    My tourist friend ripped off in Sydney

    Same here, no beard trim though. My wife goes to the hairdresser and it's the GDP of a small African nation.

    My tourist friend ripped off in Sydney

    Good point. Wear gloves before you pick up the housebrick. Don't leave DNA ;) You see, someone gets ripped off by some scumbag, and they have my sympathy. If someone chucked a housebrick through said scumbag's window, I have zero sympathy. Unfortunately, the Law doesnt advocate street...

    My tourist friend ripped off in Sydney

    Go after hours. Take a housebrick with you. I like the spraypaint suggestion though. I don't know if I would try the "anti-spruiking" without backup nearby

    Am I Really So Out of Touch?

    Actually, it sort of reminds me of a reality show I saw one time called the Secret CEO or some crazy thing. It was a USA program. There may be an Australian one but I don't really watch much FTA TV anyway. The premise was they grabbed the CEO (or in this case the Mayor) and disguised him and...

    Is it time to stop whining about LCC's?

    True. but not really comparing apples with apples. A Dash 8 and a 747 are completely different worlds of aircraft. But, I guess if you compared an A380 Y with a run down 747 there would be a bit of difference, especially across airlines.

    Priority luggage, enough is enough.

    First world problem? Not really. There are a good portion of flyer that require priority baggage. If I am jetting in, and on my way home a delay getting my bags is no biggie. No one likes a delay, but everyones bag cant come out instantly. if i get to my car 30 minutes later, so what. But...

    Does annual training count as training? It's no longer a "once off". Good luck!

    Is it time to stop whining about LCC's?

    Or even a plane for that matter. A straight to the point article to be sure. I dont know, but i dont think Ive ever thought of flying ecomony to be elegant. I think if youre flying Y you expect it to be cough. IMO people around here are more likely to complain about premium cabins, which is a...

    Am I Really So Out of Touch?

    Hmmm, what is out of touch? Out of touch with who? Or what? Most execs are pretty much out of touch. If you were the CEO of a high end restaurant chain, then there's a good chance you would be out of touch with the boys in the kitchen. In this case, hitting the kitchen for a few weeks would...

    Train driver reports near miss, with a plane!

    A coal train vs crop duster collision can only have one winner. What, did those guys think they dust crops at a thousand feet?

    Seat map at cinemas

    I normally hit Gold Class, due to same issues as simongr. Occasionally I see one during the day midweek. I was with a friend one time and there were about 6 others in the entire theatre. So we just sat wherever. Then someone comes in late and we were sitting in their seats. And they wanted us...

    Planes (movie)

    I recognize scenes from Top Gun and Behind Enemy Lines. Having a 5 yo daughter, I don't think I'll get the choice to not see it.

    Pre-paid travel cards - AusPost Load&Go card?

    Yes, but you're comparing the exchange rate to other preload cards. Its still lower that the 28 degree card rate. And by the look theres a 999 limit on the prepaid card

    $90 or 11,500 points for exit row

    +1! 11500 points is worth way more that 90 bucks value if used smarter. I would get at least $400 value out of that many points.

    We got a free bottle last year SYD-LAX because they had no duty free on board (I pre-ordered on line). Y+

    Sounds like a crock of s*** to me. Or a crock of frozen s***. Did they thaw it out and smell it? Or DNA test it?
