    Apparently they are due to commence flights to Munich from both Hanoi - twice weekly - and Saigon - once weekly initially and then twice weekly from December - in October this year. This will mean they will have four European destinations - London, Paris, Frankfurt & Munich. I can't see a press...

    Vietjet set to fly A321 twice weekly to Perth

    There are a number of items on-line about Vietjet preparing to announce direct flights from Perth to Ho Chi Minh City. I have linked the Airlines Ratings item because I can't properly access the other sites that are talking about this news. I am pretty sure that this is the first time direct...

    Air New Zealand 48 SaleAway sale.

    A message about this sale dropped into my in-box this morning. To be honest it doesn't seem all that 'special' to me but I may be wrong...

    B737 Waterbomber crashes in south of W.A. Both pilots said to be not seriously injured but in hospital.

    There is still relatively little detail about what has happened but it appears that a Coulson Aviation B737 Water Bomber has crashed after taking off from Bunbury Airport to fight a fire in the Fitzgerald National Park. Hopefully they are truly ok. I think this is the first crash of a...

    Train Travel in Germany 2nd ½ 2022

    Just a few points for those considering train travel in Germany in the next few months or so. There is lots of overcrowding but that may improve after the end of August when the 9 Euro fare will disappear. However I am convinced that some routes in their more populous areas will continue to be...

    Reunion and more - Germany & Czech Republic

    We are leaving at 01:10 tomorrow (10/8) on SQ for the start of a 33 day trip. This trip was originally booked to for August 2020 - everyone knows why that didn't occur. One of our objectives is to be in Berlin on 26 - 28 August for the reunion of my wife's German family roots. Her German...

    El Al say that they will fly to Australia

    Not a route that would interest me but I am sure others will be interested. Very little detail in the article with not even a destination named but surely Sydney or Melbourne. I would guess at Melbourne. The route depends on the Saudi Arabian authorities giving permission for the flight to use...

    Scenic Cruises compensation for ruined cruises announced.

    Passengers who had their European River Cruises ruined by weather problems have had compensation amounts announced. This follows on from the High Court case in 2020 ruling that it "was a breach of contract to fail to provide a "pleasurable and relaxing holiday", and that he was eligible to claim...

    New Condor livery - definitely not bland!

    I haven't seen this posted elsewhere on here. Condor has just released renderings of its new livery and it is certainly adventurous/different/unusual/ weird/eye burning according to your taste. The one thing it definitely isn't is bland. The striped look is supposedly based on beach towels and...

    J Class seats for the Boeing 737 MAX business class announced.

    I must say these look pretty swish - especially the 'Throne Seat'. Fully flat 76" bed but some differences in particular seat widths. Ten seats in three rows with 4 - 2 - 4 seats across layout. https://www.executivetraveller.com/news/singapore-airlines-boeing-737-max-business-class

    Fremantle - some buildings and sites.

    I and others have often mentioned Fremantle on here but I realised that there have only been a few photos of the port. Today my wife was going to look at an Art Exhibition down there so I took the chance to spend a couple of hours wandering around. I first became closely acquainted with...

    Flowers, sun and stubble.

    As I mentioned in my post in the 'Office' view thread I mentioned that we had made a short, 3 day, visit to a farm about 300 km east of here. We went about 20 km east of the town of Merriden and then another 30 km north of the highway on a mixture of bitumen and gravel roads. My brother in law...

    American Express Travel Insurance Fine Print and Volcanic Eruptions

    As usual you have to be aware of all of the exclusions from any policy. After some bad publicity American Express said "it would reach out to the family to offer some "financial support" but declined to elaborate on the details."...

    New Emirates ad on top of Burj Khalifa

    I don't think that this has been posted on here yet. There is no way this little black duck would be doing what she did. https://dronedj.com/2021/08/10/emirates-burj-khalifa-drone-ad/

    Sydney Airport Takeover Offer

    Reports are appearing today that a US$17 billion offer to 'takeover' Sydney Airport has been made. Super Funds appear to be large partners in the offer bid. If the offer is successful I wonder if the new operators would be as rapacious as the current ones - my inclination is to say yes...
