    Crew Showed MA15+ Movie to all PAX on QF59

    Blimey, four pages! For anyone saying it wouldn't/couldn't be on fta tv I call bs. There is so much graphic sex and violence on every channel on fta tv. Once graphic sex and nudity was the preserve of SBS in its early days. Now it's every channel, and then there's the streaming channels. Just...

    Famous people seen (or even met) whilst flying or lounging

    Richie McCaw sat beside me on QF134 from CHC-to BNE yesterday afternoon. Only famous if you follow rugby. I hadn't even noticed until the the fa came and asked about pre-flight drinks and said "Welcome Mr bPeteb, welcome Mr McCaw". I looked around at him and said "oh, I'm gunna have some...

    Qantas Business Class meals & menus

    Thursday evening BNE-CHC. Spicy prawns. It was tasty. I'm enjoying the new salads. NP green leaves seem to have gone? Unfortunately no photos of the return. Meal yesterday afternoon CHC-BNE was ok to look at but failed in execution. Nice salad with some salmon draped across the top of it and...

    Qantas adds codeshare with South Africa's Airlink

    Good news that the plan is to extend the codeshare to flights to other southern African destinations. Very much enjoyed our Airlink flight to Livingstone.

    Cook Islands tips & recommendations

    Raro is just a couple of tours on the lagoon at Muri. We didn't bother. Aitutake is definitely a snorkelers paradise. We've done three different lagoon cruises and all focused on snorkeling. I suppose you could just sit on the boat, but you can only look out across the water for so long. You...

    Latitude 28 Degrees $8 per month starting September 2024

    Because we have some overseas travel booked and that card was used I was holding off cancelling. I've been sent the messages telling me I have a year free so I'll hang onto it now for a bit longer. bAlt will cancel his and apply for the Bankwest card.

    Of black maned lions and rampaging hippos

    No, not at all. You don't get out of the vehicle at any point during a safari. The only place you would be able to use one would be at a lodge like RF started his trip at.

    Of black maned lions and rampaging hippos

    From a safari perspective, if you're not ready to go Seat0B you'll miss out. We were also leaving lodged for our next destination by 7.30 on a number of mornings. Could be problematic for you.

    Of black maned lions and rampaging hippos

    One thing I just realised I hadn't added was bAlt's fantastic list of creatrues we encountered on our trip MOSI OI TUNYA and Zambezi River White Rhinos 9, Burchell’s Zebras, Giraffes, Elephants, Chacma baboons, Vervet monkeys, Swallows, Vulture, Bee-eater, Hamerkop, Egrets, Goliath heron...

    Of black maned lions and rampaging hippos

    Looks like a great trip RF. If you contact WE they'll be able to confirm if it's with Kibooko but I'm pretty sure it will be. Some of their shorter 'lodge' trips are in smaller vehicles (MB Spinters) but I'm not sure if this will be classed as that. This goes to both sides of the delta as well...

    Upgrade excitement

    We were sat at the gate at JNB just two weeks ago and two names were called and asked to go to the service desk. I watched two people go up and I don't know that I have ever seen a couple so excited. They sat down and the smiles were gigantic. More cloud 99 than 9. They ended up in a front of...
