Naturally, all of these are my opinions and are quite general. The more natural light an airport has, the better. Higher ceilings / atriums and better design for large passages, cf. lower ceilings and rabbit warren like pathing. A transition from landside to airside that doesn't force you...

Kind of reminds me of the classic line: Do you have a nut loose at the wheel?

I actually forgot about this; not that I often drink any alcohol at all in the morning. I used to order the odd mimosa here and there many years ago; the crew made a point of putting a couple of mini bottles of sparkling on the trolley to make it clear it was available. Eh, if you can have it...

Alright! Finally registered properly. Will be arriving on Friday on QF1273 dep BNE 1655 arr MEL 2020. Unfortunately, have to put in a full day at work, so that along with daylight savings means I can't come earlier and join for the Friday reception. Departing on Sunday on QF1278 dep MEL 2105...

I thought it'd be hard to have really blinding headlights like now decades ago when LEDs were not very common at all, unless you specifically had fog lamps or something installed. Yes, there was hi-beam, but hi-beam bulbs are pretty much matched by the common LED these days.

People drive with hi-beam up. Illegal in most circumstances, but do they care? Ridiculous. LEDs are much more intense than old type bulbs. Combined with possibly different light orientations compared to older cars and yes, they can be rather blinding when driving head on. Many headlights now...

For those of you who know The Simpsons and are following the BOM's... well, bomb.... of a website...

Been like that for a very long time. Even in restaurants on the ground, desserts in bowls or glasses are very simple to serve and present. Instantly portioned (cf. slicing a cake), carries well, e.g. won't dry out, and presentation is near impossible to stuff up. I guess if I had to choose...

That's a chameleon with some mad skills!! :)

Seems very difficult to get a pizza in a box correct, unless you go light on the cheese (and then don't rock the boxes once they are hot). Cheese, pesto and a dough base normally is a great taste combination (maybe a salty one), but I wouldn't expect a good pizza (i.e. good crust).

Tasty enough? For curiosity sake, a typical Four and Twenty meat pie is 175 g (according to sources). A party pie is approximately 50 g.

That would be an interesting idea for a breakfast service (on QF, too). I don't know how many people in Australia would be into a typical European breakfast of cold cuts and warm pastries (croissants, danishes, bread), but with enough variety of pastries and if the typical pax chooses 2-4, some...

French toast? I notice you said "option" - there was only that choice?

I remember when many of the dessert cakes on J trays were from Manna from Heaven. Looks like they managed to eke back in on a contract.

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)
