    Air NZ to dry-lease CX 777 for 3 years (F seating available)

    I would have paid extra for CX's catering standard.

    Article: Chef Linda’s Epic Qantas Singapore Lounge Specials

    The shrimp paste chicken wings should never have been taken off the menu. It is to SIN QF First lounge, what salt and pepper squid is to SYD First lounge.

    Business Trans-tasman

    Thanks for the menu. None of the mains interest me and I would pick QF soup or even an economy meal over over any of them. Chances are, I would have something at the lounge, if from a First lounge, even better.

    Article: What I Value Most About Qantas Platinum Status

    I was Double Gold Elite (earning status twice over the top threshold) with Air New Zealand until the inflight meals took a big enough dive during the Luxon era. for me to seek greener pastures. One main advantage QF Platinum and therefore One World Emerald over Star Alliance is an existence of...

    Article: Why Single-Aisle Jets Will Never Have 7-Abreast Seating

    I never understood why the 90 second evacuation rule does not also adopt typical passenger demographic to include possibly older mobility impaired. If it did, there would be a lot more space and legroom for all.

    Downsized Traveller

    Check in luggage is a cost to airlines. If they want to encourage HLO, I could be persuaded with better inflight F&B. BTW. Small toothpaste tubes are available from my dentist as free samples and most hotels have so single serving toothpaste tubes that would last 2 - 3 nights. You just need to...

    Article: Why Keep Booking with Airlines that Screw You Over?

    We used to have a beef eye fillet option (or similar quality). Then they downgraded to that pot pie in J. Novel at first, then it got tiring after the 3rd time. So bad, sometimes I had to request meals from Economy. I think I flew them so much, I knew what every meal option tasted like, and J...

    Article: Why Keep Booking with Airlines that Screw You Over?

    Flights from Hell

    1, SQ AKL - SIN 777 Y Everything seemed normal after we boarded, PAX happily chatting away, stowing bags in the overhead compartment. I was already seated on the bulkhead (aisle / exit row) when a severely horizontally challenged woman approached the cabin. The cabin suddenly fell silent. The...

    Air New Zealand Economy Skynest

    At 58cm wide each, 2 at the narrowest end, will use the width of approximately 3 Economy seats At 2m long it will use up 2.5 seats (pitch wise), probably 3 seats counting access to the bunks at the foot end. So 6 bunks will use foot print of about 9 seats. It will be interesting to see how...
