Thankyou! Thanks Fiona! Does take time, but its worth it. Thanks :) Yeah, i'm taking CX F tomorrow to SIN (before a flight to BNE... am I asking for trouble?) and hopefully the new first section of the wing will be open. Actually, it's not one effect. It's multiple changes to hue...

Just my Olympus Pen EP-2 with a 30mm Zuiko, and a standard kit zoom lens, nothing too fancy. Editing taken care of in Lightroom and imovie. Thanks! And yeah, it's nice but its kinda sickly sweet, right? I think i'd just take the billecart by itself next time

Thanks! They do have a good whiskey offering, and there was plenty of old japanese men fawning over it, but I'm not much of a whisky drinker! Cheers! It'll be great, i'm sure :) The cabin is in pretty great shape! Thanks, but i'm not sure what you mean?

JAL Sakura First Lounge Haneda On my way back to Hong Kong, I got to spend a bit of time in the JAL First Lounge in Haneda. I haven't been able to find any other trip report that features this lounge, so it might be a first! Check out my video below for my impressions! Conclusion...

After being raped by the 3 courses there was no way I could eat anymore. So when the uber-polite CSM came over and offered me dessert, of course I said yes. I lack self control, whatever. Dessert was a lovely raspberry swirl cheesecake with a raspberry coulis served in a chocolate cup... and I...

Nice table setting Garlic bread & other rolls... the start of what can only be described as an 'assault' of food. A very lovely gesture from the two First japanese FA's. My choices in the menu had been to have the western entree & appetizer, followed by the...

Once it was out turn, the massive boeings engines spooled up and we were gracefully hurtling down the runway. I like being in the nose of a 747 during takeoff, you get to hear all the bumps and groans of the forward landing gear, but at the same time the climb feels comfortable and smooth...

AH, now the champagne. Cathay serves bog standard Moet & Chandon NV in their first lounges, very much like Asiana and Malaysian, and I have no idea why. There isn't anything particularly wrong with it, I wouldn't go to call it unpleasant (hey if someone offered me a free glass, it'd be gone...

A deserted front desk... perfect for sneaky photos Greyed out windows Empty business centre Private Rooms The Pier has seldom used private rooms for those extra long lounge layovers when you just can't bear having to make eye contact with other first class lounge users (which when...

Introduction During semester break in september of this year I decided that I needed a holiday before another hectic 4 months of study in my penultimate year of my degree. Being currently based in Hong Kong, rather than Australia, my options were pretty limitless. I decided to visit one...

Yep, there's a fair bit of droop going on with the end those poor mark newson seats. Probably had too many fat people sit in them.

I totally respect your position, but I still disagree. CX with their new lounges are miles ahead, they have the noodle bar and fresh dim sum for food offerings, and all other food is catered for by the peninsula catering team, the coffee loft which a constantly manned coffee machine (unlike...

Sydney & Melbourne should both have excellent Qantas J lounges being Qantas 'home turf' but when you compare it to what Cathay offers at HKIA, Malaysian offers at KUL, Asiana offers at ICN and what EK offers in pretty much every one of their own branded lounges throughout the world, it's not all...

Definitely warm, definitely not udon. No broth, oyster sauce dressing, and the menu i'm fairly sure listed 'Mushroom Hokkein Noodles'... though I definitely may have remembered that wrong. Either way they were delicious. I usually have something very similar made for me at the 大牌檔 (street noodle...

Hokkien style!

Hahah i'd very much prefer they hire me as in-house legal council, and pay me lots.

Just a Olympus EP2, except mine is covered in wood. I used to have a big full frame DSLR (Sony A700) with a massive lens set but I gave it all up for the little pen and a set of old russian lenses. It's a bit hipster, but the setup actually works really well.

Thanks everyone! This one took aaaaaages to write. Make sure you all checkout the videos as well.

And another glass of Billiecart before landing of course... On Board Bar The Qantas A380's have a small bar/lounge area at the front of the upper deck cabin which connects with the staircase leading into First Class, so both first and business passengers can mingle and so...

Cool little wine guide in the literature pocket, has tasting notes on all of the wines Qantas serves. Great for winesnobs like me!* Starter Roasted Carrot & Thyme Soup with Creme Fraiche (may have got this wrong in the video, sorry!) The soup itself was really great. Not too...
