Yup. Had a transit through SIN a few months ago, arriving from Yangon (RGN) to Changi on MNA (UB/UBA) and then next flight on Sri Lankan Airlines (UL/ALK) on totally different PNR's/bookings. Asked UB staff on check in at RGN but no joy on getting PNR's married or through-checked baggage UB...

Loving this post @swanning_it It made me dig out my old pics of a mate and I doing the "Great Singapore Rickshaw Race from Raffles to Chinatown", circa 2005. Too shy to post hahahaha.... (I WON)

I feel for you @Cappuccino99 ! Just had a month up here where the boss and a colleague got together. AWKWARDDDD (in the usual high pitched voice required for that statement)

Good post really. From another perspective besides legroom - the aggregate weight must be substantial and add considerably to the operating costs from a fuel consideration surely?

Being based in SE Asia, and generally close to the equator - I've often wondered on cabin temps. Oddly enough we seem to get the worst of it prior to and just after departure - understandably, given boarding in a hot and humid climate. The overhead fans are always needed, I'm always drowning in...

:D:D:p:p Statistically, I think you may be correct there!

If I put my life down, even in point form, nobody would believe me

Curious to hear an explanation as to how the other passengers treated you in a demeaning way in F And also how you came to the conclusion they somehow knew you had upgraded with points, and how you got the impression they saw you as an interloper here. What were the issues with the service?

I am going to go out on a limb here and guess that Alan Joyce won't be getting one of the 5 up for grabs! (shame I am not someone who would be considered either a long time or prolific poster given my location, or I would put my hat in the ring against him ;)) Glad to hear it was a successful...

Not deceptive, perhaps a couple of words should have been included for this particular country Clearly says "not included in price" and follows with the various local taxes which Agoda is not permitted to charge for that locale Probably should have added the words "plus the above local taxes...

We're kind of spoiled up here in SE Asia for choice when it comes to having a number of airports which will happily allow all day check in (HKG, BKK, SIN, KUL - airline dependent and usually legacy carriers, but very flexible) Always wondered why MEL couldn't do this, some posts above have now...

Excellent point on the luggage storage!

Yup @RooFlyer - I'd be happy to pitch in for tips on some of the SE Asian destinations such as KUL etc

Archphoto - I've been checking in filming and photographic gear in Pelican cases for many years, with the proper foam inserts, including on some very dodgy regional airlines in SE Asia - and have yet to have something broken. Its the reason I trust the Pelican cases. Its impossible for me to...

Off topic - why two tablets AND an e-reader? Question is nothing to do with weight, just curiosity :)

Nice idea, but often the hotels I am booking are in a country and city I may not have traveled to before - and that can trigger some even more colourful accents!

For CMB, your flight is at 08.25 with the flag carrier, & traffic won't be bad earlier that morning so I'd suggest as long as you're at the airport 2 hours + prior to departure, you're fine For Kolkata - no idea, but expect it to be way busier? Hopefully you'll get some anecdotal evidence

Not a regular user, but I did come back from CMB last week. We had a mid-week, 11.10am departure. Everyone told us 3 hours prior for check in except our office manager in Colombo who said 2 hours was plenty We hedged our bets and arrived at the airport at 08.50 In the end it took between...

Agreed, unfortunately for the OP, jumping the gun on what may or may not happen with QF's scheduled flight from HNL was pre-empted

Matt - typo in your newsletter article "of any other airline that charges Premium Econmy "
