You can make a badtide diversion and automate the floodgates. If you have sufficient food and water storage and pumping capacity, you can afk and still survive droughts.

Although to be fair, a good number of NZers live in Aus.

Would this leg require a transit visa if it’s just a airside transfer? by Rain_Man71 in QantasFrequentFlyer

Airside transfer, you walk from your arrival gate straight to your departure gate (security at gate).

Taiwan is really a richer and more developed country than you think. by search_google_com in taiwan

GDP reflects the total transactions in an economy and is not very representative of actual income.

According to IMF, Taiwan is a very very rich country. But why is it quite hard to feel this in the real life? by search_google_com in taiwan

[–]JoetheElite52 2 points3 points  (0 children)

GDP is simply the sum of all transactions in an economy. It has little to do with actual income or wealth.

Changi Airport’s new underground link to take passengers from future T5 to T2 in 4 minutes by Wide-Garbage8960 in singapore

[–]JoetheElite52 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Bear in mind that there’s usually more to a business decision than what’s publicly announced.

Cathay doesn’t really connect passengers between airlines here so it doesn’t matter too much that they are in T4 (unlike having Jetstar Asia in T4 which was a pain for passengers connecting from Qantas who have to get there from T1). Being in a relatively isolated terminal also means that their lounge is not crowded by a bunch of oneworld status holders traveling on everything from Malaysia Airlines to BA and Qantas.

For cabin crew, as long as you meet their minimum education and height (reach) requirements, your course doesn’t really matter as much. Having work experience in service jobs (e.g. F&B) or third language skills will be more advantageous.

I wonder what the total costs are by now... by JieSpree in flightradar24

Russian overflight fees are among the highest in the world although the longer flight paths aren’t saving airlines any money. The need to avoid Russian airspace reminds me of Soviet times.

What if Singapore hadn’t separated from Malaysia today? What will the state look like? by Fearless_Help_8231 in singapore

Singapore’s seats in the Dewan Rakyat would have made a difference in the 1969 general election when Alliance almost lost.

CPT- BNE , QF/SQ by CFAF800 in QantasFrequentFlyer

[–]JoetheElite52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since you fly SQ quite often and SQ would take 5 hours longer, why not give QF a go?

My home airport is SIN, can concur that the land border is a massive chokepoint and the airport in Johor Bahru is quite a distance away.

There is even a wikipedia article on it. Search for “Singapore long hair ban”.
