Surprised there was no punishment for the High Court decision on the outsourcing. Qantas may have thought they did nothing wrong but the law certainly ascertained they had.

Probably got onto us about the cheap intra-Asia J fares (lowest bucket is Z, which used to earn at standard Business rates).

Welp, party is over. Time to consider the next card. I know people keep talking about them (e.g. Wise, etc.); just need to find all those names again.

Come and get it! 😅

I'm Asian. Notwithstanding a changing emerging generation, food presentation hardly matters for much of Asian food (probably contributed for a long time to non-Asians being rather iffy about even trying it). And while I'd rather want a better view of that dish, it doesn't look completely...

The photo angle isn't very flattering, and neither is the lighting. But the bare leaves that were dropped on top of the fish might be better placed (if they can't be placed well, maybe then under the fish, or a single leaf on top of the fish). I can see some sort of sambal or paste on the fish...

I think it would be a supreme pessimist to think VA would be staring down a bleak or negative outcome for the end of FY25. Outcomes not too surprising. The reputational damage to its rival might have helped a bit. I am interested to see how the fundamental changes to Velocity will pan out; it's...

In Y or J? How bad could it be? One might argue at least you had one to use 🫤

ASP doesn't operate all hours (as far as I can tell, why would it) and has no customs facilities (mostly a guess, can't be far off). I don't trust the Australian government (via Border Force) to permit a plane load of passengers off the aircraft onto Australian territory without formal...

Pray that no one got... well, like you said.... after all the toilets had gone out of commission.

Surely a minimum number of toilets operable is part of the MEL (or at least for a flight this length). If all of them went inoperable, that probably should warrant a diversion unless the destination was incredibly close. VAi blaming limited engineering support at DPS is probably not...

The way I see it is possibly a safely thing that you allude to, maybe a hark back to days when pilots might have commandeered the plane more like a cowboy pilot or in a region where planes / flights were not known to have a good safety record. Maybe it's a "thank you" to the pilots which has...

Clapping on landing seems rather common in Latin America. I know several here are firmly against it and would in fact ridicule or think less of anyone who does (in jest or seriously). I wasn't on the flight, but the QF30 incident that was diverted to Manila. A video showed the cabin all...

You used to / do live in / close to Montreux and Vevey? I was in Lausanne for 15 months. It's definitely a lot easier to explore CH when you're being paid in CHF! Those CHF 49 day tickets from the commune office or post office were also great.

Fair enough, but I did a quick search and there are a bunch of places at even half the price and don't look that bad. Still, understandably expensive. Hope you're thinking of going to the Swiss Transport Museum while you're in Luzern. It's a shame because there are genuinely some great places...

Taking off at any given time of the morning isn't the hard part, it is getting up and getting to the airport that is. For example, catching a 0500 flight means getting up at around 0300 for myself at home, sometimes a bit earlier. The flight ends up being the minor catch up from interrupted...

https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1GL2orwBD8/ Send a message? Yeah right. People may have their opinions about China, and it may sometimes seem like a kangaroo court, but when they want to send a message to those that think they can conduct business unethically, they definitely can. Executives...

For those of us who are tech minded

They say an apple a day keeps the doctor away... ...it certainly does if you can throw it hard enough :)
