I quickly transferred through the airport and was soon at the taxi rank. I decided to take a taxi rather than Uber as some were at the rank. The strip is split into zones, and the Tropicana is in Zone 1, meaning a flat $19 fare plus tip. It’s about $7 more than an Uber,… Read More A Golden Trip Part 5 – What happens in Vegas…
This is a fairly short review, as it was a fairly unremarkable flight. We started off in the lounge, which was pretty much like all the other Qantas lounges. It has great runway views. Everyone seems to be doing ‘retro jets’ at the moment! Boarding was called and we were amongst the first on. The… Read More Review: Melbourne to Perth with Qantas in Business Class
The next leg of the trip, from Canberra to Melbourne, was the only leg of the trip we had not booked in a premium cabin. We were able to get two economy seats for 9000 Avios and £38 taxes. It didn’t seem worth it to spend double at the time of booking for a Business… Read More Review: Canberra to Melbourne on Qantas Economy Class

I realise that it has been a long time since I have posted; this is only the 3rd post of the year. I have a list in the Drafts section that keeps growing, including a hotel review from somewhere I stayed in over a year ago! I need to crack on with it. I am… Read More Easter Trip to Australia
I like the ease and simplicity of a dedicated terminal like Heathrow’s T5, JFK’s T8 or Madrid’s T4 where most, if not all, of the flights leaving are from the same airline; it makes thing very simple, especially if it is your ‘home’ airport like Heathrow is for me. At Heathrow T5 there are four… Read More Lounge Review: Heathrow Terminal 3 Lounge comparison – Cathay Pacific / Qantas / American / British Airways
