    Garuda Business – GA719 MEL-DPS

    Sorry to bump an old thread but I wanted to thank you for a great TR! I'm flying Garuda to DPS in a couple of days, apparently on the new A333 business class. I will report back if it's much different :)

    House of Arras sparkling

    The normal stuff you buy from the fridge at BWS tastes like horse piss, though I might keep an eye out for the award winning drop :)

    Monitoring boarding times from a lounge with no boarding calls

    I use everything at my disposal to make sure I'm in the loop re: boarding. I tend to use the FIDS as my main preference, though I have started to use Google (recently in BKK it was Google that told me that the flight was delayed, not the FIDS).

    Flights between Australia and Hawaii struggling

    I was so interested in Hawaii but the recent slide in the AUD-USD exchange rate has really put a dent in my plans. Don't think i'll bother...

    I learnt a valuable lesson yesterday

    I would've been pissed and like you, I would've given the stranger a continuous stink eye for the rest of the flight. Spewing.

    EY A380 SYD-AUH starts Monday 1st June

    Have 2 x A380 flights on EY coming up in late July/August. Looking forward to trying the Business Studio - shame the budget didn't stretch for the apartments but i'm sure we will cope!

    Hamilton Island Airport Lounge

    The airport website has a floor plan and it references a upstairs VIP lounge. When you're there - take a pic and share it with us - I'm sure it will be delightful :rolleyes: http://www.hamiltonisland.com.au/HamiltonIsland/media/PDF-Files/Airport/airport-terminal-plan.pdf

    Hamilton Island Airport Lounge

    We were there a few years ago so my info might be out of date, but there was a VA lounge in the upstairs area of the lounge - it was very basic from memory. Try to get a late check out or get the hotel to hold your luggage and go exploring on a buggy.

    Most disappointing destinations

    Bratislava, Slovakia. Been there a couple of times for a drive stopover between Budapest and Vienna. Small city with 80's communism style apartment blocks everywhere. Felt unsafe there a couple of times.

    I have a 747 parked in my garage at home...

    Is FSX still around? I'm surprised they haven't released a newer version... though FSX was always quite impressive and probably still is today...

    Qantas Blanket on eBay - with permission ?????

    I have a decent airline blanket collection at home - good for guests coming over if it's a bit chilly on the rooftop.

    Auckland Emirates Lounge [Now open approx. 11am-2pm,5pm-9pm]

    I wonder if it changes status to 'Unsettled' and later on, 'Manic Rush' - the closer you get to boarding? :p

    Best J seat on 738 Row 1 or 2?

    Yes.... in which case the bulkhead is certainly illadvised (I however felt the need to have 1A to satisfy my ego)

    Best J seat on 738 Row 1 or 2?

    I'm a big fan of row 2... the bulkhead is terrible - one is sometimes tempted to be a grot and put their feet up on the wall... *cough cough*
