    Multiple flights to save money, then combining (TG @BKK Q’s)

    I've been trying to find a way to Europe return in July which doesn't invoke too much pain, and Premium Economy is costing more than the (admittedly cheap) J flights we had in 2018. So ... a bit of research seems to say that we can do daytime TG flights both SYD-BKK & BKK-SYD, and they even...

    Overnight in Tokyo and finding flights to an entire country?

    Apologies if these questions have been asked before, it's hard to believe it hasn't but my searches were fruitless ... We might be going to Germany in July, paying our own actual money which means premium economy. We also no longer have any status. First question is ... are there any search...

    Getting from SYD to Johor Bahru?

    Some friends are to be married in JB next June, and not yet having had the chance to chat with them about the best way to get there (I mean they’ve done the trip plenty of times so prolly have opinions), I was wondering what AFF thinks about getting there? The relevant parameters & wot I has...

    QF6012 - A380 taking off & then landing in Sydney - what's this?

    On Saturday morning, maybe an hour after we'd seen an SQ A380 coming into Sydney, my wife pointed-out another A380 off in the distance joining the usual landing approach from an unusual direction ... she said "hey there's one going in a circle" (to which I thought "yeah nah") & as it got closer...

    QF not publishing their IFE online anymore?

    Dropping the better-half off at the airport for a Thursday night QF flight, wanted to check the movies (eg. I might want to watch something at home she’s watching in the air! :) ) ... and couldn’t find them. Have they stopped publishing it, or is it just impossible to find now? Are they...

    Does VA do upgrades on points, internationally?

    I’ve got a few VA frequent flyer points, gathered over the years, and recently wondered how many it’d cost to upgrade from economy on a trans-pacific flight. It looks like VA only allows the use of points to ‘buy’ tickets, and don’t allow the use of points to upgrade a flight you’ve already...

    Do all airlines (and specifically China Airlines) change IFE at month-start?

    I think the topic basically says it all ... is it a standard thing for all airlines to be changing In Flight Entertainment on the first of a month; or do some change it more often than that? Flying China Airlines again tomorrow, last time was the start of the same month (& I’m expecting the...

    Are smaller (long-haul) aircraft more affected by turbulence?

    Having little long-haul experience, and having only been in 747’s, an A380, A330’s and 777’s for international flights in the past, I recently flew from Sydney to London on an A350. It’s obviously a smaller plane than the 747’s I’ve flown in the past for such a trip, and also seems to be...

    The Latest Thing in 'phone offline SatNav?

    After the shock of something like $13/day to rent one of the dodgy SatNav devices that car rental companies rent out, I started looking at how to get SatNav on an iPhone SE. There's no guarantee that the rental will have SatNav (and I believe in some countries the rental company will even...

    Comfy dress vs Acceptable dress

    So I’ve got a not-for-work trip to the UK in a couple of months, and I’m not the frequent traveller in the family; my wife is. Thing is, she can get away with wearing the right type of trackie-dacks & she doesn’t look like a slob, whereas if I try the same I look either like a character from...

    Apologies if this has been asked recently, I tried a search and wasn't able to find a recent response. I've been looking for Jetstar or Qantas domestic flights from Sydney T1 (International) ... does anyone know if there still are any?
