    UK Departure Tax to increase

    It will be very useful when QF sunrise takes hold and you fly non stop from CDG or Europe. Quite happy with a couple of nights in Paris on the way home. Especially if you fly from non LON based airports. you can get a cheap flight for 50 pence !!!

    Best Economy class

    Dear all Thank you for your comments, it was an interesting read. I ended up with QF1 on the way there and EK414 (QF#) on the way back. Reasonable seat on both flights as a WP as JohnK suggested. Moved to a unused row for parts of the flights and a couple of beers helped. I liked the short...

    Best Economy class

    A question that is likely to generate some debate and hopefully some recommendations. I need to travel to the UK - LHR, LGW, MAN, STN in the next 2 weeks for family reasons - the F, J and Y+ pricing is a little step at this time so I am looking at Economy. I have burnt the majority of my...

    Very excellent news - even though I get to use the EU lanes (attached to SWMBO) most of the time, the e-lanes are much faster and less waiting. Lets hope its there by late May - please

    TT758 PER to SYD

    Not really a trip report (just the end) but a couple of screen shots from flight radar 24 this morning. After a loud roar of engines I saw this Tiger flight banking to the right, away from its flight path. Not the normal thing to do less than 2 minutes out on approach to SYD airport. Not...
