Poor old Cliifford will weigh it up carefully, before and on the day. He has already reserved a Hertz car (corporate rates) but will check the weather forecast and several other things before making a final decision. At the moment, the rental car option is looking good. Anything to thwart those...

HAN is just a much nicer place.

And I can report in about 3 weeks, flying J KUL-MCT-LHR. I've transitted through MCT several times, and haven't been impressed with the WY lounge. Sure, it's all glitter and whatever, but from a food and drink perspective it left me rather underwhelmed. It's also far too brightly lit and open...

I wish him the absolute best of luck.

It would be hard to be CFO and not be involved.

Just another example of how Qantas prioritizes cost over customer safety.

I've never had an op up from Qantas either, but as QF OWE, I've had several from BA out of LHR. In the past I've also been upgraded directly from Y to F by UA on a 3-class transpac (747), and most recently, last year, from J to F on EY (787), based on my VA Platinum status. Not that VA have...

Well, of course, what else would they do? So imposing such a large fine is actually counterproductive as it will hurt the average Australian. No disincentive at all.

Well, OK, I guess from what you say you're not a fan of pets. One example of animals in aircraft cabins I can relate to you, where I had a personal experience of literally sitting next to a large dog on a plane, will possibly make you cringe then. I was on a UA 737 flight to DEN sitting in...

I'd be struggling to understand that. And what about the goldfish bowl syndrome, where all and sundry can gawk at you having your lovely meal?

TI thought the max you could roll over was 100.

It would be nice if there were an integrated backround spell checker. It would likely prevent a lot of fat fingered typos in posts. Virtually every other bulletin board etc has one, so why not AFF.

I hope you enjoyed the smoked salmon that went with it.

Well, that's good business. Obviously Aussies are prepared to pay these "taxes". But not me. Another thing to note with WY, changing planes in MCT can be somewhat of a hassle. WY may be fine in the air, but not so much on the ground. Their boarding "process" is virtually non existent (from...

I think they may get less so in the not too distant future.

Well yes, depending on how discerning you are. Personally I find most if not all the stuff on IFE is not what I want to watch, so I don't bother with it. I'm quite happy to "cook" my laptop for 6+ hours, even without available onboard power (that's a bonus). I enjoy being able to watch a whole...

Well not quite the case in my opinion. As has been mentioned above, Qantas points are very valuable in securing business class seats to/from SE Asia (eg Manila, Jakarta) where one can avail oneself of a cheap but classy J flight to Europe (eg EY, EK, TK, etc). In this way you can indeed get a...

That's Air Asia for you. Gone to the dogs (more) since Covid. In fact they weren't far from the pooches before Covid. An 8 hour delay out of OOL cost me dearly. But that's another story.

I guess you also missed FCO then.
