I have fond memories of many red eye flights from PER to SYD where we ended up doing loopies over Sydney while waiting for curfew to lift because we made (too) good time. When I booked the BA flight and saw the arrival time, it raised an eyebrow, but figured there was a reason for it. At any...

Quick Google search indicates there's exemptions :)

That is what I thought too, but how do you explain the 0510 arrival of BA15? Heading to WLG. Need to drop into the city for something, otherwise I'd try for an earlier flight.

Hi all, Hoping for some advice regarding a day room in Sydney. Flight will be arriving from LHR just after 5am, so expecting to clear formalities before 6am. Next flight won't be departing until 6pm that evening. I'm hoping to find a day room for a while to clean up and snooze before heading...

Thanks everyone. It's ticketed now, so all same PNR. I figure if I miss the connection PR will sort it out and I can just jump on the next one. Had a quick look at the arrivals info, and there doesn't seem to be much going on at MNL T2 at 0330'ish, so hopefully will clear formalities pretty...

Hi all, This will be my first time transferring to a domestic flight in MNL directly from an international arrival. I've just put flights for CNS-MNL-CEB with PR on hold, so would be arriving into T2 (at 0320) and also departing from T2 (at 0555). I've been reading about the horrors of...

I've had envelopes passed to me on QF flights before for the Unicef program, but is something similar done by other airlines? Flying next weekend (VA & SQ), and been clearing out my foreign currency stash, and have quite a lot of coinage to offload. I'd prefer to donate it to a worthy cause...

Ah, ok. I thought it would isolate the individual alarm. Learn something new every day :)

So I was in line for international security screening at CNS and the fire alarm went off. Well handled, but it shut the terminal down for a while - no evacuation. There was half a dozen firemen running around in full kit trying to find out where it was coming from. Now maybe it's just me, but I...

I mention that because back in...Late 2003 I think it was, I got off the plane really tired at Heathrow and went to enter the UK on my Australian passport without even thinking. I was told off by immigration for it and that I had to enter on my UK passport since it was current and valid. They...

Thanks. I will try that and see how it goes :) Just unfortunate timing. No passport just when you unexpectedly need to travel. At least I still have my Aus one, otherwise this situation would be a nightmare.

No. But what I was told is that as a British citizen, I was required to enter the UK on a UK passport. Much like Australia makes me enter Australia on my Australian passport. The visa isn't the issue. If this information is incorrect, then I'm happy for someone to correct me on it. It may have...

I sent my paperwork off to renew my UK passport a week or so ago, as it had less than 6 months validity left on it. It's currently in HM Passport Office in Liverpool being processed. However I now urgently need to travel to the UK for a family matter. However due to the renewal, I don't have a...

Last time I went to Airways during a layover (last year), we got sneered at and copped a lot of bad attitude from the staff when we went to that poolside restaurant because we weren't actual hotel guests. Wasn't impressed. On the other hand, when I've been there as an actual hotel guest, I found...

I realise asking for a guest spot in POM is probably reaching, but never hurts to ask... Monday 7th Username Flight # DEP Airport Lounge Time Guest/s DrA PX98 POM Any International 1300 -1 Tuesday 8th Username Flight # DEP Airport Lounge Time Guest/s DrA QF2301 CNS QP 0500 2

Thanks muchly :)

Hi all, Last time I had to transit in POM (last year), the international terminal was still a giant construction zone and had no shops or anything that were open. I've got a 5 hour transit there in a couple of weeks and am trying to determine whether I should get a day room at the Gateway Hotel...

I actually got this by ground staff in PER more than once when I was lining up for J boarding and getting told that Y boarding was "over there". I just stood my ground, showed them my boarding pass, and kept my mouth shut, lest I say something that would give them an excuse to not let me on the...

This has occurred on more than one occasion... I order a VGML on all my flights due to a food allergy. I know due to many years of flying that special meal requests need to be made in advance, so the requests are always made at the time of booking, rather than at the last minute, and I check...
