    Off to Denver

    Decided a short trip to Denver was in order and am writing this sitting in the Admirals lounge in the eagles nest at LAX. Lounge is small but functional. Flew over QF and had very good service and a nice seat. Checked in to a hotel for the day for a quick snooze at the H hotel, a one block...

    Qantas Schedule more Evening Departures to North America

    Going next weekend to Denver, so first to LAX then business on AA. If the comfort and service are there then a bit of extra time isn’t a biggie.. If going to NY, Arriving and spending the night at the TWA Hotel and a drink in the Connie bar should be on everyone’s list. Can then fly or train...

    Qantas Schedule more Evening Departures to North America

    They are, but even better if you use the Auckland - New York flight. Also, if you prefer first class at least on the long section then LAX is the only way to go.

    When to book Christmas flights to Europe on premium economy or economy?

    Book as soon as you decided what dates you want to travel. Between now and then the only thing we know is more people will start booking and fares will creep up.

    For a gambling break, I highly recommend a visit to the Atomic Testing Museum, not far form the strip. https://www.atomicmuseum.vegas/

    Qantas Health Insurance - what are the thoughts of those that have it?

    Not economic for me, was more than 1000 per year higher than my HCF pricing.

    Lots of Unhappy Vegemites on delayed QF 11 SYD-LAX

    Yes, as some of you know I work in rail freight. Nothing like a locomotive braking down at say Broken Hill, driver opens a few panels and says it won’t power might be a blown turbo charger or might be a fuse. Boss rings me and asks how long will it take to fix and do we have the parts. I’m in...

    Life Time Gold - The [Realistic] Holy Grail

    I think it’s a nod to those who start business flying at 40, retire at 65 and have the yearly trip somewhere on vacation in retirement. keeps you hooked knowing there is a small benefit once you retire.

    50 people injured on SYD-AKL LATAM flight LA800

    Or even less exciting would the data have been downloaded with the boxes remaining on the plane.

    Air China considering CX acquisition (potential oneworld exit to *A?)

    I graciously disagree. Hong Kong itself was a great brand once in the not too distant past.

    Just when you thought you had seen it all in the Qantas lounge...

    Is it gross to wear shoes, horses for courses, no shoes for some beliefs is ok and must wear shoes in others is also ok. If you can follow the rules in a religious setting then you can follow the rules in another setting.
