Well, OK, I guess from what you say you're not a fan of pets. One example of animals in aircraft cabins I can relate to you, where I had a personal experience of literally sitting next to a large dog on a plane, will possibly make you cringe then. I was on a UA 737 flight to DEN sitting in...

I'd be struggling to understand that. And what about the goldfish bowl syndrome, where all and sundry can gawk at you having your lovely meal?

TI thought the max you could roll over was 100.

It would be nice if there were an integrated backround spell checker. It would likely prevent a lot of fat fingered typos in posts. Virtually every other bulletin board etc has one, so why not AFF.

I hope you enjoyed the smoked salmon that went with it.

Well, that's good business. Obviously Aussies are prepared to pay these "taxes". But not me. Another thing to note with WY, changing planes in MCT can be somewhat of a hassle. WY may be fine in the air, but not so much on the ground. Their boarding "process" is virtually non existent (from...

I think they may get less so in the not too distant future.

Well yes, depending on how discerning you are. Personally I find most if not all the stuff on IFE is not what I want to watch, so I don't bother with it. I'm quite happy to "cook" my laptop for 6+ hours, even without available onboard power (that's a bonus). I enjoy being able to watch a whole...

Well not quite the case in my opinion. As has been mentioned above, Qantas points are very valuable in securing business class seats to/from SE Asia (eg Manila, Jakarta) where one can avail oneself of a cheap but classy J flight to Europe (eg EY, EK, TK, etc). In this way you can indeed get a...

That's Air Asia for you. Gone to the dogs (more) since Covid. In fact they weren't far from the pooches before Covid. An 8 hour delay out of OOL cost me dearly. But that's another story.

I guess you also missed FCO then.

Just don't put your FF No in the booking if you skiplag (or you might have some blowback).

I usually get $65 ex CBR, but always decline, as it's a short flight and I'm in row 3 or 4. I can live without a rushed meal and a drink for an hour or two, especially I can have them before and after in the lounge, if I wish. But otherwise, I can see the value for non-status pax.

My wife, a VA nobody (but UA Plat), unfortunately selected a seat near the rear door when booking the flight, as she expected to be able to enter and exit via the rear stairs. However, she then had knee surgery and was unable to climb multipe steps, so wanted to change to a seat nearer the...

Because they're in the geat minority. Be thankful there's at least one drink for them.

Perhaps you've missed the point that potential visitors might be put off travelling to the US by the (reported) antics of CBP, and thus leave flights less full than airlines might have projected? I know that I (and my extended family) would not dream of flying to the USA at the moment, even to...

I dislike the barn of a place that it is (no class whatsoever, oh, sorry). Similar to Singapore. I'll happily go to the CX lounges or, if in Singapore, the BA or QR lounge.

Wrong. I'll take free pour Suntory whiskey over the VA lounge fare anyday. And the JAL crackers aren't too bad either... And, believe it or not, the JAL lounges are nicer than the ANA lounges. Same whiskey, but less "food".

I think the answer is that there are Accor hotels and Accor hotels. Just don't expect consistency.
