Ambivalent on the actual subject matter. But a nasty asthmatic (me) and an autistic adult child with a morbid fear of (ALL) dogs. Curious to know if One should be entitled to know if it was an animal-friendly flight at the time of booking?

I think the over 18 caveat would be due to the words "promotion", which loosely constitutes gaming (gambling)?

Ahh, Mattg, I wouldn't be a sign writer if I didn't make a faux pas now and then haha!

Hello again, Thanks for the well wishes, those comments are hugely comforting to me and I hope that you are all safe and well, as am I. I wrote what I thought was a comprehensive and stellar addendum to this story the other day. But in the process of reading and editing (one of my little...

Wow those ferries seem so close to the shore! Is that a man-made channel or just a really deep river?

It's so interesting, your observation with regard to a couple of restaurants and how they didn't appeal to locals. I was watching one of those food reality shows (Restaurants on the Edge - don't judge me ;) and I noted that the main chef had observed the critical need too cater to your locals...

@ric_melb so true. @drron is a giant when it comes to trip reports. One of the best contributors. And yes, so many wonderful, young and enterprising restaurants could not survive the last few months. But thankfully, we get to experience some of them via the generosity of fellow AFF's. I love...

Thank you for bringing us on this beautifully written sabbatical. I am certain that you gave your family more with your presence, than any presents money could buy. And the special memory of this trip will only fortify as the years (and family) pass. I envy you for your ingenuity. And I envy...

I've never been to Tassie, but loving your report with those delicious photos and commentary!

Wow, just found this thread and realised I never finished it. Not sure the grey matter has enough electrodes working in the Memory Department, but I might try to recollect enough useless information to constitute another entry later today. :)

Well I've just read this incredible thread from start to right now. And I must say - it is a poignant reflection of the year in general. So much enthusiasm this time last year! So many amazing travel plans - I didn't see one itinerary that I did not want to be a stowaway on! How sad it was to...

I still get a peculiar error message when I first log in to Velocity from the home page. It opens a new tab that says "page not found". I have to return to the home page, then click "log in" again. I use Chrome, so perhaps I need to use another browser? PS - I hope Velocity lurks in this...

They'll be back in the black in no time with those rates.

I wouldn't mind being stuck on that Qatari Royal Family 747 that's for sale. Happy to fly RTW for 14 days straight and not leave the aircraft.

You win.

I just don't get it. Someone would pay all that money and time to fly on what would be one of the most memorable and sentimental flight on a 747 for the LAST time.... Then, they sell the memory???? For me, it's worth nothing if you weren't there to experience it. However, I suppose someone will...

Just read my previous post from yesterday. I gotta stop drinking in the afternoon........

There's a ironic ending to a movie I once saw, where the final shot pans out from the main characters till they are too tiny to see. The scene continues to retract and the wide angle gets progressively further and further away - until finally the Earth and it's galaxy are specks of Matter, being...

I think they mean the Plat status will extend through July 2022. Mr Clipped dropped to Gold a week before Velocity announced the extension - then he was emailed to say they would extend his Gold membership a year and that his new review date would be March 2021. Which sounded to us like the way...

I meant a 747 😁
