• UK Bremont also make some impressive bespoke watches.

  • Such as shame. When the Airport Extreme came out, it was the router of choice for NBN FTTH 100M plan, as it could drive it at full speed and had a clean design without all these MIMO aerials of competitor routers.

  • Fantastic news for us in CBR. Avoids routing via SYD/MEL for lie-flat Biz, and now a chance to upgrade to F.

  • I (quickly) looked at the IAG Capital Markets Day slidepack from November 2017. Fuel / Fuel efficiency isnt the highest margin contributor but wil improve as new aircraft delivered. Ahead of fuel are Staff costs and Suppliers. Big focus on squeezing suppliers in their 5 year plan & potentia...

  • Airbus/Bombardier and now (potentially) Boeing/Embraer will place a question mark on the success of the Mitsubishi Aircraft MRJ...

  • Ditto.. Excellent.

  • With mobile terminate rates falling, and Voda plc having an extensive NZ network, easy way for VHA to grab some needed revenue.$5/day is still a great deal.

  • Smart casual works for me. I've also found asking for an upgrade works best when you're dressed appropriately for the cabin you want. 

  • Would have been great years ago for VA to join *A, but the massive growth from the ME3 have triggered defensive "virtual" alliances to offer customers equivalent coverage/schedules.   Ultimately this tact devalues the need for alliances, and the alliances themselves have inconsiste...

    Agree - better to have fast reporting with an occasional redaction than wait for perfection..  

  • Once the ACCC regulated merchant cost, the incentive to bargain with card program fees were eliminated.  Hotels, etc. can argue this is their true cost.  Perhaps an unintended consequence.... or not..  Pity the consumer.

    Do you have a URL that exposes the scrapping of RR and GEnx replacement?  Bloomberg only highlights that RR will replace the blades on all 100 engines (which I assume for nix as they are under TotalCare) - the cost of such a transition is market moving for GE and RR..   https://www.bl...

  • COEX in Seoul also offers a similar down-town check-in service.  Used it many times.
