The Ovolo is a lovely property, though thankfully they are now compromising on their absurd all-vegan stance (ever heard of giving your guests what they want?).The Intercontinental at Double Bay is a notable omission.

For anyone heading to PNG (there are daily flights), this is also used by Air Niugini for passengers in business class, Destinations Gold and (quirkily) any Qantas frequent flyers (Silver and above or QF Club members) flying on an Air Niugini ticket.

I went to Amsterdam in January and was a bit disappointed. The tourist tax (not included in quoted hotel rates) is distastefully high and the post-Brexit immigration queue (after my very delayed KLM flight from the UK) did not encourage future stopovers. Even the Metro shut down for half an hour ...

I'm really sick of Qantas but Virgin need to address their carry on weight limit. Apparently it's 7kg plus a small item- not ideal for business travellers. Even Jetstar will allow you to carry on up to 14kg- for a fee.

Have the international carriers who fly to Australia agreed to this? What happens if Qatar and Singapore Airways drop Australia? Surely they will consider focusing their efforts on regions that are opening up rather than shutting down.
