    QR/AY J Australia to Helsinki for $5-6k return

    Been playing around on google flights and findings flights good for my dates around 5.3k but there's a gotcha - a lot of them have the first leg to Asia in Y! Heck no. So buyer beware there - not seen that before.

    Good News! Pyjamas on (almost) all Qantas international flights in J!

    Arctic cruise research

    Yes I think it must be recently changed; we had some paperwork that said you needed an ECG before being allowed to do the polar plunge. I asked the travel agent to clarify that, and they said no longer required. Not that we got to do it - never had a weather window. So have to go back...
