    Aviation museums

    Visited IWM Duxford 5 weeks ago. Awesome museum, but I had sore feet from walking around Europe for previous 3 weeks, so I couldn't stand still to appreciate many of the exhibitions. Still had great time though. Huge number of Spitfires both static and flying throughout the day. Not the easiest...

    What's your idea of the worst possible nightmare commercial flight?

    I had this situation on SYD - DOH on Qatar, except aisle seat at back of plane backing onto toilet. Limited recline too. Worse would be me in middle seat economy sandwiched between two very large people long haul Australia to Europe.

    Will Qantas have a March 2023 double status credit promotion?

    Or 30-50% discount on QFF redemption for International? They just had 30% off domestic, of which I partook of two return flights to Melbourne for my wife and daughter next month to watch '& Juliet'. Noting they would have to almost have the discount second half of 2023 to find decent amount...

    Cheap flights coming? - China’s back

    Can't believe any country on earth can justify outdoor facemasks, and their citizens put up with it. HK is loony tunes. Couldn't pay me to go there if I had to wear a face mask outside.

    Jetstar 787 economy seats are actually painful

    I flew Jetstar 787 economy Melbourne to Saigon & back last week. I have been on a number of flights in my life, and 95% of them economy. All previous seats acceptable in terms of economy seating. Jetstar 787 economy seats are actively painful to sit on, starting a few minutes into the 8 hours...

    USA Attestation Forms + 4YO Not Vaccinated

    My son turns 5 early next year and the absolute last thing I would ever do is give a vaccine to a healthy little boy. Vaccines are needed for older ones (say 60+ but really the elderly), not fit young people. NOTE - I am approaching 50 and triple vaxxed.
