    FF Status hold new parents

    I used it in 2019 and 2021, and needed to be on leave both times. VA are more flexible for their parental leave.

    The TomCat Family's Luxury Escape

    Khao Lak is lovely, there really is something for everyone. LE have a few packages, the Sands one just ended but it comes around pretty frequently and we were able to book over a year ahead (with no school holiday premium).

    Some final thoughts. MH flight on the new A330 Neo. Crew were lovely. First impression on boarding was that the aisles were super narrow! My rollaboard suitcase barely squeezed though. The seats are also pretty compact, and there is a lack of storage. I ended up stashing things against the...

    Recapping meals on the SQ flight. Service was fantastic, and they kept checking in to see if the kids needed anything. Master TC got a kids meal which was chicken meatballs, mash and veg. He was absolutely not into that. Miss TC got BTC waffles which she had a good go at. He had the vienetta...

    I lose a sock every time I do a load of laundry, which inevitably reappears a week or so later...

    Latest Qantas Business Amenity - Looks and Feels so Cheap

    I asked for one last time but didn't bother this time. They didn't even hand out slippers unless you asked (not even offered).

    Latest Qantas Business Amenity - Looks and Feels so Cheap

    QF used to have male and female kits in F, at least as recently as when we flew in 2019. Not even given a kit on SQ the other night 🤷‍♀️

    Phew, I remembered during landing prep to ask about SQ bears and both kids are chuffed 😍

    I really do like the SQ seat. Plenty of room, and nooks to store stuff. Plus I can squeeze out to help the kids even with the tray table deployed.

    Terrible nights sleep for me but oh well. Quick stop at the butterfly garden on the way to the lounge. Never too early for a flyday champagne.

    I don't know what it is with Crowne Plaza hotels, but I never get the upgrade showing in the app and then I have to push for it. I had to show the app at check in to get club lounge access added to our keys 🤷‍♀️ Clearly the lounge attendant was not convinced as they came to check our room...

    When you order fruit and it comes with a side of fruit 😂 Hopefully I still get dessert 🤔

    Can't complain about these seats for a short flight.

    The TomCat Family's Luxury Escape

    The drive to coughet airport was uneventful and it was probably one of our easiest departures ever. No queue at check-in, immigration or security. They wanted iPads out but we missed one and it wasn't an issue. And I love not having to pull out LAGS anywhere these days. SQ J gives access to The...

    Home time! We're on SQ to Singapore this afternoon, staying at the Changi Crowne Plaza. Looks like we've been upgraded to a 2 double premium lounge access room.

    The TomCat Family's Luxury Escape

    Last night in Thailand, with dinner overlooking the ocean and the sunset. We've definitely found a few favourite places to dine, namely Jasmine (ie the sunset view above) and Spinach. We also tried The eighth chapter for lunch. Lots of pancakes, waffles, fruit and avocado dishes. And coffee...
