I know I don't want to. In the past I've done quite a few trips between AU and EU in Y (but with a couple of stops on the way) and I likely won't be doing it again. But. of course you're quite welcome to do it. Well, I say that, but if I was travelling with my partner, and it was A330's all the...

I'm not sure if things have changed that much, so when I arrive at TPE in Feb I'll be withdrawing a fair bit of cash, to tide me over my stays.

Sadly, this is one for the history books. I picked up a few cases of this very nice drinking wine a few years ago at auction. The last bottle went this evening.

Well, yes. These flights are great value (for young people), but I wouldn't fly Y for more than about 5 hours, and only on a decent airline. Not sure I'd call Chinese airlines "decent". Excepting CX of course.

But would my Aussie MC/Visa be accepted? Based on my experiences in Taiwan, I would fear not, so having cash would be the only option?

NT Govt must have offered a huge inducement.

As has been noted above, there are ways to check availability online. However, if there isn't anything suitable ex DBV or SPU, I'd suggest taking Flixbus to ZAG, where there is often a lot more availability, I've done it myself recently.

I'm not sure what you are trying to imply here. Would it be OK if he was?

That's good to know, but it probably won't help me in a few weeks time. And the other thing is, I couldn't find anywhere in Taiwan that would accept a non-Taiwanese credit/debit card (including supermarkets and conveniencw stores). So, probably, the Easycard will live on for foreigners (and...

I'm flying CX regional J on the 777 (2-3-2) in a few weeks and have selected an aisle bulkhead seat, as the window seat is blocked for a bassinet. However, I would prefer the window seat. Does anyone know if this becomes available for selection at OLCI?

You can buy it from trip.com. There are really not many other discounts available to non-UK residents. I'm visiting the UK in March and will be travelling from London to the North West to see my sister. My railcard has expired, and doing the maths, I've decided not to renew it. I really...

Unfortunately not in Taiwan. The Easycard is ubiquitous and can be used almost anywhere, but to top-up an Easycard you need....CASH.

As a data point, a couple of years ago I had to cancel a flight due to my wife being incapacitated with an illness. I rang the call centre (as a Plat) and just asked them to cancel the ticket (it was a Choice ticket, with basically no refund). I didn't ask for or expect a refund, but the agent...

Let's just say that I was underwhelmed by this sale (as I always am with Qantas).

I get plenty too, but as I don't use cloud storage it's not too hard to spot.

Never had that problem myself. I've always entered my QF No with leading zeroes (paid bookings) and its stuck the whole way through, including into the champagne bar at the Wing F lounge HKG (RIP). Of course, this reported phenomenon is something to watch out for, but you should always enter...

Still not as good as VA, where it all happens virtually same day. Qantas is still the worst refunder of my main FF airlines, ie VA, BA, UA.

Yes, this a real problem for VA. It worked well with EY, but unfortunately QR kicked them out. It's a real negative for me booking VA, as I have *G and OWE.

Yes, I agree that's very poor, but neither does VA. However, VA processes the refunds straight away. Qantas just wants to hang on to your money for as long as possible (or longer if they can). AJ's ghost still lingers.

Yeah, A330 DXB-CMB. I selected the one flight of the day with the lie flats, and it also suited my schedule better. Let's see if it sticks.
