    The Five Stans of The Silk Road (2023)

    I flew into Tashkent from Seoul with Asiana, who are excellent. Domestic inter-city travel within Uzbekistan was by train, which was also excellent.

    Seoul/South Korea for Christmas New Year

    Bloody cold but it's a great city with lots to see - the palace, the historic village, markets, fish market, shopping arcades attached to metro stations (some of these are interesting and on a theme, eg vinyl record shops). And the food!

    Article: Qantas Auckland Lounge Upgrade: The End of an Era

    Bless, Qantas customers expecting Qantas to actually implement improved products instead of just promising them "next year."

    General Virgin Australia Lounge Discussion

    Yeah, it's been a bit average, but to be fair, on my last visit to the SYD lounge, they had a chicken korma and rice for lunch, and the korma was nice (although too mild for my taste) and packed with chicken, which was great. I was expecting three or four lonely pieces swimming in lots of sauce...

    Virgin Australia to Reconfigure 737 Fleet - Spend $110M

    But it is the dividers that make policing possible, with the rope that can be placed across. On the Y seats, has anyone measured the actual leg room of the new vs old. Presumably the pitch is less but the seat itself is thinner.

    Terminal 3 Silverkris Business Lounge (not *G lounge)

    Last time I visited T3 SKL, I thought the food was great. Maybe some people don't like the type of foods provided?

    Article: Qantas Auckland Lounge Upgrade: The End of an Era

    Well, that article that started this thread didn't age well! Written in 2022, and still waiting for action from Qantas.

    Etihad 787 Business Class Review - EY 462 AUH-MEL

    Y or J? (I can imagine the 777 Y seats would be horrible at 10 abreast but should I also avoid 777 J?)

    Etihad 787 Business Class Review - EY 462 AUH-MEL

    If you only had one hour's sleep, was that because the bed was uncomfortable or noise levels high? C'mon, share your Y experience MEL-AUH!

    Japan Airlines plane in flames at Tokyo's Haneda airport

    Insurance b*st*rds will probably decline payout on the basis that JAL paid compensation.

    Most comfortable decent looking travel clothes?

    Apropos of the Haneda incident, I have always been a bit concerned about wearing my extremely comfortable and nice-looking Lululemon Commission pants because they are synthetic. I would miss them because they are a dressier but comfortable option for the plane and for walking around all day...

    Tokyo Haneda slot - How will Virgin Operate it? [CNS-HND flights ceased Feb '25]

    Yes, bang for your buck on the SCs is massive for the VA flights, particuarly when connecting from another capital.

    Qantas A330-200 cabin refurbishments

    Yet more promises of what they might do sometime in the future. But it sems to work, as QF customers keep coming back for more of the same, while expecting the product to magically improve since their last woeful experience.

    AFF Review: Singapore Airlines 777-300ER Economy (SIN-SYD)

    Yep, get to the gate holding pen 20 minutes prior to t/o, straight through security and straight on board (hopefully).

    Article: Less than Half of Qantas Points Are Earned from Flying

    And more than half of QFF points are spent buying toasters.

    QR Economy Seats

    Yeah, the bulkead extra legroom seats have the screens and tables in the armrests, narrowing their width, so it's a trade-off. I tend to avoid for that reason, thankfully I am not so tall.
