What I'm getting from all of this (not that I needed to) is that it's similar to religion and politics. It seems to me there are those who will never change their minds, come what may, so really the whole discussion is rather pointless IMO. Might be titillating for some though..

Gambling. This is what life has taught me. 35 years ago (or so) I was working in an area where they had a footy (NRL) tipping competition. As you might imagine, I'm not well versed in such things, but I did pay my money on a weekly basis, and then did absolutely nothing, just let it go with the...

Indeed, but then I have almost zero exposure to the share market. Over 40 years ago I struck me that gold might be a worthwhie investment, and so it appears to have been. We shall see. No one can anticipate what the enlightened people allegedly running the USA might do, Thankfully I have no...

I think so, IMO. I find the TK hard product can be OK (not 777 or 330), but sometimes the soft product can be underwhelming (food + personnel). It's not my go to airline, apart from flights in Europe, where they excel in J, against very poor alternatives.

Sounds good to me.

Not to mention that you'd also get One World status thrown in for free. VA is on a loser with this...

As a generalism, thay's fine, but whenever I have a few hours to kill at MNL before I check in I visit the Starbucks on Newport Blvd, near the Savoy hotel. It's an ocean of calm and tranquility (relatively) and the fare isn't too bad at all. And you also have a vague idea of what you're getting...

I hope you enjoy your flight on SV (if indeed you ever do).

Yes, it's not without its aftereffects, but then neither were Rohy's. Caveat emptor (or whatever partaker is in Latin).

You must like mausoleums then.

I imagine that you're assuming now QR are ruling the roost, VA will remain as it is for the foreseeable future. Big assumption, given recession (or worse) possibilities, but in general your thoughts seem to be on the mark.

Now that QR have got their extra flights out of Oz, VA is almost disposable. Who'd have thought it?

Maybe they should just wait and see what happens to VA.

Very true, but it was a little while ago. Meanwhile my doc now prescribes Temtabs (temazepam) which isn't a huge lot different (IMO). Here's an article comparing the two: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/2865746/ Sadly the USA is being hobbled in the production of such learned papers at the...

I think JL's is better (apart from the food), from experience. Better seats, more leg room

Well, back to the topic in question. I rarely if ever get jetlag, and I never take any particular precautions (as variously discussed above). However, I do partake of the odd glass of alcohol before and during the flight, and if desperate, the odd rohypnol tab. The effects of what I have taken...

Of course, but it always is, no matter what the scenario.

I've had a similar experience at LST, when trying to get to Longford, after arriving on the last QF flight of the day (around 21:00). Took a cab in the end, as the Uber quotes were getting very silly.

FWIW, I did read earlier today that Saudi Arabia had a very high level of executions last year. Of course, not in any way relevant, but I don't want to support that kind of regime. What others do is their business.

Can I ask why you didn't just book directly with TrenItalia? I've always found their website to be quite navigable in English.
