I wonder if it was a relatively last-minute thing? I mean some of the state premiers are busy doing important stuff, but others are washing their hair that night … and it’s interesting that “busy electioneering” is a reason NOT to meet with The King rather than being a reason to jump on the...

I was not previously aware that this was a power the Royals wielded.

I don't recall a thread on AFF when Olivia Rodrigo or Blackpink arrived, this King Charles bloke must be extremely entertaining onstage! (I guess Prince & Queen were both pretty darned good so it makes sense ...)

But … surely … there’s a HUGE difference between expensive private school thug bullies and housing commission thug bullies?! I mean they both deal drugs, just to different clientele.

It's "Ta For Now"! :D

We had this in either SYD or TPE on CI too (can’t recall which it was).

While I can’t answer your question, to get better info from those who know; what is your status level, and which frequent flyer scheme are you with?

Quick look on Google Flights, which only goes up to something like the 8th of September at this time, is showing ~$7500/person return, Sydney-Lisbon and Rome-Sydney. I doubt anyone much has a sale on, that far out, as yet. It’s combinations &/or codeshares … they seem to be combos of airlines...

Sorry can’t answer the quesion, but a minor side-comment … don’t make the mistake I nearly made and discount China Airlines due to the name, they’re Taiwanese so don’t have quite the same “disdain” based approach to customer interactions as all the Chinese Communist Party airlines. In my...

Sorry @tmdl I don't recall. I'm not a bubbly person, I mean I'll happily drink it but it doesn't excite me ... however I do remember my wife enthusing about how much she enjoyed it & how exxy it was. Being more a Reds person, the Chianti there looks like it's a ~$60 bottle and the stuff they...

Aw jeez, that's about a millionty times more interesting than J Sydney <==> London in 2018!!! They pretty much had "a red", "a white", " a bubbly" and a Johnny Walker blended Scotch - and that was about it. Those wines & boozes are probably not as fancy as the Emirates F from 2016, but in...

@p--and--t … it has occurred tome that the senders of that one must have a certain … “mindset”, assuming that they can get away with sending it to people who’d think it was real. ie. they’re obviously thinking that the off-taste stuff they’re into is normal enough that others will think...

What’s the extra cost, out of interest? There’re no other issues with any of them are there? (Ask this ‘cos on a 747 flight I had once the seats with an exit-aisle in front had half a door poking into the spot my legs were supposed to be - I could stretch one leg right out but the other was all...

I thought the question (which I was unable to answer) was whether any of those occasional special deals has arisen, where for a limited time an airline might give you points in their scheme if you empty all your points out of a competitor's scheme? As in, whether there is a current deal where...

That’s a bit harsh, True North is just trying to truthfully display through their effect on AFF what the effect upon the world of cruise-ships is!

Yes I’ve not seen that thread before, but it’s definitely one of the ads. Refreshing the page usually fixes it, as a different ad comes up. Messages need to be short though as there’s a risk the troublesome ad (or series of ads) pops-up while you’re typing … Of course, paying for ad-free prolly...

This is why the British navy had such big scurvy problems when they were colonising the world! Ohhh … sorry, u-nions.

Unions? Weren’t they the things that recently strong-armed the NSW state government into putting “drivers” on the driverless trains which’ve been operating in Sydney faultlessly for 5 years and much longer elsewhere (eg. the 40yo DLR in London)?

That could be ‘cos buying something at Myer normally means paying the market rate for that thing (or even less when on sale) whereas there’s not a lot you can buy from the QFF scheme that’s good value for points or for cash (aside: I’ve noticed that sometimes the wine deals are good), and...

Do airlines cancel routes after they’ve sold tickets?! I thought stuff like this was always announced 6+ months in advance ‘cos the tickets weren’t yet on sale for the cancelled routes!!
