    Qatar Ist class lounge access Doha

    We thought we would do the free bus tour when we had a similar time there. On arrival we got to the bus tour desk. There was a big queue with no priority line. We finally got to the desk and were told we could get seats in about 12 hours. With the 3 hour tour, we would have missed our...

    Successful QF 'Bid Now Upgrades' data thread

    This could mean, if you want to bid with points, the minimum is 3,600 points. If you wish to use cash, you can ignore the first sentence and use 0 points. Could you hit submit with 0 points and $130 cash?

    Does that work better for getting them to sleep than a drive in the car?

    Have you tried playing the sound randomly? Imagine the reaction. You could time it to give morse code instructons.

    First time to South America

    Home and happy What would we do differently? Most things worked well. It was unexpected to get a covid PCR coming into Santiago for the second leg. The thought of spending time in an isolation hotel was not appealing. Flying direct from AKL-SCL-CJC worked with the hotel ensuring prompt...

    First time to South America

    Day 13 No messages or missed calls from the Chilean government. Time to check the website. And we are safe. A bit of relief as we had no desire to spend a week in a quarantine hotel and more input here were NO seats to AKL for at least a few days after release date. We joined a walking tour...

    First time to South America

    Day 10 part 2 The train takes you up to Garganta del Diablo. It’s free, but you need a ticket which you get at the train station. It’s open carriages and the ride up was packed. All a little strange to be that close in the covid era. At the top there is a 1km walk over the river and islands to...

    Day 9 Early start to AEP for Aerolineas flight to Iguacu. Simple machine check in with no luggage. The off the the gate where we waited.

    NZ Blocked to non-residents/NZ citizens, AU until Apr 13, others May 2 2022

    Yes, the government have kept the traveler declaration. Senseless, inexcusably badly put together, obtaining duplicate information that you need to complete on other forms, with no flexibility to change flights and no way to contact trace as this team are no longer required. WOFTAM

    First time to South America

    Day 8 Spent a quiet morning just out strolling and sampling coffee. Met up with the Mrs for lunch, then she wanted to see Recollata cemetery. Then I wandered down to see El Atenio bookstore. What a shop, I hope it survives. Finished the afternoon packing the suitcase and taking it to the hotel...
