    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    Thanks for the replies/suggestions, all. I would not feel comfortable setting an audible alarm in a designated quiet area so I'll just go with setting my phone to vibrate and positioning it somewhere I'll notice. Serfty; big extra thanks for the info on the cupboard - very helpful.

    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    I realise this question may be met with some jovial derision, but to serfty (and anyone else who has had success sleeping in the SKL T3 sleeping loungers); did you set yourself an alarm or something to ensure you did not oversleep? I've got an overnight layover coming up at SIN and am actually...

    Biggest juxtaposition between luxury (from points) and budget (from money)?

    Holy moly, that wine list! What did you drink?

    Biggest juxtaposition between luxury (from points) and budget (from money)?

    Fun topic. I don't think I can beat your example but I am familiar with the feeling (eg, J flights somewhere to then crash at a friend's place). I'm strongly of the view that those comfy flights add so much to a holiday, specially a short one like yours. The flights become part of the fun, not...

    MEL-HBA, EIGHT flights??

    Well but also our booking was on a 10xx flight number. And still was when notified of the time changes. 1707451632 And I did point that only the 15xx flights showed as bookable in my original post.

    Thanks, RooFlyer. Indeed, that is exactly my question.

    MEL-HBA, EIGHT flights??

    Thanks Harrison. Forgive my ignorance, but what exactly does "zeroed out" mean? I've heard the term before but don't really know what it means precisely - hasn't affected us before 😅 We are booked on one of the 737 services, so I just want to know what to expect. 1707432691 Haha, welllll, there...

    MEL-HBA, EIGHT flights??

    Hi all, So we got a notification from QF about timing changes to an upcoming (April) MEL-HBA flight (not the only one we've received in the last few days - QF seem to be doing a lot of fiddling at the moment). Anyway, this change left us with a pretty tight connection from the preceding PER-MEL...

    Conrad Shanghai: Pool Access

    Echoing previous comments - swimming cap was required at Grand Central Hotel in Shanghai when we stayed there a few years back. At least they handed them out at no charge. I really disliked having to wear it, but no choice, gotta accept local customs etc...other than once or twice when we...

    The Castle

    The first twelve hours sound to me like a fabulous day, but I suppose you'd tell me it wouldn't do to retire as the dancing begins, even as the law of diminishing returns surely begins to take effect in earnest.

    Travelling around Vietnam

    Hi Matthew I've not used the buses but have heard pretty much nothing but bad things about them. One of the main concerns raised about them is safety - apparently the drivers can be pretty reckless. And I seem to recall comments that there are NOT toilets on board. Now, it may be that these folk...

    Singapore and Indochina

    Well well, PP is all grownsed-up! 😁 Now a loooong way from the place described in "Off The Rails In Phnom Penh" - thankfully/hopefully. It's a place I've wanted to get back to out of curiosity, knowing it was rapidly changing, but also feeling like there was not quite enough there for me to make...

    Singapore and Indochina

    Enjoyed this report, NSun, thanks for posting. Wowee. I think anyone who wants to use the term "whirlwind trip" now has to match or beat this to gain permission to use that phrase. Looks like Phnom Penh has grown up quite some since I was there in early 2007, which is just what I would expect...

    What's the difference between recall and from memory? 😅
