Is Fuji-Five Lakes a must see? If so I may incorporate it into my itinerary. I'm trying to waitlist a flight that will get me to Tokyo three to four days earlier. I really don't want to waste the weekend. Is there any alternative? Any suggestions for a 3.5-day short break from Melbourne in...

Considering that I am going to Japan and the US in Sep-Oct, the AUD will plunge. It has never failed to plunge before I go on any trip

While Singapore airlines have devalued their FF program on numerous occasions during my adult life, these days the availability of Advantage rewards is probably similar to the availability of Saver rewards pre-COVID. This, in my view, is the REAL devaluation, and the reason why we should...

I'm spending 2 weeks in Japan in late September - early October. My itinerary is as follows: Tokyo - 5 days (including the Disney Parks and the new Harry Potter World) Takayama and Kamikochi - 2-3 days Kansai area - 3 days (including Universal Studios) - have been to Osaka and Kyoto before so...

Well mine are Advantage awards and the last sector has ready availability. It's the part getting from Oz-Sin that is the problem. Luckily I already have a confirmed booking, just 3 days later on a Tuesday, so I waste the weekend when I already could be in Japan. I've waitlisted some SYD and...

My available dates are all days up to 16 Aug, then 26 Aug through to 14 September.

OK. I am not going to bet my house on any of waitlists clearing, even with Elite Gold status.

On a somewhat light note, what is your favourite entrée (errr...... main dish) that you have ordered on Singapore Airlines Book the Cook - out of Singapore? Out of Oz? In J? In PE? Are you aware of any other airline that has a similar service? Are special meals (eg "low-fat" or "seafood")...

I'll be good for most of the next three months, before my next big trips. Looking forward to another delectable entree!

I've booked a Redemption flight for a MEL-SIN-NRT-LAX on Tuesday 19/9 (J) with a stopover in NRT (until 3/10), however this is far from ideal and I want to make use of the weekend. So today I waitlisted a booking for the night flight on Friday 15/9 with a slightly earlier sector to LAX (1/10)...

The more I think about this, the more I'm thinking about just booking a daytime one-way business class flight from LAX to ORD. (Or even Y, status means I won't have to pay for bags.) The thought of back-to-back redeyes in my crusty middle age is slowly doing me in.

I did SYD-KUL-CMB-DOH-BOS in 2016. Maximum was 10 hours in the business lounge at Doha. The J fare from CMB-BOS return was a mere $A2550 and was on a quadruple points promotion, used the points for a one-way QF PE redemption HKG-MEL!

I don't feel like wasting a day of my schedule. If I was retired I would stay a night in LA.

Was this a redeye or a daytime flight? Was catering okay?

I flew in JetBlue Mint Private Suites (during the day) from SFO-JFK for less than $600 AUD back in 2015......

No way one can use miles - no availability except in Y. I feel too stingy to even pay for a day use room at those rates. Value is so bad in the USA

I've never done a double red-eye up to this point - although my NRT-LAX sector is in J. Maybe I should indeed fly to ORD, arriving close to midnight and spend the next 3 days in Chicago as I have some flexibility in my trip. Not ideal but perhaps necessary.

Heading to the USA in early October from Japan - landing at LAX at about lunchtime and hoping to get on a flight to the East Coast that night. Has anyone done the redeye across the States in either United's Premium Plus (premium economy) (~$600) or in lieflat bed ($1200)? I will have to pay for...

How do yoy find the mini programs in WeChat? How is the weather in S'hai?

Just wondering has anyone here plan to fly to China in the near future? I am weighing up a trip to see my family. Starting on 29 April they have got rid of PCR tests but you still need to do a RAT test in the two days before departure. Does anyone know can they be self-administered or do they...
