Yes. Aussie summers at its peak is just hot. Japanese summers is perpetually humid and hot. Its like being in South East Asia with…

APA as a hotel chain is reasonably solid. They're clean ok priced and literally everywhere. It's like booking ibis budget. You expect…

Was that tea place in Hangzhou? (Longjing) I remember going on such a Tour a decade ago and honestly had one of the best teas I've ever had.

Yes but the furtherest they fly is Tokyo HND from CNS which will cease soonish. After that it's just Bali, cross continent and over the…

Not as simple as that. QF Group (under JQ) applied for the remaining slots on offer for regional airports. JQs proposal is ADL - PER - DPS…

Its still way ahead of what we were even a few months ago.

High season. Aussie holidays and ski season for Japan.

Look at Cathay. Not direct but sub $1000.

China has a long history and lots of places to see. The problem is that it's nowhere near as western tourist friendly as Japan is. From…

Cathay only has a couple of flights a fay into HND, majority is to NRT so pdople would need to be careful. Also CX flies NRT > TPE so you…

Qantas doesn't. And right now for some of the time periods QF is cheaper than JQ

I've been playing ffxiv on high on a 680M with no problems. There's a lot of games that the 780M would handle without breaking a sweat…

I think the sarcastic point was that none do. If you try thr LCC option, you'd likely face equally long travel lengths if not longer as…

It was possible to purchase OTC for a brief period of time (stopped in Oct last year) for the all purpose JR pass. Some regional are still…

Some are available.

When you have complex itineries. You should see how long the QF lines were last week during their Double status offer with people booking…

Economy redemption are "ok" value on Qantas metal. The real value is and has always been business class and above. There are some economy…

That reads like emirates or another partner flight. QF's own metal tend not to have $1000 taxes. Emirates however are notorious for taxes…

Next month? No major releases will occur but you can find sporadic a availablity. I picked up mine in November for ens of march return.

Probably should stop memeing/regurgitating as most people (myself included) review Jetstar to be much better than scoot let alone QF.

Younger airframe doesn't mean younger interior. All of QF's interior were refurbished after Jetstar's planes and from that perspective can…

Cathay has loads of flights everyday to tokyo. I'm surprised you didn't just have a quick connection and end up at tokyo. Whilst I don't…

Isn't it thr opposite and generally better to fly through Cathay to other destinations as Cathay flies to a lot of other airports besides…

I had a third of a JAL 787 to myself in Aug 2022 before JP opened back up to tourist. Never had so much room on a plane before.

Budget and onsen with kaiseki generally aren't words that go together. It'll be 15k-20k minimum for the "cheaper places".

I didn't want to post as a main bargain post, but if you literally bought every point with the best wine deal today, this would cost about…

Budget is the biggest thing. Without the context of that it's hard to recommend. Are you being value spenders or do you need a certain…

Does half work trips count where i tack on a few day?

Depending on when you can renew and how long you can freely hold off paying the fine (or get it waived due to good behaviour), you can…

There's a huge wealth of resources about Japan these days. I would highly recommend looking various things up that are relevant to your…
