This is where I'd ask for a side of bread, since that acidified oil would be nice to have a bit of a dip in.

If you believe that's the be all and end all of the comparison.

From what I can see from the seat map, the A321 needs five cabin crew? I think, as already highlighted, one of the other main concerns will be service. Seems the team is not quite up to speed (pun intended) on working the cabin, especially in Economy, but put that aside it's still a big ask...

Let's take a more pragmatic view of this. The only thing absolutely worth conceding here is that the toilet ratio is worse for Economy passengers. That's it. Is it actually worse for Y passengers? What are the effects - people wait longer, toilets are on average smellier, increase of risk of...

It's blowing up heaps on social media. Many of them comparing to JQ et al (i.e. LCCs where any toilets can be used by any passenger), lots toeing the "Business fat cats getting their private toilet while everyone in Economy getting utterly <insert word here>" line. The prospect of waiting a...

Interesting - basically it only applies to flights where $ are used to determine the SCs. A $500 Business flight yields 125 SC rather than 42 SC.

I think you can fly VA marketed codeshare flights and they are treated the same as if VA was flying. I thought that was the whole point. So you could fly VA marketed UA operated flights and it counts as if you flew VA anyway. Same with the QR wet lease flights - in fact, these are even closer -...

I like to set up multiple alarms and a timer, sometimes two timers: one timer is set to go off a few minutes after my first alarm, and another is when check-in closes or boarding starts (depending on the situation). The first timer is designed to be a backup to the alarm: it sounds different and...

There's @FlyingKangaroo 's bread 🙂 So they only have them on long services....

So they charge you for something that the other surgery needs but they can hold onto just to make some more money. Yes I get someone has to be paid for the time to collect those records and do the sending. It probably costs $30 to do so, but wow. Next, they'll charge you $30 to pass on and add...

Why would they take it away if Master TC was there? If your personal belongings also went, did you get them back easily?

The Facebook post by The Guardian had an interesting set of headline pictures: Now there's a few ways to look at this. First of all, the three carriers they mention are all LCCs but, more specifically, have Y only cabins. There's no restriction if anyone on those airlines wants to use the...

VA almost always seems to have an option to add meat to the vego dish, e.g. a cheese tortellini but with optional chicken that can be added. Can't remember the last time someone said there was a cheese plate offered on VA J in the relevant thread, especially because VA throw in the cursory...

Not my flight, but I saw this on Facebook, and it's the J meal for a SIN/KUL flight. This isn't a dig - SIN/KUL is incredibly short, similar to SYD/CBR, except operated with a widebody with many more passengers- just wanted to share it here out of interest. I think I heard previously it's been...

Bak chor mee normally has a sauce that is based on, amongst possibly other things, fish sauce and/or shrimp paste. So that might explain the fishy smell. How hard is hard? Many noodles (not all) should be served al dente, just like most good pasta, and bak chor mee noodles aren't an exception...

WCMO... "As you take your seat, please place your larger bag in the overhead bin and then turn it around to occupy less space." We're on an aircraft where the largest regulation carry on, which most have, doesn't fit in the locker with the short side facing out (it can go in, but the locker...

QF1967 BNE-NTL dep 1855 op Alliance a/c E90 Some interesting bits and pieces to start this flight (aside from the comical lounge announcements - see Member Chit Chat posts around this date). First, we got a bus gate (aka when priority boarding often dissolves as a benefit) to quite a far...

A hoodied man bursts into a store and points a branch at the clerk. "Alright! This is a stick up!"

If they went down the "safety" route, then I'd reckon it could (also) be: (a) a warped form of what we know as RSA in Australia, realistic or not; and/or (b) limiting your consumption to save money per passenger (e.g. some Priority Pass lounges limit consumption - or "complimentary consumption"...

Seems weird to do so, especially when there are no prices (assuming you're not ordering from a cash bar). Guess it's still $1 per drink? Still, that's no reason to be refused service. Maybe cold service, slow service or preferred last in a crowd service (which ironically reduces the chance of a...
