    Purchasing or hiring ski boots in Nozawa Onsen

    While getting them on mountain is a good idea, Japan does lack decent boot fitting, esp in English and in smaller resorts.

    Purchasing or hiring ski boots in Nozawa Onsen

    I would agree with this 100%. Get own boots in Aus, and get fitted well. Kanda has a million shops but they all sell almost the exact same stuff, too. There’s more variety here with our 4-6 shop brands.

    Buying a cheap ski home in Japan

    It’s crazy. That was measured in person, ordered, made up, shipped, installed and cleaned up. I assume it’s not gas filled but for what I need it’s a great price. Was the highest spec they did.

    In honesty, no time. I wish I had a knack for languages but I’m terrible with them.

    Gifting baggage allowance

    The airlines work on the theory that frequent flyers rarely travel with their full allowance. In fact most rarely bother to check anything at all. It costs them nothing but is a great perk for you. Anything to facilitate being used would cost them, in fuel at least if not lost revenue...

    Buying a cheap ski home in Japan

    May as well update this thread. So we’ve spent (between my brother, and parents, who went 1/3rds) about 16 weeks there since purchase in Jan 2024. We’ve cleaned the place up and done a few tip trips to clear out the older stuff (it was left fully furnished, all in great nick). We’ve installed...

    Vietnam - Insurance cover for being a pillion passenger

    What's the funniest PNR you have had?

    I've had a few but I sent a "HATEIT" to the client and just prefaced with "this is system generated". I use sabre so more room for funny stuff as it's 6 letters only.

    ANA Perth-Tokyo flight - now year-round

    I'll say that their economy fares are a sale compared to usual pricing but a real business sale from Perth is rarer than rocking horse poo.

    ANA Perth-Tokyo flight - now year-round

    This flight is now daily for the summer/northern winter and cherry blossoms. A “sale” has just come out, the first business sale all year. Prices are higher than the non sale business fare I booked in Jan 😂

    Amex platinum business

    Business platinum is held in personal name anyway so I suspect you’ll be fine claiming whatever you want. It’s much harder for cards that are actually held by the business, which would need more documentation.

    Indonesia's Bali considering increasing Tourism tax levy to deter 'low-class foreign tourists'

    Qantas PER-SIN schedule change 26 Oct

    We have a Jetstar flight too, don’t we? It keeps coming and going I can’t keep track. But it’s a bit “200 channels and nothing but cats” with the timings. My most ideal is QF up and Scoot back on the midday-ish service of each. Next is is SQ at 0640 and 0930 back. After that it’s all pretty...

    Qantas PER-SIN schedule change 26 Oct

    I like the earlier departure, this is perfect for kids and to get the weekend started. But the trip home is the reason (outside of cost) that I never book QF on this route. Too late for the kids. 2-3 hours earlier would be the dream.
