Just got back from Sri Lanka. Got a bunch of crisp, new, shiny 20 rupee notes. I'm in too.

True and correct thinking, but my thoughts are getting it in the media/on the net gives it more transparency Nobody can come back and say it was kept secret for clandestine reasons

ahh you just pipped me then - I offered 245, but they said they had more cashed up interested parties

Myanmar (or Burma if you wish), circa 1999 UB (Myanma Airways, the OLD airline) Fokker 27, all pax on board, RGN-MGZ scheduled flight. Waiting for 2 generals and 3 monks One monk didn't make it, he was the main Sayadaw (head Phongyi/monk) for a blessing ceremony down in Myeik where we were due...

What happened to the computer that informs them of faults with the computer that informs them of faults?

Only just spotted this on FT, but posting it out of interest.. Bhutan-Australia Friendship Offer | Tourism Council of Bhutan Says 2017 at the start of the article, but its for June-August 2018

My post was more on the tongue-in-cheek side, rather than a serious suggestion that everyone gets stuck into their booze from the jetway to their seat....

I propose that harvyk's grandfather's security guard be in charge of all future regulations regarding the carrying of duty free alcohol on board international flights. Most sense yet

Mentally flipped him the bird, brilliant. Must remember this for future

My thoughts are that unfortunately this will be a USD$162 lesson for you. Lesson here - if you have two different priority passes, make sure you've got the correct one on your app. Doubt you have any avenue to refund or recompense on this.

Present of FIFA has already reached out to the Thailand Football body and has officially extended an invitation to fly the boys and their coach to Russia for the World Cup final next weekend.

True. But I look at it as exercise nowadays (I don't get out much) Okay, in full disclosure if I can't be Ars*d walking I'll flag down the courtesy buggy and jump on that to get across the Sky Bridge :(

If you depart one country and transit another - the security systems will vary. The arriving country airport has every right to make you go through an additional security at their airport which adheres to their requirements. Can't see what the issue here is. Just need to accept it as a part...

Well, it didn't last too long. MNA ceased their Yangon-coughet-Yangon flights a couple of weeks back, citing poor sales and the low season as the reason. MNA drops coughet flight | TTR Weekly They have re-applied for the route from October, but oddly enough there is availability showing from...

Belt and shoes (especially shoes) is certainly inconsistent - I always remove belt ahead of approaching security, but leave my shoes on. Lately have refused to remove my lace up shoes (mostly SE Asian airports) as it is a pain in the a$$ to put them back on again (tall and fat ^__^ ) Haven't...

BKK gets a lot of negative reviews on the local forums here in Thailand and SE Asia. Most complaints are exaggerations about the Immigration waiting time (I am still yet to experience the hours of waiting constantly posted. Any queue seems to make the waiting time suddenly triple in people's...

Can't understand this analogy either. Airport security is a given. And it may happen twice in some airports. Hard to see it as a kick in the family jewels? (then again we didn't have a lot of jewellery in my family. Oh, wait..)

Difference between hating a new airport and managing it, the first time you arrive (IMHO)? Research. Like any other travel nerd here, I do my research before transiting/arriving at a new airport. My first experience at Dubai was much better because I had done the following before flying - and...

KLIA2 opened in mid 2014 - and its always been very well signed I wonder if you're thinking of the old LCCT perhaps.

This isn't my experience with AirAsia at all, certainly not at KLIA2 (their main hub) Main screens both before and after security show "Gate Open" and "Boarding" & "FINAL CALL" and CLOSED and there is another dedicated screen at the Gate itself showing flight number destination and whether the...
