So Australia has 4 digit postcodes, does adding a leading 0 work? We had similar issue with entering Singapore postcode for using a SG based CC, the postcodes are 6 digits. We just dropped the leading digit and it goes through with no issues. (i.e for postcode123456 we enter 23456, never had...

For me, who never wears full length PJs even in winter , there are no airline PJs that work. I just take light t shirt and some loose fitness type shorts. Works well. Anything that covers my arms and legs is too much.

Noticed it also includes the Melbourne and Brisbane XPTs. So you could travel between the two cities for free 😱

TG can be so sensitive. We snagged 3 J tickets out of SIN with a pattern of TG->TG->LH We also wanted a fourth ticket. You could get TG->TG (with the first sector SIN-BKK in Y) if you selected Thai Airways specific search. You could the TG->LH connection ex-BKK with smart search or star...

Yes, also could be the structure of their incentives and who their employer is. Some companies do seem to have good Philippine based call centres. I wonder if these are "insourced" to the Philippines rather than completely "outsourced" (i.e employees rather than contractors). In my last...

I think the important points of this thread are : 1) Follow some basic rules if your actions affect others (outside your immediate travelling party). 2) If not, "you do you" . People have different risk tolerancesm different preferences for activities, accom, even luggage, they will have...

Coming up to 13 yrs with current set (Samsonite Duralite). Replace the wheels ourselves but recently had the zipper repaired and handle replaced on the wheelaboard at a luggage repair place for modest cost. The medium sized case is becoming a bit worn (slightly bent frame) and I’d throw out...

Travelling to FRA on SQ recently I requested the Hindu Non Veg (I’m not Hindu) and it was really quite tasty. (I enjoy Indian food so that helps). My partner had the non-seafood which doubles as the bland/gluten free/low carb etc etc. so was a bit disappointing.

I was accruing PPS credits on KrisFlyer and earning miles/status on other partner programs (eg AirNZ) almost 20 years ago now. Nothing new about this. I think linking the partner program through the KrisFlyer account is something relatively recent (perhaps in last 10 years or so).

Agreed. Having said that we’ve booked with various iterations of flight network/gotogate on point to point, no luggage needed LCC flights (Scoot, Jetstar) within a couple of weeks of departure (so no changes needed) and all worked smoothly. Never ever use if need to pay for luggage or if...

WCMO is that I am sick to death of seeing headlines about, pictures of and discussions of one particular person (who is not Australian) in the Australian media. It’s ridiculous every third article seems to be about this particular person. I’m going off mainstream media even more thank I...

Under UK261 I thought the airline has a duty of care to provide meals and accommodation in this instance, as it is a flight departing UK. As the reason is beyond the airline's control, then no monetary compensation for the delay would be due (understandable), but the duty of care obligation...

Sure, the overall potential catchment area could be that big, but in terms of convenience - I was more looking at the population that is closer to AVV than MEL, which isn't that significant. A big chunk of the City of Wyndham is either actually closer to MEL (such as Williams Landing...

Yes it does. But I think the number of people in Melbourne Metropolitan Area that are close to AVV than to MEL, is very small due to the relative location of the two airports (one SW of Melbourne, the other NW). It's only a few suburbs in the City of Wyndham (Werribee, Point Cook, Wyndham...

Another option they could have offered was rerouting you via BKK, QF codeshares with Bangkok Air from HKT to BKK and of course then flies between there and SYD. But hey you only buy a bundle of rights. Not a flight.

Although at certain times of the year (now, around the summer solstice), one would expect a reasonable amount of daylight. Stockholm today, twilight from 2am, sunrise about 3:30am and sunset around 10pm, with twilight to 11:30pm.

Not going to happen! IIRC, there are restrictions on size of aircraft that can use the airport, and the biggest aircraft that flies there is the A319. The SQ group used to fly there (SilkAir) using A319's but when these were phased out, they withdrew the service and only came back once they...

Google Flightaware QF9 or flightradar24 QF9 and you can find the route. Looks like it's going over Medina.

SQ has extended it's DXB cancellation through to Wed now.

No. WSI has a much bigger catchment population than Avalon (based on the number of people that live closer to WSI than SYD vs those that live closer to AVV then MEL). And it will get some flights at times that SYD has a curfew, that dynamic doesn't exist between MEL and AVV.
