    Which PJs in the sky

    New coffee cups on Qantas domestic business a disaster! Anybody else agree?

    Anybody else experiencing issues with the new coffee cups used in Qantas Domestic Business ? IMO they are a disaster. They look stylish compard to the previous mug, but now on 3 recent domestic business flights, no matter how carefully I stir the contents, coffee spills over the sides...

    Do you use sleep medication during or after travelling to assist jetlag?

    Spot on! I have just quickly read through all 48 posts so far on this thread and, I may be wrong here, but I believe this is the ONLY member who mentions the safety issue of sleeping tablets/sedatives. There was a post on page 1 mentioning if "something does happen at 35,000ft, who cares."...

    Air canada yyz-syd new j class - any comments, tips or experiences (avoid TBIT)

    Have flown J around 6 times over past 3 years on AC 33/34 777 service. Seating seems a little narrow as mentioned before. There are numerous reports of IFE not working when you visit websites like Skytrax. I had one experience of a faulty IFE and received points compensation. Food definitely...

    Flew CHC-BNE today on NZ203 A320 in seat 7A - the "Space +" section. In fact have flown "Space +" three times in the past month. I find the seat spacing quite good for the shortish 3 1/4 hour flight. With seat back video movies/entertainment and good meal/drinks service, I was beginning to enjoy...
