    Takkyubin

    You can send to various addresses - so hotels, airbnbs, etc. You can also takkyubin your belongings to airports and pick-up there. I've been using takkyubin for decades and have never had any issues at all. Wouldn't ever anticipate any either.

    Cuba experience

    I was in Cuba a couple of weeks ago. Just a couple of tips off the top of my head: 1. Do try to stay in casas particulares where possible. It’s a great way to talk to locals and see what their houses are like and enjoy living with them. 2. Although there’s a lot of discussion and...

    EK upgrade "Love" on QF / EK coded flights - success rate?

    IME you're much more likely to get upgrade love on a 777 than an A380 because of the higher capacity on the A380.

    Famous people seen (or even met) whilst flying or lounging

    Dami Im was in the QF BNE DOM J lounge on Friday morning, flying down to SYD on her current tour. I asked her how she got off the big box at Eurovision and she was very friendly, telling me at first that it was 'magic' but then explaining how other people helped her down. She and her husband...

    TOILETS Male or Female Simple choice well not anymore

    Why so negative? Shouldn't the bigger question be what can we collectively do differently for the good of everyone? If toilets are a place where rape or assault happen (most rapes and assaults happen in the home anyway, but I digress) then it doesn't matter what gender is raping what gender, but...

    TOILETS Male or Female Simple choice well not anymore

    And most importantly, if Jesus did wear them, would he or she be allowed to wear them in to the QP?

    TOILETS Male or Female Simple choice well not anymore

    I think the insanity lies in why we still need to worry about this. Everyone uses a toilet, so let everyone use a toilet. We have bigger things to worry about in the world (including terrorism, starvation and disease, just like he says) so lets just make all toilets unisex. This is a Frequent...

    EK upgrade "Love" on QF / EK coded flights - success rate?

    IME, it hasn't made much of a difference. Although I generally check-in in person rather early. Although some swear by checking-in as late as possible.

    Famous people seen (or even met) whilst flying or lounging

    Seal was flying J on AA1586 from YYZ to LAX last Friday. He was quite friendly, with a shorter passenger in the row in front of him taking advantage of his height and asking him to stow her luggage for her. He had boarded quite early and it was enjoyable watching everyone else board and stare at...

    SIM Card for Vietnam

    That's counter to the experiences of my family and friends. Facebook is often not available in Vietnam regardless of the service provider used. There are some workarounds if you need them and there are periods of time when there are blocks and periods of time when there aren't any blocks...

    SIM Card for Vietnam

    Viettel reception is arguably the one with the widest reception. I have access to phone and data services whether I'm in the middle of Saigon or at my place in a rural and remote village with minimal public infrastructure. For 3 weeks the 20000d sim should provide enough calls and data.

    Lounge Meets April 2015

    Hmmm I'll definitely go in a check it out. But I just have a soft spot for the CX lounge in BKK. I actually prefer the JL lounge over all the other options but it won't be open while I'm there.

    RSA MEL F Lounge Qantas Official Response (Refused Drinks)

    Absolutely! I'd much prefer that some people are embarrassed by being RSAd than we have to put up with drunken people in lounges and on planes. I've certainly moved seats in lounges before to move away from crowds who've had a few too many (easier to do in the SYD F lounge than the smaller MEL F...

    LHR-SIN-MEL RT with one stopover much more pricey than no stopover

    I'm not sure you've understood. You can book this so that the MEL-xSIN-LHR flight is all on one day, you don't have to make it two stopovers.
