    Seat poacher

    I had a seat poacher (I quite like this tern of phrase) situation a few years ago flying out of Washington DC with the Mrs. I had booked a window seat in the first row of Y as I really did want to take pics of DC as we flew out. Upon boarding a family of three were in our seats. I spoke to them...

    Put them on the jet bridge so that they will be there for her return flight :)

    Seat poacher

    Can I clarify the story? She tried to grab a J seat but she should have been in Y? Wow some people are so entitled.

    Just when you thought you had seen it all in the Qantas lounge...

    However, should you step in dog poo whilst wearing shoes and not know it, when you walk inside in shoes you are spreading it around. Take you shoes off and the contamination is stopped at the front door.

    Pets in the Cabin - Coming soon on Virgin Australia

    I'm the same with cats. When I'm close to cats I develop an Asthma attack. Can I sue the airline (I do have a mortgage to pay off)? Can I sue the pet owner? Would this not complicate the evacuation process should it be required? What happens if I have a pet snake or kangaroo?

    Biggest juxtaposition between luxury (from points) and budget (from money)?

    I have no problems staying at budget hotels. When I'm travelling for pleasure, I generally spend most of my time outside the hotel. For me hotels should be clean, safe, convenient and good place to sleep. Should a luxury hotel fall into my budget and selection criteria, then that's a bonus. I...

    In your steak photo, is that a big disc of butter or a very small steak?

    Worse than feet on bulkheads

    Gosh, I thought that this was a crime scene and the police had been dusting for finger (or should that be foot) prints.

    QF Starts Installing Split Scimitar Winglets

    QF has started installing 23 pairs of split scimitar winglets on their B737s. I think that they look great. Apparently it takes more than 500 man hours to install each one...

    Luggage trackers

    I use Chipolo ONE Spot which still uses the Apple network but you can also use their app instead of Find-Me. I followed the Youtube reviews and they claim louder buzzer and much much longer ranger. Another bonus is that they already have a hole formed in the device so you can use a generic loop...

    FAA grounds 737 Max 9 Aircraft Indefinitely after Alaska Airlines incident

    This is true but Boeing is the final supplier and hence is responsible for the product and carries the warranty. If there is any recourse, then its on Boeing to follow up with the supplier. When I buy a Subaru and if it has a problem with the airbags, I don't call Takata, I call Subaru and take...

    [The Age] Ute crashes into Jetstar aircraft on tarmac at Sydney Airport

    Maybe the photo will be used as part of the report to demonstrate the field of vision from both inside and outside the coughpit?

    [The Age] Ute crashes into Jetstar aircraft on tarmac at Sydney Airport

    Oh no. Maybe he didn't see the large plane. I hope he has insurance as that looks like a very expensive accident to me. https://www.news.com.au/travel/travel-updates/incidents/jetstar-flights-cancelled-after-plane-crashes-into-ute-at-sydney-airport/news-story/a6d42a9f3a27def63e5d45214182eeb5

    Qantas Business Class meals & menus

    Great photo but sadly the subject matter disappoints. A very small piece of bread and a $15-$20 pie with chocolate etc for a very expensive J fare. I also note the many toasties that are being presented subsequent to this photo. I know that I shouldn't expect dinner at a fancy restaurant in...

    First Qantas A220 revealed

    I wonder why QF didn't aline all the rows and then place 1A as a throne seat to make 11 J seats (if space is an issue).

    What cheeses me off

    WCMO (only a little bit) is legitimate callers (tradies, businesses etc) who you have a working relation with, who call your mobile and you don't have their number in your phone. And then you might miss their call and then for some reason they seem unable to leave a voice mail saying - Hi its...
