Simpler Solution, Buy a bag with the heaviest gauge YKK zipper on it. I've got a rolling duffel, the back plate and wheels are destroyed but the zipper holds strong. Totally agree with not dropping $800 on a bag, especially a Rimowa or heavier hard case. You can basically pay for the bag in...

I work FIFO, travel to vendors in Europe and Asia for Audits, and in my free time do rebreather and cave diving. The only bags that ever work for me are 100L duffel bags from The North Face or similar. I've got some heavier black diamond duffels, but I opt for newer lighter Northface one...

4:2 at the moment. Things change constantly however.

Thanks for the advice everyone, I emailed them yesterday about adding my FF number to their database. Still waiting on a response.

My partner works a flexible job, We usually try and line up time off every swing, we decide on something to do, then spend the month talking about it. For communications, I'm using whatsapp and skype as the call rate over here is a killer, data is expensive to at around 50 Kina ($25AUD) for...

My very last flight over I was able to get them to put the code share and my FF number on the boarding pass, the flights from POM-BNE I'm not able to, Air Niuguni staff were not helpful at all, I will continue to try every flight.

G'day all, I hail from BNE, travel in and out of POM and SE Asia frequently for work, hoping to maximise my points and status earning using this site. Excellent trove of info so far, immediately signed up for Gold membership. Thanks for all the info.

Travel adapter, pocket wifi router, passport billfold that holds a few sim cards, two different currencies, all your cards and a few sets of clothes, add a laptop and toiletries, some condoms and panadol, you're set. I can relate to the tools and parts statement, I get hounded at POM...

My biggest mistake, not finding this forum before booking my next two months of travel :(

I own both a North Face and Tatonka PVC duffel bag, the expedition types with massive zips on them. Have a few black diamond expedition duffels as well. some have backpack straps, others don't, but for carrying tools, ice-axes, metal parts, etc they are all top of class.

Thanks for the info guys
