    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    That's a very good point which I hadn't considered to be honest. The 1.5 hours extra sleeping time might be a game changer 🤔 Thanks dajop!

    Singapore Airlines bulkhead seats in business

    I had a reward seat booked earlier this year using Velocity points with my daughter travelling with me as a lap infant. We got automatically assigned seat 15A on a B777-300ER. I couldn't even change it no matter how hard I tried. Not that I was complaining because the seat was so wide and long...

    Emirates Restores Melbourne-Singapore Connection

    Haven't booked, was wondering if I should go down the QF/EK route or try out Scoot which is having a nice sales now. Scoot saves me around $800 but wanted to know what the luggage allowance is on EK. I know QF gives me 30kg...

    Emirates Restores Melbourne-Singapore Connection

    Does anyone know what the luggage allowance is for the EK404 flight from SIN to MEL in economy? And is there a difference if I've booked it as a codeshare on QF? Just a lowly bronze unfortunately 😅

    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    It's a little bit like Hokkien mee isn't it? You'll find that the Singaporean and Malaysian variety are completely different 😂 Sorry to go so wildly off-topic!

    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    Yeah it would be different because the herbs used are different. Song Fa's only has white pepper, salt, spices and permitted enhancers so much less herbs. I haven't personally tried it on SQ's BTC but I cook it at home quite often so would be interesting to make a comparison. Perhaps on my next...

    Optus new $50 SIM only with roaming

    I too got the dreaded email this arvo, sadly the global roaming will disappear from my plan. At least I got to use it a few times this year in Japan, Malaysia and Singapore 😅

    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    The BKT served on SQ flights is from Song Fa, which is the Teochew-style peppery type and a little different to the usual BKT. It doesn't come with the normal ingredients such as YouTiao and mushrooms etc. but is still tasty nonetheless.

    2 weeks in Japan - looking for ideas

    Having just been to Kanazawa in May, I can attest that it's indeed a fantastic city to spend a few days. I enjoyed it more than Kyoto, even though that was during autumn with the maddening crowds. Stayed 3 nights at Forza Kanazawa and it was splendid.

    Earliest Qantas Haneda Check-In Time?

    T-4 is great as it gives us more time to do some last minute souvenir shopping at the duty-free shops before hitting the lounge ;)

    Earliest Qantas Haneda Check-In Time?

    Travelled on QF80 last Thursday night on the 9:05pm flight. When we reached Haneda at 5:15pm, there were already lines of people checking in for both economy and business. I was surprised but looks like it's not 3 hours prior.

    30K Bonus Velocity Points or 250 Status Credits or $200 Coles Voucher with New Credit Card

    First part of your question - yes, I got my partner's credits Second part - I don't see why not as it's a different account and different person applying for the card

    Travelling MH from Sydney

    Yep ADL-KUL does not have the pre-order meal service but it was a pretty light load so I stuffed myself with satays, think I had 4 of each (chicken/beef) 😅
