My regular travel mistake is related to me always taking a basin plug with me as they frequently are missing. I reckon I forget to put it back in my toilet bag at around once every 10 hotels. At least they are only around $3 each from Bunnings!

My mid life crisis was in 1989 at 35 with a good job in the UK. Started wondering if I was just lucky or had real skills. Emigrated to Australia with my wife and two children under 8 with no job to see if I could start again. Best decision ever not regretted it for a single day.

I would guess the Bhutan is compatable with the Indian system (it seems as though around 2/3rdsof Tourists to Bhutan are from India.) I will be finding out more in June when I am back in Bhutan and will be giving the Bank of Bhutan (BoB) app a try.

I always have heaps of spare data on my Australian SIM so never bother about data use. Travelling to Bhutan I forgot to set my Google Photos to only update on Wifi. Staying way out in the country, with no accomodation wifi. Went to bed with 50% of my local SIM data left. Woke up with only...

An interesting (frustrating) country with regards to this question is Bhutan, which is very dependant on tourism. The major form of payment is using a QR scanning software which only works with apps from either Bank of Bhutan or other Bhutanese Banks. I never found any business that took...

Could be right, I suppose it depends on why you travel. I had never been through Delhi Airport until November last year but now I have been through 4 times, and by mid June it will be 6. After the coming visit which is a transit to Bhutan I will be flying to Australia and got 2 Classic...

After horror stories about it being hard to book classic rewards I had a surprise when looking to book a Heathrow to Delhi one way flight for late May this year. All the flights offered were classic rewards! I had no problems booking 2 business class seats on KLM, Heathrow - Amsterdam -Delhi...

I had a shower last Saturday (16th Feb) the main shower was busy but I was escorted to a shower in the Gym area which was quite acceptable although I didn't get a pack with toothbrush and razor. This is the second time I have used this lounge in the last 3 months, and overall I am impressed...

I am retired and we look to do at least one long haul holiday every year. Europe and back in business you can get pretty close to retaining Qantas Gold, or half way to retaining Gold in Premium Economy. Other than that I am an overseas aid charity volunteer ( Disaster Aid Australia ) one...

I don't actually think them as a currency because they aren't that easy to transfer, and the value changes depending on how you spend them. . . but I still assign a value of $0.01 to each point. This helps me: View the opportunity to get points on a non flight purchase be the equivalent of a...

My Wife and I flew this seat when it had just been introduced and were both very happy with it. Seemed abit odd and first but we both got a great sleep. We have a cruise booked next year finishing in Scandanavia and are already planning to fly Finnair home.

Me and my wife (Both currently Gold) booked premium economy Melbourne to London (Economy to Perth followed by Premium Economy for the Perth to LHR leg). Soon after booking we applied for a points business upgrade for the Melbourne to Perth leg. Much to our surprise 70 days before travel we got...

I recently requested two complimentary passes from my ANZ Black credit card on Wednesday. They showed up on my account on Saturday morning and I immediatily transfered them to my daughter. . . they showed up in her account in a couple of hours

I got my 5000mAh power bank confiscated at Bangkok Airport all because it didn't have the capacity marked on it! It was ridiculus as it was quite apparent, just from the size, it was nowhere near 30,000mAh. Prevous to this it had gone to Delhi and back, Timor Leste and back, and even through...

A Melbourne Airport mistake is going in the multi storey car park and expecting to find a baggage trolley. They must have someone continually going round the car park and picking them up so they can put them in the pay for use machines at the terminal. It meant a 15min round trip to get a...

Classic Ship (But less than 1000 passengers) with shore excursions.

We did Antartica last year and next year are booked in with Viking in 2025 to do 29 days New York to Bergen via Greenland, Iceland and Svarlbad.

Always like to read it, and sometimes take it home. Don't fly as much now I am retired so no longer think it should be weekly. :)

Interesting that trying 'Clear Cache and Cookies' worked, but why was the site so sensitve? Using the Chrome browser, without blocking pop ups and no VPN.

The last three flights I have booked with Qantas have been through the App. I much prefer to book using the website,but each time I have tried the site refuses to show me any flights? The screen just goes black and then nothing happens First they cut the travel agents commission. . . then...
