    Sir Tim Clark apology

    I think empty words for the many passengers (incl my friends) who were stuck in Dubai airport when their connecting flight was cancelled....my friends were stuck for over 30 hours at the airport, "slept" in a chair as there were no available hotel rooms, endured hours of Qs to rebook flights etc...

    Do the contents of the Business class Toiletry bags need to be in transparent bags for security?

    I must say I have never even thought about the (possible) liquids in the amenity kit and have never opened it to put the liquids in the plastic bag!

    Cash or Card? Countries where you still need cash.

    From googling and reading other online forums, it seems all ATMs in Sth Africa charge between 50-75 Rand per withdrawal and the maximum varies from 3000- 5000 Rand with the former more likely. Happy for this to be confirmed either way. I know card is widely used now in SA but my tour company...

    What's the situation in South Africa? I assume, without knowing, that cash is still needed. Do all the ATMs in partic the ones at Jnb airport, charge a fee? And how much is the fee and what is the maximum cash withdrawal? Thanks

    Ola closing down in Australia

    Deleted my payment options and uninstalled the app. Shame as Ola kept Uber in check...often cheaper than Uber. Now mainly uses Didi as they keep offering me big discounts...eg fare to Syd International airport from my home can be less than $40...taxi would be >$80!
