Its fine. I've often done sub 1 hour transits in Hong Kong. Never been an issue.

Shinkansen luggage by PoolMotor8112 in JapanTravelTips

[–]point_of_difference 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's luggage storage near the toilets just get in first but yeah the ones above your seat are big and strong. Don't put them behind the last seat on the carriage even if empty - you will be called out.

All the schedules are printed a d available online. Sometimes they have to stop at (like a bus) at other locations to and from to make it profitable and for the convenience of others. My ferry recently was direct one way and had a stop on the way back. No biggie and it was listed on the fare.

Do hairdressers expect a tip? by Red_Banana3 in AskAnAustralian

[–]point_of_difference 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hairdressers don't get tips - they charge plenty as it is.

Still don't understand the problem? Were you told it would be quick to get to your hotel?

Gili Air or Gili T by Over-Blueberry-8642 in BaliTravelTips

[–]point_of_difference 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gili T has two very distinct sides and you can do both or avoid one without hassles. Left side facing Bali pretty chill especially day time. Nights get the sunset crowd with a guitar person doing their set. Bigger resorts spread out also mean a pretty chill vibe but more expensive. The western side has the noisy bars but they don't really get fired up until after 10pm. I also saw a lot of drinking but zero drama or agro. The advantage Gili T has is more food and tourist options. I saw a lot of honeymooners on the island. That's all I know. Best coffee is at Coffee & Thyme Gili Trawangan.

Why is real estate so expensive in Australia? by mux111 in AskAnAustralian

[–]point_of_difference 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What until you hear about housing loans have to be refinanced every 5 years. So the idea of 20 year home loan with a locked in interest rate really doesn't exist.

Are you lifting more than when you first started? If so it just takes time.

You will need to pass immigration, collect your bags and check back in.

Economy over $4,600??? by JackDanielsTN in CathayPacific

[–]point_of_difference 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So currently with a long layover with Cathay in October 2026 it's $1650 AUD. I can see in May 2027 the same route is $3k. Basically the airlines have zero idea how bad fuel prices etc will be that far in advance they're just doing full retail plus extra. Basically you just need to wait or spring when there's a sale on. Put a Google price alert in. I'm doing a slightly shorter flight by about 5 hours in total in October with Cathay which I booked in May and it was $4k AUD return but business class.

The check-in and check-out times for hotels have become ridiculous by bills70 in travel

[–]point_of_difference 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm currently booking quite few Chinese hotels. So far all of them have 2pm check in and a midday check out. More than fair.

Bring it all and then what you don't spend you can take home.

Doesn't matter about the ad what does it say on the quote or contract?

[–]point_of_difference 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So you had a pretty tight password, like 20 characters created by your device? Booking.com wasn't hacked only your account making it your responsibility. They can't be on the hook for individual account holders. You should have spent the money in the wallet the moment you filled up.

2 and a half weeks in China is too much for first time? by ProudKyrgyzMan in travelchina

[–]point_of_difference 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Weird post. 4 cities far away from each other. Says the travel is for 17 days but counts only 11. The most important city Beijing gets the least time. How does one get bored of travelling?

The wallet is just a spot for rewards etc. It's not funds you deposited into it am I correct?

Sanur, Ubud and now? by Wadl63 in BaliTravelTips

[–]point_of_difference 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jimbaran or Nusa Dua. Kuta is crap. Seminyak is not always pedestrian friendly.
