Last month I took the fifth freedom day flight from SIN-MEL in J with TK. I had heard good things about TK, but it felt a little underwhelming. The beef was quite tender, so that was a plus.

There are numerous airports that don't have pre-clearance. YTZ (Toronto Billy Bishop) has a range of US flights ( I think 8-9 a day to Newark, for example) although preclearance is supposed to begin operation this year. Others that come to mind include Regina, Saskatoon, Quebec City, St Johns.

SQ operate the Melbourne lounge specifically to serve the flights it operates out of Melbourne. In addition to my post above, I have taken SQ 248 previously and it was open. Typically the lounge opens 3 hrs before departure and closes ~ 30 mins before departure (except for SQ 228/208 which...

As someone who has been living outside Australia for 16 years but returns frequently there are two fundamental changes I’ve noticed to the very character of Austrakia than before I left. One of those is the infiltration of gambling money - particularly advertising which is so insidious . It...

Remember that airport has nothing to do with flying, it derives from the Latin word for “charge lots of money because you can”.

The lounge will open for SQ248. I suspect they just haven’t updated the website as the service runs only some times of the year (for example it didn’t operate from 12-25 March). Last year it definitely showed it was open for the flight when it was running (as per the web archive, but I can’t...

As always, buyer beware. Some policies explicitly exclude anything deemed “fault of the airline” (mechanical delays, crew shortage etc). But are good for weather, ATC delays, substation fires etc).

If this proceeds will it be the first regular scheduled service between Cebu and Australia? I can’t remember from too long ago, but IIRC PAL and Cebu Pacific have only ever operated between MNL and Australia.

It's not just a generation thing. There's a whole tribe of people so far down rabbit holes, that any attempt to prevent them from doing from whatever they want (regardless of impact on others), is an infringement of their civil liberties and freedoms.

Not always with pre booked seats or full trains. But there are other options - particularly if you have a rail pass - recently on a full international train service we had someone opposite us start a face time call and simultaneously the person next to us start watching videos, both on...

Not just on planes but in life as well, we see this sort of person in the public eye every day. But don’t worry, kharma will catch up with them eventually

Enjoy (assuming you are still in F). The day time services to Europe offer a much better chance to enjoy the full F experience without the compelling need to get some sleep.

Looks like passengers on BA12 from SIN and BA16 from SYD/SIN hit the jackpot - diverting to LGW.

We were originally booked on Etihad to reach LHR this afternoon. About 3 weeks ago we cancelled the trip. 😮‍💨 I'm glad we did now.

The food thing is just an excuse. Whilst it’s extremely easy to find cheesy fatty food, it’s not difficult to find good quality delicious food as well. Had plenty of enjoyable food, from Cajun in New Orleans, other good southern fare in Mississippi and Savannah and a diverse range of all...

Not necessarily (losing 20 mins that is.). We did this trick when travelling to Earls Court (West Brompton on overground was closest to the hotel), and quickest way was changing at East Croydon. Didn’t take barely a minute to tap off and tap on with a different card, which meant the same train...

No. A lounge run. 🤣 Originally hidden city ticketing (saved us $300+ each), were going to ditch the SIN-KUL sector altogether. However, we found a 20 hour layover in SIN (where we live) and $40 fare KUL-SIN, we decided to take the sector for a late afternoon/evening in the F lounge...

Just booked two separate bookings at KUL, with 60 minutes between the first flight arriving and the second departing. Both with Scoot and HLO. Not terribly worried - as long as OLCI works - even if the first flight is substantially delayed, I am fairly confident the second one will be delayed...

The job of whoever checked you in at your point of origin and the TSA (particularly for foreigners who don't have US ID document).

Reminds me of when we used our Priority Pass at MEL last month (we each had two passes expiring mid Feb), we used 2 of those at the Cafe Sol, airside in the international terminal, with $35 credit each. So we got some lunch for the next day , including a Chicken Schnitzel roll (I think it...
