A 2018 BEA report concluded the crash had been caused by a fire on board the aircraft upon analysis of black box data, but stopped short of establishing a specific reason as to why the fire was ignited. But a new report, which was sent to a Parisian court last month at the request of French...

If you're on this forum you might be interested in trying this aviation-themed quiz. To my layman's eye it seemed quite well put together, but I'd be interested as to what the professionals among us think of it. I scored 139/530 which, fairly accurately (pre-Covid anyway), classified me as a...

My first flight, in 1972, was on a discounted student fare with KLM. I had thought they'd become redundant since deregulation and the proliferation of LCCs.

They go to live on a farm.

When I worked FIFO, being given a 'window seat' was code for being booted off site. Akin to a footballer taking an 'early shower'.

Or, given the numbers were previously 'skyrocketing', then 'going through the roof' would actually be a sharp fall.

Is that the MEL Park Royal in the background?

A few years ago, during a DSC promo, I booked 38 trips over a weekend, comprising 100+ flights. Mostly on behalf of FIFO colleagues, though I did squeeze in a few for myself.

Montreux, so Lake Geneva? 1635854968 RF1: Is that a Canadian maple leaf on the sign under the fake palm tree? That would narrow it down.

I called last month to get the annual fee waived and happened to enquire about switching from Qantas rewards to Diners. They said that couldn't be done and would require starting a new application from scratch. I didn't take it any further, but it suggests that the plain card is still available.
