Old, and maybe sensationalist news. But the Iranians do seem to have taken rather a dislike to Qatar, based on what seems to be happening.

When I last looked at FR24 a couple of hours ago there was quite a lot of activity around DXB. including a couple of Aeroflot flights. Almost looked like business as usual. So what's actually happening and what we're being told don't really seem to gel.

The best retirement (non) planning is to have a partner who dies in service with the NSW Govt or a university (Unisuper). Ask me how I know. Personal experience, more than once. It's not something you'd wish on anyone, but it can set up the surviving partner for life.

So what traffic are you currently seeing in the Gulf of Hormuz?

All I can think of here is the treatment Dr Dao received. Be careful what you wish for with UA.

Yeah, I find the SYD FCL to be very hit and miss. Seems to depend on the quality of the latest recruits, who only seem to stay for a short while. I wonder why that is?

I can't see it being a successfull venture (just my take). And yes, I have been to Papeete many times.

Never had a problem getting one, but that was a few years ago. And they are very nice...

This is not going to resoved, full stop. Airlines may fly, but now with a little risk.

It actually seems surprisingly good. For the price.

You may or may not be right. But at least you know what you are doing. I truly hope my EY flight in 3 weeks is cancelled, so I can get on with my life. Note to self: avoid ME in future (similar to my note to avoid the Americas). I guess I'll be holidaying in Merimbula for a little while, then.

It's going up. The new world order.

Whys is the MKY refresh taking much longer than the others, I wonder?

Let's meet and I'll throw one at you I've recently caught from Lake Burley Griffin.

Must be an old pic. Castelnau?

Travel plans. Tell me about it. I have a ticket for 3 weeks time MNL-AUH-MXP. I don't have a good feeling about it actually happening (you know why). So I would love for the flights to be cancelled, so I can get my money back, and change my holiday to Thailand. Flying through the ME will be a...

I already do that and nothing happens. I guess the marketing head honcho has had their budget severly cut back.

But maybe they could get it wrong in Sydney too (WSI?). And, yes, the Metro line from IST goes to nowhere in particular, if you're wanting to go to the city. I usually try to take the public bus to where I am going (not downtown, if there is such a place in Istanbul), it's more convenient, for me.

I have a J ticket on EY, MNL-AUH-MXP for 3 weeks time. I don't expect to fly (the flights likely will be cancelled), but I do expect a full refund from Etihad. That being the case, I'll go to Thailand instead (perhaps I should've booked that in the first place). BKK and CNX, with a little...

Well, as I'm 1,800 SC's away from LTG and also interested in maintaining WP, I'm still focussing on SC's for the next couple of years.
