Bear in mind though, aircraft substitution is not that uncommon on such routes. What is presently scheduled to fly vs what type of aircraft actually makes the flight can be two different things.

And to complete the picture - for this one you have to ring up before midnight, correct? That's how I always understood it.

I think they make a dogtag or similar to wear around the neck to advise his condition to medical personnel in an emergency. Is that wiorthwhile when travelling abroad? Thailand is potentially risky. Nuts in a lot of foods. If he’s just on a short layover, maybe a known quantity like Maccas...

Ultimately these days there's too many points out there chasing too few seats. Controversial thought: Maybe they should just go back to giving points solely by flying? Literally a FF scheme. You can get 100K points from about $2k wine.

Anyone care to share any recent experiences with the Dubai Connect program? I found a good deal on flights to Europe, and it has a 19hour layover, which qualifies for Dubai Connect. This actually suits us, as we're travelling with kids and it's essentially a free stopover to break up the...

Vail Resorts CEO resigns: https://townlift.com/2025/05/vail-resorts-ceo-kirsten-lynch-resigns-following-park-city-mountain-struggles/

I do wonder how it seems to have flown completely under the radar of competition regulators in multiple countries.

Google flights is showing a 2 stopper with Lufthansa and Asiana for $2481AUD (~€1412) Interesting that it drops further to $2140 when I try to book. Have a play with Google Flights. DEPART Mon 15 Dec 08:30Dublin Airport (DUB) Travel time: 2 hrs 11:30Frankfurt Airport (FRA)...

This US phenomenon is spreading like a cancer.

Very few reliable options in late Nov. Couple of places that do generally have good conditions at that time of year: Levi Finland. Up in Lapland, north of the arctic circle. Will be blanketed in snow by then. There are direct flights from many UK airports and also AMS. Solden Austria. Has a...

And to think some people still don't believe we are descended from the apes!

Quite some years ago, I was on a Swiss long haul flight from Singapore (I think?) to Zurich. During the flight they brought a duty free trolley through the cabin, selling, amongst other things, some reasonably expensive watches. I thought nothing of it, but several hours later, when the cabin...

I think Lech would be the better bet. It's also got a nicer, more picturesque village scene. Whereas St Anton village at times resembles Ibiza in the snow. Think large groups of heavily drunken dutch and german blokes noisily roaming the streets at 2am. Not really a thing at Lech. Note you...

What standard are the skiiers? Probably my favourite resort in the world but St Anton is not ideal for anyone below advanced intermediate. It's a challenging resort and the home trails can be quite treacherous when packed with traffic later in the day. Lech is a better allrounder, and has...

Scissors might be an issue. Perhaps not at SIN which has security at the gate, but most other places would pose an issue I think.

It’s become a very big weekend for national sporting fixtures too. Lot of interstate travel.

Yes a great tool.

How long is the layover at Brisbane?

100% agree. Probably the most repetitive style of "travel" video for me. Rarely watch these. And weirdly, the youtuber will often do such a video as if they are the only person who has ever flown that seat/flight, like it's something completely new and novel. So I have heard, and very much...
