What was your experience? Same booking and didn't let you pool allowance? That bites. Honest told, I don't know if this is something written into baggage policies or just a courtesy. In decades gone by, it used to be nearly universal to allow pooling of allowances. Even strangers on the same...

Well, they are a LCC........

You'll be fine.

Dare I say it's been... ferry wet? :D

It takes 5 minutes for me to walk from home to the pub, but it takes 30 minutes from pub to home. The difference is staggering. 😀

The proliferation of battery banks was well and truly after scares of low quality, dangerous phone batteries; see Samsung Galaxy Note 7. If it seemed so easy that a good phone battery should lead on that a good battery bank is easy to produce, then I guess we're not seeing it. Part of it, of...

Seen that rice so many times now, not just this dish. What's in it? Looks like pepitas and some sort of leaf (not spinach)... is the rice flavoured?

For those of us playing the status game (to make it worth it, i.e. get and be able to use it, and not from a cold start), some QF J fares, if bought in advance long enough, work out quite reasonably in terms of $ per SC. If you had to take that trip anyway, it isn't so ridiculous to pay QF J for...

Technically no, but it is almost always lumped together, except spelling errors should be largely easier to avoid compared to grammar ones. No, pronunciation is not a grammar mistake - that's a whole different kettle of fish. Unless speech-to-text goes a whole lot more mainstream.

That's a good idea, and I already have one of those.

Trust me to forget that AFF likely has one of the highest concentrations of digitally literate elderly people in society.

Once again, most commendable that you are keeping with technology. I wonder how well the customs questions translate via Google Translate, especially in offline mode. Remember that there are penalties for lying on the ICP (yes, you could argue to just tick 'yes' if not sure at all); I think...

Well, didn't mean to be ageist, so sorry. The couple I had spotted were not apt with technology as they were barely using their translator (it's one of those reworked smartphone inventions from China which has built in dictionary and a handy ability to take a photo of text to then translate it...

Temporary stall? Sure, but then you keep on moving when you're ready 😂 Now as for the aerotrain....

You're making a long term bet that VA will meet some sort of fiscal demise. By that time, the Americans would have flogged off VA and maybe still counting the money. Let's not forget VA would be dead if not convincing said American mob to take a chance on saving the airlines. Could always...

This isn't surprising. The mandate of the government was to cut costs and capital projects were always going to be on the cards, save for the Olympics where they just had to be savage and force a decision rather than more feasibility studies. The consultation report (yes, NIMBYs) was likely an...

Interesting, red with chicken. :D Just kidding, I get it.

Tomato relish (not sauce) would go OK with this. Mint yoghurt sauce or sweet tamarind would go well. But I'd reckon they'd be harder to source. A chutney would also go rather well. Once again, probably not easy to source.

My last flight into AU was on CX. I sat in the second Y cabin and while I got an IPC, they ran out of them about 2 rows behind me. Since they hand them out starting at the first row of each cabin, about 40% of Y did not receive an IPC to fill in on the flight. Most would have had no choice but...
