Yeah Pyrmont’s a fair way from a proper station, and the light rail is super slow (and probably not so frequent that time of night). Uber is still far & away the dominant one here. I’ve tried two others, Didi is one of those I’ve tried, and honestly half the drivers seem to be members of one...

Do corporate owner ethics play any part in the decision?

11yrs ago I flew CX to SYD<==>LHR in PE ... their advertising said the food was the same as J except with fewer choices, reality was that the NAME of the food was the same as J, but it was really larger portions of Y meals. The biggest advantage was the seat in front not grinding holes in your...

Well … my favourite brewery releases new beers on a Wednesday, meaning that if Straya Post is on the ball I’ll get them in time to chill for Friday night. Straya Post only sends me a message when they get notification there’s a parcel, and when the parcel is going to be delivered; I do have to...

There is … for that one instance. Problem is … block that instance, they move onto the next. It’s like blocking a ‘phone number when the scammers use a randomised system for the number their call appears to come on. If the telephone system wasn’t based on something centuries old, it wouldn’t be...

I find PE very hard to justify outside the context of being on the ‘plane … it’s normally 3/4 the price of J, it’s normally close to 3x the price of Y, and “all” you get of any real value over Y is a few cm’s of width and a few more cm’s of leg-room. How can that little bit extra be worth so...

At least yours was smart enough to give up at that point, mine just kept pushing on. 😁

I got a call with a real scammer at the other end on Tuesday, he claimed to be from Ebay investigating unusual usage of my account. I was sitting in traffic at a REALLY slow intersection, 30 cars from the lights & only about 5 cars were going through each cycle ... I'd already answered (I'm...

I very much find the extra space of Premium Economy to be far less painful an experience in terms of knee pain, and I’m an inch shorter. Any other stuff thrown in is a bonus IMHO. If you can find Business with flatbed seats on a 2nd-tier airline I think I’d prefer that to Premium Economy (eg...

Heh ... I was informed of his existence only a few weeks ago by the thread, in this subsection of the forum, about YouTube content generators. :)

Was this before or after the Delta flight landing in Toronto flipped with only 4 hospitalisations, meaning all passengers must’ve been wearing their belts?

I think you need info about how the buses are set up. Some have a pitch almost like 80’s J seating, others are like the above. I’ve never had any sort of interest in finding out why the differences though … :)

Probably 7-8 years ago now, when my wife had QF P & there was a then-new-ish J lounge in SG which had replaced both the F & J ones that’s been there before, our (morning?) QF flight home had been canned and we were booked a fair bit later that day. Due in part to the cancellation and then just...

Maybe because my mindset has been that QF management aren’t nice, I’ve not smelled a lot of nastiness towards the actual staff in this thread. I mean the occasional, but not overall.

Y pax are disposable scum, there’re always more valueless rabble waiting in the wings. They’re probably experienced pit fighters anyway.

Sounds like an agreement for staff that’s not been thought-through properly by the PR department, to me. If they siphoned off the cars QF staff were using to somewhere else it’d have the same end-effect for both the QF staff and the passengers in the queue needing to wait longer for a car … but...

^ So Qatar also has a tie-up with Uber?

I know this is wavering away from the topic (and as an aside on the topic of the thread - I do wonder if QF have done a deal with Uber for local staff travel & are messing-up the optics), but does the above (talking about “PIN technology” and differences for UberX vs the other services) mean the...

Me too, if I ever go anywhere without any laws about shooting people I’ll be blasting away murdering as many as I can!! [China I suspect? Or does that maybe cost a few bucks on entry?]

I guess after this thread being active for a week or so now, it occurs to me … are there THAT many people who don’t go for the journey as being kinda important? I mean, how many of us down here at the cough end of the world go to somewhere in the USA or Europe and just stay in one place …...
