    Checked luggage in Australia - why so long?

    Arrived at LHR three times last month. On all occasions aircraft door to kerbside in 35 mins…. ( Both bags and immigration) T3 & T5. BA 15 at Syd, first plane to arrive so no other aircraft to unload. Immigration fast but luggage took 45 mins before they started to arrive.

    SYD Meetup - Wednesday 20th November 2024 @ Long Chim

    Neither marickville or Newtown are near the CBD ( which I presume is more central to everyone )? Chat Thai Haymarket or Pitt St ? ( but closes at 9.30 pm on Weds.) Otherwise Long Chin is my vote.

    I kinda agree. He’ll be more likely remembered for taking the point off NOR than achieving the fastest lap ( a feat a lot of participants could have replicated with fresh tyres and little fuel.) But unless the championship is decided by one point then….and if it’s that case then McLaren will be...

    Perhaps as a reaction to RIC’s fastest lap spoiler in SIN, F1 is dropping the one bonus championship point for fastest lap in 2025. https://www.bbc.com/sport/formula1/articles/c4g4qqg3jzlo

    True, but maybe not as consequential as asking NOR to let PIA repass to win in Hungary. That was a 7 point loss.

    VER’s yellow flag infringement was for overtaking on the cool down lap. He overtook NOR and gave him the congratulatory thumbs up. Called to the stewards, he was reprimanded

    I don’t think this result will change the order. PIA is still 33 points behind NOR….. but a similar finish will in SIN might change things.

    I think the fact that since the Williams family sold out to venture capitalists, Aston Martin is the only team whose owner is directly involved with the team. He saw this as a positive.

    Haneda layover

    Went through immigration at HND three days ago. Saw no fast track for foreigners with QR ( which I didn’t have ). Queue took about a hour to reach the machines to be fingerprinted and photographed, which was then rechecked by immigration officer. Apparently not an unusual experience and made SYD...

    I think McLaren have to favour NOR for the rest of the season. It’ll be hard enough for him to overcome VER lead let alone for PIA who is a further 44 points behind NOR. And team orders will prevent another surprise overtake, which could have taken both cars out, harming the constructors title...

    Have you topped up a UK pension to cover gaps?

    A word of warning. A friend (Living in Australia) was contributing class 2 pension contributions of about £150 p.a. She then retired from work (aged 62) and started to draw from her Australian super. Her subsequent Class 2 contributions are now over £900 p.a. The ATO reported her changed...

    Unsurprisingly, Logan Sargent has lost his seat at Williams and will be replaced by Argentine F2 driver Franco Colapinto for the rest of the season. https://www.bbc.com/sport/formula1/articles/c3vxek6v192o
