QF80, recently. I was ready to talk cough about the chicken but man it was actually really good, not dry at all. The soup is actually my new entre of choice for the evening flight back, just a shame they don't have garlic bread :(

60/10k on both accounts this time, easy

I'm here right now and we had snow in Osaka the other day.. it's super cold this year all over the place!

Having flown both plenty of times, JAL is better than Qantas for sure, suppose it depends on when you need to be there?

I did notice this card payment a few times recently too, in Tokyo as well but can't recall which lines it was on. Could be right about the non JR though

Trip looks great. You may not care but that exchange rate is pretty bad and you can get cash out from regular ATMs for cheaper. I use bankwest card specifically for doing that as it cancels the exchange rate fee. Also @rbjhan (or anyone else that may benefit from the info) it is possible to...

Shot I got from the Shinkansen earlier in the year

QF158 AKL>MEL - Had a Cannelloni, again put my extra vegs in there and mixed it around. It was OK, but was only a little hungry still as I'd loaded up at the Emirates lounge prior which blew the nuts off the revamped Qantas lounge... that seemed the same as it was before basically.

QF151 MEL>AKL. Breakfast. This is bacon and egg thing with other things. The bacon was decent, egg not sure if it had any egg actually in it and that little cake on the left I'm also not sure what it was. Watermelon was nice though but not disappointed I ate in the lounge.

Also forgot about this but recently went to train museum in Kyoto and can thoroughly recommend if you're in the area.. and there were hardly any tourists!

100 points, better than nothin

My most recent trip the other week I loaded up a train card and used it to pay with a bunch of stuff too as another alternative

Here's a weird one. I had a 10% off coles over $50 on one of the accounts when you scan at checkout but I did that and it mentions it should pop up to accept but nothing appeared? Any thoughts on what's missing? Self checkout and activated in the app. I noticed it does say if you do an online...

QF169 MEL -> CHC. I can't remember specifically what it was but looks like chicken curry of sorts, was OK from memory. I do like the little salad with the meat though, good to put that meat on crackers after. QF170 CHC -> MEL. Rolled the dice and went for some kind of beef covered in pesto (I...

QF79 26/11. Didn't get a photo of the bento box starter, usual stuff but it had some terribly dry chicken in there too. Actually regret the Japanese choice this time as the beef was fairly average. Prawn dish later in the flight was decent enough though. QF80 2/12 - I went for the western...

When I go there (a few times a year) I usually use ATM to get cash out using a card with no fees (bankwest currently). Then you can just load the cash onto train card and use that like a normal bank card. Many places in Japan do not accept touch payment but usually credit cards are no issue...

Man those Kyoto photos with all the people.. not nice! Interestingly I was just in Kyoto a few days ago (but not in any tourist areas) and it was really quite nice when you don't do the main tourist things

Yeah have one for business one for personal, different point programs

Awesome, I'm on that flight Tuesday. Looks like Japanese side at least hasn't changed since last year 1732437366 Ohh interesting, will be sampling on the way back (presuming QF80 changes too?)

Oh yeah you learn very quickly if your shoes are up to the task, great photos !
