It's a fantastic fan! My assumption would be to get a step-down transformer of sufficient wattage mounted above the ceiling.

What's your destination? In my experience, it's not your responsibility to inform them of flight delays. They should be watching out for any delays.

My strategy in likely pick-pocket cities is to put a old decoy wallet in my back pocket with around $5 or equivalent in local currency, along with some expired cards etc. This allows them to take the wallet with less risk of assault. My real money supply and cards will be stuffed down inside...

There's little value in trying to enter the UK via Ireland. Entry to the Republic of Ireland automatically gives one entry to Northern Ireland, for there are no border controls between the two countries, and it's then a domestic flight to England. So, entry to the ROI either direct or via LHR...

You should declare such items on your return if they're worth more than $900, but if you don't then Customs are unlikely to be aware that you got a GST refund on your departure unless they decide for some other reason to do a full inspection and audit of your luggage etc. Always remove...

I gave up using the 12 hours Qantas access to PressReader. I go to my local library in Sydney and get 7 days access from home. Most libraries in Newcastle are PressReader Hotspots. Have a look in the PressReader Menu for HotSpot Map.

I've been to Gallipoli once in July 2013, and it was an extremely peaceful experience, what I would expect of wandering through a series of small cemeteries that are sacred to the history of Australia. Whilst I readily accept that many people enjoy going to the Anzac Day services at...

Do you need to change your default currency to GBP on the QCC website?

Ensure that you access the PressReader app via the option in the Qantas App. But the better option is to go to a local library that provides free access to PressReader.

Here's a few tips from my experience of using PressReader in case it helps someone: PressReader is ideal for the iPad Pro. I wouldn't even try to use it on an iPhone to read a newspaper. I've only downloaded the one version and it works perfectly on my iPad Pro, and there's no x1 or x2...

Yup, I'd agree.

Are you referring to the Lake Agnes Tea House? It's only open June-October, but a charming walk up a hill to a remote tea house where there is no power and limited facilities. Highly recommended in Summer. Lake Agnes - Index There's also the Plain of Six Glaciers Tea House, but it's a longer...

Lithium batteries are inherently dangerous, or at the least risky, yet airlines are quite happy to fly the 787 with its large Lithium battery packs directly under the coughpit and near the rear of the plane. Apparently they now consider them to be safe, for they've now installed a tube, a...

The weather forecasts for Lake Louise are now considerably colder than what you posted a few days ago. Whilst your forecast had minimums in the minus mid-teens, they're now forecasting mins in the minus mid-twenties. Either you're well prepared with extreme clothing, or will only venture out...

The Canadian Rockies are a wonderful place, and I've been there several times during summer. My favourite places there are Lake O'Hara with its wonderful lodge and walking trails, the remote tea-houses at Lake Louise, the colour of the water at Peyto Lake, and Emerald Lake. I'd love to go...

Your idea just won't work. The TRS is airside, so only hand luggage sized items can be taken into the TRS, and they insist on sighting the item being claimed.

Re: An Airbus A321 missing in Egypt (~200 on board) It was probably someone's ring-tone on their phone. This was apparently a high-velocity impact, not what you'd describe as a crash-landing.

The reds at Pikes are excellent Fiona, IMHO.

I was in Japan for 2 weeks last year and before I left I ordered a SIM online from eConnect, and it was posted to my hotel for collection when I checked in. It worked immediately in my iPhone 5. It was a data-only SIM, so any voice calls I needed to make when away from hotel Wi-Fi I simply...

It took them 6 MONTHS after joining for them to send me the two complimentary QC passes. I called St George several times 3 months ago, and the responses were pretty poor, either claiming that they'd been sent, that they were now in the mail, or that it'll be another two weeks. It's not that I...
