    Wilson European Vacation - 23 May to 9 July 2011

    Yes, the European train booking window is usually a rolling 90 days and the earlier one books, the better. I'll admit right now that I'm not a fan of the TGV onboard product. The design has basically not changed in their 30 years of operation, and the "new" product is more annoying than...

    Wilson European Vacation - 23 May to 9 July 2011

    As promised, a quick look at Bordeaux-Paris train fares. Booking direct with SNCF (Voyages-sncf.com : Voyage en train, en avion, rservation d'htels et sjours) with ticket pick-up within France (ie. from a ticket machine at the station in Bordeaux), although e-ticket (print at home) is also an...

    Aren't us Sandgropers an organised bunch? The Windsor is a good choice and it's ferry-friendly too...:)

    Meet A Moderator, Perth, 27th or 28th April

    Should be there in around 10 minutes. Let us know where you guys end up sitting... presumably not at an outside table!

    Travel to Sapporo - AFF Opinions

    Did a few days this past January at the Furano New Prince as well. Really enjoyed the area and even had some non-skiers visit for a few days, who were suitably entertained with the surrounding attractions, which included a lavendar farm, winery and art gallery. If anyone goes there, the wine...

    Who murdered the sausages in BNE Dom J Lounge?

    Tae, I was pretty much as excited as you! Why has nobody spread the pancake machine love on here before?!? The best part was that the pancakes tasted surprisingly good as well. I was expecting floury but these were actually worth eating. Looking forward to my next breakfast lounge visits. I...

    Meet A Moderator, Perth, 27th or 28th April

    Yup, you should get a decent J dinner so food's probably not such a good plan. I'm good to just meet up at a watering hole rather than a restaurant.

    Who murdered the sausages in BNE Dom J Lounge?

    Hmm we don't appear to have sausages here at PER this morning, but we do have a pancake machine, which is rocking my socks right now. :cool:

    JQ to QF INT connection in MEL

    If it's any comfort, yesterday's JQ36 arrived in MEL 20 minutes early, so there's some extra time...

    Meet A Moderator, Perth, 27th or 28th April

    After a more thorough check of my availability, Wednesday works best for me, but I can probably do Thursday if need be. If we're thinking cheap Asian rather than buffet, pub or "modern Australian" then Taka on Wellington St or in Shafto Lane is always cheap-as, there's some good cheap Korean in...

    Welcome, PA=SH. Enjoy the site and "enjoy" Perth Airport, although that's a given with your username. Haha.:lol:

    Meet A Moderator, Perth, 27th or 28th April

    Sounds good, I'm flexible, so whichever night works best should work out. Somewhere central is easiest, especially if straight after work, for me and presumably the greatest number of people, due to location and the availability of public transport and taxis. If CBD I don't really mind but...

    +1 for Lindsay Wilson having poor schedules and changing to a Saturday AM flight ex PER - Friday night PER drinks would be fun, especially if they continued until early Saturday for Flashware.... :D

    Wilson European Vacation - 23 May to 9 July 2011

    Haha, let me know when you're in town! :) Always happy to help. On that note, what are your TGV booking plans? Booking through a European website or locally is usually far cheaper than booking from an Australian reseller...

    Wilson European Vacation - 23 May to 9 July 2011

    Unfortunately the fastest public transport option between Prague and Nürnberg is a 3.5 hour bus ride. The shortest train connection is 4.5 hours, and from personal experience this is a very scenic, off the mainlines trip, however the timetable is limited. Travel between Nürnberg and München or...

    How do you book multi flights at different class levels on the same ticket?

    Clearly the best option is to hope that fares open - if so, you will get to fly on LA800 with yours truly! :lol:

    How do you book multi flights at different class levels on the same ticket?

    Not sure what's up with iFly's connections but I figure that if they give you the ticket then the airline has an obligation to your destination and you'll get there somehow... Hopefully the dodgy connection would be picked up at ticketing, rather than check-in, or worse, arrival at SYD. Good...

    How do you book multi flights at different class levels on the same ticket?

    Looks like the cheap fare may be advance purchase only, as all dates within a week seem to be the more expensive price...

    How do you book multi flights at different class levels on the same ticket?

    Hit and miss results: Can get all one itinerary for $1717.29 but can only get a single itinerary booking with QF506 SYD-BNE on the way back, which is a 25 minute connection, which obviously doesn't work and probably can't be ticketed - not sure what will happen if you buy it. Otherwise, all...
