Each S4 jet has a marketing word along the fuselage, designed to reflect elements of their home. We flew on Wonder. In the photo of the PDL ramp above you can see Nature and Pure. They also have aircraft with Magical, Inspire, Breathe and Peaceful on their fleet. I think it works with their...

S4125 LIS-PDL A321-200neo CS-TSG Dep: sched 1410 / actual 1432 Arr: sched 1540 / actual 1531 SATA Azores was our airline of choice, although cheaper options were available with FR / U2 and TP also flies the route. I’m pretty certain I had booked whY tickets but then paid to select seating and...

The family Scarlett reunited in Lisbon after our separate and circuitous routings. Interestingly, zero delays, missed connections or baggage troubles anywhere along the routes we took. I’m going to say it’s because we’re match fit! (and a great dose of luck!) We spent the day strolling around...

My summary of *A activity thus far: SQ - dependably consistent quality. Y+ okay but I don’t think I’d pay for it again over whY. SQ lounge MEL is a bit of a small dungeon and the KrisFlyer Gold lounge SIN T2 remains mediocre. 8/10 ET - fine for overnight flights even with what by modern...

Today and then in 6 days will be some domestic Portuguese flights with SATA Azores (S4). Today we’re going LIS-PDL out to the main island in the Azores, São Miguel and the city of Ponta Delgada. I paid a small amount extra (ISTR €15 pp) to choose better seats, maybe in row 1, so we’ll see what...

I posted some shots in the trip report thread but thought I might comment here as well, mind you I suspect I’m in a pool of single digits of Australians who have bothered to play here: Addis Ababa GC, Ethiopia. It’s the only real golf course in the country, although there is apparently a little...

Don’t have a 5G phone, so 🤷‍♂️. Belay that last: Mrs Scarlett says her phone has connected to 5G.

Was definitely during the pandemic, I remember seeing them all sadly grounded there.

@SYD and all: I can report that the EscapeSIM eSIM setup has worked perfectly thus far. I purchased 3 eSIMs during an olympics sale and have now activated all three in Europe two months later. Mrs and Mstr Scarlett activated theirs during a transit at FCO and both picked up an Italian provider...

A3722 ATH-LIS A321-200neo SX-NAA Dep: sched 2115 / actual 2136 Arr: sched 2345 / actual 2335 Flight time 4 hours. The flight was completely full. There were four guys waiting around the gate clearly on standby and the agent was joking around with them and keeping them updated on their chances...

The first question I had transferring at ATH was whether I needed to collect bags, even though they’d been tagged through to LIS. Wasn’t sure whether I was supposed to collect them to go through customs when first entering the EU. I checked with one customs staff member but even though I tried...

MS749 CAI-ATH B737-800 SU-GDZ Dep: sched 1635 / actual 1648 Arr: sched 1835 / actual 1833 Boarding was via a bus gate, which meant a slower than normal process, but a little tour of the tarmac out to our aircraft. There are plenty of negatives about MS, but one of them can’t be about their...

65 golf courses hey? More than I thought, especially with the limited season. I’ve played two of them: Hólmsvöllur out past Keflavik airport, and Golfklúbbur Hellu a rural course an hour and a half from Reykjavik towards the waterfalls and fjords attractions in the direction of Vik. I think it...

As there were only two of us in the shuttle to the Novotel, it was a quick check in and up to my allocated room. The whole hotel felt like it had been built in the 90s and then never properly cleaned or upgraded. The carpets were pretty poorly stained and it definitely felt like the bottom end...

I’ll see how the return leg goes in a fortnight, but I wouldn’t be worried. Everything about ET was fine, mediocre, but fine. It’s no SQ or QR, but then the majority of airlines aren’t. The J product was fine for sleeping and the cabin crew always pleasant. Certainly no problem if you’re...

I had my pre-purchased $25 for single entry Visa for Egypt (had taken about 24 hours after payment, so not an instantaneous thing) and immigration was a simple 5 minute exercise. Then the waiting for bags began. And continued. Then after 30 minutes the first bags appeared. Then stopped. Then the...
