    Train Travel Between Kuala Lumpur and Singapore

    The ETS Service between KL and Singapore is a game changer. Every long weekend or PH in Singapore or Malaysia means E2 motorway becomes a car park. Airfares can get super expensive and I think the train would allow a traffic jam free, affordable journey between the two. The downside is missing...

    Western Sydney Airport (WSI) Discussion

    How long did it take from M7 intersection to the end of M12? I think from SYD to WSI, it does take about 35-40 minutes with M8, M5, M7 and M12, however it will ballon to 75 minutes during peak hours. Perhaps if that's the case, Qantas can do SYD-WSI transfers on a single ticket with MCT of...

    Middle East Airspace Diversions/Cancellations

I suppose it is either: Your booking is confirmed and you are safely arrived London the next day and only spent a very cheap price...

    I do agree, that's a good route to fly via Vancover, and also there's lots of options via YVR to LHR on AC too.

    Actually has anyone thought of flying via Buenos Aires? AKL-EZE-FRA-LHR from $3300 economy. No US visa required, no flying through war zone, no worries.

    I would expect some workers who previously work at SYD will become working in WSI to save commuting time.

    Many staff from elite universities live in Blue Mountains and Central Coast, and commute 2 hours to work

    I suggest it might help with ground workers catching public transport to WSI for work, but it might have missed out communities such as Cabramatta and is forcing workers to change for a train... :/
