    Chinese visa as a journalist

    Yeah it didn’t bother me. I thought I could have had that extra wine in a plastic cup though and the reason was a bit ordinary. we were still 30 minutes away from landing.

    VA1333 HBA-MEL Friday March 22 7.45pm Cabin manager Laura was lovely, but overall the service was lacklustre. Was a full J cabin although several chose not to eat. Offered sparkling wine or water before departure but it never eventuated. When I asked once the seatbelt was off, the reason was...
