I have to admit I was INVOLVED in the strangest onboard activity Ive seen. Many years ago (1989) a group of about 20 of us were on the same flight heading to Bali for a Skydiving Convention... super cheap package deal, Garuda both ways (but turned out to be an American chartered DC-10 operating...

I travel for target shooting competitions..one of which uses guns of the old west era (and costuming lol) and requires each shooter have an alias. I looked around for something Australian but still "period" and decided on "trooper". Inspired by Samuel Nelson, the NSW Colonial policeman who was...

Booking direct with Thai you could fly LHR-BKK-SYD 15 December-6 January for Euro 6500, Under 6k if you are prepared to book with online travel agents. That has a 6.5 hour BKK layover outbound, and a full overnight inbound.

Head off to TSV mid August for an Aussie National Championships..then without returning home its BNE-AKL-LAX-AUS for the US National Championships..of the SAME SPORT! On the following weekend! ;) Then CMH-LASand a drive up to Salt Lake City for the Utah State match of a related and very...

After reading this series of posts MY input seems a bit trivial! I had shoulder surgery 6 weeks ago... bicep tendon and some other stuff... I'm surprised that I am still getting fairly significant pain at times... but apparently thats not unusual. Much greater range of movement than 2 weeks...

It seems to be quite variable. I have only used Booking.com for hotels (and never had a problem..luck..or??) I recently booked a multi airline J trip on Aunt Betty via Skyscanner ..and had both airlines PNRs within a very short time. Itinerary shows on both Airline web sites exactly as booked...

And apparently travelling on an ESTA. Why not a Spousal visa? Regardless of relationship status she couldn't legally stay on that document... yet surely the risk of her doing so (with her internet husband) must be seen as unacceptably high? We don't see it I suppose but my understanding is...

Hmmm... I visited Oman..in late 1990.... but arrived by sea and don't recall actually showing a passport to anyone... (RAN ship) I suspect i'll get away with saying No to the question of previous visits!

France for me. Received the paperwork at my home address here...so the Rental company must have passed on my details..but they did NOT pay the fine, nor did they charge any admin fee. The fine was quite low by Aussie standards.... lol... and I was still eligible for the "Discounted early...

Have booked my last flights with them for now. Travel in august. (Bookings before May 28 get 2 free bags regardless of when you fly) Be interesting to see if the change sticks.

If I book a flight and seats that I can pay for are available I would expect that if I paid for one then I would retain the seat. (Subject to truly operational considerations ) I realise where you are coming from but how would YOU feel if moved from a carefully chosen seat to some random...

Alamo simply requires a license that is "valid, unexpired and contains a photograph" They do specify that Learner permits are not acceptable. It really does look like a Provisional license would be OK (Which was a surprise to me... but then I'm old..lol)

So a total of about 72"/180cm? W-D-H...0r 10"/24cm over.... They DO look quite big...

Thanks, and yes, Ive tried that but (possibly as an AA award) it doesn't show the allowance..

Inexperienced in the QF world! I have an award flight CBR-MEL-TSV, booked with 20k AA miles (that used to be US miles ;) ) in Biz. But of course the CBR-MEL flight is in X, no Biz on that one. Will I get 2x baggage allowance at check in without argument, or at all?

In National Capital Private again 2 weeks ago for a shoulder op. Only 1 night in.. and again, a long day of nil by mouth before the actual surgery. Sandwiches afterwards. BUT..the next morning... Eggs/Bacon/Tomato/Yoghurt/Corn flakes/Toast/Juice/Tea. That was more like it! :D 🤗

Surgery on my shoulder last week. Now in a sling, and not allowed to drive for SIX weeks. (Ack!) I'm an old bachelor and I have to say I did not imagine just how difficult living with one useable arm would be. :oops: It reaches the point of hilarity at times... "Nope..can't do that either!"...

Which airlines give 32kg to Y pax flying to/from USA???

Just back from a February trip and yes, going again in August. Poor exchange rate will mean a shorter trip than originally planned. Thats the only difference. Entry procedure in Feb was no different to last year, or the year before..etc etc - have NEVER been asked to hand over phone/laptop...

Just another data point. US trip in February. LAX arrival was entirely routine...and I travel with guns! ;) Planning another trip in August and not expecting anything different TBH. Might try for a different entry port though. (SFO, IAH?) Long lines at LAX seem to be much more common in the...
