    Ridiculous carry on baggage

    At first look I thought that was Orlando Bloom!

    Intl Duty Free Prices

    I don't think I've ever bought wine in SIN. Even with the 10% GST and the overall higher AUD/SIN exchange rate, I find that I still get better value for money and range at my local DM. Same thing with Grey Goose and Dom, used to be cheaper at DFS but not so much these days.

    AA book baggage through SYD/LAX/NY

    Thanks for the clarification Quickstatus. Sorry to go OT, is there anyway to save your post so I can look at it again closer to my own travel dates?

    AA book baggage through SYD/LAX/NY

    I've asked the same question and was told that she will need to clear customs in LAX which means bags must be picked up and rechecked in.

    VA vs ANZ to the US (SYD-SFO) - who has the better hard/soft product?

    Most of the feedback I've gotten from this forum has been that UA/AA don't provide the best hard/soft product compared to what we get here. Did a quick google search and read one review of the 787-9 and I'm not crazy about the 2-2-2 configuration.

    Seat Allocation Etiquette

    For most of my friends (and I suspect the average Joe), a plane ride is merely a means to get you from point A to B so they don't care where they sit. For me personally, I spend a lot of time researching for the best available seat so yes it is a big deal. And if pax continues whinging well...

    Who's your TA?

    Been getting radio silence from TA, no response to email/phone message. Will wait till COB tomorrow and if I don't hear back, I guess I'll be making my own booking.

    Fly365.com : Has anyone booked business class airfares with them?

    So the total price that FC quotes you = the total price from QF? Why not just book direct with QF then?

    Fly365.com : Has anyone booked business class airfares with them?

    That's what the FC TA I'm chatting with atm said as well. FF points are awarded by the airline and they decide which class is eligible and which class is not. The way I interpreted that sentence is if you do book with FC and not get any points with your airline of choice, then it's not their...

    Air NZ 787-9 Business Premier and new AKL International Lounge - NZ119, AKL-SYD

    Thanks for sharing, was waiting for for an AFFer to post about this. I have the option of flying with another 777-300 on my AKL-SYD return leg or the 787-9, read that the 787-9 is alot narrower (one reviewer said she couldn't sleep with her elbows under her head). Mind you, I'm 5 foot nothing...

    Who's your TA?

    Thanks everyone, appreciate your feedback. BAM1748 - initially I contacted TA to get pricing and flight info for a Japan foodie tour that I had planned on doing. The foodie tour then became a no go due to dates and the US trip slowly evolved from there. We've been communicating back and forth...

    Who's your TA?

    I was planning on going into my local Flight Centre to book my US flights this Friday. TA and I had been emailing on and off for thr best part of a month and I didn't want to waste her time. But reading 4 pages of negative reviews on product review is giving me some serious doubt... I've only...

    Uber overseas info.

    Had this happened to me one time where GPS thought "I" was 2 streets away from where I physically was. Fortunately this was in Sydney CBD so it was all resolved with a simple phone call between Mr Uber and I. Can imagine this might cause some stress if you're travelling o/s.

    Budgeting

    I use Expense Manager, a fairly basic free app that tracks everyday and holiday current/projected expenses. I keep a separate spreadsheet for the more complex stuff. I like EM because I can log the expenses as soon as they are incurred rather than keep the receipts and then have to record them...

    Thank you for the feedback, at this stage I'm leaning towards ANZ.

    VA vs ANZ to the US (SYD-SFO) - who has the better hard/soft product?

    Morning AFFers, Title of the post says it all really... Have found loads of info re VA on this forum but not much on ANZ for some reason. J prices between the 2 carriers are now much and much the same and they're both flying the 777-300. My take so far: ANZ - overnight flight so easier on my...
