    First flight in a while

    One for anybody who's recently been to SIN, specifically flying QF. I understand masks are no longer needed on flight? Is that correct? The Qantas website isn't all that clear. And I need to update my proof of vaccine... how easy is that to do online? Presuming my 7yo daughter will be spared...

    Intrastate J question

    Hi all. This may be a silly one. I've booked my wife and daughter a J redemption from Perth to Kalgoorlie for later in the week. Heading to a funeral. It's an early morning flight. Does intrastate J still allow lounge access. I know it's not much, but it will at least make their experience more...

    Perth's Swan Valley and Rottnest Island

    As previously mentioned in the Chat thread, we had a couple of mini-getaways earlier this month. Firstly MrsGM and I spent a couple nights in the Swan Valley, relaxing with couples' massages, some bubbly, a nice sauna, and just general non-kid life. And then we collected the younguns and...

    Spending as Little as Possible on a Second Car

    Looks like we'll be bucking the COVID trend by spending money.... on a second car. We're both still very lucky to have jobs, which means the kids are still going to school/daycare. Even with MrsGM working from home, and my ability to get a roster change, it's too hard for us to be in so many...

    After midnight arrival in Singapore

    Hi all. We have a short trip to SIN in a couple of weeks, but have run into a slight snafu. Our flight is due to arrive at 0230 on 14/5, with our accommodation booked (through Wotif) from the same date. That means we have nowhere at this stage to sleep on arrival. Am I right in thinking the...

    One night in Dumbleyung - no oysters.

    With apologies to the one Murray Head fan who inhabits every internet forum. We just completed our two week holiday/book sale mission of southern WA. Two nights in Denmark on a farmstay, eight in Esperance, a short layover in Dumbleyung, and finishing with two nights in Balingup to celebrate a...

    Doing my dong on banh mi? Pho sure!

    T-2 days until we head off on our 10 day excursion to the Land of the Blue Dragon. This trip came together in July when MrsGM took it upon herself to book cheap tickets on Scoot to Ho Chi Minh City, and then tell me about it afterwards. I can't really complain though. So here's the breakdown...

    TID policy question

    Less than a week out from our next trip. Just noticed my TID insurance certificate lists myself and the wife as covered travellers which is fine. But instead of my daughter's name as a dependent, it actually has my name again. Now in their paperwork they do say travelling children are covered...

    Vietnam must do thoughts?

    So in 25 days we'll be heading to Vietnam for a 10 day break. Flying into HCMC and then straight on to Hoi An for six nights, before returning to HCMC for another four. The clothing shops in Hoi An will be naturally a big part of things. I plan to get at least one suit made while there. From...

    Where's good in October?

    Taking a week or so off in late October, and want to take the family somewhere for a few days. Perhaps Sydney or Melbourne again, but considering something new. The wife would like somewhere warm, and as any trip will coincide with our wedding anniversary, I wish to indulge her. Budget an...

    United Airlines refuses girl, 10, because of her leggings | Daily Mail Online Not the greatest PR. Although it seems the travelling group may have been part of an FA Pass Travel group, which does come with a few requirements.

    Changing VA redemption on SQ metal.

    Have J flights booked cough-SIN-PER on SQ via a VA points redemption for 3 pax (2 adult & 1 infant) on May 14. Now considering moving them back one day. There's no visible availability through VA website, but I've checked SQ and there seems to be award space on May 15 for the same flight numbers...

    Krisflyer expiry question

    My KF account expires early in January as I haven't found the time to fly SQ in 2015. I have no miles in there worth worrying about, but I do have flights booked for April, which I had intended to credit. Alternatively I can push that to VA. Will it be any issue if I just let this account go...

    Perth to Melbourne - in the name of sport

    A three day trip to watch the Socceroos and try some new eating spots in Melbourne. My aim is get pics of a couple of serious meals. We shall see. Sitting at Gate 48 awaiting my VA flight. Flight looks like it will be fullish. $10 for a muffin and Orange juice. Definitely not pic worthy.
