Qantas doesn't care, for so long as total demand is exceeding total supply (due to artificial constraints imposed by the Australian govt / CL members) QF planes are reasonably full with pax paying high prices.

🥺 Still no divider...

It's super-easy to just ring the number, and they book it for you fee-free if you say the website does not work. Takes 60 seconds if you know your dates/times. DO NOT perservere with the website!

Maybe reconsider your choice of airline...

Yes, I can second India as requiring cash still. Even a couple of the major historic sites only took cash and fairly significant sums at that (by local standards) eg 600 rupees for foreign tourist entry. However, there is an extensive ATM network and none of them that I used took a local fee...

Still a chick magnet, Dr Ron!

Got me in one. I am a sad and unimportant person, whereas you are very important and every minute of your life you are doing great benefit to mankind.

(Yes, if AU is your destination, duty free is deliver to the gate, so you need to purchase it 90(?) minutes before flight time.) Five hours is effectively four hours I suppose, so if you did not want to enter Singapore, you could visit the butterfly garden and orchid garden, take the skytrain...

No additional effort (or cost) if you are transiting SIN anyway. Bottles are delivered to your seat on the plane. Easier than going to Dan's.

But Australia is just not a big enough market and Qantas not a big enough airline to have lots of point to point routes. So a lot of pax will end up with two x transits with the first and third sectors on coughpy narrowbodies, as per @jase05 examples in his comment above. Even if Sydney-based...

SIN Lotte DF: A$25 for Tanqueray 1L 47% versus Dan Murphy A$70 Tanqueray 1L 40%. Not to be sneezed at (when buying up to your allowance of 2L).

Maybe they are just equating expensive with luxury.

Sorry, not sure. But the S$27.50 list price seems standard, and that is still very cheap. Correction: I just checked my receipt. It was S$27.00 list, with 20% off if buy 2! That is insane.

Tanqueray 1L at S$27.50 or buy two for 10% off - sensational price! It's the proper stuff at 47%.

Only downside is you are flying Qantas.

I flew into Tashkent from Seoul with Asiana, who are excellent. Domestic inter-city travel within Uzbekistan was by train, which was also excellent.

No.

Bloody cold but it's a great city with lots to see - the palace, the historic village, markets, fish market, shopping arcades attached to metro stations (some of these are interesting and on a theme, eg vinyl record shops). And the food!

Bless, Qantas customers expecting Qantas to actually implement improved products instead of just promising them "next year."

Yeah, it's been a bit average, but to be fair, on my last visit to the SYD lounge, they had a chicken korma and rice for lunch, and the korma was nice (although too mild for my taste) and packed with chicken, which was great. I was expecting three or four lonely pieces swimming in lots of sauce...
