Howdy all. Yeah, a bit of a rant today. My travel plans temporarily thrown up in the air with the news that SCOOT cancelled their flights from Singapore to Jaipur. My flight was booked for the 12th of March, which by a less than happy coincidence is the date from which going forward they will …
So after last week’s post about my frustrations with Qantas’s Frequent Flyer programme, I thought I’d write a post about earning and using frequent flyer points, because I do love to collect and use the points, even if sometimes there are headaches associated with the programs. Here in Australia Qantas probably is the program with …
As the year of 2017 is winding up, it is no surprise to anyone who knows me that I already have decided on my travel plans for next year. I’ll be writing more on those nearer the end of the year, but I have been doing a few bookings with frequent flyer points, and I …
Howdy all hope you’re well wherever you are in the world. Today’s airline review is based on my experiences flying Avianca, a Colombian based airline from Quito to Galapagos back in early October 2016. This flight was pretty exciting all told, because I was finally heading to Galapagos, one of the places I most dearly …
The biggest South American airline, I think I am right in saying, is LAN/LATAM, and I took numerous flights with them on my South American adventure.

After I started this series with an utter disaster where the most people died in a single crash in the history of aviation, today I wanted to give you the other side of the story. This is the Qantas flight that basically had an engine explode mid-flight after taking off from Singapore in a brand …

Okay. So I have a bit of a confession. Despite my love of travel, yet more to the point my fear of flying, I can't get enough of the TV series Air Crash Investigations. Recently I spent time binge watching episodes online, it has a certain mesmerising power over me. I can't stop watching despite …
Budget Airlines are an interesting kettle fish, are they not? Fifteen years ago I guess they started up, and today they are everywhere. They are great for the shortish haul flights more than anything. They can get you from A to B really cheaply – if you book on the right day, for the right …
