Island vibes await in the Maldives’ best resorts and hotels
Mar 29, 2024, 07:35 AMAlso good to visit the capital Male well worth a day wandering around to see the country’s main hub. It takes an hour to walk around, and mostly devoid of cars, but don’t expect a drink. Go across to the airport for that.

Qantas confirms flights from new Western Sydney airport
Jun 08, 2023, 01:20 PMOne of the images has a different design and also a wind farm along the runway which is weird. Having flights serving western Sydney including parramatta will have quite a few takers.

Qantas to fly Finnair’s amazing new business class
May 19, 2023, 03:08 PMWet leasing is fairly common and qantas have done it before. With a five year lead time on new aircraft and Finnair having surplus aircraft then it makes perfect business sense while qantas waits for new aircraft to arrive over the next few years. Hardly a fail.

Qantas, Air France in talks over non-stop Australia-Paris flights
Feb 07, 2023, 03:50 PMI prefer a short leg than a long leg even in economy. Two longish legs in crowded airports don’t cut it for me. Via Perth most times for me. The Singapore first lounge could swing it though. Dubai forget it.

Review: United Airlines Brisbane-San Francisco 787 Polaris business class
Nov 13, 2022, 06:28 PMMy experience was in economy and they had no idea of how to manage passengers on a 14 hour flight. Miserable food and drink options. The idea of a Vegemite and cheese toastie as the mid flight snak reminds me of the half sandwich I was offered. Too bad if you don’t like Vegemite. That maybe...

Qantas pushes for Sydney Airport mega-terminal
Oct 26, 2022, 03:33 PMI suspect the cost of a people mover isn’t that cheap; and virgin won’t go to the international terminal so they will need the same treatment as in a terminal revamp. Interesting to see how much western Sydney takes. Probably all of Jetstar but interesting to see how many others, and ...

Why Perth’s new airport train derails Qantas passengers
Oct 11, 2022, 06:27 PMI can’t see it before 2025. 2024 could be possible but they would have to get cracking in the next few months.

Five reasons you shouldn't bin your boarding passes while travelling
Sep 30, 2022, 05:50 PMNot many offer digital boarding passes for international. Too many different scanners I expect.
