    So, who plans?

Apparently, KSS dont run shuttles ( no pun intended) from Orlando. Apparently the taxi fare was about 300 dollars. Ouch. Wouldnt you have already worked out...

    Question about Nikon Mini DSLR

    Do you mean the D5200? Which lens? I assume you are not getting more that one lens. All my gear is Canon, but on spec the 5200 looks good. Being in Sydney, I can recommend one or two outlets that will ship, but are a good statring point for comparitive prices in any caseDirt Cheap Cameras are...

    Photography

    I agree, there is no doubt much knoledge that can be shared re cameras and photography rather than putting it my questions. Docjames' suggestion for placement is probably best, what with WSH being another sub-forum there

    Argument for Pay as you Weigh airfares

    I have no problem with this far-fetched idea. So long as my daughter flies for 25% of the fare, as she only weighs 25% of an average adult (whatever that may be). But by this rationale, we should be paying for our luggage by the kilo too. It would make everybody pack light, that's for sure...

    Re: QF A380 and EK A380 Joint Sydney Flyover 31 March Well, I certainly would have preferred yesterday's blue skies, but it was was it was. One thing was noticeable above all else. They were very, very, quiet!

    Qantas Flights very slow to post?

    Codeshares are a different story. I had to chase mine and Mrs VC, but Miss VCs points were in a few days after the flight.

    Dual A380 flyover - Sydney on Easter Sunday

    There's a good shooting platform at Mrs Macquaries Chair. If EK is above and to the right of QF I think the money shot is going to be the two aircraft heading East, framed by the SHB and Opera House. From that vantage point, though, it's still quite close. Way too close to use my 70-300 zoom...

    Dual A380 flyover - Sydney on Easter Sunday

    I'm about to head out to Mrs Macquaries Chair for a recce. It seemed to be the best spot to get both the bridge and Opera House in shot. Fort Denison ferries don't start until 1030. That spire in the foreground of Shellthoms roof is a bit of an annoyance, maybe a short ladder would fix that...

    Well, we have a guy at work, who is an ex ATC, who built a replica flight deck (I think 737), and does flight simming. One of the airlines even let him in the real sim.

    Ethernet over power issues

    If your house has a single RCD (residual current device) to protect all the circuits (safety switch) then you can have the network adaptors on different circuits. If you have any sort of filter, like surge protected power board, or individual safety switch/ circuit breakers, it probably wont...

    The aisle seat - is it really that good?

    It's all pros and cons. At least the window means that you are disturbing other PAX on your​ terms, and not theirs I guess if you have a low capacity bladder you would go aisle though. This would imply she sleeps face down. Hmmm Unless of course it's Kate Cerebrano....
