That reminds me of a spectacular image of a 747 launching from LAX. Taken from above. Apparently there is a VFR route used by general aviation that passes along the shoreline over the flight path of airliners taking off from LAX. (The shot looks like it was taken from directly in front and not...

I'm on a Business Light fare. Seat selection, luggage, lounge access, priority boarding not included. That's okay. I paid for a bag and one lounge access in Helsinki. What I really want is the seat. At least meals and grog are included.

Accommodation settled, now what aboiut my travel? I had no idea how I was going to get there and back. Often I make the trip part of a round-the-world flight and in the old days I’d get what they call a DONE4 — a “oneWorld Explorer” in business class for a bargain fare that would generally get...

Building the base Usually these BookCrossing conventions are held on a weekend and a certain pattern has developed: Wednesday: the first arrivals land and inevitably get together for an earlybirds dinner. Thursday: visitors take a trip around the region. Another dinner with more arrivals...

That's true. Nevertheless to my mind - and body - there is a huge difference between being able to stretch out horizontal or merely recline the seat. As a tall side-sleeper I have immense difficulty getting more than a few minutes here and there, mostly when completely exhausted. I'd arrive...

Bonus!

With two parallel publication streams, I'll divide this TR up into more frequent and bite-sized chunks here and longer and more structured instalments on Medium.com. The BookCrossing Thing BookCrossing.com is one of those wacko American things that has kind of taken off. Like Geocaching and...

SIN is almost on the Equator. A flight that pretty much goes over the North Pole and then down the other side of the planet is something that absolutely makes me go WowCool inside in a schoolboy kind of way. I want to get out a plastic Readers Digest globe and run my fingers along your flight...

Ouch. I didn't know this. How does the experience differ from the regular AirBnB app?

Shep's Mound is probably the easiest and most practical. There is dedicated parking, shelter, and bubblers. Fast food outlets are not too far away. https://www.sydneyairport.com.au/corporate/sustainability/community/aviation-enthusiasts You might like to get Flightradar 24 or a similar app to...

The two lovers sat in front and after a while I sat in the middle in the back, hip to hip, because if I had a window seat one of my cheeks went to sleep. The hardest part was parking on a busy morning Amsterdam bikepath just outside the central area while I tried to fit all the bags in and a...

I got NightCafe to make me a picture of Emma Watson who had lost her shirt. I'm waiting for the day when AI characters run OnlyFans channels. Then I can really clean up.

It's about weeding out those targets who might give them trouble. Someone who responds to this is probably not going to string them along and waste their time without any hope of a result. Amusing but from their point of view non-productive. Likewise it's probably the more gullible who will be...

I have an even tighter (by ten minutes) connection coming up. I'm not terrifically worried. I've been in HEL before and it's not a huge airport. Besides, if I miss my next flight, they'll put me on another - both are on the one ticket. It's places like LHR or SYD or CDG that bother me.

Lounge access isn't the be all of airline travel. The better class of lounges makes a big difference for me. And one trip, being Platinum made a huge difference. It was the year of the volcano, and Finnair upgraded the wife and I from economy KIX-HEL because I had OWE status. Yes, that was nice...

This would have to be one of the smarter scams I've seen. A thinking person just picks up the remote and checks if Netflix is still working. They see it's a scam and don't press the button or waste any time on it. A hasty or non-thinking person, on the other hand…

Heck, there are still a few VR ones around in the UK. They are treasured by the locals.

I was thinking more about cycling down to the local servo and buying a Mars bar, thereby keeping the cosmos in balance.

Pre-dawn in Canberra and I'm up looking at points and flights. Any other forum people would shake their heads and move on. This popped up. I can't say that I've been a good loyal BP customer - though judging by the number of loyalty cards in my wallet I must be one of the most loyal people on...

Thanks, Jessica! I wondered, because when someone makes a recommendation and they receive a commission on any sales, the opinion may not be objective, especially if the link is undeclared. I value the combined expertise of this forum very highly on matters of wine. I only have so much money to...
