Traveller Letters: Budget airline-style fees in business class? No thanks

It’s time someone called out the insidious trend of airlines charging extra for every little possible thing they can. Qatar Airways, for example, has a so-called “business class lite” fare which, unlike standard business class, doesn’t allow lounge access or seat selection without significant additional charge. If such perks are not included in a business class ticket one can only wonder what one does get for the nevertheless exorbitant fare, compared to economy.

Ben Groundwater’s cover story on his standout restaurant experiences over two decades brought back so many memories, as we always travel with dining in mind. My most memorable place was Dimitris Ammoudi Restaurant in Oia, Santorini, Greece. To get there involves a treacherous drive down the side of the mountain to the idyllic bay and beach below. The restaurant is the last one in the row, where the water laps up to the beachside tables.

The guide on our Mekong River cruise was able to smooth things over with the guards at the Cambodia-Vietnam border, by payment of yet more money for the several people on the boat with “visa irregularities”. Be very careful to check every name, date, letter, and number so the visa agrees exactly with the passport.echoes that of ours. The form went back and forth several times, to get the name on the visa correct, so when the visa finally arrived we thought that must have been acceptable.
