Just an update on lounges at LIM. New LATAM/OW lounge called Sumaq. It is third party operated, but LATAM have access. Very large, adequate food, even at almost midnight when we visited. The previous Sumaq lounge is right next door. Overall it's ok. lots of charging points, TV's, business...

I was wondering why? I have been very much absent in the last few months. (health reasons, all okay now in case you ask) Come back to see the notifications. Surprised by a quote. 2 years! Thanks @Melburnian1 i will certainly look out for it

@Pliny @Quickstatus Quickstatus is corrrect, flight was carrying Saudi Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Adel Al-Jubeir. He attended the memorial service in Christchurch. Also believe the return flight was carrying the body of a Saudi national killed in the attack. Flew RUH-PER-CHC-PER-RUH

Is Jimmy your cousin? Am I missing something here? And you have at least 2 AMEX cards..... not much info there, but I'd still edit those screen shots @Cruiser Elite

From my experience @juddles it's worth it to ask. But be very careful. Chile, might be ok, but in Peru I had the extraordinary experience of one very high end hotel in Urubamba asking I pay for the room in $USD and the extras in $PEN. When I questioned why I can't have the account in one of...

oh! that's much better timing for the LA804, gives plenty of options for me on to LIM. Get into LIM early evening instead of the middle of the night. Thanks @Mattg

Well, one more trip to go (hopefully). Need to get home for Christmas. Waiting doctors orders on Monday, all going well, fly home Friday LIM-SCL-SYD-MEL. -Currently sitting at 134,356 kms , 34 sectors (22 J, 2 Y+, 10 Y) -Only 1 new Airport - PVR and one new Airline , Y4 , Volaris -No new...

I'll be in that @juddles :) And in a final response to "sick of flying" , after just coming off 26 hours, yes you read it right, 26 hours on a freakin' bus!!! To get from Tarapoto to Lima , omg!!!:mad: I'm going back to flying. Darn DVT! But I made it to my meetings, with a couple of hours to...

I can confirm , my nephew who was a very good U-18 100m/200m sprinter was advised by the State Athletics Association (VIC in this case) if travelling with spikes in hand luggage, remove the spikes. If you have fixed spikes, place in checked. Was for a nationals championship, travelling from MEL...

Yes @drron ... but in my humble opinion. The one thing Peru has gotten right, is long distance buses! They are equivalent to a Y+ for total service, but seating can be close to J. But still, this will take 2 trips, one of 6 hours, a 3 hour break, then one of 9 hours...(help me:()

Thanks to all for the mention:) Took a while for the first thousand, with some lay time next few months, the 2nd thousand might be quicker!! ;)

I feel your pain @juddles , as a regular flyer of the same route, it's not fun after a time. Although circumstances have curtailed my flying for the next few months. Currently sitting here in downtown TPP after a minor car accident resulted in a broken ankle...:mad: , tests results last week...

Yep, buy your $AUD now. US fed will probably go another rate rise first week of December. Aussie Reserve Bank will do the usual hold until early next year. When it could go down? But right now, next 2 to 3 weeks, it's about as high as it will be for a while. Anything above 72 is good , 72.5+ is...

Oh geez!! Can your boy hide his guns just once! :rolleyes:;) But seriously, can't blame you for letting him pay. Eventually the kids will pay.....eventually!:D

Be thankful you don't have parallel lines! No matter how hard I try, I can't seem to get them to meet in the middle? :mad: (I'm going now, you'll be pleased to hear) :p

I do hope that's an after shot of the Mixed Grill or else you got seriously shafted on the quarter chicken? :rolleyes:

Great TR @Jacques Vert :) But, ahem! you should not wear your shoes in "the pool in the middle of the room" :rolleyes:

Great post @ozguytim . Museo Larco and Museo MATE, I would second both those. The Testino exhibit which is semi-permanent, is fantastic at MATE. Highly recommend also.. For art lovers MALI, (Museum of Art Lima) MALI - Museo de Arte de Lima Has some brilliant exhibits, ever changing. As a plus...

The short answer, is pretty much that it doesn't exist anymore. For a multitude of reasons. One of the most prominent being the high number of "elite" frequent flyers, I feel. But of course the business case model of most airlines, as alluded to by the check in agent, is probably the highest...

Great TR Sludge, at times I've almost forgotten to check in, but some remarkable places :) Oh! and the picking up the wrong bag thing....I've done it, so you're not alone. But, I only got to the car park, not half way home... In fairness, I've never seen that bag before or since...Anywhere...
