I was in BKK recently and used a Grab to get from my hotel to the Airport. The owner/driver was a female in a new high-end Chinese car who was an excellent and safe driver. She gave me her card, and when I suggested I tell others, she agreed. Her name is Kathi, and her local number is...

After two failed attempts at early check-in SIN for MAS, I have worked out why it doesn't work (for me), and it makes perfect sense. What doesn't make sense is why MAS doesn't tell you why it doesn't work. As a non-Malaysian passport holder, I require evidence of an onward ticket on that...

Hi, I am trying out the venerated Al Safwa Lounge in DOH - then heading to Egypt. I have never been to Egypt before, and I would be interested in any advice for this first-time traveller. First night I will stay at the InterCon Semiramis in Cairo and open after that. Thanks Spruce.

There seems to be an issue with the Etihad flight leaving Melbourne this evening—it's circling over the bay and dumping fuel.

I just found an invite to this in Canberra, and my spam thingy was clearly asleep. https://conference2024.safeskiesaustralia.org/program/ Is anyone here going to this? I see Virgin is not a Sponsor - those private equity dollars are harder to grab, I guess.

Is the Australian Landing card still required to be written and submitted manually? Could we be doing arrival clearances more efficiently?

I have an MAS booking within Asia and thought I would input my QFF#. I can't, and my enquiries have led to the story (allegedly) that MAS had a cyber attack on FF#s being put in all active bookings. I am not sure if this is the case, but the FF# number section on 'My Booking' on the MAS...

Does anyone in our diverse community utilise a private car transfer service when they arrive at AKL? Public transport is hit and miss; I avoid cabs wherever possible, and the Ubers are probably the worst I have experienced globally. A private commercial service with a decent car and driver...

I have recently been through HKG on a few trips lately, and things are starting to normalise towards HKG2.0. Outbound has been on QF128, and I can say the ground service from QF is the best I have experienced in a while. The ground staff are very attentive; they know and acknowledge their...

As reported by the BBC, The Dutch government will legislate to reduce flights from Schipol Airport by 60,000 per annum to 440,000, citing climate action and noise pollution. Regardless of the outcome of the reported commercial legal challenge by the affected airlines, does this move to...

You mean 2+3+2 ? If so, they are not the best, a bit cramped. Still, I would have been grateful despite your issues (unknown at the time). It's a QF 737 and they don't have a lie flat. I would have routed DPS-SIN-MEL on J if you wanted comfort. The CSM was probably having a bad day. I had...

I sometimes travel between Melbourne and Canberra, and I prefer to drive if I need to clear a busy head. The problem is that the straight drive can be slightly too long, and I occasionally stop in Albury for the night. I receive pleasure from reading trip reports and feel 'duty-bound' to share...

I’ve heard some press reports that as part of a data leak VA have suspended some Velocity accounts. I am sure there will be further confirmation and a response to this shortly.

I was reading an ABC article by Catherine Taylor this morning headlined “Can Qantas bounce back from the ‘perfect storm’”…..“ which pointedly asks “Have Australians fallen out of love with the QANTAS brand“? The article related instances by ‘Tom’ (a senior Qantas pilot) where basic routine...

As reported late this afternoon there was a double ejection from a Hornet at Amberley (on takeoff) with the pilots and aircraft appearing to be safe. This is always engineering and skills displayed at a cutting edge. I will try to find some footage.

So it doesn't matter if I was on an AY ticket and travelling a CX flight from HKG to SIN to transfer to AY flight I still pursue CX for their delay to get me to AY flight from SIN on time? One PNR.

Very good advice from SIA. You should always be prepared to exit a burning aircraft so shoes on is better than shoes off although I suspect their motive is reduced cabin obstruction. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25brQSPMORg

Hi, any recent experience on the best hotel that services Terminal 3 or the airport in general. We have an overnight layover and it doesn't really justify heading back into town for. Suggestions appreciated.

Came through the other day. No air bridge, hoardes of people waiting for late flights blocking the exit, tasteless architecture and such a hike to the front gate. is this the worst example of modern terminals ??? Are there any worse ones?

A Qatar Airways Boeing 787-800, registration A7-BCT performing flight QR-180 from Oslo (Norway) to Doha (Qatar) with 254 people on board, was enroute at FL350 about 160nm northwest of Bucharest (Romania) when the crew needed to shut an engine (GEnx) down, the crew declined any left turns and...
