    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...

    Qantas Flight Attendant Wore Palestinian Flag Pin on Their Uniform

    Depending on your political views you may have been offended... but intimidated? By an FA on a Qantas flight? That's a bit precious.

    Qatar Airways status match to Virgin Australia

    I received an email this morning confirming the status extension to 31 March. Nice, but I don't need it until May, so looks like I may just miss out... I guess its low odds they'll extend beyond March.

    What scares you about travel?

    I'm still busy travelling solo at 69, female. I love the freedom of doing my own thing and discovering new experiences. I'm very organised and cautious so seldom fearful as I will have planned everything. Don't care for particularly lawless places, but do love the US which can be stressful...

    Travel plans 2024

    I'm excited to be going to Italy next year! I love Italy and it's been a long time. Doing a circuit of the south... Rome, Naples, Amalfi Coast, Sicily then across to Puglia and back to Rome. I grabbed some great fares on Singapore Airlines so looking forward to comfortable flying. Stopping over...

    Luxe stay in Sydney

    Would also recommend Pier One or Ovolo. A little out of CBD but apart from a few pockets, Sydney's CBD is dead outside business hours. Ovolo at Woolloomooloo has Potts Point with many good restaurants on one side, Mrs Macquaries Chair, Art Gallery of NSW, Boy Charlton Pool, Botanic Gardens on...
