I dunno- this excuse never worked for me as a.) I am always hungry and b.) meal times are different for different people, especially if one happens to connect from a long international flight. Nothing worse than breakfast in your hotel, followed by breakfast in the lounge, breakfast on your...

Similar situation at Sydney Qantas Domestic at the moment where only Uber is allowed to do curbside pickup (unless that has changed in recent weeks). Price wise, I notice that without the discounts, it’s becoming muchness for muchness between the two now, at least in the major inner city...

Yes, can’t get the Chinese Didi app in the Australian app store which is rather strange. Works a treat though as a mini program inside WeiXin (WeChat) which is readily available and accessible from Australia. Translates automatically into English as well which is a godsend and payment via...

As I've said on this thread before-I'll believe it when I see it!

Will definitely take pictures and post a trip report on here. That beef fillet indeed looks awesome! :p

That’s where Air tags are a godsend! Not that any airline will listen to you if you tell them where to find your “lost” bag but at least you always know. It’s very reassuring when you see your bag making its way from the bowels of the airport to just outside your gate when you’re about to board…

Glad to hear. We’re using CX to Europe in July and it’s one of the few OW carriers I’ve somehow never flown so a bit anxious about the meals. Sounds like there’s nothing to worry about! We paid just over 6k return each and on the way back depart Paris one week before the Olympics so that deal...

Yep- it definitely is. Had it twice now and can confirm that this Reuben is one of the tastier Qantas offerings!

Oh, plenty of problems with running a MAX, no matter what airline!

There you’ve just mentioned another flaw! 😂

I think they made it hard for themselves and much earlier than this. Like- launching with an idiotic business plan to begin with? :rolleyes:

Interesting you say that as in my experience, Amex is always much more forthcoming in cases like this and the process much easier than with the other cards. But this might also depend on the issuer- my experience is limited to my Amex charge card and then VISA/MASTER cards issued by various...

Property: The Langbo, An Unbound Collection by Hyatt Hotel, Chengdu, China Tier: Globalist Booked: Used Suite Upgrade certificate for a Standard Suite Received: Great suite with views from the 58th floor, plenty of (Voss branded) water, one round of mini bar and snacks free (Coke, Sprite, some...

Fair enough, maybe I’m a bit too cynical here. But in this case, the warning signs have really been all over. Luckily, it seems like more trustworthy competitors are now jumping in to help so that’s a good end to this story in my mind.

Oh, I’m not aware of any such thing either. But the Max is an inherently unsafe aircraft so I wouldn’t set foot on one, no matter which airline. And if an airline like Bonza doesn’t have anything else, then you can’t even carefully avoid those murder machines which is what I usually do over in...

Well, that was always going to happen, no big surprise there. Just waiting now for all the articles in the media about all the cheapies who had “no idea” and are now crying about missing Mother’s Day. Yawn, you get what you pay for. And paying for a Maxx Murder flight on a shoddy airline was...

Yea- that’s exactly the issue here. If you don’t speak Chinese (or one is stuck seemingly forever in HSK 3 like I am because it’s just so damn hard to learn), you have no idea that it’s not a proper Hyatt. In English, it has the “by Hyatt” very prominently all over its name and that’s on purpose...

This is my biggest gripe about a lot of these supposedly “amazing” Asian carriers too. SQ is also like that and JAL is the very worst offender. No choice of starters and on many (or in JAL’s case, all) occasions, it’s fish or seafood which I can’t eat. Give me a tomato soup on Qantas instead...

Was the same for me a while ago when many companies still insisted to use taxis which was almost always a bad experience and priced way higher than Uber or Didi would ever be. Luckily most companies have now clued up and allow you to use ride share apps.

Since Hyatt started this joint venture with a Chinese brand, I was super curious to see what it’s about so this trip to China was finally our chance to see! Unfortunately, this particular property is simply a renovated old local hotel and this shows throughout. On arrival, only one staff member...
