  • While I've never flown UL and therefore can't comment on their product, I'm of the view that you can do a lot worse than MH: that is, as long as you're not on one of their ghastly India to KUL red-eye flights on 73H equipment, which are for some of their routes their only service; the seat is ade...

  • Wait, people actually use the Q bag tags to check bags in and not just as status-flashing ornamentation on their backpacks and briefcases?

  • Both boarding passes will be issued in Sydney; bags will be checked through to Hong Kong. On arrival in Brisbane, proceed directly to the terminal transfer bus and present your boarding pass; this bus service is free of charge, and is a relatively short run, so you will have enough time to get to...

  • As a child, every one of my strollers (bar one) was broken by SQ. While I do feel it is unfortunate and agree it is not a good look, I cannot say that I am surprised by what has happened to you.
