    Malaysia is pretty strict on bringing booze in as well ... all the suitcases seemed to get x-rayed. We got fined for an extra bottle of spirits.. They aren't daft though they have a duty free shop just as you pick your case up in Penang , must catch a few first timers that way. I take it the...

    Yea,some of that to do with airport passenger duty in the uk esp in the higher seating classes of J( business) and W( premium). For instance J class tax from Man to Hkg is £257 and on the return flight its £34.70.Not the same as your savings but still a large difference . As you say could and...

    Hotel was great, couple of restaurants and bars round its location but not that much really . Easy to get to town centre tho using grab for dragon bridge etc and close to marble mountains. Not a great lover of heights so didnt do the Golden Bridge. Pretty sure we just used a taxi to get to Hoi Ann

    We stayed at the Pullman in My An ... fantastic beach. We used to get a grab scooter into town, one occasion hers got a flat so it ended up with three of us on one bike which to be honest is pretty much average there. Thought Nha Trang had the best beach vibe/resort feel out of the places I had...

We were in Da Nang in June and it was scorchio, we planned all our trips early morning or it gets unbearable . Always wished I would have...

    However on the flip side Frankfurt has to be one of the worst airports I have had the misfortune to travel through recently on a few occasions and I have vowed never to transfer through there again ,but maybe this should be in the worst airport or Brexit thread :-)

    South Korean aircrash

    My limited understanding Hudson with no engine power and limited services had no option but to ditch as he would never had got back anyway. Korean is different as he was lined up on the runway. As stated hopefully wasn't pilot overload, but if it was, its very understandable. but there's is...
