I always scoop it up with a couple of the skewers. It works. And it would feel sort of wrong eating it from a metal spoon.

When it works it works, when it doesn't it doesn't. Not one for the faint hearted, and not advisable to have non-cancellable accommodation on night 1 in SIN. I'm OK with MEL-SIN it as long as I don't need to be back in SG at a specific time. But I have the luxury of not needing to deal...

TBH it varies from time to time which city pairs and which origin ports. But from memory origins like Jakarta, KL etc sometimes have good deals into Europe and perhaps even US (such as New York). It’s a matter of playing around with your preferred flight search engine (eg Google flights...

With the points and co-pay required IMHO if EK F is on your bucket list it can be had for similar return cost (valuing QFF at 1c per point) using cash out of some Asian ports without the availability lottery.

Yeh but they're barely what I'd call "main" choices, they're more hot snacks. Scoot has additional similar hot snacks as well (although not pie/sausage roll, it does have toasted foccacia and even an all day breakfast ex-SIN). Simply has more variety than Jetstar what ever way you look at it.

I don't fly Jetstar much domestically, but occasionally experiment with JQ's 787 service to Singapore. I therefore would mainly compare them to Scoot, which comes with its own sets of pro's and con's, and maybe the comparison is for another thread as they both have their strengths and...

Don’t know what the problem is with SQ J seats. They’re great. Oh wait, maybe that’s because as I have Solitaire PPS privileges I almost always manage to get a bulkhead row. Makes a huge difference. But oddly on the flight I had to LHR last week I was the only person occupying one of...

This one always puzzled me, for packaged processed food like chocolate bars, chips and the like, how would they know it came from the plane and not from the point of origin (and why would it matter )? I get these rules are written with the semi-fresh/ frozen and reheated food served up...

Think of WSI vs SYD the same as ADL vs MEL. No one is moving their entire operations there as it is serving a different market.

In Singapore they have tablets available in the arrivals hall, with staff on hand to assist. (the data synching only takes a couple of minutes, so this seems to work well).

Note that even with separate ticket SQ can throighcheck luggage and issue the BP for the LH sector. Obviously you don’t have protection for the itinerary though.

Yes there are 5 flights from JFK to LHR and 1 from BOS to LHR. Basically an 8am-10am departure arrives at 8pm-10pm., so 12 hrs on the clock face (of course less actual time). Similar to (at least during DST) HKG/CAN/SGN/KUL-SYD/MEL, HND-SYD which are all around that 12 hrs and less than BKK...

A little nice thing is that so many of these flights actually exist. Not quite the same (as it's easterly rather than south easterly travel, and 12 hrs clock face time rather than 9-12 hrs), but there are from what I can tell only 6 daytime flights from US to Europe (5 NYC to LHR and 1 BOS...

Haven't been through Indian departure process for about 2-3 years. But is struck me as relatively easy and straightforward*. * compared to what it was 10 years earlier. OMG that was something else, IIRC you had to show your boarding pass to about half a dozen people between check in and...

The arrival card is simple and there’s usually plenty of time on the inbound flight to fill it out. But on the flip side it would improve the experience for some: - frequent travellers who could save their profile, so don’t have to fill out same info every time , and - those who don’t speak...

I think you'd get good timing in one direction and bad in the other. A schedule at this time of year of SIN-MEL 13:30/23:55 -> MEL-SIN 0130/0610 might work OK.

Lot of government agencies or councils actually encourage clearing of vegetation hanging over or close to structures to mitigate bushfire risk. Depending on where you are located.

The other thing, how does an outsider distinguish #1 for #10? I have never had anything to do with aviation safety, but at one point had a role that covered 8 manufacturing sites and another dozen research sites across Asia Pacific. We did audits, measured all sorts of things, knew the...

Must be doing something right then. Exactly what Channel 7 and 9 do. Josh Cahill is the “Married at First Sight” of airline reviewers. Not for me. But I’m in the minority many people loves this sort of stuff . I can’t stand manufactured/ orchestrated drama posing as reality, although it...

Arrangements can be confusing!
