I’m willing to be Dr Cam Jr, and take that J flight as one of the kids, if it helps! I’ll be super convincing!

Surely if you “get sick” and “can’t make it” and call them to tell them you “can’t make it” … they aren’t going to re-book you on the next available flight, in J for a whole family, at their cost, when you are the no-show? *edit* I assumed a “stopover” in Sydney … ie. the final flight to NAN...

So few Australians living in Australia follow that law, that I reckon you’ve got Buckleys of getting people from Wrong Hand Drive countries to do it correctly. I mean half the population of Pomgolia lives in London where getting around by means of anything other than public transport is a solid...

I think that unless you’ve paid for something you’re not getting, this wouldn’t be applicable. However … the existence of loyalty schemes means that you HAVE potentially paid for something you can no longer get, you’ve used the airline with the intention of accumulating loyalty-credits and...

That wasn't the intention ... I myself think that's annoying at the very best ... what I'm saying is that Ryan Air doesn't think that people who can't do that aren't worth the effort catering for. It's a comment on who Ryan Air is purposely selling to & on Ryan Air themselves, not on what my...

Yep, I reckon they've decided people who can't work that out aren't their target market. I generally hadn't even noticed it myself, but I see it with Mum all the time, there's just heaps of stuff she can't even do because she's decided she doesn't want to learn to use a touchscreen anything...

I reckon they've done their sums, and decided that people who don't have access to a smartphone aren't in their target-market.

I’ve most likely not been there near as frequently as you have … but last two times I was there while my better-half still had lounge access, the general terminal had heaps of seats where the QF lounge had none plus the general terminal had nice nibblies & drinks to buy where the QF lounge...

Except surely there are places where you’ve used the lounge before, so you know the general area of the terminal is a much nicer place to be? Like Hobart?

^ “The leaders of the World Crime Fighters” … :D

And safety words too!

My very limited experience has me thinking that, to get an idea for what August 2027 will cost for travel, a regular search on August 2026 from now ‘til the end of the year would be helpful. And note when the specials appear, so you know when to look nearing the end of next year. Prolly a few...

General - I’m going with “who cares”, it’s not doing something icky or has any effect on any other passenger. Practical - OK I’m with you entirely there, that’s just rude.

I’m with you … and a billionty times better than doing it while driving!

Maybe they’re not reporting it ‘cos it’s expected? Not Thailand specifically, just anywhere outside the First World.

While I (obviously!) don't know in this case, my guess would be that it's a spending-pattern thing. According to their data, you're considered likely to buy stuff from the Apple store, and highly unlikely to be buying recycled pickle-juice hamburgers (or for $6.95 these days, three soggy...

I felt pretty ripped-off when my better-half had lounge access, we were at HBA, and that was the lounge available. If I’d had no experience with lounges I maybe would’ve been happy with having access to it, but having looked around a few airports I don’t see value in being allowed in there … it...

Well ... that's the thing. If you're getting free upgrades that works well, but if you're paying the extra cash each-way for the fare, then you could spend a fraction of that on a better beer or a better coffee. And the seat thing ... it's an unusual situation when you can't find a decent one...

That airport is one of the many ones which makes me question the value of domestic lounge access … last time I was in there, even the toilets were less busy in the general airport area. But then … the $15 I paid on Friday in Sydney T2 for a better coffee & a better pastry than you can get in...

As a soon-retiree ... I'd pay for F internationally, but there's pretty much zero chance of paying extra for domestic J, the extra 5cm-maybe of knee-room (about the only actual benefit I can think of - even though I don't have lounge access the terminals are no less comfortable and the...
