    CBR begins the long hot summer with no rain but we don't have climate change get together 04 December 2019

    For a moment or two I thought you meant Cobar, but southerners only of course. I think of Canberra as CB (YSCB) in ICAO speak. It works moderately well, even as you sleep or have another glass of champagne, but you may care to reflect that very little of Australia's aviation heritage has...

    Uluru in the summer - planning my first visit

    It's still Ayers' Rock. It was when I went there in November 2002 and it still is, although some use a different name. "A couple of years old" eh? Try a few decades. "Impossible to have done it 20 years ago" eh Karen? Not at all close; we went to the field of light dinner in November 2002...

    So... what car do you guys drive when not flying?

    Was a Monara GTS 327, new, in March 1969, preceded by two Cooper Ss in 1967 and 1968. Those were when the Bathurst race was the Armstrong 500, and was a genuine touring car race. Where were you in the sixties? Anyone?

    Can a Business class PAX visit economy class on a Qantas long haul flight?

    I hope not. In cattle class, the distractions are so many, the last thing you need is someone from Biz adding to the cacophony. And the second-last thing you need in Biz is the person from Biz returning to his or her seat just when you were finally nodding off. So, John, don't do it.

    Voluntary flight bump

    I think you'll find that the Broncos are playing in Sydney this weekend, so there's no point in flying to Brisbane. Some other time.

    Concern over 1 hour transfer time in Sydney from Domestic to International?

    Sydney Airport is truly appalling, if you want to are forced to go there, and transfer from the domestic terminal to the international on the other side of the aerodrome. The OP could fly from BNE to LAX directly and save several hours, so must have a good reason for going via Sydney, but if...

    Should Qantas open more award seats to Points Club members?

    Disagree. At last - and at least - Qantas is trying to do something about points versus status credits, and good on them. You - or your company - may have spent a lot of money amassing your status credits, but you dismiss those who have also spent a great deal of money in other ways, which...
