Another time LHR-DXB-SYD I was in PE, chatting to seatmate during the flight, we had both requested upgrades but didnt get them. Arrived in DXB and have to deplane before getting back on same plane etc etc. Back in the security area before the gate and I saw her again. I went and sat next to her...

Back when I first started collecting points, I was only about 25 or so, I had just enough for a Business Upgrade SYD to LAX. As Silver and paying for Economy I didn't hold much hope but when checking in with my friend was told "Please go to the Business Counter Sir". Friend was confused when we...

His Mullett.

At Cairns Airport you ask security how many mudcrabs they caught on their perimeter lap...

Just on news...Traffic Controller saw nothing as he was "resting" in a reclining chair with no view of the airport after the last flight at 12:38am...this is an established practice they said.

Is it even manned for those hours? Or is it a somebody calls/wake up type deal with the guy asleep onsite if no activity.

Im only reporting what the Cairns Post paper said...Im not any expert in the matter. But it is sensible to leave the keys for the next bloke. The key would not be much more than a simple lock to shut the door and crank the starter, like a 73 Kingswood, there wouldnt be any "extra" immobiliser...

There is a key...it was in the ignition...but as the company owner said its common practice with 40 pilots you cant have them taking the keys home with them on their days off etc. Even if it was stored in a safe at the office or something this guy was an employee and would have the codes anyway.

There would hardly be anyone in Cairns that hasnt been impacted by the youth crime plague up here. Many company cars, trucks, Taxis, Ubers and even a marked POLICE car have been stolen. When it gets real bad the Police use Rescue 510, and even hire Nautilus Aviation Choppers (in the daytime...

The Airport Claims NO Security Breach... These criminals can barely drive cars, and they have seen how to do that from watching people and playing games...a chopper would be a stretch I reckon. Ex employee maybe?? Lots of contradictory information going on. One eye witness claims it went full...

The only chopper that regularly flies around at night up here is Rescue 510...sometimes rescuing people but mostly chasing juvie car thieves.

Yes - but none of which would be caused by a passengers blind being open or shut.

#3 is only a Qantas safety issue, rest of planet doesnt really care.

Haha.

Taped the Opening and just finished watching it in fast forward... Not sure if I was watching Mardi Gras or Eurovision... Thank God for the Minions. And they could have used a few more lasers...

Door cards are usually not marked with room numbers these days, a lot don't even have the hotel name on them to prevent unauthorised access. But messy writing on the cardboard folder is a problem sometimes. If there is a lineup well trained staff dont yell "You are in room 307", they just say...

They are in there now, from 2018, but not when I went in 2011 I think. They have the new album and the doco about JBJ losing his voice etc out,

Visited Cleveland RnRHOF a while back and there was NO Bon Jovi in the place...even asked the guide in case I missed it. Glad to see that has been rectified.

Took me 3 visits to Paris to finally see the Catacombs, was always shut for some reason or other.

Those reasons are valid, but I still bet PIA wishes there was no doubt and he properly beat NOR by 10 seconds...as NOR said I'll let him past WHEN he catches me....we all know the dirty air prevents him safely catching up. History records the winner, not the reasons...I can see why NOR and many...
