It was wonderful to see a Captain (very Senior) visiting economy and talking to pax on 93 on Wednesday. Also at the door at LAX

Don't know if anyone was as gob smacked as us to see a Virgin ad showing a flight attendant throwing an open bottle of wine across the cabin with a Captain standing in the aisle with a grin on his face.

You are right Princess. Dubai to Barcellona was great - SYD - AUK Average. Also on the CHC flight. We were told that the chicken was gone and we could only have the fish. OK for me but not so the Bride. We were sitting next to the galley and a little later we heard the chief bloke to remind the...

CHC - SYD last week with EK in cattle. Asked for a chardy with the meal service - was given a Shiraz. Had to explain that Chardy was a white wine - was told "I wouldn't know I don't drink wine"

Once upon a time QF advertised a $100 add-on to fly Concord JFK to Heathrow if you bought a First round world ticket. I was gunna do that anyway so of course I did it. Amazing, saw the Earth was REALLY round - best champers I have ever tasted - AND - after about 30 mins of supersonic they threw...

Having just returned from a 10 week OS holiday and flying QF EK British Iberia AA Southwest Hawaiian and got help us, Jetstar, and I am considering every part of the flight from checkin, lounges, actual flight etc etc I would never fly with anyone else but Qantas if I could.

From our back porch Hindmarsh Island S.A.

Really good point Roo, I wondered about the photoshop theory too. However if that is the case I reckon it's a pretty pathetic attitude. I'm not Jewish but a few of my mates are and they were appalled when I told them.

Thanks Steady. QFF Gold but only travel for leisure now. Enjoying Barcelona today. UK for a month next week

Guess I'm not surprised, but who would fly with them.

Yes, you are correct RooFlyer. It was a perfect curve as you illustrated, but, as we approached Israel, maybe 30 mins away, the flight path dipped and seemingly missed flying through Israel by what I would estimate about 10 miles, then changed course back to the original route. If my suspicions...

I was amazed last week when traveling from Dubai to Barcelona on EK to see that Israel was not named on the route map. Not only that but the route was changed so the flight did not fly over Israel. Has anyone else experienced this?
