    The Dark side of Japan Tourism.

    A very unfortunate experience and a reminder that when travelling, we are subject to the laws, regulations and customs of the host country. Calls to boycott Japan are an individual choice, however if you do so based on principle, you will be boycotting every single country (Australia included)...

    Qantas board doing some due diligence

    Well the new Qantas Chair starts on 1 July, so in theory he should have no ties (good or bad) with AJ and hopefully he'll put his stamp of authority over the board and company by ensuring that AJ is held accountable for his actions and inactions. AJ has ridden the QF gravy train for over a...

    Singapore and Cathay

    Looks like it. But it seems the collaboration is purely on sustainability initiatives and nothing more. They are still very much robust competitors in the Asia Pacific.

    HSBC Star Alliance credit card in Australia

    Whats the $ amount of the mortgage outstanding (excluding any offset accounts), what is the limit on your amex? The level of assets you have generally doesn't get taken into account, they assess serviceability based on income.

    SQ321 LHR-SIN Encountered Severe Turbulence [At least 1 Fatality and 30 Injured]

    It was an extremely slow and gradual plunge... Just the usual media sensationalism, whatever gets the clicks right?

    SQ321 LHR-SIN Encountered Severe Turbulence [At least 1 Fatality and 30 Injured]

    Nope....We were headed in the wrong direction the moment you brought up a matter that was completely unrelated to the topic at hand. Bye bye

    SQ321 LHR-SIN Encountered Severe Turbulence [At least 1 Fatality and 30 Injured]

    Sound advice :) Looks like the damage in the galley was caused by a service trolley that got flung up?

    SQ321 LHR-SIN Encountered Severe Turbulence [At least 1 Fatality and 30 Injured]

    All the issues with the 737Max are all apparently relevant even though this incident has got nothing to do with the 737max... It's a timely reminder to us all to always be strapped in whenever onboard. A terrible situation for those caught up in this.

    SQ321 LHR-SIN Encountered Severe Turbulence [At least 1 Fatality and 30 Injured]

    Yes it is a real possibility, severe head trauma from being slammed into the ceiling could result in death, particularly if the passenger was elderly or young.

    Why have we rehashed a story from 2015?

    Avianca's rebranding to "avianca"

    Well I'm sure some marketing consultancy got paid millions for this radical redesign and re-positioning of the brand. Millions well spent.... Reminds of when Qantas had the massive rebrand which involved reshaping the roo logo and changing the font of "Qantas", again millions well spent 😂

    What is the best airport name you have come across

    If I ran Austrian Airlines, I would schedule a seasonal Foxtrot/Uniform/Kilo-INN-HEL service (AFF is censoring the 3 letter IATA code of my first airport 😅)

    Do you leave a tip for hotel housekeeping?

    Yes in developing countries and the US. It's ironic that in some instances that we have to lump developing countries and the US together. Often on my my last day in a country and if I have a heap of small change and/or coins, I'll leave this as tips too.
