I usually manage to blag free flights, either stand by or sub load so I usually go on some circuitous route . Last time I was down under I flew Newcastle- Dubai-Singapore- Melbourne, no bother. Coming back they bumped me off in Singapore for a fare paying passenger, so I spent six nights dossing in Changi airport as I was to mean to buy a ticket, then I got to Dubai and had to spend a night in departures at DBX but they got me on a Newcastle flight the next day , longest trip I’ve ever done , over a week from Oz to Newcastle. I remember it well as I’m watching Scotland playing in the Euros right now and I watched the Euros in Changi twelve years ago ! To old for all that nonsense now. Cheers. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

pesky1972 5,364 Posted June 29, 2024 Report Share Posted June 29, 2024 If you like a Guinness and haven’t tried the nitrosurge, then make it a priority. Recommend cans in the fridge all day, and put a Guinness pint tumbler in the freezer. Makes a pretty decent pint. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
