Thanks, Vantage03. I hadn't realized that the extensive LH range was so recent. And as my routes never include USA or Japan, I certainly wouldn't have thought of using UA or NH. So, just as an experiment, I tried my itinerary on each. At UA I couldn't set my return further ahead than...

I do think SQ let themselves down in not showing any *A flights even for multi-city paid bookings, whereas Lufthansa, for example, will show many options. With the current waiting time to get through to the KF phone line to find the full price for a an SQ flight with a simple add-on, such as...

No reply when I tacked this query on the end of another thread, so I'm asking again here. I wanted a (paid) PE booking MEL-IST in June next year. MEL-SIN was fine, but there is no PE on the SIN-IST flight, so I was booked into Y. Now I have enough points to upgrade that to J, but was told I...

Wanted a PE booking MEL-IST in June next year. MEL-SIN was fine, but there is no PE on the SIN-IST flight, so I was booked into Y. Now I have enough points to upgrade that to J, but was told I have to waitlist. Yet when I search for that flight I see that J seats are available, with no "only x...

A little late to ask this, but did you need to get a visa for Turkey when you were just briefly in transit at IST?

Can't get that link to work. But I'm interested as I am close to using points to upgrade from Y to J on a SQ SIN-IST flight next year on a plane that has no PE, whereas the rest of my open-jaw return booking is all on PE.

Certainly not. We 'affected ones' are normal. You 'afflicted ones' are not.

You need to be aware that public transport is minimal on 25 December and still much reduced on 26 December Public Transport in London at Christmas Taxis will be scarce and more expensive that usual. SQ flights ex-Australia on 25 December tend to be full of people going only as far as some place...

Not for me either, though I've used it regularly and recently. Vaguely recall an email earlier this month saying "Use your card as much as possible this month as good things [unspecified] are on their way next month." Actually I was hoping for a repeat of that offer a few years back when any...

Planning a Europe trip? The airlines that are in financial trouble — in one chart To me Turkish is a surprise. And I 'm hoping Aegean will pull through as I'm depending on it to get me from TBS to BOD in July nest year.

The only person I know personally who does this is a rather tense and 'uptight' person. Does that fit ? And how can it be cured?

My question to the compulsive leg shakers is: are you aware that you are doing it? And is it something you can stop doing if you wish? I always seem to have one sitting me near me on the tram: I stare hard and sometimes they stop for a little while and then start up again. Initially I thought it...

Actually I did glance at the flight information display as we entered the terminal from the bus, but I now realize it was showing only Lufthansa flights. I did think it odd that the departure time shown for Singapore was 5 minutes earlier than I expected, and it crossed my mind that it might...

I missed an SQ flight at FRA because of a delayed LH connection and I did have checked baggage. It was checked in by LH at TLS (Toulouse) and ticket all the way through to MEL via SIN on SQ flights. Maybe it caught the next available SQ flights as I did, as it was on the correct carousel when I...

Thanks for the endorsement, bigpetebrown. My current carry-on is also an Antler (the Urbaite trolley backpack, bought in the UK). I've had it for several years and used to switch it to a backpack when confronted with many stairs. But I've noticed that the last couple of years I haven't used it...

Many thanks for the feedback, Denali and Andy. I don't travel to or through the States, but I do sometimes load up to 10kg and check in on the return journey from Europe on SQ. Being short I tend to use the shorter handle extension on my current 2-wheeler, which probably puts less strain on it...

What are people's s experiences with the Samsonite 72 hrs DLX 50" 2-wheel cabin bag? It's currently available in Australia at 2 price points, $89 and $179. I was able to see the more expensive one at a luggage shop and was told it was an improved version, using thicker material and slightly...

I have twice now had small packets that required a signature go directly to my nearest post office with no card being left, nor any reminder card a week later, as is supposed to happen. In one case a packet with French train tickets & accommodation vouchers was returned to the sender in the UK...

I hope it won't lead to more confusion such as I experienced at FRA recently. My LH TLS-FRA flight was delayed by fog.Cabin crew were advising connecting passengers which gate to go to. I showed my boarding pass issued by LH at TLS for the SQ FRA-SIN 22.05 flight and was told "Your gate has...

How long not used will trigger 'unused mode'?
