Hi all! Following on from last week's 'Top Posts' I thought I'd look at some of my most popular flight reviews this week! SCOOT This one is my single most popular flight review. Well, it has had the most reviews and this was done around 2 years ago now. I'd had a bad booking experience …
A Hop, Skip and a Jump – Vlog Singapore, KL & Almaty!
Dear readers, and indeed viewers, the time has come to present my first VLOG from my last trip, and indeed this one takes in the first three days of my 2019 adventure starting on October 27th. It's been ... a process, shall we say? Not one that's been easy, and I still have a lot …

The Long Journey Home…
Well yes. I am home, safely in Melbourne now after a somewhat long journey from Lisbon which involved three flights with Emirates and Qantas.

Airline Review – Tiger Air
Melbourne to Cairns Return. Months ago now I booked tickets with Tiger Air to head to Cairns this July. The principal reason was actually to see a football game, but I took four nights as it’s the middle of winter and Cairns is in the tropical north of Australia and it would serve as a …
