    Qantas Business Class meals & menus

    The interesting part here will be how to serve that many more people on a single aisle configuration. At least with twin aisle you can roll one cart per aisle. Maybe if they have two people, both have separate carts, and one can plate the main on the tray, while the one behind offers drinks and...

    Qantas Business Class meals & menus

    For whatever it's worth, unless the meal is prepared a la minute (i.e. cooked to order from scratch), 1 dish per minute is a very, very slow delivery time. I think a rough guide for a restaurant is that no customer should be waiting more than 10 minutes for the next course after they finish...

    Combining baggage allowances for 2 passengers when checking in together

    What was your experience? Same booking and didn't let you pool allowance? That bites. Honest told, I don't know if this is something written into baggage policies or just a courtesy. In decades gone by, it used to be nearly universal to allow pooling of allowances. Even strangers on the same...

    A bit of humour

    It takes 5 minutes for me to walk from home to the pub, but it takes 30 minutes from pub to home. The difference is staggering. 😀

    The lithium battery problem has hit Australia - fire on Domestic Flight

    The proliferation of battery banks was well and truly after scares of low quality, dangerous phone batteries; see Samsung Galaxy Note 7. If it seemed so easy that a good phone battery should lead on that a good battery bank is easy to produce, then I guess we're not seeing it. Part of it, of...

    Virgin Australia Business Class - Meals, Menus & Service

    Seen that rice so many times now, not just this dish. What's in it? Looks like pepitas and some sort of leaf (not spinach)... is the rice flavoured?

    Major changes to Velocity Frequent Flyer announced 17/10/24

    For those of us playing the status game (to make it worth it, i.e. get and be able to use it, and not from a cold start), some QF J fares, if bought in advance long enough, work out quite reasonably in terms of $ per SC. If you had to take that trip anyway, it isn't so ridiculous to pay QF J for...

    Grammar Discussions

    Technically no, but it is almost always lumped together, except spelling errors should be largely easier to avoid compared to grammar ones. No, pronunciation is not a grammar mistake - that's a whole different kettle of fish. Unless speech-to-text goes a whole lot more mainstream.

    NAB acquires Citibank Australia

    That's a good idea, and I already have one of those.

    Is the Australian Landing Card Still Necessary in the Written Form?

    Trust me to forget that AFF likely has one of the highest concentrations of digitally literate elderly people in society.

    Is the Australian Landing Card Still Necessary in the Written Form?

    Once again, most commendable that you are keeping with technology. I wonder how well the customs questions translate via Google Translate, especially in offline mode. Remember that there are penalties for lying on the ICP (yes, you could argue to just tick 'yes' if not sure at all); I think...

    Is the Australian Landing Card Still Necessary in the Written Form?

    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...

    Major changes to Velocity Frequent Flyer announced 17/10/24

    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...

    No Light Rail to Gold Coast Airport

    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...
