight Ideas

    Still on the hunt. Focussed on Singapore. Has anyone flown Scoot? Another option is direct to Sin with QF and then Singapore to Jakarta with Jetstar and then home with Qantas. The Jetstar options stops in Darwin for 5 hours before moving on which is just stupid so that is out. Darwin for 5...

    Have you Stuck with QF?

    I have done a fair bit of flying recently for work. Domestic Y. Syd to Cbr has been a frequent route. I complained previous about the cancellations on this route. The last time I flew both my trip down and trip back were cancelled. I had to fight tooth and nail to get on a flight that would get...

    Have you Stuck with QF?

    I can vouch for what flying mermaid is saying about CBR. I have had to fly there a bit for work lately and cancellations are common. I shifted to VA for a while and found the same.
