    "Executive Club" and "privilege club" access with rooms in Thailand - what do you get?

    First I am not in the Accor program. But we did stay in the Fairmont Singapore on a 3 night Luxury Escapes package which included lounge access and a free buffet dinner 1 night.So just look up LE to see if any Singapore packages they can be great value. As to the Stamford it is next to the...

    Is it OK for an Airline to Ban PAX on a Political Basis?

    Not at all. you don't know if they had checked bags and surely the manifest needs to be altered for the 2 taken off later. I only know 2 things for certain. 1. You don't know what went on. 2. I don't know what went on. So you stick to sticking up for QF. And I will keep thinking QF overreacted.

    Chasing the perfect Fuji shot

    So a Mt. Fuji post. That is the last one I will post from the train. Getting off the train was an absolute shambles two narrow entrances into the station building. there were at least 4 Chinese groups and 2 Indian tour groups. They were determined to be out first. Though it would...

    Chasing the perfect Fuji shot

    And we go under the Maglev test line. Then something comes into view. The best photos i have had of mt. Fuji in our travels in Japan up to now. Believe me probably more than 100 photos of Fujisan that day. The only worry was the weather report for the next 3 days was cloudy...

    Chasing the perfect Fuji shot

    We stopped at Otsuki and then proceeded on the Fujikyu line. several got off late here as if you haven't paid the full fare to Kawaguchigo you need to have a Fujikyu ticket. The late exit was almost certainly when a conductor boarded.

    Is it OK for an Airline to Ban PAX on a Political Basis?

    It is not my allegation but the people who left the plane that it was for political views. And when they left the protester was still on the plane and she and the Sri Lankan man were taken off the plane afterwards so you hypothesis re baggage and manifests seems to be very marginal. As for...

    Chasing the perfect Fuji shot

    In the morning it was off to Kawaguchigo in search of that mythical shot of Fuji without cloud. We have been to Japan well over 50 times and this will be our third stay there. They say however this is the best time to get that shot. We got a cab up to Sakuragicho station. Nice flowers where the...

    Chasing the perfect Fuji shot

    Of course it was back to the lounge at night. First the Sparkling. Then one of the beers in the dispensers. And once again the pizza was popular. The poor fellow making them didn't get a minute off.

    Is it OK for an Airline to Ban PAX on a Political Basis?

    Of course that assumes that the ABC doesn't make any mistakes. No one has quoted the 2 people who got off the plane. And why does QF think that getting off the plane was in anyway holding the flight up. The protest was still going on as they left. I am not concerned with the protester as she...

    Is it OK for an Airline to Ban PAX on a Political Basis?

    Supporting the cause was not mentioned by the 2 business people. How do you know that they weren't against the cause. Either is possible. It just appears I am more likely to trust people.

    Is it OK for an Airline to Ban PAX on a Political Basis?

    Actually your assumption means that in Qantas eyes you are presumed guilty unless proved otherwise. And I think your second line is a real stretch. How do you know that the 2 supported her cause. Nothing in the article suggests that it is a fact.

    Chasing the perfect Fuji shot

    The reason that I needed to be back in time was to go to the lounge for afternoon tea. No alcohol served but a good selection of nibblies. Whilst there treated to a display by a fire fighting tug. Then we walked around the hotel shops. And we found a reason why @Denali wouldn't like to...

    Chasing the perfect Fuji shot

    The last bit of the walk to the station. Now Sakuragichio station is not a major station so the JR ticket office only has one window. When I arrived there was a young Caucasian couple who only spoke English. There were 3 other people in front of me. By the time the couple left there were...

    How does Marriott treat you as an elite?

    Yes he was schooled in the old art of being a GM. Always walks around the restaurants,lounge etc and talks to guests the days he is on.

    Is it OK for an Airline to Ban PAX on a Political Basis?

    That's why I posted the SMH article. it quotes the woman who did hold up the departure and she said the other couple weren't involved in the protest so their story is corroborated. The thing we don't know is what the QF staff said.
