Josh - no you aren't crazy! Have sent you a PM. RJ have improved a lot in the last few years. My partner recently returned from Cairo with them and was relatively happy. I found it really hard to find photos/reviews of the new Business Class so wasn't sure what the product was going to be...

The LH/LX fares are good, but will likely only give you two sectors on OW. By memory you can go QF outbound to LAX and inbound from HKG, but the main sectors from Canada/US to Europe and Europe to Asia must be LH or LX.

Cabs and MRT have always suited me when in SIN, but I understand that having a child seat may necessitate the hire car. Getting from Terminal 1 to 2 is not difficult. There is either the terminal transfer train, or you can walk. A late pick up is probably going to be required. If the QF31 is...

I flew to HBA over the weekend and experienced the 'intimidation' of the not so charming JQ Flight Attendant at the boarding gate. All we had done wrong was arrive at the gate 14 minutes prior to the scheduled departure time. Apparently that was unacceptable as we were the last two people to...

I find the new cup awkward to drink out of. If I was chooisng a set of cups to have at home to enjoy my coffee/tea from, it wouldn't be a design that I would choose! Stylish, yes. Functional? Well, it is Marc Newson :shock:

From the article... Sounds like there was some backing down on both sides.

Does anyone know how the transfer arrangement works for VirginBlue/Pacific Blue transfers? I know someone flying SYD/BNE/CHC this week (all on one ticket). This is on the DJ website: But I don't find that terribly helpful in working out if either the train or bus is 'complimentary'...

Pesky QF aircraft making JQ look like they have as many engineering issues as QF!

I think that was VH-NLH which was leased from BA for a while back in 2002-2004.

Thanks guys. At least I'm on the right track in terms of categorisation. I like your idea winchester of the spreadsheet. I can drive the fundamentals of Excel, so will give it a go to create one of my own. Will be sure to get in touch if I fail! If I exclusively looked after people from AFF -...

I have been handed the (terribly exciting) job of reorganising the back room at our agency which is currently overflowing with brochures. The room is currently organised roughly in the following order: Continent then by Country/Region then by Supplier Up until now, 'refreshing' of brochures...

Your experience should become the norm on B747 flights. Previously, the Rockwell Collins IFE system installed on the 747s wasn't stable enough to be operated during takeoff and landing, so it had to be turned off. They are going through a software upgrade to improve stability and allow the IFE...

Is this what we might be getting ourselves in for? http://www.news.com.au/travel/news/panicky-pilot-caused-indian-passenger-jet-plunge/comments-e6frfq80-1225963046654

I think it was an interpretation of the Regulations by QF Security that led to QF having platic and AA having metal. The Regulations haven't changed recently, just the interpretation.

Re: Qantas boots air steward for stealing pink Uggs Read more: http://www.news.com. I don't think he forgot to pay -sounds like it was in the lobby of the crew hotel. Opportunistic theft. Personally, I love the excuse - "the jetlag made me do it".

The CC told me the changeover for flights was Thursday, so you may have just missed out. Lounges may have happened sooner?

Flew back from SIN yesterday on QF and was pleasantly surprised to see metal knives are back on the meal trays. The design is as expected, just a metal version of the current Marc Newson plastic thing. The blade may be a little shorter, but nothing noticable.

Unfortunately that go-around was conducted by 'experienced' pilots, and not a 200hr pilot. The OP and news story is more about the operation of Australian registered aircraft using SIN based crew, not the use of cadets as FOs.

Sounds more industrial than safety related. Does he mean to say that anyone that flies on any Singapore based airline is at risk? Needs to be a bit more specific than just the broad motherhood statements in his original article. The Captain presenting to the Senate Inquiry was more specific...

For the purposes of measuring on-time performance, Qantas departure time is brakes release. That usually, but not always, corresponds closely with push back. If an ATC delay is expected (eg. waiting for an incoming aircraft to taxi onto a nearby bay, route clearance etc), then brakes may be...
