    Jetstar flying to Seoul

    Sad to see it go, but the smart decision. I reckon this will be a popular route. Will open up the ski resorts in South Korea too over winter.

    Travel to 2020 Tokyo Olympics

    Or look at flying into secondary cities as opposed to straight into Tokyo. For Euro 2012 i had tickets to a match in Wroclaw. Flights from London were about $600 return, flights from Bournemouth, 2 hours on the train away were $100 return.

    Travel to 2020 Tokyo Olympics

    @nlagalle - You have a very interesting job and I imagine have some very interesting stories as well. Given your experiences (and i apologise if you have posted this elsewhere) i was wondering if you have any insights into the Olympics and attending the Olympics that you have observed that are...

    Boston in 2017

    I would say go for it. Boston are the reigning champs but have struggled this year. The Orioles aren't great but the thing with a 162 game season is that any team can perform on the day. The absolute worst teams will win 1 in 3 games. I actually prefer to sit behind the pitcher, you are a long...

    What to do with 68,000 points?

    Hi all, I used to travel internationally and stayed with Hilton. The time has flown and I woke up this morning to an email saying I had until October to use 68,000 points. I am based in Melbourne, is there anything in particular that would be recommended to use these points on? I am open to a...

    Sydney via Canberra

    We visited last weekend and loved it. Particularly the work section and subsequently the landscapes behind it. I would love to see modern interpretations of each place, particularly the landscapes in the Middle East.

    Boston in 2017

    If you are there in Baseball season and like your sports then I recommend a visit to Fenway Park. If you can't get tickets, then Bleacher Bar is a great experience. It is outside the ground (underneath the bleachers) and there is a massive window that looks out onto the field. It was a great...

    I need some inspiration for a trip next year, any suggestions?

    Iran was lovely in April, but will cause issues if you fancy US trips down the track. Oman, Azerbaijan, Egypt and the UAE were great at this time too. I would always recommend Georgia. For places I haven't been, La Reunion has always been high on my list. You could combine it one of Seychelles...

    Reading this article and I was thinking to myself, if you were to write this article, what would you include? I was thinking: Abisko, Segovia, Wroclaw, Nimes, Efes, Kavala.

    When can I check in luggage?

    Hi all, Just wondering, how early can I check in luggage for a domestic flight at CBR? We are on the late flight to Melbourne and would love to offload our bags before we head to the National Gallery. Thanks in advance.

    Will you ever fly the 737 MAX?

    In the interim, i plan on not booking flights with airlines that have the Max in their fleet.

    Will you ever fly the 737 MAX?

    At this point, no i will not fly the 737 Max. Maybe in the future once i am convinced that the problems are fixed then i would fly again. However, i can't see that happening anytime soon. So, what does this mean in practice? It means i will think twice about flying airlines where the Max can be...

    Best in-flight meal you've received?

    Flying Y, the meals aren't particularly memorable. One however did stand out. About four years ago on a QF flight from Melbourne - Singapore, Duck a l'orange popped up in the pre-order meal options. Sadly i never saw it offered again. For dessert, i did a status run on Malaysian earlier this...
