C in all cases!

Gold Coast, Togo, Dahomy, Upper Volta, Ivory Coast, Bangladesh when it was still Pakistan, Czechoslavakia (then Communist), Yugoslavia (ditto), Congo Brazzaville, West and East Germany, UAE, Gilbert & Ellice Islands, more than one earlier French Republic... And Northern Territory and Australian...

My worst, but far from my only gaffe! Arrived LHR after 30hr flt ex SYD, went to nearest ATM to get some UKP, inserted only card that could access my bank account that had funds. Entered PIN 4 times - card swallowed by machine. Right PIN, but for a different card and account! Lived on very...

Fully agree as a DRW resident - all but one Virgin flight ex DRW is back of clock. Still, service is much better than JetStar; and if the flight time suits, a Virgin now offers a good alternative to Qantas. I seriously doubt Virgin would make money on the Centre Run (DRW-Katherine-Tennank...

Audio Technica ATCK90NC work quite well, but don't block out or cancel quite as much outside noise as either the Bose NC3s or Bose NC15s. They also let more sound escape to annoy those sitting near you, and I find then marginally less comfortable to wear on long flights. However, they are...

Like VirginiaF I too find in flight announcements when plugged into the sockets next to my seat can be VERY LOUD! My solution is to use a FiiO E11 headphone amplifier. It adds to the bulk you have to carry, but it allows much better and easier to access control over volume than patching straight...

I've tried Bose QC15 noise cancelling; Bose QC3 noise cancelling, Sennheiser PXC 300 noise cancelling, Dr Dre Monster Studio Beats noise cancelling, Audio Technica ATH-CKS90NC noise cancelling , Sony in-ear MDR NC22 noise cancelling and a JVC on-ear (cannot recall the model but noise cancelling...

My wife, son daughter-in-law and I flew economy on Royal Jordanian from LHR to AMN and then from AMN to TLV in September 2010. The service was good but not outstanding. Jordan was certainly well worth a visit.

Bose QC headphones are bulky and less comfortable when sleeping than good in ear earphones. However, the Bose QC15's are outstandingly excellent for listening to music or watching a movie (whether in flight or on one's own mp4 player). I've tried various Shures, Sonys and Sennheisers but to my...

You are correct. Thanks for pointing this out I note that Qantas' frequent flyer redemption page doesn't even list Dili (whether for Classic or Any Seat rewards). However, Qantas does offer code share seats DRW-DIL and return, using Airnorth flights. Qantas' prices are more expensive...

Was the flight to East Timor was from Darwin on Air North? My wife and I are planning to fly DRW-DIL and return in early June.
