Australia's major domestic airports have animal relief areas already. Major airports these tend to be air-side after security screening. At regional airports it may be an outside area so need to relieve before going through security or will need to exit and re-screen if needed. At BNE domestic...

Well, that is only part of what Genesis reveals. While it is true that according to Genesis, Adam and Eve had three sons called Cain, Able and Seth. Genesis also tells us (Gen 5:4) that in the 800 years Adam lived after the birth of Seth, he has other sons and daughters. So yes, think about it...

Arrived into Kyiv on a Friday evening, with Mrs.NM and three kids (6-10 years old) in tow. Due to a "lost in translation" confusion, our hosts thought we were arriving the following day. After completing arrivals processing, we entered the airport arrivals area and could not locate our hosts...

But needing to deal with people in the other (civilized??) states means being semi-annually chronologically challenged.

Dinners etc. will be central (think City, Fortitude Valley, Southbank, West End). Saturday "excursion activities" still being considered, but expect meeting point to be CBD hotel locations(s) with transport arranged from there.

Aviation Herald initial reporting of this incident is now posted: https://avherald.com/h?article=516a0f60&opt=0 This report states that a PAN PAN PAN was declared. I expect the loud band would have been a little disconcerting for most (all?) of the passengers. All reports indicate the crew...

I would suggest this not only applies to an aircraft with only two engines, but applies to any aircraft with more than one engine. In fact, I posit that a single engined landing on an aircraft with four engines is probably a little more challenging than for a two engined aircraft. Where as a...

What is the aircraft type? I have several AAdvantage award bookings in the F cabin and all are allowing me to select which ever F seats I like for myself and Mrs.NM. Theses flights all have my QFF LTG status linked (and no reference to my AA number except for the payment of miles from my...

No access to corporate plan details from the Optus App (needs a username/password). But I can see my usage on the company on-line portal. However, looking through my received SMS history, there are very few SMS on-time codes received. Most important are from banks for transaction...

Cool. Thanks. Free WiFi included for my hotel stay, so should be easy to do once there. No need for any connectivity until we reach the first hotel as the shuttles for LAX airport hotels come regularly and no need to call the hotel.

:cool: Reality is that I would not know if it was triggered unless some finance person decides my SIM costs need to be reviewed/justified that month. I don't normally see the bill and always stay "below the radar" for finance department review :) Thanks. That is the conclusion I had reached...

Yes, I should be able to download the app. I have a second AppleID that I have used in the past for a some apps that are only available via the USA App Store. It's a bit of a pain swapping IDs, but can be done. Hopefully I can use my USA-linked AppleID on both our phones to download the app...

Note the Glenglassaugh 12 Year Old Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky offered by Qantas Wine for $119.99 is not the same drop as the Glenglassaugh 12 Year Old Pedro Ximénez Cask Matured offered by The Whisky Club as the March whisky of the month for $125 (plus $15 shipping). The Pedro Ximénez...

Planning for a USA trip with Mrs. NM later in the year. We both have eSIM compatible iPhones. My phone physical SIM is with Optus and provided/paid by my employer (phone is my own), and this is a personal holiday so I cannot just activate global roaming and use the company account SIM in a way...

I really struggled with understanding my grammar ... she spoke with a very strong geordie accent
