It’s a mad rush from my WestJet flight, which arrived 20 minutes early only to wait 40 minutes for a gate, from Terminal 2 to Terminal 6 at Los Angeles International Airport. Its the last flight of the night departing at 11:00pm. I don’t want to get stuck, sure the airline may pay for my…

Salon iCare Airport Lounge – Charles De Gaulle Airport, Paris
For someone that adores travel and loves flying, I’ve started to dislike airports, obviously not the plane spotting part, and I respect the security aspect but its the crowds, the kids, the people who suddenly have this dumbness about them, mostly though, it’s the inflated prices for food and drink.

Air Berlin – Berlin to Krakow – Dash8-Q400
With Air Berlin being in the news lately after filing for insolvency amid rumors of it being broken up and parts of the airline sold off to cover debts, I wanted to share with you my review of a flight I took with the airline recently, before they are no more. Air Berlin is Germany’s…
FreakyFlier Travel Hacks – The Quick (and Cheap) Way From Bangkok Airport To Bangkok City.
Bangkok traffic can be horrendous during peak hour with it taking up to almost 2 hours to drive from Suvarnabhumi Airport to the city centre. I discovered the quickest and the cheapest way was the Airport Link, taking around 40 minutes at a cost of 45 Baht – yes thats just over $1.70 Aussie bucks…
Jetstar Asia. Bangkok to Singapore With a Meal.
“The choices today are Black Pepper and Chicken Rice?” “Yes please” “Which would you like?” “Oh sorry, I thought it was the same thing, I’ll have the Chicken Rice” I misunderstood and thought it was one dish but the hot meal choices today were Black Pepper Chicken or Chicken Rice. I’ve reviewed Jetstar and Jetstar Asia…
Thai Airways. Chiang Mai to Bangkok (Suvarnabhumi). Airbus A330-300. Economy Class.
Low cost carriers may not always have the lowest fare. A few days prior to leaving Chiang Mai for Bangkok I found a super cheap fare on Thai Airways. Originally I was going to take the overnight train, in a sleeper just for the experience of mixing with the locals and seeing the countryside. Taking…

Travelling from the major tourist resort city of Phuket located in the South of Thailand to the Jungle city of Chiang Mai in the north of the country could take up to 3 days by land (thats ferry, bus and train, all three at least!). Low cost carrier, Thai Air Asia, part of the Air…
Singapore: 24 hours with a budget of AU$200.
I was stopping in Singapore for just over 24 hours and my budget was AU$200. Thats two hundred dollars – for everything – transport, accommodation, food, drinks and sightseeing. I knew it wasn’t going to be flashy, but I wasn’t about to be trudging around in the tropical heat, living off pot noodles and drinking tap water….
Happy New Year 2017 – Where are you travelling to?

Trip Notes: Jetstar JQ605 Sydney to Melbourne Avalon
Not so long ago I took a trip to sunny Melbourne flying Jetstar from Sydney to Avalon Airport located 55 kilometres south of the city. I’ve reviewed Jetstar’s services before which you can read here so I won’t go into the flight experience except to say, on the uneventful 1hr 35min journey I had that…
