    Experiences with flights BA16 and BA15

    According to the schedules, you'll have a smidge over 90 minutes of connection in SIN. You can depart the gate area; in fact, when you arrive in SIN, you'll be deposited in the normal departure flow outside the gate area. To get back in the gate area and board BA16 to LHR, you'll have to pass...

    A bit of humour

    I'm currently in hospital due to an accident while playing Peek-a-boo. I'm in the ICU.

    A bit of humour

    I was about to propose to my girlfriend when my roommate Joseph barged into the room out of nowhere, tripped, and fell over, breaking a glass table with his face. Totally ruined the mood. Now I don't know Joseph THAT well, don't even remember where he was from, but let's say I put my plans on...

    Qantas Project Sunrise goes ahead, 12 new A350-1000s ordered

    Well, it is (or rather, it maybe) for now. It is the only Australia to Europe non-stop flight for the moment, even if connecting via PER was required. People predict that landscape will shift once Project Sunrise comes into service, but I think it won't disappear quickly since the idea of...

    Qantas Project Sunrise goes ahead, 12 new A350-1000s ordered

    I thought the Perthites may have a lot to say if you take away PER/LHR. Sure, the economics of sustaining the route purely on the dreams of Western Australia and associated tourism (or business/industry) is arguably marginal.....

    Qantas Project Sunrise goes ahead, 12 new A350-1000s ordered

    The other main complaint with QF4 is that you essentially eat three breakfasts 🙂 A continuous flight would manage that better (well, no, it could be better managed now, but ah well). That will be interesting. There aren't a huge number of Y seats on the Sunrise aircraft, but if anything it...

    US Air Travel Issues (Government Shutdown Oct - Nov 2025)

    I'm sort of more surprised that there is flying still proceeding for that matter. I suppose not every ATC is just walking off the job, even if they could. Maybe some think that they will be sacked if they did, or even worse, a la the great ATC strike from many decades ago.

    Qantas Project Sunrise goes ahead, 12 new A350-1000s ordered

    That's an interesting thought. So instead of having to do the whole process of getting ready to land at a stop, disembark, go through security again (after doing all your transit stuff like lounge or use the bathroom), re-embark, wait for cruise and then resume as before, you can dispense all...

    US Air Travel Issues (Government Shutdown Oct - Nov 2025)

    All of USA except Montana is at-will employment. Basically you can get sacked for any reason, even if your boss doesn't like you're breathing today. There are only a few exceptions for at-will dismissal (e.g. discrimination, retaliation, etc.) or where legally bound by an employment contract...

    Qantas Project Sunrise goes ahead, 12 new A350-1000s ordered

    Part of the irony of some of the stops of the days of old was that, on some of them, disembarkation was not required (or didn't happen). I thought I remember taking a TPAC flight on QF one time and we made a stop in NAN, before reaching HNL (before then going onto SFO). I can't remember it...

    Airport security confiscated an empty water bottle

    Well, the vendors would be making a motza (and I guess so would the airport, as a corollary). Especially at SGN where all purchases (airside) are charged in USD (and they damn ain't cheap - I know!).

    Which Android phone next?

    That's kind of the funny thing about it - you look at the specs and you can barely tell the difference. Once you drill down past the surface, you see differences in the makes of the chipsets (CPU, GPU etc.), the UIs, the bloatware you can expect and so on, but unless you understand how subtle...

    Which Android phone next?

    Currently a Samsung S22+ user, coming up to four years now. For those that have bought an Android recently, what did you get? Is there something you know you will be getting for your next phone? Been with Samsung for ages now. Not married to the brand; they just happen to be good for what I...

    Jetstar launches Newcastle to Bali

    That's one very busy 32Q! Nary a breath on either end... delays will have horrid knock on effects there. Guess now they can market NTL will have a SIN connection. Even though it's JQ, I suppose it's only right to celebrate that there is a new route. Not sure what the target market for NTL-SIN...
