Bugger!. I'll remember next time

When I was there in Mid Feb there were no MH limo transfers (I asked at checkin) Schlepped with the great unwashed to and in the bus. But now you asked, check the recent Piece by OMAAT

Won't make any difference if you have checked baggage. If no checked you can avoid the airport check in process. Of course you will miss out on getting the Express departure/arrival pass ticket out of and into Aus

Correct, the worst time to downsize is when the house is in poor repair.

Rumour? that Azerbaijan is putting its military on alert. it has a border with Iran to the north and a lot of commercial airlines between Europe and Asia overfly its airspace. QF has even diverted to Baku (its capital) on one or two occasions.

AFF is an expert thread 🤣

There is a $16500 fine in Australia (similar in other jurisdictions) for failing to comply with cabin crew instructions or endangering safety but I dont think anyone has ever been prosecuted by any jurisdiction for taking baggage down a evacuation slide. It is the one aspect of safety...

I dont think anyone is saying that iran offensive capabilities have been quashed, nor can that assessment be iron clad - the decisive point has not been reached as the US/Israel/others are still undertaking offensive operations. Importantly, the US/Israel/others have decided that they can now...

Sure, individual circumstances might make staying put making sense and I understand Emotional connections is a double edge sword. It can impose further costs and cause significant friction even with staying put. My point is that downsizing should not be off the table. There is a limited one...

Except the BUK missile is a short range missile maybe 50km. Iran's missiles/drones are standoff weapons against ground targets. Im not suggesting Iran would shoot down aircraft in -flight. Rather it is just aiming at airports possibly according to GPS targeting data. My issue with the ABC piece...

Assuming that Iran's radar systems are severely degraded as reported, how would Iran even confirm the position of the aircraft in-flight. Perhaps they are using Flightradar24?

I dont see the point in living in a 2 storey 4 bedroom house when there are only 2 people in it. I accept lots of permutations where in some cases it makes sense. While the interest is discounted (currently 3.96%), it would be borrowing to pay for the upkeep of the house + insurance etc. +...

Some info re ESWL Main point though is that it is an elective procedure, not a procedure to relieve acute kidney stone pain

No guarantee. People with scan positive for stone 24hrs prior to Op can have nothing found at Op

Not uncommon

I hope you can still do the Silver Whisper next year

That is correct Nh providers can operate outside of any Govt subsidy. But they are fully privately funded. I would not be surprised some of the rooms at Greenwich place is occupied by OAP only. Likely the $1M rooms.

Im a big cagey about the 787 along the remote Southern ocean routes to South Africa or South America

IMO No need to disembark while refuelling Passengers often board while refuelling takes place and Ive been on aircraft during unexpected refuelling stops. But there must be operational procedures to ensure safety during refuelling - like non smoking signs on (which are generally permanently on...

Bear in mind also the aged care costs. Nursing home placements require an upfront refundable accomodation deposit exceeding $900K in some parts of Sydney these days plus some means tested additional costs. Ive discussed it elsewhere. I would not be surprised it will soon hit $1M. The refundable...
