    Hokkaido

    Have a look at Biei. The countryside is straight out of a storybook.

    Roomba, Dysons, Thermomix and other household appliances

    We used to, until I picked it up one day and found that it was cool as underneath when running. Don't bother now. Of course YMMV for those with other brands.

    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    Years ago flying OZ via ICN, they took your BP and managed the shower queue by departure time. I felt like it worked well.

    Interesting experience flying AA.

    The Doug Parker led AA took the tools away from the staff on the ground. They MUST follow what the computer says. Staff no longer have any discretion to help.

    Hertz - Electric car fuel charge

    That is about what you would have spent on petrol anyway. I agree that it should have been explained to you when you picked up the car as you didn't specifically reserve an EV. However that pricing seems to be competitive.

    Checking in golf clubs

    Buy a $6.45 20l Bunnings pail to protect your clubs a la the Home Depot bucket that has been posted online. I've also heard that unscrewing driver heads and putting them in your carry-on can help.

    Giro d'...toddler?

    Ah the joys of travelling with toddlers 🙃 I'm maybe a little surprised you didn't find our TR from 2019 showing the F bassinet 😉

    Best Airline for Escorted Travel?

    If you go UA, you can purchase a concierge service for the LAX connection and MEL arrival. Unfortunately not available at YUL. This is in addition to wheelchair assistance which needs to be requested separately.

    A bit of humour

    To be fair, anyone local calls it that

    Denali Demo and Rebuild

    Don't think you'd recognise the Melbourne skyline these days

    A flight a day ...

    Why not both? 🤣

    A flight a day ...

    Yes, unprompted.

    Miss Tomcat has been given bears on all her SQ flights to date

    Iflyflat course - worth it?

    If you've been on AFF since 2011, you probably know more than he does.

    I got an involuntary flight change and this is what happened…

    Good result. However it should have been taken care of in the first instance.

    Qantas flags record profit.

    Ding ding ding.... correct. These days AAgents have no discretion to help customers. They have to follow what the computer says.

    I got an involuntary flight change and this is what happened…

    You 100% should have been allocated a J seat MEL-SYD if there was one available for sale.

    I got an involuntary flight change and this is what happened…

    The JNB call centre do not have full access and absolutely have all sorts of issues seeing seats that are available for sale. This call centre is an absolute disgrace and QF is a disgrace for continuing to use a call centre that still has not been trained properly and given proper system access...

    Best lounge in Melbourne for an SQ F flight?

    The SQ F lounge at SYD is the best option. Don't really waste your time anywhere else.
