    HKT Arrivals - Recent experience, taxi, etc

    Happy new year everyone, Flying to HKT next week with a morning arrival. I've heard the arrivals hall has been a zoo at times during peak season. Has anyone got recent experience? Also, is grab/bolt allowed in the airport area yet? Or is the taxi mafia still in play? I'd be interested in car...

    Best travel apps

    It definitely saved me with this. Also adds a calendar to the diary of all flights, check-ins, transfer, etc. Also, can share with the "leader of the opposition" to answer questions on dates & locations on pending absences. Adding Elk for currency conversations. Innovative way to see...

    Best Way from BKK airport to Sukhumvit

    I don't mind the AOT option. Paying for the convenience. About 1200B vs 500B (and tolls, and heaving my %^&* down levels and queuing and having cash ready and thai directions and...). Can also pay with CC in the hall while waiting for luggage. Minimum is usually a Camry with its cavernous boot...

    Farewell QFF

    Another interesting video on Qantas from Michael West. Interesting in the type of reporting and investigation when your advertising revenue isn't at risk.

    Optus $99/Mth Sim Only Plan - 60,000 Qf Pts

    Just went to cancel this week after I got the points and stop travelling for the immediate future. I'll get something different for next year. Only need 10-15gb per month, and pricing is ~$20pm. Thanks for the tip of doing via chat. Way more convenient and I could screen shot comments. The usual...

    Just saw I got mine too. Does canceling give you a refund for the unused portion of the month?

    So the points & nights were credited one month after the stay. The points were approx half the earn rate from hotels for me.

    Airport bag handling video

    Is it just me... Or perhaps they were making a tik tok on the redbull effect on baggage handlers? Super strength? Redbull gives your bags wings? Tik tok usually brings out the best behavior in people.

    Homes & Villas Experiences

    I recently used the Homes & Villas option in AKL. Bonvoy's AirBnB offering. I had 1bd unit in Wakefield street. Very comfortable and I wanted a kitchen for this trip. I thought I'd try it out for the points & night credits. Pros: Great range of properties. Points & nights on your bonvoy...
