Planning on taking mother to SIN and KIX in a few weeks for a "last trip" before her mobility decreases to the point where travel isn't an option. I haven't been on SQ A350 or 787-10 aircraft (or SQ post-COVID) - do the J cabins run warmer than one would generally expect? We're planning her...

Wasn't sure where to post this, however I found a fascinating video of PA's around the world across both poles flight for their 50th anniversary. Show some youngsters how people used to fly - the clothes, the service, the attitudes.

Many years ago (2017) the wife and I took the typical Carnival cruise and we had the typical day stop at Noumea. After the little train drive around the city, followed by a supermarket picnic we thought it would be a fun and tasty place in which to spend more time. We planned for 2018, had to...

Over in the VA forum Rooflyer posted their one-off VA experience, so after flying QF for the first time since 2006 I'm reporting from the other direction. Had to be in Toowoomba from MEL for a usual monthly Friday afternoon meeting so thought it was time to give the new WTB airport a go and...
