    No champagne in Perth J Lounge today, Mumm Marlborough Brut Prestige is the only bubbles on offer. Pity as there has been Laurent-Perrier stocked in the past.

    What cheeses me off

    It does, takes a couple of times to get used to but definitely works.

    What cheeses me off

    Agreed. Has been the biggest test of my marriage until we discovered this method.

    Changi Matters

    Good to know. Thanks. This one used to have quite a good selection under the previous brand with the smaller ones understandably being rather limited. That they were often happy to open bottles to try before you buy was also a great benefit.

    Well that sucks, have a long layover on the way back from Europe in a few weeks. i was going to eat up some time browsing whisky. Looks like I will have to take advantage of the Krishop buy 2 get 50% off deal that ends on the 28th and preorder some to my seat instead.

    Australian Cricket Season 2023-2024

    I wouldn't say arrogance. It may have been a mistake in hindsight, but the number of missed chances from Bairstow cost England the game just as much, probably even more. As did relying on a spinner that hasn't played first class cricket for a couple of years. It is part of England's strategy at...

    Australian Cricket Season 2023-2024

    I don't think the pitch produced was entirely planned. It ws unusually hot and dry in the lead up which may have exacerbated what the groundsmen had done. I don't think it helped the English at all in their need take 20 wickets to get a win. Get all the runs you like but if you can't bowl the...

    Australian Cricket Season 2023-2024

    A very rare Australian success chasing in a close match. We seem to win by a mile or not at all in recent memory. Sets up the next test at Lord's nicely. I wouldn't expect there is much chance of the curators producing such a dead pitch there.

    Flights from Singapore to Europe 2023 Business class

    I think PER-SIN is part of the issue, the other is you are too late. We were only able to get the red eye flights in both directions when we booked last September for travel at the end of this month. Everything else has been waitlised and none has cleared. I have been watching around our dates...

    Australian Cricket Season 2023-2024

    WTC final start tonight. With Hazlewood not fit, I am very keen to see how Boland performs in English conditions. I suspect our batting will still be the potential weak spot. Especially if Warner doesn't have a miracuous return to form.

    Australian Cricket Season 2023-2024

    Looks like the old tread was from a couple of years ago. With the World Test Championship Final starting next week followed quickly by the Ashes I thought a new thread. Is anyone travelling over? We will be at Days 1-4 of the 2nd test at Lord's and day 1 and 2 of the 3rd Test at Headingly. I...

    Has anyone had recent experiences of adding waitlists to an existing booking? I have some undesirable overnight flights for the PER-SIN sectors on trips to and from Europe in June/July. Unfortunately the more civilised SQ214 and SQ215 were not even options for waitlist at time of booking but...

    How do Hilton treat you as an Elite?

    Had my first Diamond paid upgrade offer today. Booked a base room at the Doubltree Northbridge. Pre upgraded in the app to a Deluxe Panoramic King. When using online check-in there were either the offered room or 2 paid rooms for junior suites at $55 per night. Not the worst deal but also...

    The Whisky Club discussion

    I have doubled up this month, mostly because the wife is a Glenfarclas fan and we were married in 2012. So will keep the 2nd bottle stashed away.

    Has dynamic pricing arrived for QFF Awards?

    Is it not because the 83,000 flights are via Melbourne so a longer total distance than the 59,900 flights which are via Brisbane?

    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    Krisshop online (which gets delivered to your seat by the FA on the final leg) was the cheapest for the whisky we wanted when we travelled HKT-SIN-PER 3 weeks ago. The larger T3 DF store we used to visit in SIN was closd for renovations (and has changed brands) so selection wasn't as wide as we...

    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    Probably because the coughtails at the manned bar were awful (this is based on our 2 ordered), the available mixers for spirits are pretty uninspiring and Tiger or Heineken are not great either. That they are not mutually exclusive helps as well. I know 2019 was a long time ago for airlines but...

    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    Two bottles of Piper out today in the SKL SIN, on the far left bar as you walk in. There wasn't anything there last week so may be a time of day thing as I was a morning flight. Nothing on the right bar (only spirits, a white, a red and beer) and manned bar not yet open.
