My New Years Aviation Dreams & Goals

[Kelstarama]

That is always a boarding pass that any FF should appreciate

But there will almost certainly be someone sitting next to you :/

I did enjoy my SYD-JNB flight in 1A (points upgrade) last year with nobody next to me...
I don't expect to be that lucky again though.

1. Fly F to London
2. Fly J London-Paris and then New York - Melbourne (don't have the points for F)
3. That everyone travels safe in 2015!!

"Totally over the top" ????

For a mere $850 to fly Emirates in a F cabin for 4 hours, complete with an opportunity to shower in the sky, why wouldn't you ? I hardly think that is OTT... Its an experience!

This is definitely on my list for 2015.

Must confess that, had I not already had the shower-at-30,000-feet experience, I may not have been able to resist the temptation on the short flight!

I had at least four QF long-haul flights last year in 1A or 1K with nobody next to me (SYD-SCL 2x, SCL-SYD, SYD-JNB and I think also JNB-SYD, but I can't recall that one for certain) & SCL-SYD in 14A with 14B vacant .

How about:
4. Earn enough points to do 2. in F!

This ^^^^^ My daughter and I are going on our first over seas trip at the end of January, I am terrified out of my mind, more so after the AirAisa incident.

I had managed to calm and settle myself after the first two major plane incidents earlier this yr, as we had plenty of time, but now this one is a bit to close for my nerves...Basically there is a great big ocean between Australia and the USA and then back again.

God speed, safe and happy travels to everyone in 2015...Us included

In 2014, 1155 people were killed on Australian roads alone. It was not too many more than this that died worldwide in Aircraft fatalities. I personally don't know a single person that is scared to travel in a vehicle. Why anybody is scared to fly is beyond my comprehension. Flying is far, far safer.

You have control or a car and can see what is happening in and around you, if you have a problem with the drivers ability you can ask them to stop and get out.

Not really true. Don't know the average car load, but many times I, and I suspect many on here, are not in fact the driver and have absolutely no control over events. And it only takes one moment for a driver you feel comfortable with to make an irreversible mistake.

I reckon it is more a matter of perception rather than reality about how/where/when you feel safe.

Agreed perception ..... is the word ....
