I wonder theoretically how many more flights would Qantas need to operate for this kind of reality to exist today? I know the answer is, "way too many," but I'm still curious. Qantas is in no position whatsoever to operate that many flights, let alone half of them, but that means either we...

A buddy invited me to his workshop, "How would you like to learn how to tie two ropes together?" I said, "Why not...." :)

I have to admit after reading your comment, how is it different to the reverse herringbone (not called the "coffin seats") which most people agree is a baseline acceptable product, and is supposed to have a minimum OK window view? CX, of course, have plenty of these reverse herringbone seats as...

I've changed workplaces since we last met. No longer walking distance any more!

I'm in! Just need to work out parking (or public transport)

For the IT nerds amongst us

Air T Rex? :)

Might be a bit off topic here, but the part that annoys me about VA is that if you don't have enough points for a points-only redemption, you can't get this far. This is even if you intend to pay the maximum allowable in cash (i.e. reducing the points required to whatever you are able to...

I was guessing it may be part of the chicken broth that has mixed in with the chilli (e.g. the broth was ladelled on top), causing it to turn that colour. While there are a few variations of chicken rice, traditionally it is served as rice (sometimes plain, sometimes flavoured), white cut...

Have never been to either of those. People say many good things about Donna Chang.

What an odd condition to put on something like this... using a voucher or discount code? Cathay has had a number of sales recently, including for premium classes, or just for lounge access on a ferry transfer to/from the Greater Bay Area cities. So participating in one of those nukes the 24...

Here's a couple of trip reports with reviews: https://thepointsguy.com/airline/skycouch-air-new-zealand/ https://www.bloggeratlarge.com/air-new-zealand-premium-economy-v-skycouch-review/ Overall, I think people see Skycouch favourably, as there is a tangible possibility to lay flat, but...

Aren't all battery banks travelling from Chinese ports subject to the 3C certification check? I know that doesn't guarantee quality, but that's what the authorities wanted to believe. Then this happens. I wonder if the passenger who owns the bank will be arrested.

They did a very long time ago (viz. Borghetti years). Guess that was part of their saving dollars and not seeing that it created a huge point of difference with the competition. Probably not helping in a time now that people just abandon them, or in some cases (pun intended) they are only...

That seems to be the gist of whatever part of the article is available, viz. "prioritising top tier members". I didn't know the mid-tier benefits were of tangible benefit to lower tier members.

To pull things back on topic, let's go back to opining on the effect this policy will have. It's actually pretty tempting to think nothing will happen, especially nothing too adverse against VA. Why should a subtle cut in the cabin luggage allowance, even with active enforcement, dissuade any...

I'd go with visual, thrown in with a bit of along the lines of the same stereotyping that gets some people a second or third look by security screening or border control staff. Maybe they won't weigh 300 pax worth of cabin baggage, but that could well be because doing so is exhausting -...

Airlines seem to struggle making a name for new higher statuses - Platinum One, Platinum Plus, and now Diamond Exec (not even Executive). One symptom of this sometimes is that what used to be top tier, e.g. CX Diamond here, will start to feel sidelined (no doubt QF has experienced this to a...

When I last stayed at the Doubletree CNS, they have continental and full buffet breakfasts available. I get free continental being a Gold, which was acknowledged at the front counter (and an upsell was offered for the full buffet, but I declined). The hot buffet items are placed in one area. It...
