Little things? ;) Decided I'm too old for tents, finally. So for my sporting travels I just bought a TINY caravan... 9 feet long, tare under 700kg, and no canvas! Weather did NOT cooperate for its first test use. No leaks though so a useful exercise perhaps?

It was a QF flight from HKG (IIRC) for me too. In fact several Flyertalkers/AFFers were on the same flight to SYD. The Lounge stayed open - and the barman - who was VERY good BTW - was completely unfazed it seems about the extension of his shift due to the delay.....I was very impressed... mind...

It might be a little specialised? But Pegasus Bridge and its adjacent museum was very good....

Well not really. If buying the Skycouch "for one" its THREE seats... and they have what is effectively a second seat "pan" hinged down at the front which converts the trio to a short, but reasonably wide bed....with special belts and a pretty nice bedding pack... Wouldn't recommend it for 2 Adults.

How many side trips like that? Wouldn't the cost of those flights remove any savings?

3 or 4 Skycouches on NZ? Just another thought. 4 would price slightly LESS than 5 x PE. Two littleist kids share one? Not sure how easy to GET 4 on one flight (and suspect you'd have to call if you wanted it all on one booking) Oz-AKL-LAX/SFO isn't a bad transit.

You are no doubt correct. I don't know other folks situations, so I can't comment.. BUT by the time I actually BOOK the chances of any changes being required are extremely slim. Hence my relative confidence in booking through those channels.

We were all used to flying in and jumping from aircraft such as Cessna 172/182/206 or at best BN Islanders or Twin otters. In those smaller aircraft is was possible to affect the longditudinal trim by fairly minor movement... to the irritation of our long suffering pilots. We were simply doing...

I have to admit I was INVOLVED in the strangest onboard activity Ive seen. Many years ago (1989) a group of about 20 of us were on the same flight heading to Bali for a Skydiving Convention... super cheap package deal, Garuda both ways (but turned out to be an American chartered DC-10 operating...

I travel for target shooting competitions..one of which uses guns of the old west era (and costuming lol) and requires each shooter have an alias. I looked around for something Australian but still "period" and decided on "trooper". Inspired by Samuel Nelson, the NSW Colonial policeman who was...

Booking direct with Thai you could fly LHR-BKK-SYD 15 December-6 January for Euro 6500, Under 6k if you are prepared to book with online travel agents. That has a 6.5 hour BKK layover outbound, and a full overnight inbound.

Head off to TSV mid August for an Aussie National Championships..then without returning home its BNE-AKL-LAX-AUS for the US National Championships..of the SAME SPORT! On the following weekend! ;) Then CMH-LASand a drive up to Salt Lake City for the Utah State match of a related and very...

After reading this series of posts MY input seems a bit trivial! I had shoulder surgery 6 weeks ago... bicep tendon and some other stuff... I'm surprised that I am still getting fairly significant pain at times... but apparently thats not unusual. Much greater range of movement than 2 weeks...

It seems to be quite variable. I have only used Booking.com for hotels (and never had a problem..luck..or??) I recently booked a multi airline J trip on Aunt Betty via Skyscanner ..and had both airlines PNRs within a very short time. Itinerary shows on both Airline web sites exactly as booked...

And apparently travelling on an ESTA. Why not a Spousal visa? Regardless of relationship status she couldn't legally stay on that document... yet surely the risk of her doing so (with her internet husband) must be seen as unacceptably high? We don't see it I suppose but my understanding is...

Hmmm... I visited Oman..in late 1990.... but arrived by sea and don't recall actually showing a passport to anyone... (RAN ship) I suspect i'll get away with saying No to the question of previous visits!

France for me. Received the paperwork at my home address here...so the Rental company must have passed on my details..but they did NOT pay the fine, nor did they charge any admin fee. The fine was quite low by Aussie standards.... lol... and I was still eligible for the "Discounted early...

Have booked my last flights with them for now. Travel in august. (Bookings before May 28 get 2 free bags regardless of when you fly) Be interesting to see if the change sticks.

If I book a flight and seats that I can pay for are available I would expect that if I paid for one then I would retain the seat. (Subject to truly operational considerations ) I realise where you are coming from but how would YOU feel if moved from a carefully chosen seat to some random...

Alamo simply requires a license that is "valid, unexpired and contains a photograph" They do specify that Learner permits are not acceptable. It really does look like a Provisional license would be OK (Which was a surprise to me... but then I'm old..lol)
