So all it seems to be that you can now redeem Skyward miles to get flights on Easyjet. Doesn't seem to be much more to it at the moment.

Re: Lollies Chocs etc get the green light for not being declared on entry to Australi I prefer to have something to declare as I think it is a sign to the customs staff that you have actually thought about what you are carrying and have not just blindly ticked no for all the options. They just...

For a daytime flight you have to leave early in the morning and then have a short connection time. Cathay's early morning departure is really the only flight leaving at that time heading towards Europe and it is just a fraction too late to connect to the afternoon flight from HKG to LHR. The...

You are getting into the start of the rainy season. But from Singapore you have a lot of choices. Some options I would recommend. Malaysia Tioman - direct flights from Singapore. Fantastic beaches Redang - direct flights from Singapore. Langkawi - Kota Kinabala - some great little islands...

There are a few options to choose from. It really depends on how long you are going to be in Australia, how much data you expect to use and where you are going to travel. Telstra have the best coverage (good for remote areas), usually have the fastest speeds, but they are also the most...

Some of those dials are really worn out. Although some of the 734s have been refurbished, the dial controls have been replaced with digital controls. They have up and down buttons with and led display for the channel number.

I found an article about it Sydney gets Kiwi airline self-service kiosks Although to give Qantas credit they have had selfserve check in for trans tasman flights for about a year now.

I agree this topic has been done to death. But to buy a spare/comfort seat is certainly not as easy as it should be. You can't buy it online. Qantas (and other airlines) don't seem to publicise it. I can't find any mention of it on their website. I bet there are some people that would buy one if...

Even Singapore is pretty quiet from 1am onwards. Most of the shops are shut or about to shut. Going towards 2am when the last flights of the evening (very early morning) leave it gets very empty. Just a few people sleeping staying the night. I have taken the 2:30am Emirates flight from Brisbane...

Row 4 on the 737-800 has more leg room, it is a bit 37 inches seat pitch, similar to business class in the 800. In practical terms because the seats are thinner row 4 has more leg room than even row 2 or 3. On the 400 it is only 35 inches seat pitch as are all of the first 6 rows. Having said...

It seems a bit of a strange offer. In only a few cases it would it actually be better value for tourists than a normal go card.

Yes the BNE Qantas lounge stays open until the CX flight has left. Also the late night MH flight uses the Qantas lounge so some J passengers from that flight will also be in the lounge at about that time.

Just of the top of my head 1. Naadam festival 2. Easter Island 3. Go dividing at Manado 4. Take the trans-mongolian/trans-siberian from Beijing to Moscow 5. Cocos Islands 6. Niue 7. Tour of Chernobyl and Pripyat 8. Safari in Africa 9. Colombo 10. Northern Lights

I have only had one case. About 3 years ago. Someone managed to intercept my replacement card. That bank did not require card to be activated so whoever had it was free to start spending. They did about $20,000 worth of purchases over a weekend. Looking over the charges they racked up they...

I very much doubt they are 'GPS enabled'. GPS signals are very weak and typically need to be out in the open to get a good signal. Luggage spends most of it time in airports or in cargo holds, so no good for GPS. From the looks of I would think it would be RFID based similar to what Qantas...

I had one motel in Auckland ring me up say that I had left a charger in my room. I was passing by it later in the day so said I would drop by and pick it. When I get there I saw it wasn't even my charger. I guess that brings another issue if they do find something it might be from the most...

The main purpose of the international driver's permit is to provide a certified translational of your license in to many different languages. So there is no point for a IDP in NZ and so the authorities don't need one. You'll need to present your Australian license when you pick up the car. The...

MH use to have their own lounge at BNE, but that closed about 5 or 6 years ago. From then on they use the Qantas lounge. Yet they have kept their own lounges at SYD, MEL and PER. I assume it made sense to keep them rather than contract out lounge to someone else at the other airports. Does...

Virgin have any seat awards see Redeem Points with Airline Partners | Velocity Frequent Flyer They are similar to the Qantas any seat awards. But there are differences, for instance you don't earn points or SCs with them.

Air Pacific have three 737-800s. Two of them are are 13 years old and showing their age. If you are lucky you'll get the 2 year old (although second hand from Air Berlin) 737-800. There is also a 737-700 that occasionally is used for Australian flights, it is 14 years.
