    Annoying online hotel booking site inconsistency

    Desks are getting harder to find in hotel rooms, so I like seeing a listing with them in, however I agree Laundry is important, and I am wary when they say laundry vs guest laundry, I hate exorbitant charges for them to wash my clothes, often the underwear charge is dearer than buying a fresh...

    Tokyo Haneda slot - 2025

    QF won’t drop NRT, it’s too much of a hub for their codeshares with JQ which is why they are bringing back a SYD NRT service.

    Tokyo Haneda slot - 2025

    First Qantas A220 revealed

    Nowhere near enough pilots because the pay rates are below market in the hope pilots will like shiny new metal. A pilot whom I went to school with ended up being a RAAF top gun and later a CX check pilot on the A330/350 is now an A220 training captain, I imagine he hasn’t got much work given...

    Overnight a 737-400 freighter experienced an inflight fire and landed at GRU without loss of life, from the damage it would be safe to surmise Lithium Batteries may have played a part. https://asn.flightsafety.org/wikibase/459686

    Cutlery

    You need to update that to a GaN version, along with a power board that’s all I need these days. In the unlikely event I am on a cruise, I will leave the power board at home. I do usually have some wooden cutlery, just in case.
