How long is the layover at Brisbane?

100% agree. Probably the most repetitive style of "travel" video for me. Rarely watch these. And weirdly, the youtuber will often do such a video as if they are the only person who has ever flown that seat/flight, like it's something completely new and novel. So I have heard, and very much...

Agree, this is an enjoyable channel. Last month they did their Schengen Showdown which was great. Trailer:

Most regulars here would recommend a 1 night layover at the staging city, as a buffer for any delays.

It's the first sector out of AU that is almost impossible at that time of year for 4pax. Search from TYO or BKK to Europe. We found 4 JAL seats in J from HND to FRA last year. You'll need to make a paid staging staging flight to your pivot point in asia, but you should be able to pick up the...

Worryingly though, at this location on the Monte Rosa glacier, the hikers often are roped together. A poster on AU Ski forum contributed his own photos of when he was there, on another occasion and sure enough they are roped together. Just sheer luck that this incident wasn't way worse. I...

Oh god I didn't even think of that. That would have been disastrous

I can't imagine the Swiss authorities are the forgiving type...

I wasn't clear on that one either. Is it based off a footballer etc who ended up a bit "tired and emotional" on a Jetstar flight? Edit: or maybe this incident Jetstar Responds To Viral TikToker Who Claims Staff 'Abused' Him At Melb International Airport

So change the KPI’s? A good operation would be measuring “First Call Resolution”

Why can’t QF train their call centre agents one simple thing: “If you don’t know the procedure to handle a particular request, put the caller on hold and ask a more experienced colleague or supervisor.” Instead they just say no, it’s not possible and hang up. Customer ends up making multiple...

Would definitely recommend to go for it. An otherworldly experience. Surprisingly good - the low angle of the natural light brings out the shadows in the terrain. Additionally, all the major pistes are floodlit. It’s only ‘dark’ at noon like my photos for a couple of weeks either side of...

Chuck Yeager did about 14000. His biography is a great read, highly recommended. Most of those 14,000 would have been in single seaters.

Don’t take it personally, I am absolutely not having a go at you. Rather just posting my impression of the article. My feeling is that it has been wildly embellished as rage bait. Anonymous traveller, who declined to contact DFAT, so there is no record there. Some of the alleged quotes from...

Putting it together with some of the more outlandish claims in the article, the article feels like “rage bait”. What really happened probably lies somewhere it the middle.

This story feels a bit embellished I have to say. “the official told him his visa had been cancelled and that he was banned from entering the US for five years, including as a transit passenger.” The reference to “transit passenger” is suspect. This is not a thing in the US. All incoming...

I guess one solution would be for the airline to allow you to buy a "ghost ticket". Basically you pay the fare, dont fly, but still get the credit. Such tickets would also probably be exempt from airport fees and taxes.
