    Screening at different airports.

    On the screening subject, has something changed with the international liquid carry-on restrictions? Going through CHC security on the way to SYD last Saturday, I never heard peep about liquid restrictions and even saw a lady beside me hold out a nearly-full bottle of water for surrender at...

    Big development! Qantas seat selection!

    Agreed x 2, the allocation of 'premium seats' should be left out of seat selection for Silver & below (Even though it looks like Im to be stuck with Silver this year). Ordinary seats fine but Qantas dont de-value the status system any further ....

    $260 to removed a flight from my AA itiniery

    I once got out of a *A RTW leg I didnt want to do for free by getting a ticketing office to issue a paper ticket (and then threw it in the bin) for that segment a couple of weeks before the flight. The remaining flights stayed valid and I went on my merry way. That was with Lufthansa, dunno...

    Luggage weight limits - how do you manage?

    X2 The warmer the country the less to pack. :) My last visit to Malaysia was a month long hiking trip with 6 kg carry-on. Saved paying up for checked luggage on AirAsia internal flights. Back on subject; wheeled, paticularly 4-wheeled suitcases make the heavy bags a lot more manageable. Do...

    NZ North of AKL

    I did a quick(2-day) drive of Northland last month. Felt and looked different to the rest of the North Island, good tho. 2 days was enough to do a flying tour of the east coast, go right up to Cape Reinga(top of NZ) and back down to AKL. 3-4 days would have been better. If you're into driving...
