For those interested, the Rare Millesime has reappeared in the F lounge at Changi. A welcome return if you enjoy a glass or two before your flight.

Never, ever do these days. Not for many months. They are full enough as it is, and usually the one Australian destination that is always missing from Spontaneous Escapes. Bring on frequency #6

Distance wise remarkably similar to LAX from SYD and MEL. ADD-MEL almost same distance as SYD-LAX and vice versa.

Some how I think the target demographic for these flights is decidedly not the same as the AFF demographic (whether CNS-MEL or PER-East Coast red eyes). When I was in my 20s I would have had no issues with short redeyes. 30 years on, I don't even like long red-eyes.

QR to GRU and then local flight to GIG would be the other option, for the long way around.

Is that Swiss via ZRH or GVA? As Swiss don't fly direct to JFK. In any instance, as long as it is on one ticket you should be protected, noting if they rebook you on UA it won't be to JFK, it would be to EWR, but they might need your OK to do that, and if known to be running late before...

Have to carefully look at T&C around residency though.

Is that BNE, MEL or SYD? I can confidently say that if it is MEL, if they don't give you access to the Qantas Lounge, not a huge loss, although to be fair it is OK at breakfast times. You could use a small portion of your $700 saving to access a paid lounge such as The House, if you really...

The clearing table thing doesn't only happen at breakfasts! I was in Marrakech last month, went to a rooftop cafe, sat down, ordered my drink and some food. After my drink arrived I took a sip, got up and went a whole 3-4 metres to the edge of the rooftop to take some photos of the city...

As there is no outbound passport control and no need for additional security, in theory all it would physically need is some e-gates with boarding pass scanning when moving from airside in other terminals to TBIT (to prevent domestic pax from entering the area), and rules preventing exit from...

MEX-Tokyo (SYD-1000 mi) seems to be OK, but to your point MEX-Shenzhen (SYD+700 mi) has a refuelling stop in Tijuana when returning from MEX. Would be better suited to a funnel via AKL if anything, you then get MEL/SYD/BNE one stop (advantage over LAX- no US entry requirement) and AKL origin...

From what I can tell this isn't old news. It's old, old news. :rolleyes:

So it depends if I'm there for leisure or for work. For work I want quick and convenient, at home it's cereal and toast which is quick, I prefer that when away for work or something equally quick, usually I don't want to overeat at breakfast. For leisure, I'm much more inclined to take my...

When I was about 13 it was Cameron's Corner which was my first, albeit fleeting, visit to Queensland 🤣 At that age it was neat to have part of your body in NSW, part in SA and part in Qld. Staying close to home, going to the top of Kosciouszko and taking a small excursion to the Tropic Of...

I find it reassuring our data is not yet with being fully leveraged. TBH, probably the supermarkets seem to do it the best - with good reason - mostly high frequency purchases with regular repeat purchases. For airlines, most passengers are unlikely to be frequent repeat purchasers of the...

Yet it to me it tasted disgusting, it looked and tasted like a fishier version of tinned tuna! In any event I of course enjoyed the satays, and didn't really need any more food at 11am ... especially after breakfast in the lounge.

All very well unless your tastebuds (or worse your allergies) and seafood are incompatible. Seafood maybe premium, but it is something that you like or hate. (I 'm on the hate side, with some exceptions when complemented by overpowering other flavours, like in a laksa ). So for most SQ...

Always be wary, I gave ChatGPT a task to find something out (getting an email receipt from a rideshare app, which I couldn't see how on the app) and it gave incorrect advice a couple of times.

No definitely only 10%. And it's a different notice to the regular "Notice of Assessment" it is instead a "Notice of Withholding tax" and applies a 10% tax to any interest you declared (where withholding tax not already taken). I think a couple of issues arise, a number of bank accounts...

You can cry or you can just have a laugh… (Particularly from 05:20 mark)
