My best laid plans have been stymied, i was to fly MEL-SYD tomorrow in an A333 but at check in have discovered that the plane has been switched to a B738. I've gone from my lovely bank of two to now being in the back of what is going to be a very full bus.

Same for me. When I first start working in London I had a colleague who could not comprehend that I went to Brussels on two consecutive weekends. She was so confused that she assumed I was a courier of illicit substances and could not comprehend that I happened to like Beer, Chocolate and a...

I also appreciate this post. I had been waiting on MEL-SGN and the dates worked perfectly for me. Now I can mark country #70 in my diary.

Two of my most memorable experiences in Paris were a visit to Opera Garnier (Opéra national de Paris) and a visit to Cité de l’architecture et du patrimoine (Cité de l'architecture et du patrimoine)

Guess the agent never heard of why fly direct when you can connect.

Same, only scratching the US off the list. Will try and do it on points (even in Y)

Agreed, Doubletree Old Town was my preferred spot when working in Qatar, albeit 10 years ago.

Have scheduled times been released?

I really enjoyed my short time in Alexandria. The Bibliotheca was gorgeous and had a nice dinner at the Fish market. I left wishing I could spend more time than the one night work afforded me.

So are there any alternative locations for these cities? I'm interested in going to Osaka for Expo 2025 later in the year. Would i be better to stay in Kobe for example?

Not to hijack your story, but it reminds me of my first ever trip to Helsinki in 2009. I did the same thing. It was a great night out, only made better by the Finnish man next to me telling me he was a diehard Geelong Cats fan (thanks ESPN for those late night tapings of matches in the 80's and...

I am sure I am not the only one who is hoping that a trip report will follow.

Just a data point on this example which defied common sense to me. I was scheduled to attend a wedding in London. I had my leave and flights booked. I then received notification that a contract ceremony was scheduled in Dammam and my presence was specifically requested by the client. This...

I think this has been my favourite post ever on AFF. I am so happy for you @Human - it's wonderful to see your dreams coming true.

I have flown Citliink a few times internally in Indonesia and thought they were fine. They're Garuda's LCC.

Syria. Early 2011 i planned Christmas in Turkey. My plan was to go from Cappadocia down to Gazientep, Diyarbikar then across the border and through to Aleppo and Damascus. Then the uprisings began in March and the rest as they say is history. Plans scuttled and i went west from Cappadocia...

For those who are Socceroos fans, Wikipedia suggests that China will host them in Hangzhou on 25 March. Combined with GP tickets it might be a nice week away.

I am very much looking forward to this.

That's really helpful, thank you. I was very keen on visiting AS but am not eligible for an ESTA as I have been to Iran and that had stopped me exploring the idea further.

This is really interesting, I didn't realise it was so easy. Are there entry requirements? And how much was the flight?
