ET452 ADD-CAI A350-900 ET-AWN Dep: sched 2205 / actual 2240 Arr: sched 0205 / actual 0148 (note the excessive schedule padding…) I had planned to go over and have my complimentary dinner at the ET Skylight hotel, but getting there at 1800 when it supposedly started, yielded only some salads and...

Hotel check in was slow and everyone checking out seemed to just push in to drop off their cards. Can’t complain about the room or the hotel; all nice enough. Double the car park viewing pleasure! Although the far one is a bus park, so don’t know whether that really counts. Was given vouchers...

At the gate in BKK I’d been given my STPC hotel ‘voucher’ for the Ethiopian Skylight hotel during my 16 hour stopover. On arrival in ADD we were shuttled across from the stand-off bay to the terminal then had a 5-600m walk to firstly transit security and that’s where the bulk of the pax seemed...

Not sure whether to start a similar thread or just note this here, but I just booked and paid for a *A version of this fare. NH/UA, CGK to a couple of places on US east coast. I’ve gone for DCA. Outbound: CGK-HND-ORD-DCA 30Dec Return: DCA-IAH-NRT-CGK 20Jan J fare AUD4700, which from my...

After a couple of hours in my day room BKK hotel (basic place but was okay - what do you expect for AUD50), it was back in the hotel shuttle for the ten minute trip to BKK. ET check in smooth and I was given a pass for the Miracle Lounge as J pax. Seems like there are plenty of them scattered...

I haven’t actually enabled it yet @SYD. In Addis Ababa at the moment so will do it in a day when I get to Europe (ATH). There was a note in the enabling instructions saying better to go through the enabling process when in the region of the sim. Hopefully it works well as we ended up buying...

If with luggage and on separate tickets - yes. HLO - don’t know.

The minor premiership doesn’t really mean anything these days with the expanded comp because the draw is never balanced. When everyone played everyone else, home and away, it may have had more relevance. So the finals seeks to balance the equity of the draw by giving a banding effect: Top 4 -...

On another note, I couldn’t get a decent photo heading out of BKK but there were about 5 A380s sitting very forlornly in a corner piece of tarmac. Faded livery like they’d just had the life sucked out of them. Sad. BKK was its usual hive of organised chaos. Didn’t have to go from the baggage...

SQ708 SIN-BKK A350-900 9V-SHI Dep: sched 0930 / actual 0951 Arr: sched 1100 / actual 1050 Back in whY for this hop up to BKK as there was no Y+ cabin on this A359 layout. With a spare middle seat, as I had on this flight, I do struggle to see the difference between the products. I like the...

You could’ve been forgiven for thinking this was in the Middle East somewhere: MEL yesterday whilst boarding SQ flight.

Just donate $100 to the guide dogs, surf lifesaving or salvos and help the world through established channels.

After mostly decent sleep it’s off to the mediocre SIN T2 KrisFlyer Gold lounge where I had the full experience: - toilet facilities outside the lounge - blandest scrambled eggs in the world (necessitated addition of some sambal) - inaudible announcements - manbags, satchels and gym bags on...

Having now flown long(ish) haul Y+ on a number of different airlines (QF, VA, SN and now SQ), I guess I can summarise it as just not sucking as much as a regular Y seat. The couples of extra cms of leg room are nice but 8 or more hours still leaves me feeling uncomfortable. SQ208 MEL-SIN...

SQ lounge MEL They’re not choosing one team or the other. All boarded my first *A airline for the trip. Next stop SIN.

35 minutes was all it took at MEL to: collect bags from QF 🧳 walk upstairs to SQ check-in in T2 ⬆️ get new boarding passes 🎫 drop off golf bag at oversize 🏌️‍♂️ clear security (no wait) 🩻 leave Australia via smartgate 👋 navigate through the shopping centre 😠 descend to the SilverKris dungeon ⬇️...

We pulled up at a gate near these two: Won’t be seeing them for much longer.
