Air France to launch domestic business class seats in 2020
Jan 28, 2020, 11:12 AM@OzGlobal Yes and no.The problem with comparing Australia against France et al is that all these countries pack far more people into much less land, so their dense population centres are all relatively close to each other. We do not have anything approaching this level of density in Australia, so...

This simple trick helps ensure your suitcase arrives on the belt
Jan 05, 2019, 04:24 PMI make it a point to remove all stickers as soon as I arrive at my destination, as I used to travel around Asia a lot on AirAsia in the noughties growing up and they used to stick their tags directly on the handle (without the loose looping proper airlines' tags use), which got really sticky if n...

Review: The Sebel Melbourne Docklands apartment hotel by Accor Le Club
Sep 14, 2018, 09:32 AMGreat review, Chris! You're spot-on about the dire lack of supermarket availability nearby—however, there's a full Coles on the other side of Southern Cross station (Spencer St near Lonsdale St), which is stretching 'walking distance', but manageable if you're returning from work and/or me...

Aug 28, 2018, 11:53 AMI imagine everyone is looking forward to a better terminal transfer network, which will be utterly necessary if Sydney Airport want to grow both sides of the airfield without increasing both congestion and emissions.I am, however, not convinced that a low-capacity, only-on-demand system like the ...

Qantas boosts flights to Singapore, Jakarta, Noumea
Jun 15, 2018, 10:40 AMI would prefer to see a later departure ex-SIN, closer to midnight, as that is much easier on the jetlag. I would even go so far as to number that flight QF6.

Jetstar could add business class to its domestic Airbus A321neo fleet
Jun 07, 2018, 06:24 PMThe A321LR gives Jetstar the ability to take the CNS-NRT and CNS-KIX up to daily (and even a little beyond) while maintaining capacity discipline, so I would be inclined to suspect that that will happen first, although the possibilities offered by this most promising aeroplane do appear to be rea...

Jetstar could add business class to its domestic Airbus A321neo fleet
Jun 07, 2018, 02:44 PMJetstar already have a small subfleet of A321s, which only run on certain routes. They carry a substantially larger passenger load than the regular A320s (with the newer and refurbished frames having a whopping fifty more seats than the A320), so they are not quite as easily and immediately inter...

Jetstar could add business class to its domestic Airbus A321neo fleet
Jun 06, 2018, 04:16 PMThis is, of course, based on theoretical still-air range, which may not work out in the real world with winds and weather, because at 3,690nm great circle distance, SYD-SGN is right at the limit of what is expected to be possible for the A321LR.

Jun 06, 2018, 12:15 PMOut of all of JQ's existing ASEAN routes, only Bali and Saigon are within realistic range for the A321LR from the East Coast. However, there may be potential for new ASEAN destinations to be added with the A321LR.

May 09, 2018, 10:17 AMThe Chinese food looks especially good, and things like noodles and congee work beautifully in the air--and for passengers of East and Southeast Asian background, these dishes are wonderfully comforting.

Review: Singapore Airlines business class, SQ288 Sydney-Canberra-Singapore
May 04, 2018, 03:18 PMAbsolutely--it's the light that makes all the difference, so I'm a huge fan of mood lighting to create a slow and gentle "sunrise". The "starry night" mode is really nice, too--EK have this.I find that I sleep much better with the later departures out of SIN. Before it was axed with the return of...
