    How well do you sleep on planes?

    If you are not keen on sleeping tabs, you could go with Melatonin which just adds to the natural melatonin we produce. Quite harmless and if you are over 55 no prescription is required. Sometimes I use melatonin but mostly Tamazapam as I find there is usually no groggy feeling on waking.

    I’ve flown a couple of times in the Premium Flatbed but have booked and paid for it from the get go. Do you find that it is a better saving by bidding for the seat? Cheers, Mitch

    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    Thanks for this. What gets me with SQ is there is 7x "J" seats left with 13 days to go. Not to mention the 4 x Blocked bassinet seats. I've experienced this before where they flew with empty J Seats but had seats on Waitlist (prior to the 2 week cutoff they have now). Makes no sense to not...

    ESTA - "Authorization Pending" for 14 days and Counting!

    My current passport has a number of Visas to North Korea. But I would think that the US Government has access to all of our travel history with the technology that have even if I had a brand new passport.

    ESTA - "Authorization Pending" for 14 days and Counting!

    Hi Natalie, I am still on the “Pending Status” after all this time and I don’t think anything will change now. I have switched my Visa interview to Perth so I could get interviewed in November rather than SYD in April (gives us more time to plan). My advice would be, if you have been to any of...

We are flying J to Queenstown in November and from what I have read, there is no lounge access at SYD or ZQN. Being SQ Gold...

    Virgin Lounge in Perth closed prior to the redeye departures?

    I am flying in J to Queenstown in November with VA. I also have Gold status with SQ. Will I be able to visit a lounge at either end?

    ESTA - "Authorization Pending" for 14 days and Counting!

    Just an update on this…. Thanks to all for the advice. I have cancelled everything. Still on the the pending list with ESTA. Be interesting to see how long it remains that way before it is denied. Have my Visa interview scheduled for April 2023 so if approved will rebook our trip next year.
