800 all economy? You'd be wanting to check yourself in as baggage and let your suitcase ride in the main cabin!

I must admit I was taken by surprise by the reference to "heat stroke". I wondered for a short while if there was another Canberra, in NT perhaps?!

You mean our dedicated, hard working politicians don't work 7 days a week? Well one day a week would be a start!

It was a little while ago that I ate, but even so that was still too recent.:shock: I'm sure that I've sat next to a couple of them before now!

A gun sounds preferable seeing as it is Canberra :mrgreen:

It's a little unexciting isn't it. You could be forgiven for thinking it was "just" a J lounge after visiting the SYD and MEL F lounges. Moet at this time of the day? That's hell of a brekkie!

I was asking the same question here. There's definitely 2, maybe 3 - SYD, LHR and possibly CDG if the AF A380 is around at the same time as the SQ and EK ones.

I guess that is another issue. There is no "F" lounge at BNE - the SQ and QF lounges are just OK rather than sumptuous (I haven't seen the EK lounge), so the people wanting to spend their $$$ on a First Class experience would be a little disappointed when starting out from BNE.

That's never good. Still, it could have been worse - she could have found you fast asleep on the toilet with your trousers around your ankles.:oops:

That's a rather sneaky way of ensuring you don't have to pay out a prize! Not showing for me on IE8, Firefox or Safari

I'm sure that I read somewhere that they were constructing two A380-ready gates. Can't find it quickly, but I'm sure that was the case. Hell of a lot to shell out if there was no prospect of them being used.:oops: TG, was it my imagination or was one of the 3x daily SIN-BNE not cut recently...

Mal, I was thinking of LHR - I thought that QF, SQ and EK operated out of T3 for the moment? So I had imagined that the three could be seen, if not side by side, then more or less in the same place.

On landing at SYD yesterday morning at 0900, there were three visible A380s on the Int side of the airfield - one EK, one SQ and one QF. That got me thinking and hunting (I'm still excited by the sight of an A380 by the way!) to find that there are only 2 (or maybe 3, if the Air France plane...

I must admit, if I went to watch Britney (about as likely as growing an extra leg), then looking at her lip synching skills would be the last thing on my mind :lol:

wxxnxs, I have been given exactly the choice I stated, for the reason that budgets have been slashed. Either fly Y with my choice of carrier (booked from Australia) or fly China Eastern J (booked from China) as there is only a $1500 difference in price. Company policy says J travel on trips of...

It realy depends on whether you really want to stay in the UK (which given you only have a week would seem to be the obvious choice to a non-AFFer :lol:), and what you want to see. For me there are a few attractions worth seeing in London, the Imperial War Museum, the London Eye, Buckingham...

I remember it had Q and P in it's tail number (and thinking that was appropriate) and that there was a fair bit of movement as people prepared to disembark. So not empty, or a repositioning I would have thought.

I couldn't find anything either serfty! It took me a bit by surprise, I was stood there in 27A on a 763, when something larger than your average 737 or 767 loomed large in my window. Had a look, and there was an A330 complete with red rat on the tail to the left of us (I think we docked at...

I was on (a very delayed) QF546 SYD-BNE on Thursday and just as we were waiting to disembark, an A330 pulled up to the gate next to us. I looked at flightstats and BNE arrivals pages, but couldn't find a domestic flight that was supposedly using an A330. Can anyone satisfy my curiosity?

Not necessarily auriga. If the main reasons you would longhaul J is not part of the carrier's offering (such as lie flat seats, enhanced catering, enhanced points earn, lounge access) then some of the incentive to fly them disappears. Now I've not flown MU before, only CA (and the food on...
