Wholeheartedly agree. I was lucky very early on in my travelling life that I ran into a substantial delay which could've caused chaos to the start of my trip. Was due to fly to Rome, with 3 stopovers and 3 different airlines (Christmas time on super cheap airfare) going BNE-BKK with EK...

Depending on how much expensive jewellery you have, you can always take out individual insurance on that piece? I use Q Report which has worldwide cover. Gives you handy piece of mind.

Been a few months since I last flew with VA. Got targeted with the Double SC's. Have activated all the same and will see over the next few weeks whether I'll use it

Thanks for that! Will touch base with him. We're staying at the Summerville Bungalow. Not that it looks like there is a "bad" place to stay, but have you stayed there?

Thanks so much for going to all the effort of re-posting the photos. It looks amazing! We're also staying at the Tea Trails, so your review on that has definitely made me extra excited! Were you happy with your driver? Would you recommend? If so, can you PM me the details as we are looking to...

Very keen to read this TR, however unfortunately all photos are unable to be seen?

I'm actually going to Oman in just shy of 3 months and all these pics have made me so excited! We'll actually be staying at The Chedi, and have heard good things about The Beach restaurant so I'm glad you can concur! Quick question, if you had to choose between going to only one of Wadi Shab...

I'm a fairly regular BNE-TSV flyer with QF and strangely never have an issue with PB when QF1788 departs from Gate 25, but, if you're up on one of the "finger" gates (16-21) PB is complete nonsense. I don't know whether this is due to layout or what, but without fail it's 2 very different...

Thanks for all your advice!

Hi All, I'm flying Thai Airways later this week, and I'm hoping to just do carry-on. I'm currently sitting at around 7.6kgs + ipad/GoPro. I understand that the official stance is 7kgs for carry-on + 1.5kgs for handbag/computer bag. My questions are for those that have flown with TG before...

At the time it was trip specific. Since then I've taken out Annual and *touch wood* haven't needed to use it

I'm hoping someone can help with information/advice about the lounge access/bag drop times at Muscat International Airport. My wife and I are flying F on EK out of Muscat next year, on a 4.55am flight. Being the silly time in the morning that it is, we're wondering whether we get a hotel room...

My wife had a nasty fall on some ice in Hakuba a few years back and we thought for a while she may have broken her wrist. It was late at night and local doctors/medical centre was closed and the only option was to get a cab to and from Nagano of around $200 each way from memory + hospital...

Very interested to hear your experience moving into the platinum world. I'm QF Gold and VA Bronze (due to move to silver in the next week). Like you I'll only ever hit Gold with Qantas with my flights (70 last FY), and have often wondered whether a complete swap over to VA for Platinum is...

We had a cheeky look at that as well to see whether we could sneak another trip in next year. But like you found, no go for weekends. Really only a Mon-Thurs offer unfortunately. I'd still try and do it if you can!

100% do it! You won't regret it! Congrats on the impending 40th anniversary as well!

Depends on which rates you're looking at ;) I think the current Luxury Escapes deal is about $4k but that is for the entire 3 night stay. Still well worth it in my opinion!

I was really impressed. Food was fantastic. The menu is limited so I feel that if you stayed here a week the lack of variety might be annoying, but for the 2 nights that we were there it was very easy to find something we liked. The basic wines which were included in the package weren't...

I picked the car up from North Shore BMW, which was slightly inconvenient, but still worthwhile. I believe had I have booked it further in advance, I could've picked up a car from Sydney BMW which is much more convenient to the Airport.

Yes... definitely not a regular occurrence. Well not for me anyways! But, I truly believe I got my money's worth and it was worth every cent. Yes, Emirates do own it. I believe they managed it up until a few years ago, before they engaged One&Only as the managing/operating agents, yet retained...
