Interesting how they put the dust on the side like that. I suppose if they went straight on top, the porcini would be lost. A very Chinese preparation of lobster there. Hope it didn't break the bank!

I don't mind it at all. Yes, they took out all the flair. This is as straightforward as it gets since the old "Subtly" video series, but more natural (oddly enough) and flowing. Kinda oddly refreshing to see features of the cabin actually shown in... well, the cabin. The AI passengers are a...

Can relate. I only made one solid booking last night. I would have made some other ones, but the particular subsystem kicked itself and kept erroring out when I clicked to pay. The last booking I made, I hit the pay button at 2359 and I saw the confirmation page at 2359. But when I got my...

Interesting how safety demo video concepts come full circle in a way, though in a not so... subtle... way. Amazing would probably be on any of my playlists and I do like the song; would be very comfortable hearing it a few times a day. The melody itself is pretty cool but there's a bit of me...

A bit O/T... My understanding is that the last stations of the IST airport (new one) metro line is closer or in the business district(s). But not great for tourists; it does take 2 or more changes to get from the terminus to the Blue Mosque / Hagia Sophia, for example. Connecting the lines...

I haven't seen it yet, but do they still: Forget to tell people to remove face coverings before putting the oxygen mask on? "There's a red tag and mouthpiece for inflation", rather than simply telling you what to do with those things? Is it a trend worldwide? I haven't really noticed it as...

An important part of learning to drive is the rules of the road but it also includes a very important lesson: You may be right, but you can also be dead right. A lesson taught to me by my father many years ago during and after my driving formation and probationary years, it's the key reason why...

Don't think most people usually have quiches for breakfast. Yes it has eggs, but something with eggs doesn't mean it's breakfast. The pumpkin would exclude it being eaten by a decent portion of AFF. I don't mind the combination of flavours myself. They did have a meat pie some time ago - some...

Let's play a game: which city will get a proper airport to city centre rail link first: Melbourne (Tullamarine) Los Angeles Manila (NAIA or any of the two new airport sites) I'd add Western Sydney to that list too, but that's not fair - the WSI planners (I believe, or probably) got their...

WCMO is spilling half a tub of grated Parmesan while retrieving it from the fridge, resulting in using the dust pan, small vacuum cleaner and rags, plus taking out two vegetable crisper drawers and clearing the bottom shelf in order to clean out little dots of Parmesan. I'm certain I haven't...

Depends on the capacity of a train and how often it will be going. I'd be curious if the rail link uses standard rolling stock or dedicated ones that might be tailored for airport use, i.e. baggage racks and/or baggage nooks, perhaps seating along the wall rather than rows of seats in order to...

That's a failure all around, through and through. I get it that mobility assistance can sometimes be overwhelmed, and I doubt that Australia has suddenly grown a bunch of miracle passengers unlike in the US, but obviously communication was pretty poor (it's always communication, isn't it?)...

Shrove Tuesday joke: Someone just demanded that I cook up 100 pancakes pronto. I flipped out. 🙂

The best carriers offering non-alcoholic alternatives are the Middle Eastern carriers.... which maybe shouldn't come as a complete surprise as strict Muslims abstain from alcohol. A range of fruit juices, non-alcoholic grape juice (intended to imitate wine by including some acidity), wide...

All passes have now been given away (recipients have been contacted by DM). Thank you!

I have 3 x Complimentary Lounge Invitations (2 from Points Club and 1 from Silver). Expires 1 Mar 2026. Free to good home. Should add: while I won't restrict based on active status or not, can J please ask all recipients to pay one forward (not literally a lounge pass - just do a nice favour...

The thing is, once you start travelling quite a bit, hotel buffets all start to look much the same. One thing that the Western world has definitely exported to all corners of the globe is the standard hot Western breakfast of eggs, bacon/ham/sausages and toast. We've all seen it... so if that's...

Sure it's not a serious problem, and it equally should have a quick, simple and easy resolution to get rid of it and have a much more pleasant arrival experience. Even legitimising punching scammers in the face would be a very simple and effective solution. OK, jokes aside. So where do we draw...
