    Check bag SQ to SQ with 12 hours in transit

    Yes, they will do it. My transit was 23h 30m and they could do it. What I did not realise was that you cannot check in 2 bags to 2 different destinations - i.e. 1 bag to SIN and another to your final destination. All bags need to go together.

    What's a forgotten item a security has found in your bag?

    A small kid's scissors - it was in a pencil box in the hand carry. First airport did not pick it up, but second one did. They rummaged through the bag, took the scissors out and looked at us. We were more than prepared to let it go but they measured it and said it's under a certain length, so...

    A320 Hellship, Adel-Perth

    Oh no, I've booked HBA-PER on a VA 320 - must be the same plane. QF charges almost double via MEL. I'm assuming no IFE or Wifi? Also booked PER-LST on a VA 737-700. Same deal as the 320?

    Aviation museums

    There is an Aviation Heritage museum about 15 mins from Perth WA - it's the Aviation Heritage museum in Bull Creek. Key highlights include a Dakota C-47, Lancaster Bomber, Tornado GR4, FA-18 Hornet, Tiger moth and more. It's not huge but very convenient to get to.

    Ask The Pilot

    I was just looking at FR24 on SYD departures today. Almost every flight was using the cross runway (07/25?), however MAS122 used 34L. Question is does the airport authority suggest, but the pilot decides? Therefore the MH pilot was the only one who doesn't mind the high winds? Or possibly...

    Why do people still avoid Malaysia Airlines?

    Many still relate MH to the crashes or just bad luck. As for me - I've just booked an MH ticket flying in October. I still think they are safer than Batik and Lion Air.

    What's the truth about Bali?

    I have a theory: Airlines are not as well organised as you may expect them to be. The left hand does not talk to the right hand, or the sales team does not talk to the ops team, and they all make their own assumptions. I also read recently that some airlines have trouble contacting their...

    Fuel shortage at AKL

    Something I don't understand - why do some flights need to make a stop and some don't? SQ286 (B77W) went direct AKL-SIN. MH130 (A333) transitted via MEL NZ282 (B789) went direct AKL-SIN EK449 (A388) transitted via CHC/MEL QR921 (B77L) went direct AKL-DOH. Did SQ/NZ/QR pay more so they had the...

    Using Krisflyer miles for PER-KUL on MH or Tigerair codeshare

    Hi all, I have some Krisflyer miles and want to travel from PER to KUL. I would prefer to take SQ226 departing PER at 2.05pm arriving SIN at 7.35pm, and connect to KUL that night, but online I can only fly SIN-KUL using Silkair or SQ, none of which have flights after 7.35pm. Is it possible to...

    Best Debit and Credit Cards - Exchange Rates

    I was there in HK earlier this year, and the Citibank ATMs there seemed to reject my card, but all other major banks' ATM worked without any issues. After querying, I was told that there is a problem with HK Citibank ATMs accepting Australian Citibank cards, and was told to use any other bank...
