    Transporting miniature goats...

    Have you showed Jet Pets (and/or the others) actual pictures of them, maybe in a cat carrier. For scale. They are probably thinking of a huge goat and it must be in a wooden crate, maybe. I don't see that it should make any difference what's in the cat carrier ,unless it's snakes, ;)

    Avalon Airshow 2013 - 26 Feb - 03 March

    That would be the inside of a Galaxy? Well, compared to the inside of a Herc, that IS business class Herc C130 = Y+ Caribou = Y

    ran out of food in business class

    No way, try getting some McDonalds pancakes after 10.30. You can eat Cornflakes at dinner time, but that doesnt make it breakfast. :)

    Culinary Poll: How do you like your beef?

    Medium. And yes, I also go to Hog's Breath. And, as I like to say to any vegetarians out there; "If God did not want us to partake in his bounty, then why did he make them so damn tasty, and easy to catch?"

    What's your favourite thing about CBR?

    If that was on the range it must have been "personal issue". Unless things have changed.

    High altitude flights over Sydney

    It's the Damascus Express!! JB747 may get the reference to that one, or maybe some of the other ex RAAFs here, but more likely a RAF. A story a friend told me from way back. Anyone intrigued?

    747 vs A380 premium economy

    The only thing about the 747 PE, is it's a bit noisier that the 380. Otherwise the 747 is fine. I'd still pick the 380 given the choice. I also remember reading somewhere on the AA site that if you are travelling onward from an international flight with a partner airline you get the luggage...

    Zuji and my $68 lesson

    Ah, copy that! You know the first time I read it, I thought for some reason the sale fare was $68. I'm having a bad maths day.

    Zuji and my $68 lesson

    Where's the $68 come into it? Two times 39 is 78, but the fare difference is 40, so wouldn't that make it an 80 dollar lesson? And with sales, always get in early.

    Flight with Denzel

    I could picture him inverting a 747 and saying nonchalantly to the FO that it was just like being back in the Air Force

    What's your favourite thing about CBR?

    The Majura Firing Range, it's cold, windy, and..... wait, that's my least favorite thing. At least it was back in the day. Black Mountain Tower would have to be my fave (or whatever it's called these days), followed closely by the War Memorial.

    How do I calculate value of FF points award flight vs buying ticket on sale price

    There is no fixed rule on how much a FF point is "worth" In my case we recently booked PE fares to DFW and it cost 252K points plus $1600, which equates to a FF point value of 3.4 cents per point for the same paid fare at that time. (3 tickets purchased) But, we picked a day where the ASA was...

    BA Long Haul J Pyjamas and cabin baggage allowance?

    I can't imagine they would only give them out for one leg. Because then the other leg would get really cold! Boom tish!

    Recreating an airline meal at home for a dinner party

    Don't laugh. This happened to me in December on the way back from BKK. I was watching Premium Rush, and thought I could fit it in, but they kept making announcements. I had to bail about 7 minutes from the end. LMAO! So the guests go to the lougeroom before the flight, then are seated...

    HELP!! MY way to get EXCESS BAGGAGE on Flight for FREE. And its half legal...

    You know, you can buy inexpensive luggage scales. We use them all the time. The last thing I want to do at check in, is d*** around with repacking. There is lounge time to be had. And once you get on board, you have to find space for all that cough. I will admit my carry on really pushes the...

    Recreating an airline meal at home for a dinner party

    And use one of the kid's table tennis bats to serve the tea and coffee. Maybe after dinner you could set up a really, really, small TV and watch a movie. Of course, you have to pause it about 5 times and make some random announcement.

    Ask The Pilot

    Also a reason why you cant open a car door if the vehicle is submerged, unless you can break or open the window. The surface area just makes it physically impossible. Mmm, that's what I keep telling my daughter. You would be surprised at the number of injuries that kids get from doors (be they...

    Better out than in researchers say... Especially for Pilots...

    Revolutionary new design for airline seats

    As much luxury as first class? "offers first class comfort" Really? Are they kidding? AND uses 16 percent more space. Ergo, fares would need to go up 16% to break even. I don't see it happening. Ever.
