Descending into Bengaluru We landed a few minutes early and as they’d connected two air bridges we were off nearly straight Greeting committee We’d completed our e-Visas (handy tip - use Edge in incognito mode) and our e-arrival cards. You don’t get a copy of the e-visa, just an e-mail...

Yeh, yeh, once you fly business you’re ruined. Sure the seat is smaller and more cramped (ok, very cramped) but the service was great and we did not go hungry or thirsty. Anyone else here seen these seats except when turning forward? Plane spotting as we waited to take off and just as we...

Day 1,Jan 27, Brisbane-Sydney-Bengaluru The best laid plans of bPete and bAl… Uber booked for 3:40am to get us to the airport with 30 minutes to spare before bag drop closure. Up at 2:45 and downstairs waiting at 03.30 hoping they would arrive early but they didn’t actually arrive at all. Our...

For the last 15 years of my career I worked closely with IT teams based in Bengaluru/Bangalore. I became friends with many of the team members and we'll be catching up with the best of them all on our last night. Saravana is hosting us at his home. In our conversations he's asked if we have...

Thanks for great report Roo. I’ve already said it but was great to read such an ‘up’ review :)

Haha, we thought that too!

In Thekkady. It looks like a really nice little town. No idea what we’ll do and how it’s celebrated in India.

It's annual new year's trip time. Last year we froze in South Korea. This year we were thinking tropical but Thailand flight and hotel costs nixxed that idea. We've done Port Douglas and Palm Cove too many times so that was also crossed out. How about India? Flights to Begaluru were very...

I think Roo was very circumspect in his description

I’ll check that everything is in order when we go in early May :)

Love to hear the joy in your post Roo!!

We were next door at Nusa Dua Beach Resort and Spa. Blissfully quiet ;)

South Island sandflies. Makes me itch just thinking about them!

@NM was telling me over the weekend that his love of flying began at age 10 with a family flight to the UK on a BOAC VC10

It’s quite a while since I bought and after reading the thread and comments about poor shipping quality I was a bit concerned. Our six Croser bottles arrived this morning, brought into the building lobby, and upon opening, packed properly. I feel we have been lucky.

Lovely report Justin. It was one of the best flights of our lives. Spectacular doesn't come close. So glad you enjoyed it. Don't worry about whinging about the prices. Every time we go we do the same. They seem to increase exponentially every time we go. 25 years ago I thought it was so cheap...

You get around don't you :) You might come across The World while you're up there RF. She's on a West Papua expedition at the moment

I had the same earlier in the evening, presented slightly differently. Quite nice I thought

It came straight down the river yesterday afternoon and we were pummled. Rain and hail hit the top of our 2.7m sliders, 3m in from the glass balcony railing. Pretty scary for a while. The door tracks couldn't cope with the volume of water and it came bubbling in. Luckily we have a vinyl plank...

I forgot to mention that they were wandering around the MEL J lounge with champagne, yep, the real stuff, late on Sunday arvo. NM and I managed a couple of glasses before jetting off on our delayed A220 flight home.
