I left Italy in June. Thanks to the EU’s shambolic new entry and exit system, authorities thought I was still there.
After two glasses of $1200-a-bottle champagne, my trip has paid for itself. I just wish the flight were delayed so I could stay onboard for longer.
Te Arikinui Pullman Auckland Airport is just across the road from Auckland’s international terminal.
While Jetstar Asia shut down in 2025, cheap flights to and across Asia are still possible through a different Qantas partner airline.
Some of its tired, 1960s-era elements remain, but a four-year upgrade is complete – including the terminal Qantas departs from.

We’ve now reached the stage where almost a quarter of the world’s countries sit within the Australian government’s “stay home” warning levels.
The airport’s new design is nice, and the upgrades to security are appreciated. But there’s still not a lot to do here.
A cheap upgrade makes flying economy overnight more bearable – but avoid seat 11C.
GST refunds aren’t just for international visitors. Shop in Australia before you fly abroad and get a nice boost to your bank balance.
