    TV series discussion {'ware Spoiler Alert}

    OK, well my White Lotus finale comments and thoughts while watching the episode: Ewww, Lochlan, feral teenage boy. Phew, Lochlan didn't do the nasty with his sister. Why the flip didn't old old mate get security to escort Rick out of the resort when he saw him? Why the flip didn't old old...

    Let's talk about Ryokans

    We stayed in a Ryokan in Hakone for onsen back in Sept, 2017. While yukata may have been available for many sizes, I was given a man's one as it was bigger than the women's ones available. I am 6' tall and not skinny, and I could barely wear the yukata in our room. Definitely couldn't wear it...

    Airfares to US to drop?

    As far as I know (last ESTA completed a year ago), answering those questions is optional. 1742956923 I had that in Las Vegas in the late 90s, seemed to be the standard at that airport.

    Qantas double status credits: Register & book between 12-18 March 2025

    Might be a Fight Club question, not sure what to say here. I had a set of flights that I hoped would accrue DSCs due to the Feb 2024 promotion. Has anyone else attempted to fly post the cutoff date and DSCs came through? I don't know if perhaps due to flying in the middle of the latest...

    Airfares to US to drop?

    I'm holding off booking a trip for one of two conferences in May due to the volatility in US immigration activities. While I'm a white, middle-aged lady who speaks English as a first language and am not a criminal, it feels far more likely that US immigration agents could find any reason to...

    Recent Experiences with Qantas' terminal transfer at SYD

    Just transferred through this morning. After a messy mosh pit to get through customs - backed up through Duty Free, then a section after the shop in the middle blocked off, we were all hustled over to the left side, through some cattle runs, then over to the right side and down the ramps. Let...

    Qantas Business Class meals & menus

    QF4 AKL-SYD Sun 16 March A fast flight, just somewhat over 2.5hrs in the end. We arrived about an hour early. Now, the food: I had the omelette. I thought it was OK. Mr Katie wanted the Avo on toast, but apparently the crucial ingredient of avocado was not loaded. He had the omelette and...

    QF3 SYD-AKL Fri 14 March Mr Katie had the big bowl of soup. He said it wasn’t what he’d call a big bowl. Ice cream was cold, but spoonable, rather than being a frozen rock.

    QF503 BNE-SYD 5:20am departure 😳 Choices: Bircher muesli, Eggs and Sausage or Bacon and Egg pie. His nibs and I both had the pie. It his the spot after about 3-4hrs of sleep. Tasty enough, I declined the bread.
