    Short turnarounds: Have you flown back from your destination with the same crew?

    Also same aircraft. I remember I flew with EK 77W from SYD to DXB, however there was a problem with the engines. It took more than 3 hours to stay inside the plane. What a nightmare! When I arrived in DXB, I had one night free stopover. Lovely place to stay there! The next day, I hoped...

    I had the best time following "the golden age of jet" flight trip. I flew from HAM to DXB to SIN to BNE. Imagine that we flew similar flight paths between Austalia and Europe or the Great air race

    Article: Not All Economy Class Products Are the Same

    Well... I think most airlines have already changed from 3-3-3 to 3-4-3 in 777s. Few airlines such as Singapore airlines and Turkey Airlines that have 3-3-3 in 777s.

    I flew with Etihad before COVID. I remember there were no amenity kits and menu. Now you are so lucky that Etihad has improved a lot - it has got amenity kits, menu, large amount of food. That was much better than my flight! I read the forum and heard the aviation geek complained about...

    Fly between Brisbane and Sydney - Do you remember what the lowest airfare with Qantas and Virgin Australia is? One way - about between $80 and $100? I have looked at the Qantas red tail sale today and think that it's still too high!

    Moving carry on luggage to another overhead bin??

    Yeah I do not like people to touch my bag. What about if you did not see people behind the back, they may plant some stuff inside your bag's pocket? What about if they took some stuff from your bag?
