    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    This is exactly why I go for the HNML tends to be tastier than the one size fits all bland/seafood free/ovo-lacot/low carb/etc special meal. And it has Paratha, sometime Pappadums and yoghurt to go with it all. But you can also take your chances with the regular meal, unlike in J, say, the...

    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    In any event it's not an issue in economy, easily manageable by pre-ordering a special meal. Why? There's no real disadvantage to option for special meals as there is no BTC or inflight menu pre-order to choose for your main. You can opt for "non-seafood" (NSFML) option or the "hindu non...

    Card payment sucharges banned in Australia from 2026

    I'm in and out of Australia all the time, every time I come back I notice that one type of surcharging has become even more common than the past. That is .... no display of the % and no display that there is even a surcharge. It's sort of like now if you're in hospitality the default is...

    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    Have flown ANA several times without issue, but I know where you're coming from! But the thing is .... I have been to a couple of Omakase's and for generally a non seafood eater I was surprised to enjoy it. I guess the flavours and quantities are so delicate and it is very fresh. On the...

    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    The Master SQ Guide (Krisflyer, Waitlists & Waitlists Clearing)

    Why would it need to be HLO? Need to collect luggage at BNE anyway. Also SQ wouldn’t care, they didn’t issue the ticket. Really the question is about VFF skiplagging not SQ skip lagging. Generally wouldn’t expect it to be an issue transferring from international to domestic, especially...

    Jetstar Delays/Cancellations

    Today’s (Mon 5 Jan) JQ7 from SIN-MEL has been rescheduled to 15;00 some 110mins late. With a two day run of on time arrivals, this was inevitable as a hattrick is rare on this flight.

    What cheeses me off

    Like almost any subscription service these days, they all autorenew. Autorenewal is very convenient for most, but there probably should be an option when signing up to opt-out of autorenewal, so that you have to click something to authorise renewal.

    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    Firstly, Happy Birthday, a fine age. We just celebrated my mothers a few months ago and my partner has secured an F award for his mother from SYD-SIN the day after her birthday. We visited the new F lounge in T2 a couple of times since opening, and it was much busier during the day time than...

    Pickpocketed in Bangkok: by Qantas

    There are exceptions (considerably longer) where the fulfilment date is much later than the transaction date and is well beyond the regular time limits (for example an airfare booked 11 months in advance).

    Feet on walls / bulkhead

    What's worse ? Touching the bulkhead with shoes on or barefeet or with socks? It's not uncommon to see and TBH far from the worst behaviour one is likely to witness on an aircraft. or in an airport.

    The Flightradar24 appreciation thread

    My 6 year old nephew certainly appreciates FR24 at Christmas time. Eagerly follows the progress of SANTA1 across the screen from the North Pole down to NZ and then when its time for bed, he's heading to Australia.
