    Are areas beside a galley actually dangerous for pax to mingle?

    Extremely dangerous. I wouldn't want to annoy crew of certain airlines when they are trying to have a break in the galley in between main cabin service periods.

    Moving to UK - best way to get there?

    I've been an expat for over 20 years. For the moving side of this - you've had a lot of good advice above. Take VERY little apart from the essentials (basically the work clothes you need to start off with that fit you) and minimize on everything else. Here's a tip - for small things you want...

    Monumental Stuff up by Qantas

    Sympathise with the OP. The email saying there was a change of flight time was the clincher for me. Anyway - various posts about middle names and such. Try having a surname which is two words. ie XX YYYYYYY Yes there is a space in there. And I don't have a middle name. So many times at the...

    Increased choice for international air travellers

    Understood, but the A388 can't fly from Perth to London non stop. Same for the A333. Comparing apples to oranges there. I'm talking about the aircraft which is doing the PER-LHR route. Understandably there are less seats, but that's one of the reasons it's doing that route.

    Increased choice for international air travellers

    Totally understand your post - but you said "One reason a very low passenger count is used" Where is the evidence that the PER-LHR-PER flights have a low passenger loading?

    Increased choice for international air travellers

    There is one thing about a flight of this duration where fuel price is relevant, and that's the amount of additional fuel needed, to carry the additional fuel needed. That may not make sense as I've written it. You need to consider the additional fuel required to burn, to get the aircraft and...

    Again, if the route is doing consistently well in loadings, surely this will be a factor in it's viability. Fuel reaching a tipping point is very much arbitrary and could be said about any long haul route

    Where is the poll option for "None of the above"?

    Really? Anecdotal evidence suggests the route is doing well. Does anyone have any info on current loadings for the Per-LHR-PER route?

    Jetstar security breach - MEL

    err, yes. My original post in this topic still stands. He could have ended up trying to open the door on a flight bound for Launceston. Or Broome. Or wherever. Doesn't change the fact that he was originally booked to go to Adelaide. He was obviously really keen to get to Adelaide.

    Policy on changing TV channel in QF Business Lounge

    My Xiaomi mobile has an app which you can set up pretty much any commercial device (TV's, Airconditioners, anything that has a remote) Very handy - I often can't find the remote control, but I always know where my mobile is

    Policy on changing TV channel in QF Business Lounge

    The good Doctor's prescription in this case is sound There are some other apps which can sort out a mobile-based channel change also My trick is to quietly do this and then see who in the lounge notices (I don't get out much)
