    Ask The Pilot

    Obviously they were given line up clearance and what we cannot see is what’s on approach. There would be no wake turbulence issues, maybe a bit of jet blast at most. We don’t have ATC audio, maybe the A350 was given a line up, expect expedited departure clearance, or just a simple A320...

    Ask The Pilot

    ATCOs need to be across them as part of their sector rating like the back of their hand.. Each MVA chart contains sectors large enough to accommodate the vectoring of aircraft within the sector at the MVA. Each sector boundary is at least 3 miles from the obstruction used to determine the MVA in...

    Australia to Europe from $684 return

    MU and CZ seem quite adept at filling planes (except for Japan flights at present), with prices fluctuating almost as much as a Cairns Airport Uber booking! Start high and go low seems to be common.

    China Advice

    Regular china traveller so let me clear up a few things. Firstly didi app works fine, so long as you use the Chinese version not aus one. Re eSIM, you don’t need to get a HK based SIM, mainland ones work fine with exactly the same access. If you do get a hong kong one you need to do some extra...

    Hilton Price Match Guarantee

    A hotel program should not be judged on its BRG, firstly does it have properties where you travel and what are the east of earn/burn. BRG is a gimmick at best, it was good when there were a lot less rules, we had one member who used it with another chain to get free suite stays but his self...

    QantasLink Airbus A220 Discussion

    No real woes as such, they own their planes etc, however the folk who worked out the QF contract took an optimistic view on opex being the same as post covid and the parts shortages blew that out of the water. As a result they are trying to renegotiate the deal. I suspect Qantas could quite...
