Chivas

I could name at least 10 without drawing breath Travel agents whether physical or online are the life blood of the aviation industry They exist as consolidators by buying blocks of discounted seats ensuring that the airline reaches minimum income on any one flight I'd love to know how much I have saved long haul via agents

Wrong 330 days at which point the system will throw out the request if you go couple days over etc

No standard return on Oman Air in fact half the price of what the OP was suggesting Lot of you guys enjoy throwing money away by booking direct with airlines is half the problem and this myriad of spurious information which claims if you book with an agent you cant contact the airline subsequently for any reason Utter boll****

First random date outbound taking into account OP's inbound date and Oman £723

Baht has weakened again against the USD on one side of the pairings which effects every nationality coming to spend money in Thailand Sterling also at 5 year high against the Baht (AUD x USD) x (USD x Baht) equates to AUD/Baht Movement in either pairing effects that bottom line Slightly bemused that Baht is weakening out as lot of financial news here indicating the opposite would be true

Mine just "opens" on the app whatout ever putting password in That rate few seconds ago of Sterling at 45.74 (gross) must be the highest for 5 years plus

Assuming you have a Thai account nothing comes close to Wise on rates or speed of transfers in normally seconds

I've found a wide smile and a polite greeting to the IO solves all problems....... You just watch how surly 95% of the travellers are approaching the kiosk

I wont screenshot but I just put in £1000 which lands "in seconds" according to app I then put in £1250 but now it reverts to "arrives on Thursday" Thats RBS to Wise to SCB Effectively unless we were in an emergency it hardly matter anyway I guess

No not really Arriving in 3 to 4 seconds as always All my transfers are £1000 or slightly less. I have noticed though that if I put say £1250 in and it stretches out to 2 hours or something I'm only surmising that when it exceeds 50.000 Baht landing it takes a little longer ??

You've been offensive to multiple people on this thread and elsewhere Off you pop fella x (out of interest I suggest you get a proper bank where all transfers are instant)

I dont need it explaining to me lol I use bank transfer every time and the money lands in SCB before I can even log in to the app.....in fact 1-2 seconds from pressing send to Wise the ping hits from the SCB app RBS to Wise to SCB 24/7...

I havent added any emoji but if you send money to Wise its simply instant. If I sent £10 as I type this by now its already there

Have gone back and looked at my last 20 transfers using Royal Bank of Scotland to Wise to SCB here in Thailand 19 landed within 10 seconds and just one took 3 hours There are Saturday and Sundays where monies were dispatched included in the 19 Edited in.....all were for £1000 or less

I'll copy and paste last sentence and alter 1 word Nick.... "I'll repeat for example if you are aged 40 with no elite visa and you have a 12 month return ticket to Thailand it was simply impossible to have an advance visa to cover that period " That now covers the period up to a few days ago when ground handling at Gatwick gave you wrong information

Wrong. Again you've completely overlooked just why its wrong and I gave you a perfect example earlier. Its completely spurious information you are giving I'll go further I arrived on Etihad on 25th October one way with 60 day Evisa....no return ticket all I arrived on Singapore on 18th January on return portion of round ticket (so now effectively one way) on 60 day Evisa with no further onward ticket again By your "rules" of previous I would have been hung out to dry I'll repeat for example if you are aged 40 with no elite visa and you have a 12 month return ticket to Thailand it is simply impossible to have an advance visa to cover that period

Yes you can

To Sterling yes but lets not forget there are two pairings that make up the bottom line I agree on one side the Baht may well appreciate against the USD before long but likewise so could Sterling appreciate against the same USD on the opposite side of the pairings Out of interest Im topping up frequently at 45 to SCB

Likewise I use Travel Supermarket after first checking preferred againt Travel Trolley Have only ever booked 5 times with airlines and on two occasions had issues......on the other hand Travel Trolley bent over backwards twice to help me when I needed to change dates including on one trip changing the outbound sector normally never an aoption Agent for me every time because it you do have a problem you've got two pronged attack on the airline itself. Anyone who claims if you book with an agent than the airline wont help you is talking utter shight

I suggest you watch online current ITV docu/drama "Breathtaking" which is going to win every gong going.....tells the story of one of the UK's top Doctors and her real time experience No one will ever say again who watches that it was a "plandemic" Insulting beyond belief

Live screenshot The app had defaulted to higher fee of £10.55 instead of £6.40.....in the past it always displayed the lowest option....easy to change but one to watch

Yep I highlighted that here couple weeks ago using the app in that it had defaulted to the higher fee I only noticed because the spread between gross and net had widened more than usual Could immediately see why...easy to change on the app but it will be overlooked by 1000's every day

UK state pension is not "sanctionable" was only reading an extensive article over this the other day Inotherwards overpaid monies (on any benefit) cannot be recovered via ongoing state pension payments

IF IF IF it is only New Zeland

Who are these people who put confused emoji on posts like mine above !! What in the name of all thats holy is confusing lol !
