For those of us who remember the old CX, the cucumber sandwich livery is to return on an A350, although the article refers to it as Lettuce Leaf. https://www.executivetraveller.com/news/cathay-pacific-a350-lettuce-retro-livery What's next? Marco Polo commercial with a suitable replacement...

I recently found myself in Japan and a need to fly to Rome and discovered the Korean low cost carrier T'way. For those who don't know they fly ex-CX 777-300ERs with the Business class seats from CX in the reverse herringbone pattern. I think they used to have CX F product in some planes. In...

Mr Svesson of Qantas told the Senate that he had experienced the scheme as a consumer when living in Europe for three years, and said: “I have nothing good to say about it.” What a joke and misinformation!

Don't rely on the train to/from the airport today. It's mayhem. https://www.news.com.au/national/nsw-act/news/commuters-warned-to-prepare-for-delays-amid-dispute-with-rail-union-and-nsw-government/news-story/8dd18154913f09b5ee87c6f2a7f4adad

I had my first experience with the new MyWay+ app and associated QR code. Well, what a disaster. Holding up people boarding the bus while the machine tries to read the QR code on the bus, and it's even worse when exiting the bus. It's even worse on the tram stations when the sun is shining on...

This flight is due to depart at 11:25 from ADL to CBR. As the morning rolled along I recevied a number of updates of pushing back the flight departure, first to 11:40, then 12:50 (advised at 11:45); then 13:25 (also advised at 11:45); then 13:40 (also advised at 11:45); then two more updates of...

A little excursion off the runway this morning at CHC.... https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/new-zealand/2024/05/video-emerges-of-moment-jetstar-flight-veers-off-the-runway-at-christchurch-airport.html

How the mighty fall..... You'd expect the chair of the board to resign over a fall of 181 places in most trusted brands in Australia, cf. Optus fell 13 places after the data leak.

Now this is a headline that I never thought I would see, even though a savvy traveller may sometimes question award giving organisations for their judgment. It is true that Fiumicino is much better than it used to be, however it is still somewhat a work in progress...

On my recent anniversary I noticed that my DSC for a flight on the penultimate day were not rolled over under the provisions for the 'recovery' but were deleted. I have searched the T&Cs but can't find any comment about the negation of DSCs from the rollover. Any help/experiences in the...

I came across this news story on BBC: Russia bans British airlines from its airspace I am beginning to think that Qantas may be caught up in this as Putin's war of aggression on Ukraine continues. I've just noticed that QF1 is flying over Russia at the moment and wonder what other options for...

I just came across this old Ansett ad from 1992 advertising that you could redeem your miles to fly on "the four greatest airlines", BA, UA, CX and AN. I recall my parents using miles to fly UA to NY in about 1994 in business.

Coming back on VA52 (HIR-BNE) recently there were only 23 of us. I support Virgin on this route despite being only Tuesday and Thursday, as it would become an effective monopoly without them. Another passenger said that they are subsidised to keep the flight going, and I did notice that there...

Interesting idea, but I think unlikely. One commentator suggested that United could have a jail module for some of their passengers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AaChszhz4o4

Russell Crowe lashes out at Virgin Australia over ban on hoverboards | Film | The Guardian Quite a bit of entitlement mentality going on here.

Just a warning if you get this gate with an A330. The plane has to be towed into the gate, which means waiting for a tug as well as a towbar (which caused a minor delay last night). The steep angle of the bridge seems to indicate it's a tight squeeze for the A330.

I was just watching a youtube clip on the AA channel regarding elite status. The narrator says that "Beginning April 7th and continuing all throughout 2015 we'll reward you with even more Elite Qualifying points...." It goes on to say about the 2EQP for discount J/F and 3 EQP for full fare...

I was just putting in my details for the chauffeur pick up in Rome and wondered whether the chauffeur knows to drop the '0' at the beginning of the number after the country code at pick up time? Any experiences with this.
