This isn't that uncommon but should only apply during taxi/takeoff/landing? You should have been able to move forward during cruise to relax in a different seat.

This is true in some markets like Europe to USA, but for LON to Australia in particular, I don't believe this is market standard anymore. I'm seeing fares for early December (which is an off-peak period) for LGW-SYD as low as A$839 one-way on Scoot taking 43 hours (!) , and around $1500 for MH...

He's saying that he won't have a first class baggage allowance on his return from the UK to Australia, which presumably would be in economy (or at least something else with an allowance well below that of EK First).

The accident report will not help assign liability, as discussed above - that is entirely not the point of ICAO Annex 13 reports. Even if we accept that SIA has responsibility for the accident occurring, my comment about proportionate liability was in reference to those who were not wearing...

Accident reports prepared according to ICAO Annex 13 are "no blame" and are not to be used in court proceedings. This doesn't necessarily mean the plaintiff's lawyers won't try it on, but Singapore is a common law jurisdiction (along with the UK, the origin of the flight), is a full signatory...

The Montreal Convention itself is not applicable to this situation as it has specific limitations to compensation for injury, death, and lost luggage. Perhaps the previous commentator was just referencing it as an example but not a specific instrument for this situation? Usually for...

I will be dropping to QF silver soon and also dropped on VA earlier this year. I have one more international trip to experience a few Oneworld lounges in October, and then the drop comes at end of November. Considering the last time I actually qualified for WP was in 2019, figure I've come...

This is unlikely to be required, maybe shuttle buses will exist for the odd backpacker that books the cheapest flights on separate tickets without really understanding where they're going, but 99.9% of travellers will never go between the two airports. When do people go between Gatwick and...

Agreed they aren't on sale yet, I'm asking now so I can plan ahead properly.... but I know that the best fares may not be available just yet. Thanks, but J reward flights to Europe through QFF (where I have any points at all) are like hen's teeth and while I will do some work to pay attention...

Hello, I saw someone comment on here that paid J fares to Europe are possible in the $6k return range, which seems incredible compared to what the list prices are for major airlines. Can anyone comment on a strategy for finding these? My partner and I would like to travel SYD-AMS return in...

Sharp corners cause all sorts of problems when it comes to airflow. A basic principle of fluid dynamics as it applies to aeronautical engineering, is to maximize laminar airflow - where the fluid travels smoothly or in regular paths, in contrast to turbulent flow, in which the fluid undergoes...

Speaking of being "in the way" , any thoughts on the last row economy seats in the 787? These are the only "duo" seats where my partner and I could sit together without a stranger. But they are right in front of the toilet - I'm not concerned about the noise of the toilet itself but wondering...

I used Saily on my recent US trip (from AUS). Worked perfectly, there was an activation step in the app that had to be done once in the destination country and connected to Wifi, fortunately the LAX Free Wifi, although notoriously dodgy, worked well enough this time. The only drawback was...

I consider myself a digital native and have no trouble with this sort of thing normally but had a really bad experience trying to buy a visitor a prepaid eSim from Boost, so I've been treading carefully. I did use a retail-purchased AT&T eSIM on my last USA visit, now I've just tried "Saily" as...

This looked like a great deal to me to avoid the hassle of an eSim but I have Telstra Postpaid or "Upfront" or whatever it's called now. It looks like you can't add this pack to a postpaid account and are stuck with the $10/day roaming, i.e. $140 for 14 days! What a rort.

That's interesting, I wonder commercial segment that's targeted at. Is this for tourists on multi-city itineraries, i.e. something like [Europe]->DOH->[AUS]->CNS->HND->DOH , someone visiting Australia and Japan in the same trip?

Wait, Onestar flies to Huron, Beadle County, South Dakota, USA ? That's definitely a new market , gotta be even smaller than the places Bonza tried :)

Vivid is super underwhelming this year and if there are really that many visitors that the hotels are all booked out, I pity them!

Allegedly naked passenger forces Virgin plane to turn around on flight from Perth to Melbourne I know there's been complaints about people dressing too casually at Perth, but this takes the cake!

The St Mary's change will require four journeys up/down: from the T1 line, up stairs/lifts to the overhead concourse, then an escalator down to street level, another one further down to the underground Metro mezzanine, and then finally the last escalator down to the platforms. There's been an...
