What cheeses me off

And I think the word you wanted was 'humane' rather than 'human'.

Not necessarily ... she may want to pop a few.

Do all ducks have a little sign around their necks indicating which ones are native and which are okay to shoot, using your premise? I don't think they stay still so you can check either.

Now that reminds me of a former employer who was a farmer. They used to go out at night on his massive 4WD with double headlights at the front and more lights at the top and the side.

He said he’d scream ‘here kitty kitty’ and if it ran away it was obviously feral!

I thought you had a magic switch in your "car" to help with that situation?

Well yes there is that for traffic, but my superpower specifically relates to supermarket and immigration queues.

That is absolutely disgusting and I would have made a formal complaint - smokers/vapers sharing their fumes in inappropriate places are simply the most inconsiderate people alive.

At least you can block out some coughs media with noise cancelling headphone, but you cant choose not to breathe.

TBH I didn’t even notice the vaping! It was my seat mate that noticed.

It wasn’t one of those huge cloud devices. Pretty discrete and no smell. Plus the generous seat pitch and string AC meant it was contained.

Cigarette smoking would have been completely different.

I suspect any formal complaints wouldn’t have gone down well. It’s a region where no one cares much about anything

WCMO dynamic pricing on airlines. Yeah yeah I know it's common and why it happens. But a short notice booking BNE-ADL rtn booking for a funeral nearly three times CNS-ADL retn for same dates really CMO.

I can return to TYO for less!

JQ dearest , QF cheaper than VA for return.

Have you checked for bereavement/Compassionate fares?

Interesting, I wasn't aware of this.

Scouting around on the internet (always dangerous I know) seems from reports mainly applies for travel less than 72hrs away, will squeeze you on a flight if sold out, if you lucky might get a 10% discount but not always.

Is there something I should know? The flight isn't until next Wednesday (outside 72hr window) and already booked non refundable cheapest fare available.

Seems only Qantas do it and for domestic only. VA and JQ allow for rebooking existing fares and may waive fees in such cases.

I guess if you have already booked then it is moot.
