    Dubai: seeking hotel recommendation

    Yes more than spacious enough for me. I haven't experienced the Marriott Executive Apartments but if it ticks your boxes and has decent reviews then that may kill two birds with one stone for you.

    Dubai: seeking hotel recommendation

    I used to visit Dubai a few times a year for work and like you would inevitably arrive with a pile of laundry. I almost always stayed at the Flora Creek Deluxe Hotel Apartments in Port Saeed. Pros: washing machine and self catering facilities if you so choose, close to the airport, five minute...

    East Germany options

    I enjoyed my time in Dresden immensely. If you are outdoorsy, the Malerweg is well worth exploring for a day or two. I walked stage 2 from Wehlen to Hohnstein and it was easily accessible on public transport. My partner has a passion for Boleslawiec pottery so next trip we will head into...

    Qantas major delays at LAX

    They did, a colleague was caught up in it and they flew her back on NZ via AKL. She is delighted and couldn't fault QF.

    What type of shop/store would you like to see at the airport that isn't usually there now

    Having just used Melbourne T3, I would like to suggest the radical option of dining facilities post security other than a Krispy Kreme and the single cafe that is running on a skeleton crew...

    Menu roulette

    On my first trip overseas I had an overnight in Seoul courtesy of Asiana. Luckily enough for me, a good friend was also there visiting South Korea and Japan. We went to a local restaurant and pointed at the menu. The dish comes out, chicken and vegetables. My friend is about to tuck in when the...

    Transit through DPS

    I have done something similar and my understanding is that you will need to stay overnight in DPS. The last flight to KUL on MH usually departs at 1920 hours and QF43 doesn't arrive until after 2100. Given this, you will need to go through immigration and I would recommend staying at the...

    Travel to 2020 Tokyo Olympics

    They were a nightmare to deal with for London 2012 too. I was a part of a group who were sourcing tickets and they were just a nightmare. I can't remember details but I do remember tearing my hair out. One thing I do remember, and it may not be applicable to all here, but under EU law if you...

    Thanks! Kuching could be interesting. The Doubletree in Penang hadn't opened yet when I was late there.

    What to do with 68,000 points?

    Hi everyone, Thank you for your advice. My partner has decided she would like to go to NZ for a long weekend to see the snow. Could you recommend any ideas on how best to do this? Am I correct in assuming it would be Queenstown? Thanks in advance Wanderlust_tim

    Upcoming trip to Taipei – Advice welcome on things to do, transport, food and accommodation options

    My favourite destination to travel to and one of the few places overseas where I thought to myself 'i could live here'. There's been a lot of great suggestions so far, to build on some of them: The Maokong Gondola is shut on Mondays from memory. The tea plantations are lovely, as is the temple...

    Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Hong Kong

    Perhaps a new thread might be a good place to discuss? There's quite a few of us on here who would love to do a trip throughout the region. I think it could be an invaluable resource.

    Shortest RPT Flight Flown

    STR-FRA at 88NM. Upon boarding we were given a water bottle and bag of nuts because there was no time for service. I think that boarding took longer than the flight. I was also on a Hazelton or REX flight in the early 2000's that was doing multiple stops in the central west of NSW. Orange to...
