Have cast my votes - but I am still coming to terms with OP's reference to 'kettle class' in the opening post 😁

I've never done a route launch/inaugural destination flight before. This popped up the other day, Yangon to Da Nang - its a late afternoon flight, so I can leave work a bit early. I also need to be at work the next day. Never been to Vietnam, even after many years in SE Asia as an expat...

I travel very frequently on local ATR72 aircraft (I'm not in Oz) for domestic routes. As its a rear only door, I always book the back row for the usual reasons of first on first off. Oddly enough, if you want to pre-book seats on these flights, they still charge more for the front rows...

Previous experience with an SQ flight from SIN to PER (although not recently) Fully boarded, NEARLY fully boarded, and on time - but delayed due to no-show pax. Flight crew announced offloading of baggage, we could see the equipment and crew rock up outside. Cue sounds of cargo doors clunking...

Australian Expat living in Myanmar, here. Have seen a few mentions of Myanmar/Burma. - Is Myanmar a country currently experiencing armed conflict every day? Yes. - Is Myanmar a country you can actually visit as a tourist even now? Yes. - If you visit as a foreign national tourist, will you be...

Putting Flight Formula in to the mix as one of the youtubers I quite enjoy watching, since the alogorithms had him on the list some months back. Homegrown Aussie, very down to earth, does some great research too on airline and aviation history - very informative. There's some gif/memes that pop...

I'd say there's a slight difference between ETIHAD PLANE IN TROUBLE and 'there seems to be an issue.. it's circling over the bay and dumping fuel'

Which airlines for each of those separate tickets? Transit time? Some additional needed here before anyone can offer advice. (and welcome to AFF)

Nice running update there from some of the pax onboard!

Being held on the ground, ABC news shows it at a holding area. Very little other info

Just spotted your post count while reading this thread, and wondered if your 10,001st post was now the same as your 10,000th post 😁 (congrats by the way)

and here's your picture from the other angle ;) Right let's get back on topic

True, but if you have time to kill airside, take the bus from T4 to T3 and then make the trip through Jewel on the airside Skytrain Saves having to clear immigration Just giving a time killing option for others - which unfortunately you didn't have on your transit :(

Thanks - couldn't remember the actual year of T4 ops - hence the (??)

CX moved operations back to T4 in September 2022, after the temporary move to T1 in April 2020 during the first Covid wave of flight reductions. (Cathay had been operating out of T4 since 2014(?)) Good to see they did re-open their T4 lounge though last Feb (2023)

well noted - I meant that the transfer time between T4 and everywhere else has always been long - hence the reminder to check every time for a Changi transit - given there are changes to which terminals airlines use (ie JQ/3K) Grateful I haven't had to do one of these - but I am in the same...

A good lesson to always check which terminal(s) your transits use at Changi. T4 is clearly separated by the T1-2-3 behemoth - and that means more time if you need to move to or from T4. This has always been the case.

Yes, same for me - unless the hotel is fully booked for arrivals on the day of checkout, in which case they may not be able to guarantee - THEN they may say to check again on the day of departure.

When this popped up in my notifications, I first thought it was going to be about work trips where members were venting about being swindled out of Frequent Flyer points 😂 On the actual pointless meaning for the topic.. have in past years woken up far too early for a 6am domestic departure in...

Mid-90s got me started - initially with a Qantas return trip from Perth to Harare and back in early '95, but then I took a lot of regional flights with Ansett (and Skywest in WA), so primarily racked up AFF points from there. Took out a Golden Wing membership the same year and kept it going...
