    Transit Time - MEL-SIN-HKT

    Agreed dajop :) I would have missed it completely if I wasn't fortunate enough to be off the plane first and beat the traffic to immigration. The tags on the luggage helped enormously too.

    Transit Time - MEL-SIN-HKT

    Yes - I was informed that it only happens when you fly a budget airline (eg JQ, TR and Silk?) . Next time I'll know to add in an extra hour to make the transit easier.

    Transit Time - MEL-SIN-HKT

    Hi Kiwi Flyer, I arrived back home yesterday. I did make the flight yes - but by the skin of my teeth. On departure I requested that my bags be checked right through to HKT and I was told I could pick up a boarding pass at one of the Transit Areas on Arrival. Plenty of time it seemed. I...

    Thanks for the advice Kiwi. But I have decided to keep the Jetstar flight. I would rather spend time on the beach in coughet than in an airport lounge :)

    Amex Rewards Maximiser annual charge

    Re: Web application My first statement received last week also has the $12 monthly charge on it. I've just hung up on Mumbai (after waiting 35 minutes for a consultant) to be told that they would credit my account $144 and that the $12 would appear each month... :shock: :shock:

    Transit Time - MEL-SIN-HKT

    Thankyou for your comments Kiwi Flyer and JohnK. You both have pointed out some particulars I had not considered. :D I spoke with Singapore Airlines and they do have a relationship with JetstarAsia - so yes I will be able to check the bags right through to coughet. That should save some...

    Transit Time - MEL-SIN-HKT

    Yes, they would be seperate tickets. 1) Yes I would be checking bags 2) This is bad news - Jetstar fly from Changi Airport Terminal 1 and Singapore Airlines fly from Terminal 2. 3) From the Jetstar website; Which means I have 50 minutes. 4) This is good news

    Chairmans lounge members- automatic upgrade?? True or false?

    With parents as CL members I can dispel the rumour as false. Travelling for business reasons I would believe that the need for an upgrade would not be required as most CL's would travel J (at least from my experience). I'm not aware that when travelling for business purposes (co. paid) that...

    This question just HAS TO BE ASKED...

    I've heard that the DFAT has put a travel warning for all travel to Bali. (may have already been in place). And after speaking with a travel agent friend, all advertising, including in store, for Bali has been withdrawn. So I think there will be a significant drop in tourism to the area from...
