But if you've got more than a short layover, then the AA Flagship Lounges are excellent, and for that you need to be flying AA First, or be OneWorld Emerald.

In case of problem, take a copy of the Marriage Certificate provided at your marriage ceremony, or if sometime after the marriage then get a copy of your Marriage Certificate from your state registry. Just in case. I have a copy of our marriage certificate in my phone, for my wife hasn't...

Re: What the best seat(s) to choose in First class on A380? I haven't had this experience in F (yet), but it's yet another justification for bringing your own iPad or similar with a bunch of movies you'd like to watch. Additionally, my iPad's 2kb x 1.5kb screen resolution is far higher IMHO...

She'd need to ensure that they're allocated seat 5A, as this is the only seat in F that has a bassinet.

Seriously consider starting your trip in Belfast and departing from Dublin. Belfast has an extraordinary social history, as we all know. The violence has ended, and it is now very safe for tourists. The best thing on offer is a "Black Cab tour of the Troubles" areas, where a regular cabbie...

The Westbury hotel in Dublin is a great hotel - I've stayed there several times and enjoy it each time. Their housekeeping staff must be the best I've ever experienced, all staff are keen to say Hi as you pass them in a corridor, and they're all very relaxed and helpful. The location is also...

Stardock doesn't turn Win 8 into Win 7, but it does give you the traditional Start Menu. It costs just $5, and it's simple to install. It lets you enjoy all the other benefits of Win 8 that most users aren't aware of.

I'm lucky to have been to Bryce Canyon in both Summer and Winter. Take your walking boots for it's an easy matter to get right down into the canyon in 20-30 mins in summer. My first visit there was in Summer and in the Visitor Centre I saw the photos of it in Winter, with all the snow around...

They were just saving a few for special people!

My first tip is to get a good seat, and you should be able to select that now. IMHO the seats in A are the best - better privacy, dedicated overhead bins for A seats only, and less foot traffic in the aisle. The other two "rows" of seats share both an aisle and overhead bins. You can then...

I accept other people's feelings about whether to donate their own organs after their death. But I have serious problems in other people having the right of veto over my formal declaration to donate my organs after death.

It doesn't seem right to me that I can carefully consider what I want to happen to my body during my life and after my life, including the choice of burial or cremation, but my carefully considered choice of organ donation can be over-ridden by someone in my family. I can sign a government form...

If your preference is a pack, then go to some outdoor shops such as Paddy Pallin or Mountain Designs, and look for a daypack by volume. You'd probably be looking for a 25-35 litre pack that is within the size limits of 56 x 36 x 23, or at least one that can squash into those dimensions when...

I'd say that the solution is with your handbag. And I wouldn't be troubled about putting 8kg in your backpack. And how about replacing the bulky headphones with some good quality earbuds, some of which are also noise-cancelling such as the Bose QC20.

Whilst not a response to the OP's specific question, there are various commercial Concierge services at a number of international airports around the world, including SYD & LHR. IIRC, they charge about $150 or more and will meet you, assist with luggage, and accompany you through all stages as...

Same with me. I leave the Lounge at least 30 mins before departure, and 40 mins if International. To rely on seeing workers moving around the plane as an indication of its departure time is unwise. In fact, I like to board early so that I have a decent chance of finding space in the overhead...

You can upgrade from Y to either Y+ or J but not to F. And I suspect that you can't upgrade from Y+ to F. And flying on a Wednesday probably gives you more chances of an upgrade, on the assumption that most business people travel either at the start or the end of the week.

I've made excellent use of the A380 Lounge on one occasion. Last year I was travelling SYD-LHR with some cousins. I was in F, they in Y. After the meal service I asked the FA in F if I could invite a family member from Y to the Lounge. The response was yes and that she'd get us a drink, and...

I had 1A on QF1 a few days ago SYD-LHR, and there were no sounds from the toilet. I checked and the toilet seat is relatively soft closing, but the heavier toilet lid will fall down if dropped and make a little noise. In other words, you won't hear anything from the toilet once the toilet door...

I'm with you Fiona - A is for the A-team, for several reasons. I'm in 1A tomorrow on QF1 and 5A next month. I've always enjoyed 5A with its little extra shelf, so I'll report back then on any noise in 1A.
