    As a keen reader of Royal history, you will know those trips were never government-sanctioned ;)

    King Charles Visit 2024

    If you read the Royal site (as one should), it is ambiguous as to who left before the other—you have deduced, most probably correctly, that Camilla ducked out first. It was reported the King left in an Embraer Legacy 600 - make of that what you will. I'm heading to the airport tomorrow in a...

    Yes that's very true, those rules can be changed as well. VA are working on more exclusivity for those who pay more.

    I don't think he will be here. He's terribly focused on planning a Melbourne dinner that seems to have gone the way of the dodo and local economy.

    These changes will help trim the current self-important riff-raff numbers in the lounge. VA has been generous here in the past but they are now making profits, courting exotic types from way off sandy places and generally growing up. Harder decisions need to be made. Having status is a choice...

    The last time we met, you were a spring chicken! 1729153815 I may ask for a UG to the Sofitel. How will the Olympics go if we can't fix the AC?

    Qantas to operate evacuation flights from Lebanon via Cyprus to Sydney

    I would expect every business providing a service to be compensated. Businesses are not charities, and it is unacceptable to expect them to operate without payment or at a loss.
