    Feeling ripped off by Virgin advertising - we now serve food and beverage

    I think the bottom line for me is simply Virgin lack the understanding of the notion of basic common honesty.

    T1 Changi - travelators?

    Agree with Russell. They'd seemed pretty seniors-friendly to me.

    Quirky Airport Information

    At the old Essendon Airport in the 60's (just before the freeway was constructed, absorbing the old Niddrie quarry as a side-note) there used to be a watermelon vendor over summer. (Matthews Ave side) 2c a pound. Probably 1967 just after decimal currency. The southern side however, was much...

    Luggage [and how long it lasts]

    I'm gunna plaster all my cases with "is that the best you can do?" stickers to encourage baggage handlers to lift and toss from an even greater height. Pretty sure most of my case damage is incurred by handlers trying to achieve Olympic status in the high jump toss and drop event. Entertaining...

    What does Partner Priority mean on the SQ Boarding pass for VA WP

    Not much, as I found out on a recent trip to coughet via Singapore. Charged in for some priority boarding but that was it (Y class). Loved the lounge with no internal toilets,though, lol.

    Sleeping on planes......

    thanks tgh. I was blissfully ignorant of the meaning of tachyderm, and its existence to be honest, so I've been enlightened. Hope I've applied the correct context. All I can contribute from my worldview is awareness is just about as important as self-awareness. (?)

    New ACCOR Private Sale

    Nothing so exotic for me I'm afraid Bazzi - just a couple of nights late Aug in Melbourne. Booked through the original link; every Oz hotel I looked at complies with the offer criteria - book by Jun 26 for stays July 10 - Aug 29. Sept (spring in the southern hemisphere) would have been great...

    Sleeping on planes......

    Princess F's post is 100% on the money. (from my experience, and it varies from individual to individual, obviously) any of the products mentioned that manipulate the CNS may possibly have depression as a side-effect if used often (or less). Always have to tread with caution (and GP oversight)...

    Sleeping on planes......

    CE the active ingredient in Kirkland Signature sleeping tabs is Doxylamine Succincate. Known in Australia as Restavit. It's pharmacist only, so you can't get it off the shelf but any pharmacist will let you have it for any sleeplessness issue. I never take more than a sixth (of a tab) - too...

    Sleeping on planes......

    Looks like I am the odd one out. I get a few 5 minute naps on anything over 7 hours ( under 7 hour flight time I don't sleep at all),- I just can't drift off. And it's always economy. So I'm always jetlagged on arrival; but always sleep 10 hours then (irrespective of arrival time). Having just...

    New ACCOR Private Sale

    yeah, I noticed that too. I assume there are teething problems with the Sale offer; I want to book Melbourne mid-Aug - not in a hurry, so I'll see if they sort this out. Maybe the e-mail comes when it's ship-shape?

    Feeling ripped off by Virgin advertising - we now serve food and beverage

    As per the CapitalConnect 'thingy', last week SYD-CBR, I was offered and accepted, a poured Coke. (and they even took a full can around later offering seconds!) {saver fare: for me there is no difference between purchasing saver & flexi}
