My local relatives all love to get nice clothing basics from places like Bossini, G2000, Giordano, U2, etc. They also like shoes from Bread n Butter, bags from Salad. Japan Home Centre (JHC) is a chain store which has practical and cheap homeware bits and bobs. If you're looking to do some...

Last year, I was flying from Bergen, Norway (BGO) to ZRH, and I was supposed to firstly make a domestic connection through OSL. BGO is a pretty small airport, so domestic and international connections all share a single security area. You're supposed to turn left after security for domestic...

How's this for an unusual one: I've been doing figure skating since I was a kid. After some years of on/off and laziness during my teens, I've really committed myself to it over the past 6-7 years. For the most part, I've kept up 1-2 intense practices per week, and stretches at home on days...

A few years back, I did an onsen tour with my extended family. For me, the most memorable ryokan I stayed at during that trip - and one of the most memorable places I've experienced in all my travels, full stop! - was the Hawai Bokoro Onsen Ryokan, in Kurayoshi, Tottori Prefecture. I can't post...

Definitely include 3-4 days in Stockholm on your itinerary if you can. Wonderful and picturesque city with so much history, culture and world-class food to experience. If you do Norway, you might want to consider a 2-day stop in the beautiful city of Bergen, perhaps on your way north to see...

I once had an SAS flight operated by Cimber Sterling, which has been named a few times already. Otherwise, Air Baltic (Latvian state-owned low cost carrier) is the most obscure airline I've flown. Perhaps not particularly obscure, but I certainly hadn't heard of them before I started searching...

For anyone else looking to get an AB match using a friend's address, I suggest writing in German when emailing them to request the match. Get someone to help you make it grammatically correct. I happen to speak reasonable German, so I did this using a friend's address and got matched no...

A few days late to the party, but just wanted to chime in with another good word for UA. Being a loyal *A flyer who travels to/within the USA, I have to rely on them a fair bit. Have really noticed a significant improvement in recent times. One of my most memorable flights with them last year...

IIRC, I definitely gave him a low rating - but not a 0, since he was actually very friendly, the car was clean and he voluntarily helped me load and unload my three heavy suitcases. So in all fairness, he deserved some points for that!

I had a "fun" experience with Uber in Chicago recently. Was on my way to the airport to catch an international flight, when the driver lied to me saying that he needed to get gas. My protests seemed to fall on deaf ears. Once he had pulled into a petrol station just off the highway, he...

Hi all, Longtime FlyerTalk member here, happy Star Alliance flyer, decided it was high time for me to join an Australian-based frequent flyer forum. I took my first long-haul flight (YYZ-HKG) at the ripe old age of two weeks and have never looked back :cool: My love of planes and flying...
