    What cheeses me off

    When you go to make a coffee this morning using the “milk” you made a special excursion to buy yesterday, only to see it curdle as it’s poured into the cup. Turns out my milk was fermented flavoured milk, aka Yakult style. Must scan label with google translate next time in the shop.

    How does Accor treat you as an Elite guest?

    Middle East Airspace Diversions/Cancellations

    Flight radar can pickup anything with an ADSB transponder, and it’s possible missiles, drones and balloons have one. As for radar detectability, we are not talking about SSR/TSR here. The signal was unique to FR24, and would appear to be a deliberate attempt to deceive, possibly a device...

    Air Traffic Control SYD Industrial Action

    Departure delays due operational restrictions, probably staff related. There is a bit of unrest between the historical union responsible for ATC - Civil Air and the TWU, with controllers being given the right to join the TWU via a court, but that is unlikely to be reflected in strike action.
