    Alan Joyce writing a memoir

    I guess Jayne Hrdlicka is another. Probably pulled up to $100m in her time at Virgin, not to mention millions before that job, and now is going to run Dan Murphys. Now if I had a few hundred million, you know you only live once, spend that last 30-40 years living life.

    Car Rental Tips

    They do. Especially the older non frequently traveled. My old folks booked a car hire for the exact same place for a week was like $1500. I naturally had a heart attack, canceled it, added a promo code and cut $1000 off.

    Crazy Expensive Xmas Direct fares to Japan

    Not only peak season, but there is a surge in interest for Japan at the moment, not sure how much longer that will go on for but it’s biting pricing in peak. I think half the office has been to Japan in the last year or two. Cycle back last decade it was nobody. If you can get positioned to SIN...

    Best Hotel you have stayed!!!

    Mt Mulligan Lodge (few hundred km west of Cairns) . Helicopter flew in from Cairns Airport. Got it on a post Covid deal, price is many times that now. Met some new friends there which was a plus. One of those luxury outback resorts you could say. Probably a standout experience in our life to...

    Virgin Australia Boeing 737 Max 8

    The only real notable differences is bigger (and lower- watch your head) overhead bins, engine noise is different, and that new plane smell. You will only really notice the difference when flying a non BSI/Old Seats 737. That’s when you appreciate the new kit. The old old 737s have those tube...

    Virgin Australia Boeing 737 Max 8

    I feel like it’s due to the poor range and fleet complexity issues. -9 would only be a domestic fleet, so might as well just wait for the -10. The -10 has been designed for capacity purposes on shorter missions. Its range isn’t great and I would need to check, but I believe it’s worse compared...

    Virgin and Qantas to ban power bank use

    I thought some have been in lockers and not in use when caught fire. Access to charging isn’t as challenging as it was 10-20 years ago. Just be done with the things.
