    RTW in F/J - Hand Carry Only - Iceland, Finland, Washington and a few other places

    That's a rite of passage there; they take it very seriously. Did you get the Black Pudding? A brilliant day for all monarchists! Do you recommend accommodation at the VSC?

    SQ321 LHR-SIN Encountered Severe Turbulence [At least 1 Fatality and 30 Injured]

    Both, but Singapore due to SIA’s domicile, plus where the travel contract was made (where was the ticket purchased?) and the place of the accident - Thailand SIA have apologised for the incident and offered compensation to their passengers. SIA is currently hoping to settle the matter -...

    SQ321 LHR-SIN Encountered Severe Turbulence [At least 1 Fatality and 30 Injured]

    Thailand has ratified the Montreal Convention - therefore claimants can use the Thai legal system for compensation as they can utilise the UK and Singapore legal systems being the originator of the flight/destination and domicile of Singapore Airlines. I believe they can also use the territory...

    I would like to see elitism reintroduced into this organisation and a special Lounge Crawl from the Concorde Room. Who is up for this? Put me down for plats re the current plans on D-Day 2026. Unlike my grandpa who used to fly a lot from various airfields in Southern England, I do intend to...

    I believe CX are having a customer focus revival and focusing on the soft product as they used to before crass corporatisation and Joyce like managerment https://www.latterly.org/cathay-pacific-marketing-strategy/...

    No noise of this happening, however, is scheduled for when the Japanese Maples lose their leaves. .........(JL put them to work on the US routes first)

    Thanks for this, that looks like a very comfortable room.

    I would have had $30 on Fitzroy and bought a Henschke Wheelright 2016!

    2024 AFL Grand Final

    I agree, but they are fairly even odds in my books. If the Swans get out to a four-goal lead before halftime, recheck the odds and make a call. I am hoping the Lions get up. I have great respect for fa_an, a good Tassie boy.

    RTW in F/J - Hand Carry Only - Iceland, Finland, Washington and a few other places

    I have noticed this. If it is the reverse order of the first service, are the last people to be served mains the first to be 'desserted' ? Doesn't that give the front more time to graze? I don't get that; they have this cough about; I reckon you always need a toothbrush but not PJ's. So far...

    SQ321 LHR-SIN Encountered Severe Turbulence [At least 1 Fatality and 30 Injured]

    It would be interesting to see if this matter is litigated in the American legal system. Under the Montreal Convention, passengers can choose to pursue claims from their country of residence, destination, or where the airline is domiciled. One suspects the Island State is firming its...

    RTW in F/J - Hand Carry Only - Iceland, Finland, Washington and a few other places

    It hasn't changed yet, as JAL only has 3 x 351s and is maxed out doing the US routes. JL43/44 is still scheduled for the 'fall of 2024' with no specific date.

    Ah, that's true - I hope it's not your best flight.

    RTW in F/J - Hand Carry Only - Iceland, Finland, Washington and a few other places

    Yep, I didn't get this either. It's eerily similar to QF292, in which AY operates for QF on the SIN-SYD route. BA292 is a codeshare flight for AA/IB/EI/AY (not QF) and BA metal. What have I missed here?

    And then nosedives in a 737 from SIN to DRW!
