    Not every VA 737 has power outlets in J. Be very aware of that.

    The introverts go to Noumea

    I wouldn't worry about the lounge, the airport is dead quiet during that time, unless you really want to ... enjoy refreshments :) Another supermarket fiend, welcome! Check out the following with regards to the buses: https://www.newcaledonia.travel/au/transport-services Isle of Pines is...

    Bonza Airline Discussion

    If you had the (edit - Android) app installed in the past, you need to uninstall it and download the latest version - it doesn't update. How hard could it have been for them to allow bookings on a website? Then again, I suspect they don't want scrapers checking their inventory. Or they're just...

    True, but they'll want to soft-launch operations to get everything bedded down, etc. Better to SNAFU 20 people with a clue than 188 people who think they own the airline as they paid $99 to go somewhere.

    Accessing Qantas lounge hack in Singapore without QF/JQ flight?

    Singapore isn't a good country in which to become a criminal.

    As a passenger, that'd be a gamble thanks to the quality of traffic flow on the Bruce Highway.

    Their vernacular does my head in. It's all so cringey. I wonder if they'll all be calling each other "legends" internally during their first SNAFU.

    The introverts go to Noumea

    Thanks. I should probably edit some of my writing for clarity. Anyhow, there's much more than just the city and Anse Vata. Once you drive out of the CBD, the driving is very easy and can be fast. You can self-cater very well even only with basic cutlery and a fridge. I am now hungry just...

    The introverts go to Noumea

    So we arrived back to Brisbane, which was quite busy and had a laugh with Border Force over all our foodstuffs in the suitcase. By declaring it all they were fine and no issues at all. Would we return? Yes, we've already booked tickets for July. And I have some restaurants to visit next time as...

    The introverts go to Noumea

    So it's departure Saturday and QF want you at the airport at T-3 hours. Working backwards from this we visited out patisserie one more time, the hypermarket, back home for the bags then a picnic, finally arriving at the airport in plenty of time. The bus stop at the airport is next to the car...

    The introverts go to Noumea

    The next day we felt like giving the little C3 a flogging and seeing the countryside, so we drove out to Fort Teremba. https://www.fort-teremba.com/le-fort It is a very early example of activities, and contains an informative museum about the early colonial shenanigans - you can learn...

    The introverts go to Noumea

    Ok, Wednesday. I booked a trip out to Amedee Island, to visit the lighthouse and swim with the turtles. It is a small island, but a nice day. https://amedeeisland.com/ There is a vintage lighthouse from the 1800s, and you can walk up to the top. It was constructed in France, disassembled...

    The introverts go to Noumea

    On the way home from the river we stopped in at another supermarket, then found a small patisserie to examine: Then a light dinner back at the house: The next day I wanted to check out the CBD area. I enjoy architecture of various types and was curious about what the French decided to gift...

    The introverts go to Noumea

    Many years ago (2017) the wife and I took the typical Carnival cruise and we had the typical day stop at Noumea. After the little train drive around the city, followed by a supermarket picnic we thought it would be a fun and tasty place in which to spend more time. We planned for 2018, had to...

    Jetstar turn back; Failed to Get Authorisation

    WTB-DPS could be a good one, scoop up Brisbanites and transfer in the others. If the fare was cheap enough I could imagine JQ customers driving up there.

    The name is now officially "Toowoomba Wellcamp", thankfully. We could use some competition out here.

    Nice review. VA always did a good job of 'sealing up' J with the barrier.

    Gifts for cabin crew

    Pretty sure we had this conversation a few years ago. Beforehand, it's a bribe. Afterwards, it's a tip. FAs are there for safety first, anything else secondary. As long as I feel safe with their actions, then they're doing their job and shouldn't need a tip at all.
