Air New Zealand | Woman kicked off flight over toddler Mother and children removed from flight. They say as he was not strapped in. She say"s "they never told me that". But, at least they had a quiet flight. The rest of the PAX that is.

Firstly, you are going to have to get rid of the dining room table, then jam all the chairs into the laundry (if it's small enough, you don't want too much room) and get everyone a tray table of some description. Use the flimsiest plastic cutlery available. Or, just hand out bottles of water...

Re: Airbus Foregoes Lithium Makes an engine outage at night a bit tricky, although windmilling engines can still run generators. But what of a multiple generator failure? I'm assuming the avionics would require a battery back up. And with the electric jets, once the electricity runs out...

And then turn the seating longitudinal (C130 style). Very cosy. Then try doing it with a field pack on your lap. :)

So here's 3 questions: If QF are offering free flights to attend (for winners), are they also including airport transfers? If QF ARE offering transfers, are they offering "transfers" for Sydney-siders? And if not. Why not? And, They aren't my actual ​questions :)

As we're doing a cruise this Christmas, I've been doing a bit of reading on the Cruise Critic forum. There's a bit of talk about "which side of the ship" to take full advantage of sunsets, sunrises, views etc. Maybe applicable on a one way cruise, but if you're turning around halfway, it's all...

If you don't have a low-range box you certainly need auto for the torque multiplying effect. What with electronic traction control and hill descent and the myriad of other features, manual is ancient history.

Yes, what NM said. The mechanised baggage system at large airports is not kind to luggage. You have to expect luggage to get beaten around a bit. Maybe some Leather Wipes (an Amorall product) would clean it up and help protect it.

How does that compare to volunteering to BE sick (or injured) like an Emergency Services airport exercise? Personally, I would want no part of either..

Well, as our daughter is too young to dive, dive destinations are out of the question. That said, as soon as she's old enough we're back in! I would like to see some of the WW2 (where my grandfather fought) or 'Nam destinations, but again, will wait until she is old enough to know the history...

I agree. Not that we've dived since the birth of Miss VC (now 5). But as soon as she's snorkelling we'll be back at it. And needing MAX BAGGAGE!! One time (domestically) we did take the lot (weights and all). It looked like a travelling circus. I could get my carry on to weigh 20kg Too...

I cant find a AP price to USA for that, is that through AP's website?

I like the photos of the suitcase idea. I'm using that one! Err, how does a 240V kettle work if you're in a 110V country? Vice versa can be even more entertaining! I'm a list guy. Microsoft Excel is my friend. Itinerary tab, what to take tab, status and FF tab, costs tab. As far a "travel...

:shock: ooooookay

I know all about carrying massive amounts or stuff, as we don't travel light, and always as a trio. My daughter always wants to take all her toys (we would need a freight plane for that), but she has never wanted to take any fish.

How do the PAX get from the Terminal to the Concourses?

That never gets old. I saw one that was a parody of my industry, sooo funny. Hell, I'd risk crosswind, an ice storm, and a two-engine-out MTOW take off to get away from the MIL. :D

An 11 hour layover would give you enough time to go indoor skiing in Dubai!

And don't mention this to the government. Someone might think that it's actually viable.

What if they made the terminal with big drive through bays? Drive in, drive out. DIDO for a quick pick up of the FIFOs. They would save heaps on tugs. They could integrate de-ice and plane washing into the building. Ground crews (and your luggage) would be undercover. It's win win really.
