Many thanks, just downloaded the Sydney guide.

Good post, yep, they earn their dosh no doubt.

As an (almost) semi regular traveller to PNG, nothing surprises me. A totally corrupt country.

If you could pass some of that luck this way it would be appreciated!;)

If, not when...:D

QF like to gouge as many as possible. I say this as a former employee. However, most large companies do the same for the sake of their shareholders, (definitely not their customers). Having said this, I still continue to (almost exclusively) fly with QF as they are a good airline, IMHO.

I love lunging around....:D:D

Fair enough. I do make a blanket claim occasionally after my wife steals aforementioned article.:D As for allergies etc, it's a huge topic but each person has to make their own minds on it, obviously. My (22yo) son has a massive reaction to egg yolk. Two professional doctors/allergy specialists...

You've never said a truer word. I must have a weak system or something, but it's not worth the consequences if I eat processed meat (sausages, bacon, silverside etc) as they are chock full of sodium nitrite which adversely effects my lungs. (I've had 5 serious bouts of pneumonia over the years...

I don't watch television, fullstop. My only evidence is anecdotal but it comes from yours truly. I eat/drink this stuff and my joints seize up. I've tried this many, many times and the outcome is always the same. Of course, this may be just me. I may have a strange body!:D In any case, I think...

Johnny, it can be frightening to learn what they put in food these days. I ate a crumpet this morning for breakfast - it contains 282 (a seriously bad preservative) and 234, supposedly an antibiotic preservative. As for the Coke derivatives, not for me. I suppose at my age it doesn't matter, but...

1. Professional yet friendly trolley dolleys, sorry, flight attendants (:)) are becoming very hard to find. A good FA can make a lousy, cheap, long, delayed flight seem bearable. 2.Plenty of Swiss chocolate also helps.

I drink about 2 cans of (real) coke a year. I can't stand any diet drinks as they are full of chemicals, so water or Madura tea is my staple.

Like putting maple syrup on sausages!;)

They were Yanks.:)

This I also understand. I use absolute el cheapo fares whenever possible (as they all come out of my own pocket) and F class pax are entitled to all the prompt service they require.

I understand. There was a dedicated J class counter with 1 staff member, and of course F class with several staff. Every time the J class counter seemed empty, another pesky business class customer would rock up!:) We were ignored by the first class check in staff, but this didn't bother me...

This is most probably pretty close to the mark.

Who knows? Budget cuts are just that I suppose, and are part and parcel of the ever more greedy corporate sector. At least the NAB gives out free biros to anyone who wants one...:)

9.30am Monday morning.
