    Sundowners Tours denying refund without large fee

    Our Sundowners tour late August departure was cancelled, with the company invoking force majeure. That was to be expected. We had paid deposit of about $4400. They proposed to offer a travel credit with a 10% bonus, usable by mid 2022. That didn't suit us so we asked for a refund as per the...

    2 wheel cabin bag - so hard to find

    This might start the 2 v 4 wheel arguments, but I want / need a new "international" sized cabin bag and I would like a 2 wheeler, under 2kg and robust enough to be occasionally checked. Looking around the luggage stores and even online it is all 4 wheels. Any suggestions ?

    Qatar - Doha "First Class" lounge

    In economy on Qatar with a 6 hour connection at Doha, and was offered paid access to "First Class Lounge" @ around $120 pp when I made the booking.
