I don't think this info is readily available as airlines change their planes according to their needs (for other aircraft breakdowns etc.)

Apple's international warranty is truly international. Even if you bought an original iPhone in the USA when they weren't sold in Australia, Apple Australia would arrange to have it fixed by sending it to a US repair centre and getting it back to Australia at no cost to you.

It depends. Which app is it?Expensive ($30+) GPS navigation apps where you have pre-purchased a country map should not need to stream map data off the internet, but the safest way to use them would be to put your phone into airplane mode to disable the possibility of it using data.The GPS positio...

Sorry if this sounds a bit clueless but what is the Red Door Lounge?

Downside of that, of course, is that your laptop does have to be connected to the Ethernet the whole time... I think the $149 investment in an Airport Express is pretty worth it for the everlasting convenience of having perfect reception Wi-Fi throughout the hotel room/suite :-)

I've never encountered a hotel that has been able to block travel routers. It'd require considerable effort on their part to do so without accidentally blocking other devices.The only info they get from the device connected to their Ethernet is a short string of numbers called a MAC ID -- it allo...

Hi Ben, absolutely -- and in fact we wrote an article about this recently. I personally use an Apple Airport Express, which works great -- you just have to remember to install the software on your computer before you set off on your trip, because you need it to set the router up when you get...

Agreed, Vaniggy, it seems to me that airlines should definitely offer the option of a refund if their flight departure is substantially delayed. It is, after all, a 'defective product' in my opinion. They do say in their contract "To the extent permitted by applicable laws", so they are obviously...

I put the question to Office of Fair Trading NSW, and a spokesperson responded (I have deleted some stuff that's completely irrelevant to your case):The Australian Consumer Law is a national law which commenced on 1 January 2011. The law initiated consumer guarantees applying to services.Services...

My worst experience was with a Virgin Blue flight attendant, who clicked her fingers in front of my face (about 5cm from my nose) because I wasn't paying sufficient attention to her safety demonstration (because of course, I don't know how to do up my seatbelt, or that the life jacket is under my...

What's the worst experience you've had with a flight attendant?

Rolling does seem to be more space-efficient than folding, for some reason.

Good point Kat. Also I recently downloaded the buUuk iPhone app which has a reasonably good database of restaurants, and you can view ones near you, sorted by rating. I think it's mostly covering the Asia-Pacific region though, not Europe or US.Of course, in Sydney and Melbourne there's also the ...

It takes a bit to get your head around Irene, especially the fact that an airline can "print points" as much as it likes -- but the thing is those points have to be able to turned back into tangible rewards; either flights or goodies like coffee machines etc.Also, bear in mind it's not just the a...

Kate, did the smartphone+SIM allow you to 'tether' it to your laptop for use within the destination country? If so, your management probably has a point -- though you could always say that the speed of the 3G network there was inadequate (as we know it often is in places like the US, where AT&...
