The Peninsula London is officially open for indulgence
Jan 27, 2023, 01:21 PMI've walked past the Peninsula in Hong Kong many times over the years and wistfully though how nice it would be to stay there. If only I could win Lotto and experience these hotels along with Raffles in Singapore, just once in my life! But my long distance travel time is running out n...

New Sydney Airport scanners let you leave laptops, liquids in your bag
Aug 06, 2022, 07:32 PMMuch of the screening nonsense could be avoided by:1. Having more staff on duty2. Training staff how to use the equipment, and making sure it is calibrated properly. There should be international standards for this, so that what passes in one airport is not rejected at another. That j...

Eurostar to launch high-speed trains between London and Germany
May 16, 2022, 07:57 PMIndeed it would. I did Berlin to London back in 2018. Left Berlin at 7am and arrived in London at 4pm. Took three trains with changes in Cologne and Brussels. It was a long day and I still had to get across London on the underground to Waterloo and out to Walton-on-Thames,...

Qantas locks in domestic fleet order for Airbus A321XLR, A220 jets
May 02, 2022, 01:14 PMAll very nice I'm sure, but I'll bet any money there will be no extra leg room, and cattle class will still be a trial not to be endured. I'll stick with Economy X on Virgin thank you. It will be a golden opportunity to provide a whole new customer cetric service offering, but knowing...

Qantas A380 refurb schedule
Jul 03, 2019, 04:13 PMOriginally Posted by FlyingKangaroo Though a bit dated, the PE seat itself on the current A380 is the best I've experienced comfort wise.

Jun 26, 2019, 04:05 PMAm flying PE MEL-SIN mid October this year. Just keeping my fingers crossed that I don't get the refurbed plane with the new awful PE seats. Thankfully the remainder of my journey to Europe is on Singapore in PE and home on Qatar in Business. Haven't flown on Qantas for donkey's years and not ...

Pyjamas on SYD-LAX and SYD-SFO United 'Polaris' Business
Oct 19, 2018, 01:50 PMOriginally Posted by BevanMcBevan (Re Qatar), Really. They're that good? Are they doing this ex SYD? Have to agree. I flew Tegel to Doha a few weeks ago, and even though only a five hour flight we got pjamas. Very comfortable. Stupidly, I packed them in my checkin bag in Singapore, forgetting...

Virgin High Flyer CC - Just what is a Government Transaction?
Aug 30, 2017, 05:19 PMOriginally Posted by brinkers : The problem, as the T&Cs indicate, is that how merchants are classified is set by the merchant or the merchants bank. It does seem strange that Air Asia X would fall under this umbrella, but they were originally government owned (some time ago now) Not ow...
