As there is no outbound passport control and no need for additional security, in theory all it would physically need is some e-gates with boarding pass scanning when moving from airside in other terminals to TBIT (to prevent domestic pax from entering the area), and rules preventing exit from...

MEX-Tokyo (SYD-1000 mi) seems to be OK, but to your point MEX-Shenzhen (SYD+700 mi) has a refuelling stop in Tijuana when returning from MEX. Would be better suited to a funnel via AKL if anything, you then get MEL/SYD/BNE one stop (advantage over LAX- no US entry requirement) and AKL origin...

From what I can tell this isn't old news. It's old, old news. :rolleyes:

So it depends if I'm there for leisure or for work. For work I want quick and convenient, at home it's cereal and toast which is quick, I prefer that when away for work or something equally quick, usually I don't want to overeat at breakfast. For leisure, I'm much more inclined to take my...

When I was about 13 it was Cameron's Corner which was my first, albeit fleeting, visit to Queensland 🤣 At that age it was neat to have part of your body in NSW, part in SA and part in Qld. Staying close to home, going to the top of Kosciouszko and taking a small excursion to the Tropic Of...

I find it reassuring our data is not yet with being fully leveraged. TBH, probably the supermarkets seem to do it the best - with good reason - mostly high frequency purchases with regular repeat purchases. For airlines, most passengers are unlikely to be frequent repeat purchasers of the...

Yet it to me it tasted disgusting, it looked and tasted like a fishier version of tinned tuna! In any event I of course enjoyed the satays, and didn't really need any more food at 11am ... especially after breakfast in the lounge.

All very well unless your tastebuds (or worse your allergies) and seafood are incompatible. Seafood maybe premium, but it is something that you like or hate. (I 'm on the hate side, with some exceptions when complemented by overpowering other flavours, like in a laksa ). So for most SQ...

Always be wary, I gave ChatGPT a task to find something out (getting an email receipt from a rideshare app, which I couldn't see how on the app) and it gave incorrect advice a couple of times.

No definitely only 10%. And it's a different notice to the regular "Notice of Assessment" it is instead a "Notice of Withholding tax" and applies a 10% tax to any interest you declared (where withholding tax not already taken). I think a couple of issues arise, a number of bank accounts...

You can cry or you can just have a laugh… (Particularly from 05:20 mark)

I actually enjoy it. It's quite zen - really quiet, peaceful space, usually very few people in there. It's appropriately sized for the number of F seats and Solitaire's that pass through MEL. Sometimes it's nice to be away from the crowds and have a quiet space - but maybe it appeals...

Whilst as a basic rule I prefer to avoid overnight flights wherever possible, the north/west bound overnights from East CoastAustralia to SE Asia are IMHO more palatable than the south/east bound ones from SE Asia to Australia. They are slightly longer and have better departure and arrival...

Is there not a difference between splitting the bill (itemised, which has always been an issue) and splitting payment (put x on this card and y on this one, which seems to only have become more of an issue recently)? Last time I tried this was simply told computer says no. (Or similar words).

A couple of weeks ago I “connected “ in LHR from T2 to T4 on separate tickets from SQ to AT. SQ were able to through check my luggage (thankfully), and thus I contemplated doing an airside transfer. When I reached the connections area and just missed a bus I gather. Published time for...

If they have enough serviceable aircraft. That's probably their main constraint now.

To be a little cynical they achieved what they wanted. No need for them any more. ABX-MEL, as pointed out is not a good route for leisure travellers and not good times for business travellers. IIRC Rex used to fly at least daily (if not 2x) during weekdays at more business friendly times...

Whilst I agree that it is questionable whether this route will work, picking up demand from MEL which is constrained may help But frankly, I suggest outside the AFF echo chamber the target market for this is not people who are taking business class CBR-SYD/MEL-SIN-DPS. It’s turning a 6hr...

Aah, GenSan. I've been there at least half a dozen times., for work, but not in the last 10 years. First time I ever stayed in a hotel with security guards at the driveway entrance with visible semi (I assume) automatic weapons. That was in 2004, but the safety did seem to improve over...

It would probably be on brand for Jetstar to have and sell codeshares from CBR-SYD to connect with JQ flights out of SYD , with codeshares operated by Murray’s :-)
