    The Rube Goldberg Points Transporting Machine.

    I have always been fascinated by Rube Goldman Machines, and I am desperate to see the one Qantas uses for transitioning points from their Online mall and other locations, into our points accounts. I reckon it must be spectacular as it seems to operate over a period of months. Not sure what a...

    QF app having a moment.

    I’m all for taking a break, sitting down and stuffing your face full of cookies when life gets you down. But the QANTAS iPhone APP has been frustratingly munted after having too big a cookie for a week now. Gosh dammit... I’m going to have to get out of my bed and book these flights on my...

    The camaraderie of economy? How I stopped worrying and learned to love the Y

    There are few underpants wearing people in the history of humanity that would not wish to be seated in business class. The plusher, wider seats that are staggered for less invasion of personal space. The improved quality of service, food and even air are far better suited to preserving one's...

    "The Surge" or... "People Are Crazy"

    Prior to a recent flight I witness something happening before boarding that I've never seen before I had a flight across the Tasman Sea to Middle Earth New Zealand. It was an 11:15pm flight departing from Melbourne, and it looked like it was going to be a pretty full flight loaded with tired...

    How to guarantee that you get scanned and swabbed at the airport.

    Just thought I'd throw in a bit of a light-hearted discussion. What methods have you folks have used to get yourself swabbed every single time at the airport? This is either domestically or internationally. I'm thinking of making it into my next hobby. Although, for some reason I seem to be...

    Well hello there. Do you fly here often?

    I've been reading the posts on here for a while now, and I just felt that in order to not be rude, I'd introduce myself. Hi. My name is Scott, and I'm a plane-a-holic. Middle-aged healthcare professional here with family in two rather distant cities in Australia. I fly a bit, I eat, I have...
