As far as I understand it, you don't have any choice at T3. You have to go through Immigration. So, that being the case, I'd just cross the freeway on the "Runway Manila" footbridge (as mentioned previously) Runway Manila · G2C8+7G3, Pasay City, Metro Manila, Philippines and head off down...

Talking of Bintan, I was rather surprised when I discovered recently that there was a modern, functioning, internaiional airport on the neighbouring island, Batam. Just a half hour away from Singapore by ferry. Who'd have though it?

How is that relevant?

Yes indeed. Will be interesting to see how the owners Bain, QR and the retail investors go. Might end in tears, a way down the track. However, the American management will probably have hightailed it by then, having seen the writing on the wall.

I think we got the message (we already knew it).

I've never had a courtesy upgrade from Qantas, and, quite frankly, I never expect to get one. The main reason I fly QF is to maintain OWE. However I've had lots from other (international) airlines.

Nothing planned for 2026 so far, apart from a couple of business class trips to TPE on CX in Feb. I expect I'll book a couple of business class trips to Europe for next year in due course, when something comes along that takes my fancy. But no need to plan ahead too far.

No neither am I, and now try and avoid them. I'd rather fly CBR-MEL on a Dash-8 than a 220 (and I've booked such). I do like the Dash-8's, but that's another story. My one and only flight on a 220 in J was awful. Like you I was in seat 2A and thought it was cramped and claustrophobic. That was...

I guess the email was from Nigeria. They tend to has a distinctive style.

I might have been tempted when I was (much) younger, if it saved a few $$$. But now... I couldn't begin to imagine a public bus journey from Campelltown to Badgerys Creek to start my oversears journey in J (with a basic generic lounge, at best, to comfort me while at the airport). With mainly...

Living in Canberra, usually by public transport. Either flying in from CBR or by train to Campbelltown, then changing for Mascot, then bus. Or, occasionally, Murrays bus direct to Intl terminal. If it's a very early flight I usually travel to Sydney the day before and stay overnight in a hotel...

Hey, Poochie, you've forgotten CBR. The lovely R3 bus will whisk you to the CBD in about 25 minutes for a princely sum of not very much (I don't know how much as it's free for elderly folk like me). But, yes, let's not forget the Tassie Govt. They'd rather spend taxpayers money on an AFL...

I could be considered to be a WSI "candidate". living in the ACT. Well, it's closer than KSA, but a hell of a lot harder to get to. As a J traveller, I would see absolutely no reason to fly out of WSI. Problematic location, no lounges worth talking about (if any at all), very little else to get...

It's certainly ticked me off. I don't fly a lot domestically, but I do fly quite a bit internationally. Qantas understands this, but obviously Bain don't. I guess we'll see within the next couple of years who had the best understanding of the market. Perhaps both, although if Qantas were smart...

Somehow, that doesn't sound quite right to me. A 10 year DL in the ACT costs nothing to me. Just a slight difference. I know that Germany can be expensive, but I'm having a problem with this.

Poor old Cliifford will weigh it up carefully, before and on the day. He has already reserved a Hertz car (corporate rates) but will check the weather forecast and several other things before making a final decision. At the moment, the rental car option is looking good. Anything to thwart those...

HAN is just a much nicer place.

And I can report in about 3 weeks, flying J KUL-MCT-LHR. I've transitted through MCT several times, and haven't been impressed with the WY lounge. Sure, it's all glitter and whatever, but from a food and drink perspective it left me rather underwhelmed. It's also far too brightly lit and open...

I wish him the absolute best of luck.

It would be hard to be CFO and not be involved.
