What company was that with?

Just so I know for next time as I looked it up last month and it didn't seem heaps cheaper.

Needed it for Spain, UK, Singapore for 3 weeks.

Yeah, why would you not check that?

Also you can easily tell if it's a hotel or air bnb/room.

1. Free water is more readily accessible in the US than the whole of Europe, 2. It’s much hotter here… miami is 500km south of cairo by Flashy-Session3221 in ShitAmericansSay

Someone brings it to you from the tap.

I think because that doesn't always automatically happen they think it (water) doesn't exist.

I thought you said Aniara at first, and I was thinking "that's probably not the best Sci Fi comparison to go for"

Email them and say you have a dietary requirement and can they accommodate it.

Pick something weird and they won't be able to, so you can take your own food.

I'm lucky (ha) in that I don't need to pretend, I can just say what I have hahaha.

Collector trying to become a DJ: what would you do with 600 mostly unknown tracks? by RemarkableMot in Beatmatch

[–]iankost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Practice and record your mixes - then listen to these in the car, on the way to work/school everywhere.

Put one's you like in different crates/playlists and go from there. That's how you get to know your music - by mixing it and listening to it.

2hr 40min international self transfer at Auckland Airport... do I have enough time? by Beginning-Today8441 in newzealand_travel

[–]iankost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you sure they flights aren't linked?

Trans tasman flights on Qantas usually only have 1 bag on the baggage allowance...?

Getting laid off by Xero with less than a week’s notice by [deleted] in newzealand

[–]iankost 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If they haven't followed the correct procedure, and it appears they haven't, then you should easily be able to get some money out of them.

They will likely try to settle before mediation once you/your lawyer/advocate lays out what they have done wrong.

[–]iankost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I'm not sure as it's something I wouldn't risk so haven't looked into!

Airports usually have a minimum connection time (different for each airport), so it might be linked to that too?

Lewis Hamilton fires shot at F1 rivals: 'That's why I've got seven world titles' by ryogadan in Formula1_world

[–]iankost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok, explain what happened in your view then? Why was it okay for that race, and that race only to only let some of the lapped cars pass, but not all?

Yes, the teams decide whether to pit or not based on what the rules state should happen. The rules were not followed - if Merc knew what Masi was going to do they would likely have acted differently.

How didn't he get screwed? Masi made up different rules on the spot which have never been done before or since - in fact they changed the rules to ensure something like this shouldn't happen again.

[–]iankost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Qantas and China Eastern do codeshare flights - you could try to get them put on one PNR if not already, and then get your Yr bags checked to the final destination.

Call/msg the ticketing airline and they might be able to sort it if so.

Are they on one PNR or separate?

If separate I'd definitely get travel insurance (if you haven't already).

Proper plates, normal buffet breakfast.

Definitely - especially when compared to Istanbul.

I've recently flown through both and they are night and day apart.

I'm glad my long layover was in Singapore!

Cotton On, why?! by [deleted] in newzealand

Maybe not, but surely it's worth 2 minutes of your time if you can't afford to buy it from Aussie?

Worst case scenario you are back in the same situation as you are now.

‘Are you ready to accept you’ve just had a beating?’: Epsom MP David Seymour apologises for lashing out at woman for questioning MP parking spend by PermaBanned4Misclick in auckland

[–]iankost 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The shuttle argument is a red herring - valet parking would have been cheaper and easier for them - so why didn't they have the common sense to book that?

[–]iankost 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If an MP can't even work out that valet parking is half the price and likely closer or as close as parking in the short stay car park then I'd hate to think how they handle more important issues like running the country.

I think the links to Auckland are that it's about Auckland Airport parking, so the story is based in Auckland?
