It's for the money, and maybe laziness to ensure compliance with the appropriate Convention. The Vienna Convention on Road Traffic states that the expiration of an IDP can be no more than 3 years after issuance or until the expiration of the license, whichever is earlier. On the other hand, the...

That would be Kowloon/Kowloon West stations. You can get some pretty long walks in some Hong Kong stations between exit and station proper. Some of them have moving walkways, and thankfully most of them have lifts somewhere, so not entirely terrible with luggage (except when people without...

That's kind of the problem. Most USB ports on board planes tend to top out at 10 W (5V, 2A). For most devices these days (especially tablets), that's probably enough to slow down the draining process but not to recharge, unless you go to power saving or turn off the device. You could probably...

I think it's just another cunning way to get more Choice fares booked over Lite fares. I think you would have to be naive to see the baggage charges are anything but profit making, but most of the time the differential is small for the gain in SC. I guess the difference is more pronounced for...

Is the overall SC earn correct for the price you paid? This is rather interesting, as would be whether a return itinerary (with exactly the same sectors both ways) would be "symmetrically" credited. That is, if we take your example, if it were a return itinerary on the same legs and exactly...

I find it hilarious that you noticed the number of baked beans, unless they were baked Borlotti beans or the like.

Well, one could argue that if you had staffed checkout counters and people filling in online orders, you would create even more jobs (though nearly none of those positions could be considered sustainable, legitimate careers; they're just casual or part time positions).

Patient: "Doctor, you gotta help me! My bottom hurts!" Doctor: "Where does it hurt?" Patient: "Near the entrance!" Doctor: "Well, first of all, it's gonna continue to hurt so long as you keep calling it an entrance!"

I think everyone, no matter what generation, has grown up with and/or lived through knowing this is true and never going to change. Some people believe this fact should cause us to either shift our thinking and have empathy for the frontliners (unless they themselves are prima facie rude or...

Well, what was the main plate? LOL same as QF; in fact QF considers it a short sector. Not sure what VA regards it as (short or medium).

You are entitled to use a staffed counter. You are not entitled to a short line - not now, not when self serve checkouts were not a thing. No matter which side of the fence you are on in this, the staff member may well be telling the truth when they say, "we're not meant to do this". I don't...

I can believe you on this one. But ironically, for the two 3K flights I flew last year, there was no weighing at the gate (or at check-in for that matter). Maybe it was a case of "if it doesn't look heavy, it isn't" or just got lucky. I thought I'd be a prime target as my backpack doesn't...

Is it a good time to ask why AK and its derivatives are not good? Price pays for a  lot of sins, especially in SE Asia or when people need or want to move about by plane. The exception might be SQ/TR, since Singaporeans are the most fierce when it comes to looking after the interests of its...

There's no official Dine on Demand, but there's no harm in asking nicely, especially since you're taking care of a child. Did you have a "Plan B" in case the answer is, oddly enough, no? e.g. Take care of child and select something from the "during entire flight" selection later on?

Welcome to progress.... I think.... WCMO is the generation most complaining about self service checkouts being the devil of the technology generation when it is their generation who are the decision makers of having installed said self service checkouts because their profits are appeasing the...

The irony of this is that VA changed to this new system because it was supposed to be much easier to calculate how many points and SCs you earn for flights, especially for VA marketed and operated ones (of which VA is preferring that people earn the majority of their status on). QF might be...

...or in countries where it may be seen as offensive or misconstrued as a bribe.

They should be able to. Bonito flakes are typically not heated up with the food, otherwise there's almost no point. It should have been very easy to accommodate @Berlin 's request to serve without bonito flakes.

Do you need a Grab account to request a booking from these staff? If not, that'd be really good for the run of the mill passenger.

Rather simple: Classic art was created to celebrate, to delight, to retell, to dazzle, to amaze, to glorify. Modern art was created to shock, to confuse, to horrify. The last one has some layer of facetiousness to it. I've visited a few showings of art by my school's Visual Art students...
