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…

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".
