With JQ undercutting it on capital city routes and QF adding 45% capacity on regional routes meant even if Rex had a competent board things were stacked against. Slots were just one more thing as being denied slots when the flight times were more profitable.

There are some CX J awards from HKG to PER on 16,18/11 and MEL on 17/11. Some SQ J awards from BKK via Sin to SYD,MEL and PER but not showing up from SIN. So check the VA site. I saw also some ANA J awards HND-SIN. VA is only open until 11/11 but I note J awards SIN-BNE available on 8,10/11 but...

Though it is not all through Rex's actions. First QF and VA hoarding slots so Rex couldn't access premium times. Second JQ in 2021 transferring A320s from Japan and Singapore to Australia so that in 2024 They operated 38% more domestic seats in 2024 than in 2019. In the first half of 2024 they...

So far only Sydney cabbies but a good cabbie in either Sydney or Bangkok is one who takes you by the shortest or quickest route and the charge is at the lower end of the expected. Those are always getting a tip. The others do not. The total cost for me often is around the same. From memory the...

Sunday was our day to have our family's Christmas lunch. It was at the Sydney Rowing club at Abbotsford. Our Daughter in law is a member and rower there and ou grandson is really into rowing at school so it was a no brainer. Good views over the Parramatta river. The table decorations. The...

The views from the room in the morning. Part of the welcome goodies. There was also a more macarons and choccies but they didn't wait for the photo to be taken. Breakfast in the morning and as usual I had eggs Benedict. I had forgotten to put my Amitryptyline in. They were out on the...

No mention of a tip at all. In fact we were 3 out of 3 for honest cabbies so they did all get a tip. But about time I did some more of the TR. The first night just snacks at the IC club. Staff members here have all been excellent. And they all lve their jobs and like the new GM as much as they...

And we flew TG in J SYD-BKK on LM awards 5 days ago. None now though.

Tonight a dip I had never had before - Muhammara which has its origins in Aleppo, Syria. I really liked it. Based on red capsicum, walnuts and molasses.

Park in Bangkok next to Central World.

My Bangkok special Khao Soi. Nice and spicy.

That’s real Perfection for you QLD style .

Another today. Walking back to the hotel through a mall when 8 young women were walking the other way stretched right across the walkway. Hello,hello I said to myself here is another WCMO post coming. I stopped against a shop window. The woman coming towards me was using her phone as a mirror...

Never been shown on the awards available page before. Which is what I stated I was looking at.

No but lots of young children in way out costumes dancing and singing.

I was able to get round a Christmas market here in Bangkok yesterday. And if I go back at night I can even get mulled wine or hot chocolate.

Except that it has never been shown before and I search that route regularly as we get 3-4 trips and always get J awards. I have been searching on VA for the last 18 months as my KF miles have all gone.

I am at 2.6 million miles with only a small amount from flying. No way I could get to 4 million miles now.

On Tuesday on our flight to Bangkok there was a young boy in the seat in front of me who was playing games on his device. He dropped it down the back of his seat. There were 3 crew members trying to retrieve it. They found it near the floor just in front of me. Eventually called in the smallest...

Thanks. But this is the first time I have ever seen them advertised. And we have 3-4 J awards per year on the route.
