    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    Yes, the T3 Gold lounge is very good. Better than, say, the QF SYDint J lounge. And, as noted above, the SKL lounge can be very busy and noisy at peak times.

    Qantas boosts international capacity, wet lease Finnair aircraft

    There are plenty in the same boat. I also think PE at twice the price of Y is not good value.

    Qantas Sydney International Business Lounge

    And Qantas deliberately keeping the catering in the J lounge dire reinforces this emotional messaging. It's something they could easily improve with no capital investment but they choose not to - good strategy.

    What's your tip(s) for surviving the cesspool of Hotel booking websites?

    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    You've already booked the flights, so if you add a stopover there's a flight change.

    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    These flights are ex-SIN (their home base), so the efficiency dividend from an identical menu must be miniscule. Wouldn't be costly to cater a gourmet pie or maybe those curry puffs for which Singapore is famous. Fortunately, I do love Singapore carrot cake (it is eaten there from lunchtime to...

    Jetstar Delays/Cancellations

    Very odd. That was in fact all four cancelled JQ48 last week became JQ1048 with similar/same timings. I wonder why.

    What are your air travel micro-hacks?

    Yeah, we do that as well, but if someone takes the middle seat, it doesn't matter, we keep our aisle seats and just don't communicate with each other for the flight! We've just been glued together for several weeks on holiday (or are about to be) so who needs to chat more? But if I need to have...

    AFF Review: QantasLink A220 Business Class (CBR-MEL)

    So worse than VA J in every way. (I think that the VA lounge in CBR is very nice, with very friendly and helpful staff. The only downside is no ham for the toasties.)

    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    SQ A350 LH J seats have to also be flipped over for bed mode. The 777 seats are more spacious than on the 350. But, yeah, the 350 has a much quieter cabin than the 777.
