Good to hear it's all sorted! :) The Santa thing ... honestly I have zero idea, what you'd like makes absolute sense but it's just never occurred to me before! Are they of an age where they'd be satisfied by just going to a shopping centre and sitting in his lap (that's the only...

I find that my employer is pretty lax with forcing annual leave on us … if I keep saying I’ll do something about it “next month” then I can keep kicking that can down the road ‘til I have enough annual leave … and then they’re grateful when I take it.

The published number likely depends on where in the buy vs sell cycle Trump and his minions & puppeteers are at … whether they’re trying to tank the US economy to make things cheaper to buy, or boost it in order to sell at a high-point. But it’s hard to know what their goal is ‘til after...

I know it’s not a valid excuse for them, but in terms of a cause, I think a lot of people have developed ignorance of what’s going-on around them as a coping mechanism … I think it’s become cultural in high density countries (imagine actually NOTICING everything that was going-on with the 30-odd...

But then they’d know … It puts me in mind of when Air New Zealand were wet-leasing an A340 from who-knows-who, and it was flying into Sydney super-frequently, I’m gonna say daily. A340’s were already kinda “dead”, so with zero livery it was a regular weirdburger!

It makes sense! Everything he does & says is a test … failed businesses, dealing with all his lies & criminal activities, all the selling-out of his country, it’s all a test! Back to the topic, my aunt & uncle (she is Strayan, he has a US passport but moved here at about age 5 so has a Strayan...

Exactly why it needs updated livery! 😁

This airline:

Most of my Indian workmates have extremely good English. You pick-up that they're not engineers that've been brought-up in Oz (remembering "I are a engineer") based on style & colloquialisms, not based on speeling & grammar. Apparently the official language of the primary & tertiary education...

They’d need to make more room at your feet … leg & foot room is already dire, I can’t fit more than the size of a folded-up jacket down there with my feet (not that I’d want any of my jackets munted that badly).

… except when flying often enough that the occasional points-transfer offer makes “greener pastures” look enticing. I’ve not spoken with my QF lifetime-gold boss since I semi-retired, but about 2yrs ago he was getting a bit sick of the same-old same-old with QF and was considering moving...

Do dangers that cause a ‘plane on the ground to be evacuated always mean opening all doors & activating the chutes/slides etc? I would assume not, and in such a case, that unless there are stairs at an exit it won’t be opened … ?

I thought we knew how Canberra happened? Walter Burley ‘Peter’ Griffin went on an acid trip with ‘shrooms, and the rest is history .. ?

I think that’s why there’s so much value in getting someone local to recommend. :) As a result of taking visitors on walking-tours of Sydney, and those working out so well ‘cos the people running those tours are so enthusiastic & there’re all this interesting facts etc about the place you live...

You’d want to include a lot of food & eating if going there, wouldn’t you? Probably find locals that can make recommendations, food tours, that sort of stuff? I’m sure there’re a billionty other things to do, which hopefully others will recommend … but that’s so much down my alley it’d be super...

I guess whether it matter depends on what you’re planning on using the free seat for? It took me a while to wonder why you were asking, because I’d really only use a free seat for elbow-room and for not having someone spreading into my seat … but I guess you might raise the armrest (if that’s a...

Cool, now I can take my EV with me in check-in luggage, and not have to rent something!

That looks like a wedding for someone who has only a single friend.

I’ve always assumed an AmEx lounge would be somewhat 2nd-rate … like a SkyTeam lounge in an airport which wasn’t the home of a SkyTeam member. Probably because anyone with an AmEx can get in. Is that an unfair assumption?

Oops, I scrood that up then … I plugged one of the big Euro airports into their site and got a fare, they must’ve code-shared part of the flight!
