    Qantas forcing everyone to use self-service check-in kiosks in AKL

    Domestic connection to international multi-segment flights Mobility assistance is required to get from check in to the gate area. Extra baggage fees are required (and known in advance) I am certain more reasons can be envisaged. Qantas management should do more interesting wandering Fred

    A330s out of life

    Depending on the flight departure time, I would prefer a window in row 2 or 3. Better for leaning and sleeping.

    Who is going to the USA, who has changed their travel and what will you do differently?

    RE: Entry issues are immigration USA: If you were born in the Americas, outside of the USA, and have tattoos (MS-13 etc markers) a lot of people are "twitchy" and a LOT of questions are to be expected (even with a long term visa) Even with a USA passport, there can be a lot of questions. HKG...

    Connection times at DFW are "interesting" In a more general case, the airlines need to permit more reasonable connections when "disability assistance" is requested. Being last off the plane is not "helpful". Fortunately I have not needed to use that option when I am solo wandering FRed
