Well, didn't mean to be ageist, so sorry. The couple I had spotted were not apt with technology as they were barely using their translator (it's one of those reworked smartphone inventions from China which has built in dictionary and a handy ability to take a photo of text to then translate it...

Temporary stall? Sure, but then you keep on moving when you're ready 😂 Now as for the aerotrain....

You're making a long term bet that VA will meet some sort of fiscal demise. By that time, the Americans would have flogged off VA and maybe still counting the money. Let's not forget VA would be dead if not convincing said American mob to take a chance on saving the airlines. Could always...

This isn't surprising. The mandate of the government was to cut costs and capital projects were always going to be on the cards, save for the Olympics where they just had to be savage and force a decision rather than more feasibility studies. The consultation report (yes, NIMBYs) was likely an...

Interesting, red with chicken. :D Just kidding, I get it.

Tomato relish (not sauce) would go OK with this. Mint yoghurt sauce or sweet tamarind would go well. But I'd reckon they'd be harder to source. A chutney would also go rather well. Once again, probably not easy to source.

My last flight into AU was on CX. I sat in the second Y cabin and while I got an IPC, they ran out of them about 2 rows behind me. Since they hand them out starting at the first row of each cabin, about 40% of Y did not receive an IPC to fill in on the flight. Most would have had no choice but...

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...
