Auckland Airport-city light rail train line to open in 2047
Mar 24, 2017, 07:33 PMDon't worry, rail to AKL will happen long before 2047. The only holdouts against it now are the current government's inner circle. (Rail to the airport is following the same pattern of denial, delay, arguing and then acceptance as the City Rail Link project did). Developments will be quick once t...

New Qantas, American Airlines baggage rules cause transit trauma
Aug 22, 2016, 01:54 PMThe airline won't care. They just send (or likely sell) the lost baggage.

Air Canada Brisbane-Vancouver direct non-stop Boeing 787 flights
Dec 21, 2015, 08:17 PMNice call FLX, even with the TBIT improvements LAX still has a long way to go. Let's not forget 3) Transfer between terminals generally involves (despite the terminal buildings between contiguous) going outside and walking some way, or catching the shuttle bus. Stepping outside into the heat, no...

Best Tokyo airport to fly into with Qantas
Aug 22, 2017, 03:09 PMAlso don't forget the Keikyu Line from Haneda. It runs directly to Shinagawa Station, which is a major rail hub at the south end of the Tokyo Yamanote (loop) line and has nice connections, including the Tokaido Shinkansen. Keikyu trains also run directly to Kawasaki and Yokohama.If your destinati...

Japan Trusted Traveller Program (TTP)
Mar 24, 2017, 08:57 PMBest of luck Sk4nder!The passport control delays at NRT have got worse and worse over the past few years in my experience, with luck you can get TTP registered and jump the queue. Real shame as travelling in Japan is always worth the wait... but even better if there is no wait :)

Things to stock up on trips to the USA
Dec 30, 2016, 06:46 PMExcedrin tablets.If you or someone you know is unfortunate enough to suffer from migraines, they are brilliant.Also second the clothes tips. Another of the many hidden delights of the U.S. is the way that retail bargains can be had in seemingly random regional locations. E.g. Zappos.com has a maj...

I used to like the way United connected in LAX to the US Eastern States.
May 06, 2016, 12:36 PMIf it's three hops, also consider MEL-AKL-IAH-CLE with the long leg on Air NZ.Not sure of the flight timings, but the good news is it minimises the time spent on US domestic carriers...

Air NZ have just let it be known they are finalising evaluations on two new i...
Nov 14, 2015, 08:30 PMVery interesting development. Sounds like Air NZ is going more for point-to-point (especially tourism) traffic on this route and not a tie-up with a local partner as with EZE, IAH, etc.I guess that's why they're using the leisure-oriented 763s rather than the newer aircraft (if they had any spare...
