Maybe a polite note in the letterbox or attached to their windscreen advising of a request not to park on your verge in future, and also advising of your intent to rope off the area in the hope of regenerating the lawn damaged by their vehicle once they have kindly moved it. Also you could...

Glad it worked for you. We arrived yesterday on UA842, submitted once the plane landed and got connection error, same when we resubmitted in the terminal. But didn’t matter, we arrived just prior to 6am when they let us off the plane and were 3rd in line in the non USA queue so processed within...

This photo posted early last year of the MPC entry at LAX is very helpful. Does anyone know if this lane setup is still available for MPC if they have been through in the past couple of months? We are travelling through in a couple of weeks and United have managed to bring our connecting flight...

It was a spectacle to see, very impressive and not super noisy

I saw the dozen or so helicopters (I know laymen’s terms) fly over my apartment in formation. Followed shortly after by the four jets in formation who did a circuit. Nothing like a royal visit to initiate some aircraft pageantry. Well I found it quite uplifting to see this reported first up on...

Well we just returned from an outing to Sculptures by the Sea via ferry from Circular Quay and couldn't work out why there were thousands of people lined up from the Opera house and snaking around the harbour/quay area for well over a km at 3pm. A quick google informed us they were waiting...

The whole scenario seems like an outrageous overreaction by the authorities to a MVA situation which must happen surely very frequently. I am glad you have come through relatively OK @drron, are you hopeful of getting any of your costs re-imbursed from your travel insurance?

Yes at Perisher warm temperatures for the last two nights and a small amount of rain has affected the snow making for very soft snow and negatively impacting the cover. Another warm period in the next 24 hours won’t help but maybe some snow falling at 1700m as part of the forecast precipitation...

I think I have finally trained myself when using booking.com to select 15:00 instead of 3:00 to tell the accommodation provider my time of arrival!

Just got a call from a lovely heavily accented lady from Telstra: "Madam how is your internet working at the moment?" "Wonderful" I reply, "I couldn't be happier with the service 😊". She then says "well the thing is madam the service technicians are getting lots of error messages and problems...

I think we drove around nearly 6 times, trouble was it was just the one visit and in friday peak hour traffic, trying to work out our exit, if only I had known the french words for "tunnel underpass".....

Is it possible one of the nearby passengers had put in a complaint/made comment to the said flight attendant about your son's behaviour? I will put my hand up and say I would be getting annoyed if I had paid to be in business class and a small child nearby was a) making yelling noises and...

Well to my simple brain it seems like introducing an element of risk but I am sure it is being well managed. I mean, I was fazed when landing in DEN or LA (can't recall which) recently where they had the cross run way in operation with planes happily crossing over the main operational runways...

Yes apologies, I was getting my L and Rs mixed up! Thankyou for the response @AviatorInsight. I did note that there were multiple take offs and landings on both runways. There seemed to be quite a few international departures at the time and they possibly requested 34L for takeoff.

I had convinced myself from the daily observations of plane movements from my Sydney inner west apartment balcony that planes only took off and departed from the same directions on the parallel runways, so it was a revelation to learn that this is not the case! Family member was flying out on...

Many years ago we pre organised a pick up from Rome airport to a b&b we had booked in central Rome (our first visit to this wonderful city). The driver was duly waiting for us at the airport and we piled into his car with our luggage and proceeded towards Rome. As we were supposedly approaching...

Yes I had a Telstra sales rep. call a while back (it was a legitimate call) and he started mentioning something about a new plan offer which sparked some mild interest in me to hear what he had to say but then he said to continue the call he needed to confirm some of my personal details (he...

Yes similar experience for us J on Qf11 three weeks ago. Not helped by it being way past the scheduled boarding time (so frustrating to see the Delta, UA, AA flights all showing boarding or in final stages of boarding). Apart from roving attendants calling the First passengers through we...

Thanks for this detail, I was perplexed when I stayed at US accommodation as to why many of them had no ceiling lights, it often leaves the room dark and dingy, especially annoying if it is a one bedroom suite with an inner kitchenette/lounge area

OK I admit this post is a little frivolous but I am sitting in the united lounge in Denver waiting for the Munich flight to board. I find that US hotels in particular love to make extensive use of lamps for room lighting and I have to confess to minor levels of anxiety each time I have to...
