Today I flew from Launceston to Melbourne and due to a change in plans Mrs wanderlust_tim and i arrived at the airport two hours early. Half jokingly I asked if we could be changed to an earlier flight and the check in agent said yes! The agent then gave me a spiel that due to the holiday...

I'd definitely leave the airport. Muscat is an interesting place and you could easily arrange a day tour to cover the main sights before taking on award journey. Visas are done on arrival and cost (well used to cost) around $10 from memory.

Which then raises the question of why not refer to this or cut and paste the comment when the question is asked. Much quicker and easier as opposed to deleting and eroding confidence in the brand.

I use Tripcase

I thoroughly enjoyed my White Christmas in Cappadocia, Turkey. I stayed in a cave and woke up to snowfall. The danger is of course that it may not snow. New Years in Moscow was a mistake, many things were shut for Orthodox Christmas. I visited Abisko in the Swedish Arctic Circle multiple times...

I have often wondered whether it would be worth screenshotting the price difference between the aircraft upon booking and if a downgauge to a 737 occurs whether you would have any luck in arguing for a partial refund on the fare at the time of booking. Probably not, but maybe worth a go in the...

No it won't matter. See: Discount Air Tickets for Japan and How to fly any route within Japan for less than $135 - Point Hacks

It may be worth your while looking at a paid ticket as well - JAL Japan Explorer Pass - JAPAN AIRLINES (JAL) depending on taxes.

Only if they met the weight and size restrictions at the gate, otherwise straight to the cargo hold ;-)

Was everything on our flight except for little kids with a back pack.

Sure 10.3kg, I thought it was about 7 or 8. I would have checked it in but mum gave me a heap of preserves and I had images of various types of jam in my clothes!

Weighed today on a 737 from CBR-MEL. It was frustrating, I got caught out and that's on me (should have read this thread before). In future I will carry a spare bag and take 2 bags. It seems that QF are trying to solve one problem but creating another entirely. I fully recognise that I was in...

Thank you will check these out. I'm 34, my partner is 26 so we should be ok there. I have just taken public transport when I have travelled in the past. Duly noted on the one way charges. I imagine we will be heading back to Launceston.

Hello everyone, Could I please get your advice? I am looking at hiring a car in Tassie for 2-3 days in early January. However, I have never hired a car before. Are there any hints or tips that I should be aware of? Any particular sites? We'd pick up in Launnie and then ideally drop off in...

Slightly off topic, but personal favourites? I quite enjoyed Banda Aceh and Dili. Yogyakarta is on the list but i am always open to ideas.

I still have 2 flights to go this year for Christmas, but this is how my stats will end up for 2018; Segments: 57 Distance flown: 63,001km New airports: PEN, LGK & KNO New airlines: None (i think i will be stuck on 68 airlines for a while) Best flight: MH714 (DPS-KUL) - My first experience in a...

It would have to be a very, very good deal for mine. Living in the Eastern Suburbs the journey is an extra 45 kilometres and 25 minutes in smooth traffic for me.

I had the same thing happen last year on check in for PEK-SYD. I'd gone to Beijing for a long weekend to see if i wanted to go back into working internationally (i didn't - those 12 hour trips in Y were agony) and asked about an upgrade. As my ticket was non-upgradeable i couldn't but the agent...

Same same. I refuse to touch hot water on a plane after getting horrendously ill after drinking coffee on a Jetstar international flight.

I was travelling in the Middle East for work and found that it struggled a bit with accommodation. I also much prefer Tripcase's push notification for delays. They seem to work much better for me. (I say this sitting in Langkawi airport having just been advised that my flight is delayed again!)
