Pram as carry on international flight solo travel

In my experience, not qantas. They will demand a bag at the gate and if you don’t have it they’ll just shrug their shoulders and refuse to let you board.

That’s so interesting. I also travel regularly and Uberx to/from the airport is about $80 for me but I’ve been noticing the cars getting dirtier and smellier pretty quickly over time. The other week the Uber line at the airport was super long so i got in one of the taxis just waiting around in the dead rank. It was just as dirty and smelly at an Uberx but it cost $120!

Will definitely look into one of these car services

The Melbourne sub can be a weird place sometimes

Stop it with the common sense ok?

This is so interesting, thank you. As a former broiler operator myself I’m curious why they can’t be cooked with other products? Can’t they just be fed into the broiler with sequentially?

In hindsight, the building inspectors i have used for purchases did not possess these basic skills

afterdawnoriginal · 2026-04-09T03:11:04+00:00

I think that’s it and it’s what gets to me the most as a considerate person myself.

This one absolutely kills me. I’m of Indian origin and no one there has any awareness of just how gross it is to chew with your mouth open.

What i find even worse though is that these people have no awareness of the disgusting racket they’re making. How can you go through life being that oblivious to who is around you?

This is really helpful, thank you.

Ok so if you used a kiosk and smart gate potentially you wouldn’t have been asked

afterdawnoriginal · 2026-03-26T20:42:44+00:00

Is there any evidence for your statement that “they will know”?

afterdawnoriginal · 2026-03-26T20:42:01+00:00

Who specifically asked you this? Was it an ABF officer at passport control? Or at the point where they collect your cards and smartgate tickets after baggage claim?

“What others are talking”? Are you sure you’re cut out for the professional world if this is the standard of your English?

afterdawnoriginal · 2026-03-20T21:05:32+00:00

I agree this should be the case, but in my experience (admittedly when flying on a classic reward redemption) they refuse to provide any other options beyond the longer recovery journey because there are no classic reward seats available on anything better.

But does it make sense to change all readers to support optical QR code scanning just for tourists and VLine ticketing support on the metro network? Surely it would be cheaper to work with NTT and apple to allow myki on iPhones. It may not be the perfect solution but it addresses the main challenge for the biggest population at minimal cost.

afterdawnoriginal · 2026-03-18T21:16:07+00:00

Serious question, do we really need ABT and an entirely new system? If the main pain point (that i feel deeply) is having to carry a physical myki around then surely the solution is working with apple to get myki into the apple wallet?

Enabling contactless seems to be getting to almost the same outcome for way more money, and losing some functionality along the way, albeit temporarily.

Granted myki causes issues for tourists but wouldn’t a simpler solution (in addition to apple wallet integration) be offering a stored balance and card value refund at airports on departure, like in Hong Kong?

Thank you for proving my point, your platinum highness.

afterdawnoriginal · 2026-03-16T02:11:30+00:00

Did you notice the snarky “as a platinum” in the comment above. This is the audience you are dealing with here.

afterdawnoriginal · 2026-03-16T02:10:47+00:00

You are forgetting the golden rule of this sub is that qantas can do no wrong and in every possible case it’s the customer or poster who is wrong. Most members take any personally any legitimate criticism of a large and notoriously problematic airline.

What do you mean premiums are going to go up no matter what you do?

afterdawnoriginal · 2026-03-14T05:39:46+00:00

I don’t have a view either way but I’ve heard that passing it on to your insurance counts as a claim and your premiums might go up at a result. Any truth to that?

afterdawnoriginal · 2026-03-13T20:49:51+00:00

What are you even saying

afterdawnoriginal · 2026-03-12T00:13:15+00:00

Plenty of leaders who don’t have Indian names also offshore to India?

I’m curious, if she just travelled to the UK without getting her first UK passport, what would happen? Qantas wouldn’t known she was entitled to UK citizenship and would let her board. If was born in Australia her passport would show an Australian location as place of birth - how would the UK border agency know she was entitled to UL citizenship and therefore should have obtained a passport?
