    So... what car do you guys drive when not flying?

    While Ampol do have fast chargers at some sites, the hose on the ground is a curious one

    Australian Cricket Season 2023-2024

    And only the top 8 from this WC qualify for the 2025 Champions Trophy

    The TomCat Family's Luxury Escape

    There's certainly something to rocking up to a gate at SIN 5 minutes before it closes and waltzing on through what is like a private security point

    When would inflexible changes make commercial sense?

    And even the supervisors can't help

    When would inflexible changes make commercial sense?

    This is not new. Ever since QF contracted the completely useless call centres overseas and gave them zero ability to help, involuntary changes have become a nightmare.

    Qatar denied extra capacity into Australia

    I haven't read every page of this, but has someone suggested that VA follow QFs lead and wet lease some planes and crew from QR to fly to DOH? :cool:

    Airlines with live TV on board

    IIRC the live tv concept was pioneered by B6. And how about the nosegear incident at LAX where the pax were watching the live news coverage of their flight as they circled off the coast.

    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    I wonder how well the kiosk can manage calling Border Farce to get a dual passport override code? Although I imagine it would do a better job than QF as that's been a nightmare.

    Changed Flight Timing, likely to miss connection. Options?

    In that case try typing Qantas complaints into google and it should be the top result. They will try and fob you off to self help articles, but just close the pop-up.

    Changed Flight Timing, likely to miss connection. Options?

    Also try the complaint form, that got us a phone call from someone who actually had system access unlike the offshore call centres.

    Interesting experience flying AA.

    That's within the rules, so not an accommodation.

    Hokkaido

    Have a look at Biei. The countryside is straight out of a storybook.

    Roomba, Dysons, Thermomix and other household appliances

    We used to, until I picked it up one day and found that it was cool as underneath when running. Don't bother now. Of course YMMV for those with other brands.

    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    Years ago flying OZ via ICN, they took your BP and managed the shower queue by departure time. I felt like it worked well.

    Interesting experience flying AA.

    The Doug Parker led AA took the tools away from the staff on the ground. They MUST follow what the computer says. Staff no longer have any discretion to help.

    Hertz - Electric car fuel charge

    That is about what you would have spent on petrol anyway. I agree that it should have been explained to you when you picked up the car as you didn't specifically reserve an EV. However that pricing seems to be competitive.

    Checking in golf clubs

    Buy a $6.45 20l Bunnings pail to protect your clubs a la the Home Depot bucket that has been posted online. I've also heard that unscrewing driver heads and putting them in your carry-on can help.

    Giro d'...toddler?

    Ah the joys of travelling with toddlers 🙃 I'm maybe a little surprised you didn't find our TR from 2019 showing the F bassinet 😉

    Best Airline for Escorted Travel?

    If you go UA, you can purchase a concierge service for the LAX connection and MEL arrival. Unfortunately not available at YUL. This is in addition to wheelchair assistance which needs to be requested separately.
