i've got to admit to being one of those under 30 male twitching passengers - i tend to bump my legs up and down. What i have noticed is that it seems to afflict quite a few people i know - funnily enough, most of them are engineers! not sure what this means, but maybe the gene that controls...

thanks, didn't see those!

Not sure if anyone has come across the new SQ seats before, but thought I'd post the link in case someone already hasn't new business class The New Business Class -- Singapore Airlines new First class The New First Class -- Singapore Airlines These new seats look absolutely amazing ...

lol ... and they still manage to charge u $7 for a $1.50 bottle of water :)

$160 for Conrad treasury, $140 for Carlton Crest (the good rooms) but with the benefit of company rates! Kinda scary paying $300+ for a hotel... just can't imagine how they justify the "rack rate"!

Kaz - wholeheartedly recommend either the Shure's or the ety's (Etymotic ER-6i) ... got a pair of ety's myself but have friends with the Shure's and both are fairly similar. Once i bought the ety's I would never think of flying without them! They're great on noise isolation and it means that...

gotta love those poker machines ... the moment you step off the plane into the terminal - BAM - they're there!

I've once had an FA on qantas flight to LAX ask me how many emergency exits there were! :eek: but she said in a joking manner... reckon she knows no one listens anyway... unfortunately, she wasn't young and very cute...

As of two days ago, it still said "you willl almost certainly sit in a different seat each flight", and for once it was right! 12C instead of 10C ... but the flight was full, so I'm guessing there were a couple extra SG or WP ahead of me... either that or according to rpmsol's theory, I must...

Thats probably one of the biggest drawbacks to WHY class - you never know who you'll get stuck next to. I'd be quite happy fly economy domestically if i was guaranteed my aisle seat and a skinny person, or an empty seat next to me each time...

i'm off to Brissy next week ... lets see if it works for me too!

i've heard that the amex platinum / ff ultimate card is pretty good - higher annual fee (aroudn $400 i think), but u get a free domestic flight... and u get 1.5 QFF points per $1 spent. details here: Credit Cards - The Qantas American Express Ultimate Card - American Express Australia

i came across this site: Flood Maps which looks like its based on google earth, but it shows the impact of rising sea levels ... i know its a bit off topic, but was very interesting to check out your city... btw Skyring, thanks for those links to wikimapia - those pics are great ...

Do you think Qantas has something (bug or feature!) in their autoalloation program that gives you the same seat? ... I think I've had 10C or 10D consistantly the last 3-4 times I've flown between BNE and PER in a 737.

I'm just thinking back to the old days of Ansett, and when that went down - i've heard that its cos they pretty much copied qantas almost exactly, but spent too much and weren't as good as qantas with it... given that, it seems unlikely that DJ will go down that same path, but then, with the...

those JAL express seats are a good idea - would easily pay $20 - $30 extra... would be nice tho if QF would introduce something like extra legroom economy seats - i think United have it (economy plus), and its usually allocated to elite flyers. be a nice reward for the frequent flyers ... but...
