Departing next Tuesday for a long planned trip to Japan to see 🌸. Well, that's the plan, Mother Nature likely has other plans. Of course we have to overnight in Sydney and where else but? I checked their drinks prices the other day. It's going to be a quiet night that night. The trip...

Today we received this email. The cruise has had its balcony plus sold out for a year. Some haven't been assigned their guarantee and it's through a very large US TA so they have to be honoured. And no one is posting the same on either Cruise Critic roll call or our FB group. We have the best...

Silverseas Silver Nova was in port in Adelaide today and perfect weather. Very pretty ship. Much smaller than the Oasis there last week.

I’ve found this app really good for all plans and especially cruises when every port and times are populated. Of the two I emailed yesterday, it simply refuses to load up one cruise even though they send email and alert confirmation. I’ve created a ticket but nothing back yet. Anyone got any...

Just booked a cruise to see a total solar eclipse. For August. 2026. Just hope I live long enough. 😂

We have a booking from Adelaide - Syd - DPS in October and was wanting to change the flight from Adelaide to leave on an earlier flight because Sydney is, well Sydney and Adelaide flights can run late. Plus, there's the F lounge to consider. This was a paid for flight in J for DSC and flex...

I usually do trip reports Live as they happen. But this trip started when I'd still not recovered from a respiratory infection and it was all I could do to travel. It took another two weeks for me to kick into gear and then, well, it didn't happen. So the premise was to have a weeks stay with...

So I see I asked this type of question back in 2017 and no response 😂. Trying again. I'll preempt this by saying that I'm fully aware that seeing Japan by cruise is not the best way of seeing the country I'll get that out of the way. So, I'd like some input into which cruise is best, granted...

It's paywalled for me and I can't find it anywhere, so does anyone know which airline just pulled out of Adelaide the day after EK announced their return? It's not like we have that many to start with anyway!

Weirdest experience. Remember those heady days of parity when we could and did buy at ease from US and use a shipping service, in my case , MyUS? I haven’t used them for so long but still had an address inbox. A few days ago I received an email saying they’d received my parcel and had to do an...

Literally and figuratively. With son moving to the UK and getting married there, in the midst of Covid, as kids are in the habit of doing, it's been three years since we celebrated Christmas with him and his family. So when they married we determined that Christmas in 18 months time it is. And...

We have scored a 3am flight out of Dubai to Sin. We are OWE so the F lounge awaits. Could we expect to checkin around 10pm? Tx.

So we have had the pleasure of (once again) staying at the Intercontinental Bali on Jimbaran Bay. Last time was five years ago but just as a stopover on our way to UK, which we found was a cheap way to book Qatar DPS - Doha - LHR. This time we had the pleasure 🤣 of flying Qantas from Adelaide...

Original Title: Anyone care to guess why this happened today? A new way forward - err backwards for Qantas?Waiting on plane now 20 minutes late for 2 pilots (passengers) who may or may not be planning to board. Sigh.

Am looking at new carry on luggage for December and like the look of July. The dimensions are 54cm H x 36cm W x 22cm D (24.5cm D when expanded). But it seems this exceeds the dimensions. Flying in J so have been searching Dr google but hoping for first hand experience here. July is popular...

Asking for a friend. 😀. Am hedging my bets on a Jetstar 😳 service failure on a direct and daytime flight from DPS to Adl with a pre booked Qantas flight via Melbourne but with a night flight as the return trip. Which we loathe. Our Jetstar flight will arrive back 5 hours in Oz before the...

I've posed this question in the TR but asking for more general opinions here as to whether I'm off base. We had a late night flight last night in MAS in J on points, thankfully. The flight length was 7 hours tops. Departed late at 11pm. . I decided to go to sleep immediately after seat belt...

After several Covid cancellations it seems we might just get to see another bucket list trip to Egypt, Jordan and Israel. Originally planned as a Nile River cruise with extensions which would afford easier access to the Valley of the Kings and Queens, Petra and Israel, that cruise was Covid...

Ok so plans have to change. Today learnt that KLM had changed our flights - to arrive in KL 24 hours earlier than we'd booked. We'd already factored in a night stay at Sama Sama in a Premier as the flights to Australia have different PNR and we wanted to have a buffer. That was a night and most...

Received a phone call this afternoon stating that as I was a Virgin Business Customer I would receive a $50 voucher to be redeemed online. When I said I wasn’t such a customer they hung up. Scam?
