Anecdote 1. Walking around in Pyjamas I had a private jet departure late evening out of xx_ (A major, tourist busy SE Asian airport, which I won't name to keep the greater details anonymous). Family group who had been VIP holidaying nearby. Guests arrived in vans, but didn't realise there was...

In that case never show my post above and carry on. ;)

No. Passenger manifest to correlate POB to number of found victims (lol this got a bit morbid suddenly) but for reasons of physics seat placement not reliable

You and me both. (Qantas Club and Ansett GW in those days) I was offered GW lifetime from Ansett, first at $1500, then $2000 and just didn't have the cash at each particular time. As it ended up for Golden Wing it wouldn't have meant much after September 2001 so dodged a bullet there (I would...

Golden Wing, correct it was the lounge membership, separate from Ansett frequent flyer. I was a member from around 1991 through to Ansett's demise a decade later. For a while in the mid nineties I was almost part of the furniture in those lounges before I moved to work overseas. From memory...

Serious incident indeed, as per the report title. 200ft AMSL at 2.6Nm out, that was close. What was the reference to PVG about, didn't catch your meaning Interesting report, thanks for sharing.

Thanks for this. Please provide any sources on Kenya Airways as possibly going under? interested to see

@juddles - nicely written, thoughtful post. Looking forward to seeing the discussion as it unfolds. Given I am out of Australia, I don't have the current or recent experiences to contribute, but I still follow the Oz loyalty in's and out's regardless

Yeah add me to the Hutt River Province. I met Sir Leonard (?) as a child when my parents stopped there on the way north one year. Got the HRP passport and stamps lol

Highly unlikely you were going to get thrown off the flight......and exactly what happened that made you say you were "abused by other passengers"? Tricky one. Best to stay calm and polite and explain you wanted to watch the scenery in this situation.

Yup, respect. That bar is awesome. And a totally different experience from the 'dry' domestic Golden lounge. I've been lucky enough that most of my international to domestic transits through that terminal have been around 2 hours + in duration. Have made good use of the regional Golden Lounge in...

Rhodesia Burma Hongkers and Macau

Yes, that was most definitely me. Respect to you Sir, for your Krispy Kreme protection abilities while boarding. K-R-I-S-P-Y K-R-E-M-E MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

In this situation, I usually go to the regional Golden Lounge on the main terminal for a while before I do the immigration clearance. Better meals, showers and full bar. And it's only 2 minutes walk down to transit immigration, which itself is then right next to the domestic pier.

Yup can second this, if it can't be sorted in KUL at KLIA2. Transfer desk in any SIN terminal will assist, takes only a few minutes while they call down to baggage with the tag numbers and get your luggage intercepted.

All good to take on board in Oz int-domestic transit. Beware of fellow AFF'ers sniffing them out on board. We just got our first Krispy Kreme in Yangon, Myanmar recently. Until then, it was a regular sight to see pax on Bangkok to Yangon flights bringing huge amounts of them hahaha. Whenever...

Yup, agree with @trippin_the_rift Golden Lounge in Satellite terminal is the go. Decent food, good coffee made on request, plenty of seating (if its full in the main area, head forward on the left side, there are other hidden rooms down the back) Keep an eye on departure boards, no boarding...

Okay, so "conversation" as a word might not have been the best use. I still respect Geoff Thomas as an aviation writer. Guessing this is simply a marketing/placement strategy SEO-wise

Can confirm now, Circle Line is out for the time being. I just watched an interesting Trip Report video in Youtube posted by a Canadian chap, well worth a look I will update on the Circle Line, most likely in a new thread - when I have more info

Some good advice above... Enjoyed reading RooFlyer's and DrRon's TR's, hadn't come across them before from memory. Long term Myanmar resident here -20 years on and off. 2 weeks in November is a good stretch. A week is too short, a month in one hit is too long. Yangon is the best option to fly...
