Made any travel mistakes lately?

Not wanting to strain my brain too much at this time of the day, I asked Co-Pilot what this could be.
When Co-pilot asked, "would you like me to also give you a list of similar tongue‑in‑cheek acronyms that aviation enthusiasts often invent in forums?", I just couldn't resist.

I am sure many in our pilot community would use this form of "PAX"

Typical AI rubbish. Just waffle without finding the one true answer.

Yes, but at that time of day, and given the subject matter that was all I was wanted - so a perfect answer

Yes but it was the wrong answer. A quick search of AFF would have been faster and more successful.

Looking for an open supermarket to buy dinner supplies on a Sunday afternoon in Germany, daughter used google maps to direct us to somewhere that looked open. Making the final turn, we were met by a barrier and heavily armed guards blocking access the supermarket. All the family now know the US definition of commissary. Restaurant for dinner was the alternative.

last minute packing saw me leave my hairbrush and belt at home. Quite a task only having a comb to tame my wild hair, and annoying to be constantly pulling jeans up as im in between sizes right now.

Being too capricious with my plans in northern Africa!

Well, that's cryptic!

Basically I could have planned a bit better and stricter than I did. Everything worked out well, don't get me wrong.

Travelling between SAI and KTI via plane.

Umpteen times more expensive than a bus, and that's just the airfare itself, without adding in transfers to and from the respective airports, then factor in all the time. There are no lounges and you get shunted into the butt end of both airports (since Cambodia doesn't have much to go on in terms of domestic operations, naturally they don't need many check-in desks, security checkpoints or gates, hence no lounges and few concessions). Onboard got a bottle of water and a biscuit (similar to a shortbread).

While I have no direct experience, if I had done a bit of research apparently there are buses between both cities that have aircon, wifi and even snacks included.

Standing up to corruption in a major West African airport and being threatened offboarding for making a fuss about it.
Apparently my mistake was not paying "lunch money" like everyone else.

Ah well, keep reading AFF and you will glean lots of tips @IFEResearch4MastersThesis

My mistake was to fly on New Year's Eve and to end up in the Sydney Virgin Lounge this morning to find they are still playing Christmas music

Eh, it's grand, it was somewhat out of my control to an extent anyway.
