Hey Brad. Don't they say "pick your battles" or something? When your ticket says that's your seat the young lady didn't really have much wiggle room - other than perhaps trying to deflect . Cheers.

She knew exactly what she was doing. Not sure I would have been so polite.

[@fiascodagama1]

That seems to be the consensus.

[@kmilton1593]

Good job of standing your ground with the seat thief; once the seat was confirmed, the thief moved quickly! Enjoyed that part the most.

[@fiascodagama1]

It would have surprised me if the airline had changed the seating numbers for the day. :)

[@bettyboop7426]

Thanks Wayne,your driver seems so sweet&definitely good to have honest&reliable driver. I am definitely an aisle person which they say is preference of introverts. Enjoy your time in Perth,cheers

[@fiascodagama1]

Hi Stephanie. I'm envious of that one leg you aisle sitters get to stretch. And Dewa is the best driver I've ever had in bali. cheers.

[@DYTIII]

LMAO at saying she was told the seats had changed when there's a diagram right above on every aisle. It's Jetstar. You literally pay to choose where you sit. She just probably thought nobody was coming and moved her seat. Nice of her to throw the staff under the bus tho.

[@fiascodagama1]

I'm not sure whether it was a legitimate mistake or not - I just want my window seat.

The Aussie dollar definately goes further in Bali. Last trip was on a Virgin 737 from Brissie, man that was rough. Return flight was the red eye, as we approached Brisbane the flight attendant thanked the passengers for choosing Virgin & said 'it's been a pleasure to watch you sleep' 🙂

so our flight arrived in brisbane 2am. no rental car no cafe no nothing. we found a cafe and made a coffee. ended up making about 10 for other passengers. everyone left 5 bucks and a note. got my prebooked rental car at 8am. despite being booked for 2am. welcome to Australia.

[@fiascodagama1]

So happy to know you might continue to hang around and watch, Sandie. :) Air Asia red eyes from around the region into Don Meung, Bangkok, between 1am and 4 am is the worst i've experienced, I think. The new Jetstar Neo 321 planes are the best budget planes I've flown with and might lure me away from my normal Air Asia red eye.

[@SandieAnnFletcher]

@fiascodagama1 I totally agree about the new Jetstar Neo 321, great all rounders for the flight. YES Bangkok, I have been caught in that melee early am. 😳

Every time I return to Sydney airport from Bali I feel like I've just landed on another planet..a sterile odd place where the inhabitants walk around with their heads down staring hypnotically into a blue screen and look so serious. So many people but it's got no soul. It always takes me about a week to acclimatise.

[@fiascodagama1]

It does take a while to adjust doesn't It?

[@goodmoodgoodday5385]

Had the same feeling when I went back to Germany, even in this time the mobile phone device where not very common. So I push the reset bottom and move to Ubud Bali to live and work here with my family. That was 20 years ago and not one day of regret since then.

[@polliebain7450]

Wayne you might notice how confused - almost embarrassed - the Balinese are when you ask them about their plans for the future. Normally in their culture they don't dwell on the past - nor look too far ahead to the future. Life is all about the present. Look at the language - no verb tenses. They are happy living in the moment. Just a thought...

[@fiascodagama1]

That's a pretty astute observation, pollie, and one I hadn't considered. Thanks.

Glad to see all went well with the journey. I magine the young woman who nicked your seat is covered in embarrassment at her (pretty transparent) lame excuse, gracous of you not o rub it in. Although an introvert, I prefer an aisle seat, usually seated across the aisle from my wife - suits us both, and since a large proportion of air passengers seem to travel in pairs this works well for the airlines too.

Hi Wayne. Welcome back. Do you ever suffer from reverse culture shock? There's probably a term for it. It's when you've spent a long time in another country and you become drenched in the culture and language to the extent you feel a part of it. I used to suffer terribly. Readjusting to our own culture may take time.

[@fiascodagama1]

I used to really dislike the sterility and predictability, all the shiny steel and glass and work routines I saw in western living when i came back but I'm less affected these days knowing I'm not back for long and don't have to contend with it much. but yes, i know the feeling well, ed.

Because I like the ability to lean my against a wall to sleep, to look out the window at take-off and landing as well as to see land formations like lakes, mountains, coastlines, sunrises etc. Windows also allow you to see what's happening outside if there's a forced landing - where the fire is, debris in the water etc. Why do you like an aisle seat?
