    Made any travel mistakes lately?

    I used to do a bit of dressmaking once upon a time. I had a garment carefully pinned together which somehow ended up in my carry on 😣. They let me keep the garment, but I had to remove every single pin! Imagine terrorising flight staff with a dressmaking pin 🤔

    $50 wine vouchers

    OK. I have sent you a message. Have you checked your private mail? It would be better to exchange voucher codes privately.

    Made any travel mistakes lately?

    Well I agree 12pm was confusing for me, and given that it was an expensive flight and a major inconvenience, I think they could have made it clearer. Why not use 24 hour time?

    You haven’t lived until…

    You haven't lived until... 1. Your driver on the Istanbul to Vienna bus stops in the middle of nowhere and says he's not going any further 2. Your taxi driver in Athens takes the 'scenic' route back to your hotel 3. The airline passenger beside you says 'Would you like my First Class upgrade? I...

    Made any travel mistakes lately?

    After years of travelling I made the ultimate mistake... I mistook my flight departure time and missed my Rome to Singapore flight with Singapore Airlines :( The flight time was listed as 12pm, I thought midnight. I think 1200 might have been clearer, I always get 12am/pm mixed up. Contacted SA...

    Your Oldest Travel Accessory

    My vintage Tumi carry-on trolley case. British racing green ballistic nylon, leather handles and leather name tag holder. Incredibly solid and well built. They don't build them like that anymore.

    ☹️ seat changed at checkin

    I have been going through email. They are proving very intransigent and unhelpful. What are the odds that they would not honour either reserved seat on 2 separate flights? No change of plane. Different seat numbers. Reserved seat on first flight occupied by someone else. 'Operational reasons'...

    ☹️ seat changed at checkin

    Turns out they have booted me out of my reserved seat for my return flight as well 🤯 Operational reasons AGAIN! They have found a seat that is not next to the toilets this time but not as good as my original. Their thinking seems to be that if I accept this new seat they shouldn't have to refund...

    ☹️ seat changed at checkin

    I recently had a similar experience with Singapore Airlines. Paid to select my seat 10 months before flight. Print my boarding pass and discover I've been moved to adjacent to toilets ☹️. 'Operational reasons' but plane was same and some 20 something in my seat. Now having to jump through hoops...

    Scoot Delays/Cancellations

    Thanks for the reply. Yes I was overreacting I think. It was the lack of history plus the poster who said the flight was often cancelled. You're correct it's a new schedule and the first few flights in April only have a small number of seats left so I think I'll be fine. False alarm!

    Scoot Delays/Cancellations

    Looking for some advice on an upcoming flight with Scoot; (aptly named?) TR 13 overnight flight SYD to SIN, seems to only fly on a Thursday. I'm concerned because they seem to have only sold 50 seats on a Dreamliner one month out from the flight. Tried to check flight history on the usual...

    Qantas Wine latest offering

    Qantas currently have a mixed case of Hewitson, Ned & Henry Shiraz and Miss Harry Grenache, for $198. I think Hewitson is a bit overpriced at RRP but the wines are elegant.

    Qantas Wine latest offering

    I rarely look at Qantas Wine as there are better deals to be had elsewhere... but had a browse yesterday and was pleased to find several of their Bethany offerings on sale. I can recommend the Bethany First Village Grenache, now cheaper than Grays, but ended up buying the First Village GSM with...
