I got this ,message from Vietnam Airlines today. It may be of some interest to those doing internal flights. "Vietnam Airlines would like to send you our sincere thanks for your trust and support over the years. To offer more choices to our passengers, we are pleased to announce a new product...

Singapore is not always fast. On our last arrival at Changi, on QF71 ex Perth, the luggage took close to 30 minutes to appear. But the airport sent someone out with bottles of water and a little bag of nibbles because of the wait.

I tend to agree with your views on aircraft breakfasts. The best one I had was Sin - Per using BTC with an excellent mutton biryani.

It was US$25 for me - so A$40 same as you I would think.

Thanks - $25 a year for me now as well.

Thanks for the info. Worked fine for me.

There have been rave reviews of Audra McDonald as Rose in Gypsy in the NY Times

Yes in 1976. Drove from Austria via Zagreb, Belgrade & Skopje to Greece. After Greece we skirted around Albania and then drove along the coast stopping at Split and some other places (?) to enter Italy near Trieste. No problems with getting a visa on the border and the roads were reasonable if...

From the ABC news site - "The Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) has just released new information revealing the flight crew observed a high exhaust gas temperature indication from the aircraft's right engine. The ATSB said the rejected take-off was conducted in line with standard...

It was a lovely evening in Perth so we had a takeaway meal on the banks of the Swan River and then had a walk to look at the new Boorloo Bridge. It is a pedestrian/cyclist bridge that was opened just before Christmas. In daylight it doesn't look all that exciting. It was sunset so the lights...

WikiTravel says (Obviously other airlines than Lufthansa also offer the Rail&Fly ticket but this was the example given. I am, not sure how up to date the quoted pricesa re)- "Rail&Fly If you are flying internationally on Lufthansa into or out of an airport in Germany, you can pay EUR 30 (2nd...

Very envious. You are obviously having a great time. The only thing that seemed to be missing from the Mission Control Room was the pall of cigarette smoke - but at least they had the full ashtrays:)

More thanks for an excellent TR with lots of detailed commentary. I think that we were lucky to get Salzburg in snow. But then again we experienced DB at its worst. So swings and roundabouts. As Syd said, packing for snow and heat must have be a nuisance.

And in a nice piece of coincidence you posted a photo of the nose of a Monarch Airline s plane used as advertising at Manchester Airport. During the late 1960's/early 1970's Monarch Airlines flew charter flights, using Bristol Britannia's from the UK to South Australia bringing British...

Like a number on here - Russia and specifically St Petersburg. Either via a Baltic cruise or the Volga River cruise from Moscow. We were actually booked to spend a couple of days in Moscow in 1976. It was part of a Ship/Jet trip to London. The Moscow stopover was cancelled due to a claimed lack...

No reason was given just a bland statement after I had paid for the stopover.. I sent an e-mail with our flight details again and said that we should be eligible. Then all of a sudden we were eligible again. I just put it down to the oft complained about QR on-ground services.

We used it in 2018 for 2 nights and got a very nice hotel. The only problem was that initially QR said we weren't entitled to use it but after a couple of e-mails they agreed that we were. So a litle clumsy dealing with the QR back office, as many others have found, but good value. We stayed at...

Thanks for a very interesting and informative TR.

Thanks for the photos and commentary. It seems to have been a mixture of good and bad on you holiday. I don't think that I would enjoy being in a car being 'beaten' by protestors. My left eye also barely works so I understand your feelings about driving left hand drive vehicles. Even though I...

Once again thanks for all the details about Etihad and the peculiarities of the Abu Dhabi Terminal. The bit about the smoking lounge was very useful as my wife is very sensitive to cigarette smoke. It will be bad enough in Germany and France next May but to also have the problem in the J Lounge...
