I had a few hours to kill at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA), and instead of sitting around the terminal, I decided to try Kepler Club. I used my Priority Pass to get in, which made it an easy choice.
There are actually two Kepler Club locations at KLIA Terminal 1. One is airside in the Satellite Building, while the other is landside on Level 2. I used the landside location, the one near the car park and on the...
Bali still sells out on public holidays. What has changed is the map. From Singapore you can now fly nonstop to Indonesian islands that most travellers cannot pronounce on the first try. Belitung is the one worth learning.
Scoot’s new link turned a name on a chart into a Friday-night departure. Local hotels that saw a handful of Singapore guests in a month suddenly counted them in the hundreds. That is not a marketing slogan. It is what happens when...
You sit down, buckle in, and tap the screen. A long list of films appears. New releases sit next to old favourites and titles from other countries. It feels like the airline just threw everything at the wall. It did not.

For years Sri Lanka sat just out of reach for many Australians: a beautiful island that usually meant a long transit in Singapore, Kuala Lumpur or the Gulf. That calculation changed this week. Jetstar has started a year-round, three-times-weekly Melbourne–Colombo service on Boeing 787s — the first low-cost nonstop between Australia and Sri Lanka.
