    When we flew Qatar to Milan, we were met by a representative at the carousel with apologies for our delayed luggage. On the spot 60 Euro each in hand for incidentals. Why dont all airlines do this?

    Japan trip - JR pass or not?

    I redeemed our JR online pass bookings at the Narita airport two days ago. The great people there booked 4 long distance sectors for us on the spot. We are making our way from Tokyo to Sapporo and return. Excellent service and with a smile. Any small cost savings are outweighed by the service.

    In Victoria add the compliance costs for checking gas and electrical circuits every 2 years then add the proposed insulation cost. I am getting out and the property will be redeveloped out of the reach of the rental market.

    Made any travel mistakes lately?

    When we visit each time Singapore we like to checkout all the recent MRT additions. One line crosses the centre of the island so we were going to do a bit of sightseeing. Blunder, totally underground.

    Bumped off oversold flight as a WP

    Recently waiting to board a flight Dallas to Vancouver. American Airlines had overbooked, admitted it over the PA and were offering a USD1000 voucher per passenger who would volunteer for a later fight. Makes local overloading incentives look miserable.

    Made any travel mistakes lately?

    The Plaza Premium was operating but my handful of credit cards didn’t get me in. We chose to suck it up and sit around for a change. Amazingly we survived. Now enjoying the F lounge at TBIT. Boring, but salt and pepper squid just now cured the damage.
