Qf 670 adl mel holding on ground for 15mins due single runway and congestion in mel. All those going to lax have been told not to panic! So the mel to lax may be a tad late leaving.

LAX is my point of entry to the US, and for a while, I was arriving/departing every 6 weeks. I've seen it change from an uncomfortable, slow moving mess into a more comfortable, slightly less slow moving arrivals hall. The staff behind the counters are so hit and miss on whether you will get a...

They haven't installed a body scanner have they? I fly out Wed morn so will have a look.

As someone with 2 replacement hips, and who lives in Adelaide, I'm used to it. Belt off, shoes off, laptop out, and let them lead me on. I always love it when they ask me if I'm OK doing it in the public area, or would I like to use a separate private room!!!!!!!!!! The bit that really gets me...

On Wednesday May 8, I will be ticking off a major bucket list item. I'll be taking off at 6pm for a flight up the west coast of California outside Los Angeles in a B17 Flying Fortress!!!! The attached photo is the actual aircraft that I'll be in. To say that I'm stoked is an understatement and...

Looking at 2 weeks in Myanmar in November. Presuming we would fly into Yangoon, but are there other options? Don't want to really keep changing accommodation, so maybe after Yangoon go to ????. And if so, what is the best way to get to ???? We would be happy to do personalised tours, but really...

OK, so technically this is not YET a plane spotting post, I thought I'd post what WILL be a plan spotting post on May 6!!! Looking forward to this like you would not believe, and it will come the week after the Planes of Fame Airshow in LA.

I find the Planes of Fame museum to be a great place to visit. Plus they have a fantastic airshow in May which I'll be going to for the third time! The sounds and smells of 20 or 30 Merlins and Packard engines roaring around an airfield, sometime no more than 400 feet away is just fantastic. And...

I've had 2 or 3 go-rounds and 1 aborted take off, but the best was years ago! MEL-HBA on TAA in either a 727 or DC9 (don't remember which). We had been served our meals and the trolleys were out for tea/coffee. Just south of Launceston we hit a hole in the air, and DOWN we went. I will never...

Edit! We are sitting on the runway running up the engines so we can burn off 100 kg? Of fuel as we were overfueled by the refueler, so the captain tells us. Now that is a first!!!! We are literally sitting on a taxiway with the engines cranked up.

Still sitting in lounge waiting for QF45 mel to denpasar. Nothing mentioned yet about delay. Supposed to board at 16:40. Edit. Late arriving aircraft, boarding expected atabout 17.15 Edit boarding 17.40

And of course the scales are calibrated aren't they! I had a bag weighed about 4 years ago at Jetstar check in at Adelaide and it came up at about 9kg. I was gobsmacked because my 2 hand weighing gadgets had it at 6.5kg. I did a controlled dummy spit and demanded to see the calibration details...

thanks - that looks like the can she showed me. I'll now go looking. Thanks again.

Not sure what you posted - can't see it - there is a red "X" showing.

OK, this may be a dumb question, but here goes! Got home yesterday after a month of travel, and on the QF J legs I had bloody mary's on various occasions. The drink was mixed using a small can of savory tomato juice, rather than normal tomato juice, with extra additions. I forgot to ask the...

There is another 380 and a 787 on the ground here at present. Don't know the uk flights so cant put numbers on them.

Boarded now. Looks like 10am pushback. Happy trails. Edit. Still on deck. I'll bet on a 10.30am departure.

Qf2d is at the gate. Announcement that boarding is delayed until 9am due to late arrival of aircraft.
