Is that a Pied Butcher Bird? They have the most beautiful voice.

But Pushka shouldn't the real question be "but does it spark joy"? :p :p

There was a similar incident involving dress standards on Jetstar over a woman wearing a top which revealved a bare midriff which wasn't as skimpy as the one worn in the Thomas Cook incident. Reading between the lines it sounds like there may have been a couple of other factors at play with...

Although it's become more easy for some eg NB or PS who are tall as getting an exit seat when they were free could've been problematic as often exits rows would only show available to SG, WP etc. Even though I don't necessarily agree with charging for exit rows as it should be about safety more...

Hmmm now to decide who to credit the NH flights to. SQ KF as long as the miles given are on par with other options. www.wheretocredit.com

The ADL QP make up some lattes ready for pax once the doors open at 0500. I've had a couple of 0600 departures and seen this on both occasions.

HA seats using VA points need to be booked over the phone with VA. I've done this several times with no dramas. HA award seats in whY are booked in 'T' class and J is 'D' class although only ever travelled down the back end of the HA bus on points. It's probably worth calling VA first to get the...

I wouldn't be booking one way QF award tickets ex HNL (or anywhere else ex the USA for that matter) as the carrier surcharges are more than double the ex AU one way tickets. Have you got any VA points or credit card points that can be swept across to Velocity? The carrier charges for VA partner...

As long as you don't select the 'Qantas Business Lounge Melbourne' thinking it says Brisbane as you'll be in BNE and your coffee will be ready in MEL!

It's a shame Boeing didn't retain their manufacturing jigs that were used to produce the 717 fearing that it would have an adverse affect on 737 sales.

I guess it depends who your friend was working for. If they were employed by Core Aviation who currently do heavy maintenance then they'd be looking for a new job but if they were employed by Sigma they'd be okay as they do the line maintenance. I believe there's a couple of people in CBR...

Plus NY Fashion Week, US Open, 9/11 anniversary.

It's possible this so-called 'staff pass' is really just a regular lounge pass the staff member earned as a reward for positive customer feedback? If it's got their name on it to be used by them only obviously you wouldn't do it as lounges overseas almost always ask for your boarding pass in...

SYD-MEL on a 738 in J row 1 is a bulkhead row but not an exit row. If you were in an exit row in whY and had done OLCI or mobile checkin sometimes staff have to acknowlege that you are suitable for the exit row or you'll get the dreaded beep at the gate. Once the GA has acklowledged and cleared...

The Georgian writing looks interesting and totally different from the cyrillic alphabet seen elsewhere in your travels on this journey. Looks more like signs you'd see in Sri Lanka or Myanmar.

Glad you've got it sorted. Don't forget to pre-allocate your seating on all the flights so you can cherry pick the best ones. What dates are you in each city? I'll go through my previous trips to HNL & NYC for some ideas. Have you booked your hotel in NYC yet?

What was a paid fare? Be interesting to know what Alaska Miles would've cost.

Your best bet if he has to take 70 kilos is shipping the excess of the 40 kilos J allowance is the best bet as excess rates per kilo can be AUD60.00 to AUD80.00 per kilo! I believe MU give Y pax 2 @ 23 kgs & J 2 @ 32 kgs but that's generally on 100% MU itineraries so no mixed carriage. Heavy...

What's this ad for? She doesn't look like a happy camper but then again Russians aren't exactly famous for smiling.

I bet even you applauded when you landed on that flight!
