A very pleasant finish to an afternoon visiting some wineries there is the penguin tour at Low Head

I put my phone in flight mode before take-off. Never had a cold or flu after.

I have travelled on multiple occasions with large home-grown pumpkins in Woolworths green bags. In addition at various times I have travelled with bags of assorted produce, a large Mullaway and a banana plant. Never Omo as I prefer bio-zet.

3 bottles a week! Your not even trying ;-)

I think the FA did realise something was odd with the BPs but let everyone on then did something about it so we weren't standing around outside the plane. The captain did say they were considering a couple of options ut in the end moved the passengers as the bags had been loaded on the correct...

I think they let everyone board and then sorted it out so that there wasn't a crowd milling around on the tarmac

First for me tonight. QF2178 Sydney to Port Macquarie. We all get on the bus and off to the plane. Boarding seems normal and settle in ready to go. The cabin attendant then asks the 2 blokes in row 1 "Are young going to Armidale?". They have a bit of a laugh thinking she is having a joke. After...

I use DVDFab but it's paid for software not free. Works well and is simple. Lately I've also been downloading YouTube videos and watching in the air. We get YouTube red with our Google music subscription.

I understand the "want" bit is a pretty normal emotion. In the face of existing competition though, why would any business, including the one you work or worked for take one potential loss maker. Good luck, but I reckon you'd be better off going with one of the other carriers if the product...

Re: Air Asia X 223 Data entry error leads to degraded flight systems and divert to ME The report does state "despite a number of opportunities to identify and correct the error, it was not noticed until after the aircraft became airborne and started tracking in the wrong direction". There were...

Re: Air Asia X 223 Data entry error leads to degraded flight systems and divert to ME Absolutely breathtaking work. The autopilot kicking in would have got their attention I bet. I think this is more a safety II / resilience issue.

Although the CTO looked quite fit I didn't see any evidence of fat shaming being part of there analytics strategy:)

By yield mgt I think the meaning was they can look at actual bookings compared to historical bookings and predicted loads and adjust pricing much more flexibly than previously. It probably does impact on award release as well. Unstructured means the source files are using multiple data models...

I was at an event yesterday where the Qantas CTO gave a presentation on work their quite small analytics team were doing. He made a couple of points that some on here may find interesting. 1. They can now do yield management for any bookable flight in minutes instead of half a day. 2. There is...

I would think that we'll over 80% of the population of Australia live well within 2hrs of Sydney airport either by ground commute or air connection. On that count Melbourne and Brisbane probably serve a logistical benefit for QF as much as they might be preferred by the local population using...

Never worked once TT. I'd be guessing but maybe 30% on other routes

It never worked for me when it was offered, so I can't imagine I'll miss it.

While there are a lot of very good points made in this thread. For me travelling first should mean you come away from the flight feeling your expectations have been fulfilled. All airlines charge enough for first class to cover a bit of wastage. I'm glad the flight back went well.

Some unkind people might suggest Perth treats the rest of WA like dirt
