Oslo Airport tip: don't automatically follow the big Flytoget signs.

I took the normal Vy train to Oslo Central Station: 134 NOK, 22 minutes. Flytoget was about 250 NOK.

Just make sure you buy for the right train, because Vy tickets aren't valid on Flytoget.

@tetsuaki_hamano Yes, I’m launching my second Claude Design - Wordpress site, built by handing off to Claude Code to implement Gutenberg-compliant blocks, managed by plugin and CSS.

@jakerumbles @AnthropicAI Same here :) Let's see if the usage racks up as quickly.

@shannonrwatts @lilastories Anything to Brendan?

I finally ticked something off my bucket list: an Alaska Cruise!

I sailed on Brilliance of the Seas with Royal Caribbean and filmed the experience, day by day.

I went on my first cruise ever on the Margaritaville at Sea Paradise, and there are 5 things I really wish someone had told me beforehand!

As a complete cruise virgin from Ireland, I knew nothing about Jimmy Buffett or cruising when we booked this!

If you're planning to visit Australia in 2025, I've just updated my guide for flying there from Ireland or the UK - latest prices included 😱 - but don't worry they've gone down a bit!

My site has had a makeover! Visit https://t.co/q8IK19Awow for epic flights, scenic trains & smart connections. All the reviews! The latest Eurostar Plus review has just posted with some honest guidance on which class to book from London to Cologne.

[Planet Patrick @patrickpost]

I paid extra for Eurostar Plus from London to Cologne (via Brussels), but only part of the journey felt “Plus.”

What do you actually get for the fare? Breakfast, comfort, a fast transfer… and a few surprises.

Latest blog... when you're tempted to bid for an upgrade, sometimes you get it for the lowest offer. My Icelandair Saga Premium review!

Travelling in South Florida used to be all about the hire car for tourists like me. But now, is the Brightline train service changing the game?

Thinking about claiming a VAT refund when leaving Thailand but not sure if it’s worth the hassle? I walk you through the process step by step—and yes, it is worth it! Watch my latest video from Chiang Mai before I head to Malaysia.

There's nothing like heading for the ferry to get the tingles going! The last one I took to France was from sunny Rosslare and Stena Line. It hit some highs and lows, and that wasn't just the waves!!

Watch this week's video on Planet Patrick!

If you've considered a cruise along the Dalmatian Coast, or visiting Croatia, Montenegro and Corfu, this video is for you! This is a short port guide to Split, Dubrovnik, Kotor and Corfu, which I visited on Virgin Voyages "Resilient Lady"!

My flight reviews are *quite* positive but my review of Air Canada got quite a response, including a slew of grumpy comments!

I'm back with an even worse review of Air Canada, in Premium Economy long haul. Might be in for some turbulence with this one!

Time for a change of pace and a new ferry journey for me, from Nanaimo on Vancouver Island back to downtown Vancouver on board Hullo Ferries, a more direct and faster option on the West Coast of Canada!

What's the state of United Airlines Premium Plus? In today's video, I check it out on a long haul overnight trek from Narita, Japan to Los Angeles.

If you've heard of the Shinkansen, or bullet train, it's because it's an amazing way to travel at up to 300km/h through Japan.

In today's video, experience the Nozomi train (the fastest) in First Class as I sit back and watch Japan whizz past.

@flynorse my suitcase was left behind at Las Vegas Airport by Norse since Thursday - report filed immediately on arrival in Gatwick, but not a single update or acknowledgment from Norse at this point. I have an AirTag and can see its location. No way to share this.
