Re the down jacket the Macpac fairydown one was a winner hubbie bought one for himself came in black so it looks quite smart and it squishes small not sure if that helps but I thought we would report back that we were impressed by it :)

I think the US is much worse again given that countries like Canada/Mexico are counted in the 90 day visa waiver we were looking at getting a visa you have to show up in person for an interview fine if you live near an embassy but I would have to go interstate China seems a good deal easier

:lol: I am on a diet atm trying to fit into a down jacket - I feel your pain husbands off tonight to buy a jacket I suspect - so if it comes home tonight I'll let you know what it looks like hes also asking for a rain jacket as well - sigh :shock:

Just noticed that MacPac has a Christmas sale on including down jackets I would be getting something like that - the base models are at about $150-$200 hope that helps - I know I will be sending my husband to by one for him - so its good that I looked :)

I hope this is OK to post we get our outdoor gear at Outdoor Clothing - Bivouac Outdoor - Bivouac Online Store comes posted from new zealand - obviously :) Not that I have anything against Anaconda/Kathmandu but I tend to see them as the Big W of outdoor wear Not a huge fan of the new...

I think it was actually more a case of not shifting them At least three people that we saw plonked themselves down after the flight took of and were not moved out. Bad form I think - I wont be buying XL seats again I can tell you :evil:

Imminent big trips always cause stress. Last minute rush to make sure everything is done before you leave. And fighting the irrational fear that you will leave your passport behind, the plane will be delayed for many many hours and you end up being diverted to a completely different city...

I would not plan on getting a gluten free meal. Bascally the hot meal they do is their standard fare and the setup is more like virgin where you buy your food on demand. Although the Asian meals might qualify - depending on if you can have rice The menu is here Welcome to AirAsia.com...now...

Well as long as they leave on time and get me there in the one piece I am happy I have done Air Asia Melbourne to KL (return) and 6 or seven internal flights with them Never had a problem I would not recommend spending the extra on the XL seats unless you are really tall - they are not...

Thats an interesting response from the customer centre Hmm I think if you recieved an upgrade, and then called the customer service centre, and if they confirmed it - you would have a pretty good argument you should stay at that level mucking up a mass e-mail is one thing. But if you have...

Well call me skeptical, but it sounds a tad fishy to me. They were VERY quick to fix the error, incorporating an image that was quite slick "friday the 13th". Seems rather efficient for a mistake. :rolleyes: So now a lot of people who are not regular users of Virgin Blue have effectively...

I think more you know the better you fare when it comes to buying travel products Mind you I don't know anywhere near enough :confused: Take for example RTW flights, even if I fly to the same city, but leave from a different airport its going to cost me a sector/segment well as far as I...

We are still umming about Longyearbyen - if the hotel up there has a good rate going we will look at again but the cost is turning us off. We were prepared to camp but looking around I think we might prefer a trip up along the Aleutian Islands We have decided to go Star Alliance, and will...

Dumb dumb question - but would it get you into other lounges (star alliance) I wonder if theres some sort of contractual arrangement for instance just a random thought ;)

Gosh :!: sounds like you are on it Good luck with the recovery - I distinctly remember a martial arts grading where a head high kick went wrong. My body moved but not my ankle - and a loud snap followed - took 6 months to rehabilitate :P I am sure you will be fine - you sound wiser than...

I so want to say pyjamas here... um did i say that out loud :oops: yep I did! :p

mm i dont have much experience in travelling long haul - so I can only compare this to a Melbourne to KL flight (about the same duration). Im a portly lady, so such things are an issue. But I noticed on a day time flight I was happy to roam around, stretch and the like. Id say take a good...

I think this thread is interesting It actually reminds me of the Virgin lounges, although I think its gone the other way Breakfast there in Sydney about 6 months ago was continental breakfast + all the hot toast you could eat. And after smiling at the person serving she rustled up some...

Well I have trawled through many flyertalk posts and it seems like the zurich-new york with Swiss is on the new planes (at least for some of them) Can anyone else give an opinion on Swiss vs United - It looks like when swiss are good they are really good, but when they are bad its not pretty...

Wow thats awesome to know - Zurich was actually where we wanted to go (Alpine Express Train). Its actually Zurich to Washington - that might actually help with taxes too (maybe?) and its a route http://www.suitedreams.united.com/ Hmm that sounds like a winner then?
