WCMO yesterday? Really trivial stuff sometimes. Like yesterday when swimming laps in my Condo pool. This pool is 50m x 15m. No-one else in the pool. I plonk my water bottle down in the middle of the pool at one end and start my laps. Someone else comes along and they get into the pool in...

Odd. Must be down to country specific configurations of google search. Even if I type "Liverpool FC news" it just returns Mens team news. Maybe in AU there's more interest in Womens football and the algorithm reflects that?

But it has other limits "It can be a maximum size of 45 x 36 x 20 cm (including any handles and wheels) and must be kept under the seat in front of you." Most wheelaboards are bigger than that. You can however buy wheelaboards that are marketed as "easyjet underseat" luggage that are these...

At least they haven’t gone down the European LCC route. 1 small backpack or handbag free, pay for a wheelaboard - with prices for the wheelaboard fluctuating according to demand, just like the airfares do. That would be something to be upset about.

You didn't accidentally click the "Women's football" tab, which when you click on news returns articles about the women's team? When looking for news on anything I omit the word news and switch to the news section. Same here, as long as the "Men's football" tab is highlighted switching to...

That’s remarkably polite of you. It pains me a little to be so flipping rude but I’m well practiced at ignoring touts wherever I am in the world, just walking straight past without even looking at them - whether it be at some tourist hotspot, walking past massage touts returning to my hotel in...

When adding a stopover, you're now basically stuck with "home market" inventory, that you have to share with Singaporean based travellers, which is much tighter than competitive inventory between outstations. I've noticed post-covid SIN-xx_ or xx_-SIN inventory has been much tighter and more...

My partner is Solitaire, and I have status as supplementary Solitaire. Before COVID, put in an economy waitlist it was bound to come through - fairly quickly, even if the flight was quite full. Business class was more hit and miss. Now waitlists, even in economy, almost never come through...

Because it's time for the them to get on the career ladder? (if you know you know, if you don't never mind).

Now another 10 years and the airport line might be started. Or ready perhaps? As an aside, not a big fan of the free transport piece for bookable V-line services. Leads to speculative bookings, and people who need to travel last minute potentially miss out. But I guess people probably do...

I don’t know about those characteristics but have noticed the A350 to be quieter than the 777.

Not that many, but still a few years until I hit 60. But it won't affect me at least on the route between MEL-SIN. I flew TK last week in economy, and no way I was going to stump up almost $300 to allocate an exit row seat. Nor was of the mind to pay $90 to allocate myself a standard seat on...

Uber about $15-25 from BXG depending on where your accommodation is. That's probably the most efficient option. The two hour journey from Southern Cross can easily become 3 or 4 hours depending on the time you land at MEL wrt train and bus schedules. Coming from MEL, if you're a fit (and...

On the topic of tax and rental properties another WCMO, this narrative around greedy landlords! I have on older 2 br flat that I rent out. Just doing my tax. Yes, I've put the rent up 25% over the course of the last 2-3 years, or $90/week. But guess what the increase has been over the...

TBH, sums up the problems with the lounge for J pax. Despite all the complaints about the "dungeon" aspect I don't mind the physical environment, but I do always sit in the lighter, more open area to the left of the doors as you enter, not where most people gravitate to at the rear of the...

Different scenario to booking two connecting flights and skipping the last one. The long stopover should substantially reduce the risk. You’ve travelled on 5 of the 6 sectors already.

My favourite (not) is "Your call is important to us" repeated ad nauseum. No it is not. Otherwise you would have answered it an hour ago when I started the call.

Submitted a claim for Vueling, as flight was cancelled apparently due to a missing pilot (and couldn’t find a replacement, oddly at their base BCN). Was all done using online chatbot. It was advised that claim would be processed after 10 days. Then at 10 days asked for bank account details...

The same spokesperson quoted in the HBA/CBR/MQL base closure thread? 🤣

Yeh, I've never taken the airport bus, have done the train + Uber/Taxi, same time, slightly cheaper and more services a day, and you get dropped off at T2 checkin area instead of out the back of T4...
