I guess this will be across all modern Airbuses: in a complete accessibility fail, the signs for whether toilets are free or occupied break the rule of informational redundancy (only a colour change, no cross-through or text) AND the warm green and red difference is a total cough for red-green...

I last went through it two years ago. It has always been incredibly slow for luggage on arrival (seemed improved most recently) and the airside on departure was very busy but not "chaotic" in any way. Boarding, on the other hand, involved TP dragons in a cramped gate lounge doing a lot of...

Thank you. The squeaky wheel approach is essentially what the GP recommended today, as the updated referral remains untriaged, so I'll be following up directly with the hospital. Waiting lists in Victoria are very long at the moment and GPs get very little feedback from the hospitals.

Ah yes, I remember reading your account of some aspects in earlier posts. Thanks for commenting here:)

I'd like to ask a question on carpal tunnel syndrome management here as I know some have experienced it and some have clinical knowledge. Sorry for the length; I hope it's clear. 12 mths ago: symptoms began to worsen markedly (after 18mths of milder ones), with significant sleep disturbance from...

Yes, but unlike Ubank, you cannot transfer into the savings account at all, so the already-clunky Save->Spend rigmarole for outward payments with Ubank is doubled for Bankwest (because of Transaction->Savings for inbound payments). Plus a hard $5000 daily outbound limit on PayID.

I recently tried a homemade solution for foot positioning: I took a foam roller (fitness thingy) and cut a 20cm slice. This is useful for two scenarios: (1) foot elevation, and (2) thigh/calf realignment. Both of those options help to alleviate back pain in Y/PE for me, and allow for positioning...

So I'm unlucky enough to have a newish account that only got a $350 limit. Nonetheless, I have cycled about eight payments of $350 through it to the ATO over about five days and it didn't get locked. In about half of the cases, I paid off the balance immediately, and in the rest I did it the...

Oh that's smooth enough to suck in a lot of people.

I guess it also depends on how people process the world. I think I appreciate the less "busy" environment of a lounge (in the sense that, even if it's a zoo, there's less movement all around me than in the actual terminal). On the other hand, if the lounge seating is very close together I will...

It depends on airline and the catering station. My experience of Y vegetarian (ovo-lacto: VLML) on any US airline has been abysmal. (Gloopy cheese pastas, the same corn and lettuce and tomato salad replated multiply...) The safest option on most airlines (and sometimes very good), as long as...

My second Virgin Money statement was generated five days ago and the 30k bonus was credited to my Velocity account at the same time as the points from the card earn (1 day after the statement).

Totally! It's so much harder to manage morning glitches anywhere in connections/disruptions/cancellations/misadventures.

THIS. You can sit in a lounge waiting for the departures monitor to change to "go to gate" for as long as you like, but it's worth doubting the alignment with reality when scheduled boarding commencement has long passed! However, I also almost missed an important flight once because the gate...

Yeah, TP short-haul is around 28". 🤬

Oh that's funny. I actually checked before posting and the page I found showed only Google Play, so, par for the course, PTV's documentation is incomplete/inaccurate.

Nice review, Matt. I love Portugal but TAP is so so meh. The intra-European experience is almost as joyless as Ryanair et al. At least Lisbon airport is not quite such a dive as it used to be.

It's not a great detour, but it is almost invisible to most passengers (and unknown), and a completely illogical location.

Unfortunately useless for all the Apple people - not an option. It is truly stupid that PTV doesn't install (or is perhaps blocked from installing?) installing a machine in a useful location at the airport.

From the T&Cs:
