    I only have pics of Legoland and Lego House etc. Nothing really from around Billund township etc. Happy to post a couple of Lego pics etc if required.

    Just to clarify that's the one way fare... I didn't have a pic of both fares together but it was similar price for the return fare. It was under $11k return.

    Yeah agreed 100%. The shared aisle is definitely a down side.

    SIN has security at the gates, so you have to go through a security screening process before you can board, where your passport and boarding pass are checked. Boarding was about 5 minutes after I arrived at the gate and again a dedicated boarding lane was available for First Class passengers...

    The F lounge was pretty full on our arrival. As you enter the showers and toilets are immediately on your left and then you continue onto the lounge area followed by three dining areas all in a row. I had a shower to freshen up and luckily for me there was no waiting. The shower was nice...

    Apologies for the delay with the last part of the trip report. QF2 departed from gate 40 at T3 which was about a 10 minute walk from the lounge. There are a couple of moving walkways on the journey but not all were working. The gate was pretty full by the time I arrived for the 20:20 boarding...

    The Check for QF2 opens at 17:05 at the C departures in Terminal 3, which is four hours before scheduled departure at 21:05hrs. The security lines are long, even with Fast Track it was about 15-20 minutes. Though to the lounge and it filled up pretty quick. Being an F passenger, a table is...

    If you are in Oslo and have a spare hour, a tour of the royal palace I thought was worth it. It is a working palace and they take you through a heap of rooms and you get a real sense of what life might be like as a royal. It is a small palace, but I enjoyed it. There is no photos or videos...

    Sorry for the long delay between posts, things have been hectic, or I've just been lazy. Probably the later if I am being completely honest. I have been doing a heap of walking at the by the time I get back to the hotel I am genuinely knackered. Having said that, the sun here is like endless...

    Airport trains from Helsinki Central Station are the I and P trains and require an ABC zone ticket which was 4.10euro. The trains are regular and takes about 30mins. It stops directly under the airport. Check in for Finnair is all self serve kiosks and bag drop, which was fairly simple. To...

    The flight from LHR to HEL is on a A321 which has all economy seats in a three three layout. The first six rows were designated J which just had the middle seat blocked. J was full for this flight and the Finnair crew were very friendly. Champagne was free flowing from the small...

    Wow... that sounds cheap and nasty. You would definitely get over fruit pretty quickly. I remember some years back on QF there used to be the option of pre selecting your meals in the premium cabins. It was called Q something. That wasn't bad because you could at least see what was on offer...

    That actually looks pretty good. I'm glad it's not just me that thinks the GF meals are rubbish.

    Yeah, I just guessed. I've found the gluten free meals are extremely bland and basic. In J and F there's usually more than one meal choice and 90% of the time there's one that's gonna be pretty close to GF. I have actually never asked about GF whilst on board. Are you coeliac? How do you go on...
