When I have to chopper offshore, I travel with this: Montrose Offshore Kit Bag (Medium). I always see a few others on the carousel in Karratha, Port Hedland, Aberdeen etc and serves me well. Generally I only use it when I'm travelling light and going on a heli because it doesn't have wheels.

Perhaps they collected a surcharge on disembarking from all spectators and special surcharge from the fighters for being involved. At least thats what Ryanair would do, but then they'd probably also charge their crew for the privilege also.

PR to PR is piece of cake, other then a direct into Cebu (via Hong Kong, Doha, Singapore etc) its probably the best way to do it. I had the misfortunate of living in Cebu for several years whilst flying in and out regularly and was often flown via Manila but having to transfer to Terminal 1...

I've had several Y flights in recent months with MH which haven't been eligible for points with QFF, disappointingly.

I'm struggling to find reward availability for a Sydney-Manila one way in J, my mother in law has recently had heart surgery and I want her to travel comfortably. The website is driving me mad because it gives a lot of options with connections via Dubai, Doha and Hong Kong and wherever else, but...

I just changed a seat reservation on some upcoming bookings with EK through the EK website (QF Codeshare) and as a QFF Gold noticed it said 'complimentary' after changing the seats, so its good to know the system recognises the status.

I just purchased the Samsonite GuardIT Black Rolling Tote for A$119. I used it for the first time a few days ago on SYD-DXB-MAN. Overall, very happy with it, has several compartments which are great for putting laptops/ipad for easy retrieval at security, a section for a few clothes (a quick...

I put one of those small bottles of Voss sparkling water in my bag today at the Emirates Lounge in DXB, consumed on the plane. Felt a bit guilty, but not enough to stop me.

Madrid and Schiphol both require a bit of a trek, Hong Kong is a pleasant walk from one end to the other, as is Singapore. It's nice to have the space and be able to take a nice long walk.

03 OCT 16 on QF 1 SYD-DXB (EK or QF J Lounge, 1 guest) (or if someone can guest me into F lounge please) 04 OCT 16 on EK 21 DXB-MAN (EK J Lounge, 1 guest) (or if someone can guest me into F lounge please) 11 OCT 16 on EK 20 MAN-DXB (EK J Lounge, 1 guest) 12 OCT 16 on EK 404 DXB-SIN-MEL (EK J...

Yes, exactly that, very little demand for Automatic cars, more likely to get one at major airports and rental stations. Hailing from the UK, I was in my mid twenties when I first drove an automatic, I arrived in Seattle and was given the keys to a car and was told no manuals were available...

QF1 16 hour delay departing SYD, leaving tomorrow now!

I have stayed onboard on several flights where its a plane going onwards. The following come to mind that I've been on where its happened; BAH-BKK-MNL, MCT-AUH-LHR, AMS-AUH-MCT, SCL-PMC-PUQ and number of others. Also, I've been on flights which have required me to get off and board again such as...

I use TripCase, and manually add meetings etc to the app. For complex itineraries, booking through a travel agent having everything put on the one PNR makes life a little easier also. Interestingly if you have a Qantas booking and add a hire car from your 'Manage Booking' page it automatically...

I guess the only question is, whats the worst case scenario? If the Qantas flight is delayed is your UL ticket changeable or are you able to swallow the loss? Normal circumstances, 2 hours no problems.

Is that how you think wives are treated in the UAE? Having lived in the Middle East and having several Arab families who I'd count as friends, I'd beg to differ... But essentially, if you are a visitor in a country, you should accept the culture that is there. Consider how offended people get...

I'm also of the belief that tipping is part of the US culture and if you visit the US you need to allow for it and embrace it, if you don't like it, find another country to do business/leisure. However, I once got caught out by kerb side checkin at one US airport (can't recall which?). I...

7 hours in Dubai isn't that painful if you have J lounge access. There are actually three J lounges in Dubai, the best by far is the Concourse A one, so if you have a 7 hour stopover, regardless of which concourse/terminal you are departing from, you could hop across to that one. There is a...

The London Eye affords a great view of the city and would give you a few places within walking distance to go to for the ironic selfies before going for dinner.

I will try a TA (if anyone has any recommendations to PM me), I couldn't find a way to do bill in AUD on the AA website.
