The drop-in at Albion Park was a quick visit to HARS, I suppose? Interesting choice of KAT. I wonder if they required customs clearance for departure or if that could be handled at AKL? Sometimes delivery flights trying to avoid Auckland use Bay of Islands (KKE/Kerikeri) as they have the...

Perhaps he's a Cascade drinker?

Correct. Carefully follow the signs to the TBIT and make sure you make a left turn into the terminal connector BEFORE exiting the terminal at the TSA area. If you step too far, you will be deemed to be exiting and forced to continue walking out, and then will need to go through TSA screening...

Why? NRT is directly surrounding by residential and farming areas, while HND is mostly built on reclaimed land in Tokyo Bay, with many approach/departure paths over water. And more importantly, NRT was built after those residents already lived there, while HND has been there since 1931.

Aww, I looked up what happened and thought I'd see a funny photo of a 747 at Essendon, but it seems like ATC noticed in time and called them off. Not as exciting as the "Dreamlifter" incident in the US in 2013 - the oversize 747 landed at a small GA airport in Wichita, Kansas instead of the air...

https://www.gooneybirdadventures.com/ Looks like they're charging $490 for a 3-hour flight. That's pretty steep - I wonder why the flight is so long?

Not really, we're talking about Qantas here and the Qantas upgrade on the Qantas leg. If Qantas' flight leaves on time, but you're not there due to some other carrier's delay, that's not a Qantas IROPS (one R) situation. This term is specific industry jargon and by using it you imply you know...

Are there circumstances in which it won't spit out that paper and tells you to go to a manned entry desk instead? Like, what happens if you answer that you've been in Africa (not ZA) or PNG in the last 6 days or whatever? I could see the argument that the slip of paper indicates you've...

I also suggest Humayun's Tomb - the inspiration/predecessor for the Taj Mahal. I also recommend getting your hotel to supply you a car and driver - will be more way more comfortable than Uber or similar, and while much more expensive it should still be affordable in AUD. Since you arrive...

Could be the J cabin is oversold, it's rare but it does happen (could be a pilot on duty travel assigned to the cabin, etc). Likely will sort itself out before check-in closes, if you still don't have a seat check with the gate agent.

Bit late to comment, but thought I'd add our experience on the Bernina Express. We went last May, and I can recommend just buying a standard ticket, but perhaps first class if you want to treat yourself. We had the first class section of about 20 seats shared between us and one other couple...

In Germany, you can book special assistance (similar to what you might have experienced on airlines), which is called Mobilitätsservice . If using a travel agent, be sure to request they add this onto your booking, otherwise you'll need to contact DB 24 hours in advance to be sure it's booked...

Three hours is the earliest you can check-in, I find when I arrive that early I'm just in a huge queue. Arriving 2 hours before departure is more the sweet spot. Melbourne doesn't have long immigration or security queues to worry about most times. The earliest Skybus arrival at ~4:30am...

Used the route 20 bus in Rockhampton from Rosslyn Bay to the airport recently. Not so frequent a service and doesn't work for morning departures, but I was able to get a service arriving at 11.57am (running on time) for my departure on QF 1985 at 1:15pm. The 50-cent fares definitely seem to...

Usually check-in still opens 3 hrs prior to the scheduled departure time, but this can be different if the text message says the flight is "rescheduled" rather than delayed - pay attention to their use of that term.

Which airport are you talking about? Security is AFTER immigration at SYD international departures, and there is a separate check for priority security after immigration, regardless of which immigration lane you went through. Is this a different order in other airports (legitimate question).

It depends on the nuances of the specific contract. A merchant as big as Qantas would have bespoke contracts with several acquirers most likely. In many cases, the interchange fees paid to the scheme are refundable, but not the assessment/network fees and whatever markup the...

Envoy Air is a contract operator for American Airlines/American Eagle in the same way that Eastern Australia Airlines, National Jet Systems, etc are contract operators for Qantas/QantasLink . The operator information is provided for legal compliance but otherwise has no impact on you, as...

There's no need to "see" - it has been made very clear to you there is one, and only one, correct answer which is that the flights are treated as an international-to-international connection, using transit security in SYD and baggage fully checked through ( to be collected and customs entry at...

It's likely that you're a regular enough user that you open the app frequently and it synchronises with the cloud data (i.e. the fact that the flight is cancelled), and then cancels the scheduled notification before it has a chance to be delivered. Absent a bug (which as you note could be...
