    Welcome the Qantas 787's :)

    Having flown them in Y on a couple of carriers I believe the 787 should be called "Bin-Liner", cos it sure isn't a dream. Might try it in J but never again in Y

    What frequent flyer benefits would you like airlines to adopt?

    Removal of the absolutely obscene charges for award redemptions if platinum equivalent or above. It really is galling.

    Is Qantas in flight service slipping?

    I fly BNE-PER once a month, have had B&E on the menu for quite some time now.

    Daytime flight Asia to Australia? And related Europe via Asia questions

    Any more than 2 hours on a 737 renders me almost suicidal.

    Jetstar in-air fight

    Re: Rumour:[Denied by RR] Qantas to ban JQ SYD-MEL pax from F lounges & send to J lou I'm not letting this one pass, particularly as a FIFO worker. Do you have even the slightest evidence to support that preposterous piece of hyperbole? Or you just repeating the sweeping generalisations...

    Brisbane Lounge Changes

    What used to be the "Fisrt class lounge" at BNE Int was the size of a tent. Anything else would be an improvement.

    QF A330 or EK A380 to SIN

    I wouldn't touch 777 Y with a barge pole. I did J 330 QF to SIN, then J EK 380 SIN to LHR in April. Enjoyed both, actually find the refurb 330 a bit roomier. And I do a fair bit of domestic J 330 refurb so I get in them a fair bit. Had no problems with service on either but must admit the EK...

    Whoops... what did you forget you had?

    I work on at a remote minesite and always travel HLO to/from work. A couple of years ago when I was going through security at Perth my bag gets pulled to one side. Old mate the security guard ferrets around indeterminately for a very long period of time, without pulling anything out. I'm...

    Why London is the world's greatest city.

    We used to do it really well in the 70's and 80's but RBT and piss poor public transport put paid to that. I grew up in Perth and it was phenomenal fun in the late 70s early 80s, bands everywhere and great parties and pubs and you went everywhere with your workmates and normal mates. All gone...

    Extreme HLO

    In my case it's because; 1. I absolutely detest waiting at baggage carousels. 2. I hate lugging ( or even wheeling ) around a large suitcase. There are times when it's a neccessary evil, but I really hate doing it. Made all the worse by the fact that I live in a very warm place, and I'm not...

    Drink rules at the QP. What is the go?

    Not true about WA RSA. It's what they feel like on the day in PER QP. I first struck the 1 drink per customer rule in PER about 2 years ago, and it's been utterly random since that occasion. And certainly not 1 drink per customer in PER J QP

    Lounge etiquette

    It only needs to happen once to be true though doesn't it. I've never seen anything that bad either, but I don't have any trouble believing it to be so, especially given some of the staggeringly obnoxious people I've seen in lounges, and the general indifference of the staff toward it...
