    Bangkok again with Singapore and Batam.

    Very generous "canapes" in the lounge of an evening. Worth the admission price alone!

    Velocity introduces Forever Gold lifetime status tier

    Yes, much the same for me as most others. Only 1200 SCs away from the 12000 target, but 4000 SCs still needed on VA operated/marketed! So that is $48,000 spend just on VA. Not going to happen unless I get some J work trips to Doha or Europe (which is not going to happen). Similar conundrum for...

    Bangkok again with Singapore and Batam.

    Yes, "carrot cake" is a classic Singapore hawker dish made from daikon radish cake ("white carrot") and eggs. SQ pimps it up with the prawns. It's always a great option for Book The Cook breakfast.

    Domestic to International transfer times in Brisbane

    Getting through BNE immigration and customs can be the wild card, if you arrive just after a full Emirates A380, could be 30-60 minutes just for that. Huge queues even for the auto passport gates, and then for customs, last time I went through late on a Saturday night.

    I believe the frequency is now every 10 minutes. The orange bus is really a very good service.

    Heading to do some of the former Soviet Stans

    Within Uzbekistan, the inter-city trains are excellent. We did Tashkent, Samarkand, Bukhara and Ferghana Valley (Kokand and Margilan - don't miss the Kumtepa sunday market). Amazing sights. Sleeper train from Bukhara to Tashkent was fun.

    Changi Matters

    1. Changi village (Village Hotel Changi is good value) - would make for a leisurely day of eating at the hawker centre and adjacent eateries, walking around the beach park, and catch a ferry across to Ubin. Round of golf? Short taxi/Grab ride to airport. 2. Joo Chiat Rd and Geylang Rd area (lots...

    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    Sounds fair. Recently went SYD-SIN-MUC vv in economy, and found the comfort, service and meals consistently excellent. Very happy crew each sector and always willing to help pax with anything. SQ really does make long Y flights bearable. To prove dajop's theory, I noticed the cabin manager...

    Latest information about 28 degrees card

    I suspect that actually puts you in the high spend category, compared to the average customer. Which is why they tried this poorly-implemented fee strategy, to get rid of the very low spending customers.

    Who is going to the USA, who has changed their travel and what will you do differently?

    They are violent criminals who are illegally in the country. Sounds fine to me.

    Less than Good experience on SQ out of Dubai

    Scoot pilots didn't get the memo. Quite bumpy at times but no seatbelt sign for the duration of SYD-SIN.

    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    Arrived at SIN on a Scoot flight from SYD on Mon 7 April, all pax and their hand luggage were security screened in the terminal upon deplaning. I wonder why?
