I like this dish but can't see what the fuss is in a so-called first class lounge, as one can buy a serving that size to cook at home from IGA, Woolworths or other supermarkets for well under A$5. I am no gourmand but even I can see it's hardly haute cuisine.

As one who on occasion can't remember where I put the gardening secateurs, I can empathise.

Are these AFL players typically quiet on these domestic flights or are they somewhat noisy? Do they all travel in whY or are some upgraded to J?

I was in J on an SQ southbound flight to MEL a couple of months ago: almost everyone on my side of the cabin had preordered. Mind you, I didn't finish the Angus steak as this was the 0145 hours departure, and I'd been silly enough to consume food in the T3 J lounge.

Interestingly, Palau, Philippines and Thailand all have a dry season from December to April, or longer. For the latter two, my experience is that February is normally a terrific month to visit: in much of Philippines, for instance, pleasant temperatures and relatively low humidity. In...

Philippines, but you have to be selective: small white sand islands off Port Barton in Palawan are quite good. Panagsama near Moalboal on Cebu Island has the famous 'sardine run', which unfortunately is now very popular. However if you rise early - getting up at 0530 in the tropics seems easy...

Continuing with Thursday 29 January, A388 VH-OQA as QF1 from SYD to SIN and then LHR is delayed in its Sydney departure from 1615 hours to a forecast 1900 hours tonight. Provided it doesn't overstay in Singapore, based on recent flights it should pick up some of the delay en route to London...
