    Booking a flight for an unborn baby

    Congratulations on your soon new arrival! For the booking part for your infant - while it may seem like sensible forward thinking - common sense would say to wait until after the baby is born and the appropriate registration/documentation is done.

    B737 Waterbomber crashes in south of W.A. Both pilots said to be not seriously injured but in hospital.

    I can see that. I'm looking for the complete flight, not a screenshot. Never mind, others have posted more info.

    24 hours in Kuala Lumpur

    If your luggage doesn't get checked through (I agree that the 26 hour connection could be an issue) or you don't have a lot of luggage - then there's always the KL Ekspres high speed train to get to the KL Sentral city centre (28 minutes) There's Aloft, Hilton and Le Meridien hotels at the city...

    24 hours in Kuala Lumpur

    A bit more info might help for a reply. What sort of things do you like to do or see? Are there particular hotel brands you prefer? Budget? Are you a family group or couple or? Re the visa, assuming you're Australian, then no visa is necessary, you'll be given a visa exemption to enter...

    Australian Airports you have landed at or taken off from.

    I'm also in the same boat as a private pilot in both fixed wing powered and glider aircraft. I'd be up in the low hundreds, so too numerous to list. I've also had a lot of time in amphibious aircraft (ie floatplanes) so could list a few unusual "airports" such as the waters in the Montebello...

    Best Way from BKK airport to Sukhumvit

    Ignore the AOT limousine touts as you come through the Arrivals level doors. Head one level down to Level 1 - where the public taxi counter is. Join the queue, request a taxi to your destination, and receive a voucher. There will be a Airport surcharge of 50 baht on top of the meter fare and...

    Vietjet

    Row 1 is fine on Thai VietJet, any of the first few rows in the Skyboss section really. If I've booked row 1 and every other seat in that Row is taken, if there's more empty seats in Row 2 or 3 I'll often shift. Domestic flights are never too long to get uncomfortable in Thailand, although...

    Travelling experiences with armed soldiers and guards

    As some of you are already aware - I have been based in SE Asia for many years, and mostly in Myanmar since 1999. After the last 10 years of the country looking like it was finally getting to be a mostly democratic nation - the army decided it wanted back in last year and we experienced the...

    What was your first flight?

    I remember the pin badge too - it was like a set of pilot wings if I remember correctly - I had a few of them when I was very young (late 70's-early 80's)

    What was your first flight?

    Loving this thread so far - have given a like or <3 to every post. First airline passenger flight I VAGUELY remember was in the late seventies as a child - top deck of a South African Airways (Suid Afrikaanse Lugdiens my first foray in to learning Afrikaans) the smell of cigarettes stank but I...
