    I Have Five Days In Egypt - What Do I Do?

    Thanks. Uber and Grab are different in all countries - you need that local knowledge. Even different between Qantas and Virgin in Sydney, I may book a Hotel car - easier.

    I Have Five Days In Egypt - What Do I Do?

    Well noted. Wits are required everywhere in the world. Yes, definitely on the list. I am sure it's well worth the wait. I hadn't come across these so thanks - on the list. As always. A good guide is invaluable, I'll look at some plans for this before I head off. Is there a particular...

    For New Year's Eve Fireworks, how does Garden's by the Bay compare with Sydney Harbour

    I missed both this year, but as an ex-Kirribilli Avenue resident, Sydney will be hard to beat.

    Thanks, Roo Flyer. I will look at your TR. Have you ever headed towards the Gulf of Suez or Ain Sukhna?

    Why Early Checkin for MAS at SIN Doesn't work for Me (& Other Foreigners)

    After two failed attempts at early check-in SIN for MAS, I have worked out why it doesn't work (for me), and it makes perfect sense. What doesn't make sense is why MAS doesn't tell you why it doesn't work. As a non-Malaysian passport holder, I require evidence of an onward ticket on that...

    Fiji Airways Bula Bid upgrade

    If I am offered a bid, I always bid low because they want to offload the seat. A higher bid than the lowest means you're possibly just bidding against yourself.

    High Court reveals every current judge is a member of Qantas' Chairman's Lounge

    Well penned, IrishPete. The perception of independence and objectivity is often viewed with greater weight than the actual presence of these qualities, to importantly maintain trust, in this case, in our judicial system. On perception alone, any competent judicial official ought not to be...

    I Have Five Days In Egypt - What Do I Do?

    Hi, I am trying out the venerated Al Safwa Lounge in DOH - then heading to Egypt. I have never been to Egypt before, and I would be interested in any advice for this first-time traveller. First night I will stay at the InterCon Semiramis in Cairo and open after that. Thanks Spruce.

    Fiji Airways Bula Bid upgrade

    My view is they're both day flights and if you get a shadow then that would suffice (for me). I paid $A1k to UG on a daylight from SIN-MEL on TK and felt that was reasonable value on a 359. FJ361 is an older 332, albeit a longer flight, but at $1.5k it is very much borderline territory and would...
