SkyBus launches St Kilda Melbourne Airport shuttle
Apr 15, 2016, 09:43 AMDirect SkyBus from the airport to places that aren't the city is a pretty decent idea. St Kilda is fairly so-so as a hub, but I guess there's plenty of O&D traffic there. As someone who lives just north of the city it would be nice if I could catch a SkyBus without so much backtracking. Not ...

SkyBus launches St Kilda Melbourne Airport shuttle
Apr 15, 2016, 09:41 AMI assume that the operators have sucked a lot of politicians' dicks to get that sweetheart deal. Heck, there's even a PTV bus stop at the airport, for the infrequent 901 bus which goes to Broadmeadows station from which you can catch a train... a good way to save ten bucks if you've got a lot of...

The New Qantas Inflight Safety Video - Your Thoughts?
Jan 28, 2016, 10:41 PMDisagree, once you're on the plane and have had your own IFE choice interrupted to get blasted with the safety announcment, it will seem even longer.

The New Qantas Inflight Safety Video - Your Thoughts?
Jan 28, 2016, 10:38 PMI didn't like that one, personally. I was a big fan of the Sports Illustrated Bikini one, before the feminists got it banned. [Deleted by admin - inappropriate language.]

Melbourne Airport has recently opened terminal 4, (Tiger, Jetstar, Rex) anyone experienced it and care to comment.
Dec 15, 2015, 08:52 AMNot really funny, the two airports have very different priorities.

New aircraft design puts passengers into the cargo hold
Dec 09, 2015, 11:07 AMMakes sense, if the space can be more profitably used for passengers than cargo. Can't say I'd particularly miss windows, especially on long flights. I know Lufthansa A340s at least have a downstairs toilet, which is actually pretty nice. Going for a stroll downstairs makes a nice change to the ...

Looking for advice on New York hotels Do we need to be midtown or is transport easy to get around Never been there before and this is for personal trip
Dec 08, 2015, 10:58 AMDepends how often you want to be midtown. The NYC subway is reasonably fast and efficient, if not always pleasant. Personally though I'd still stay somewhere I actually wanted to be, rather than staying somewhere else and catching trains every day, unless doing so was absolutely murderous on my ...

Singapore's Changi Airport: How to Get to Different Terminals [Map]
Dec 08, 2015, 10:48 AMEveryone praises it to the moon, I'm not that enthused. Everywhere is a long walk from everywhere through a neverending shopping mall. You gotta go through security at the gate, which sucks. And I find it hard to navigate because every direction looks the same. Maybe I'm nitpicking,...

Qantas Club Dress Code Whinge!
Dec 03, 2015, 11:56 AMQantas international and domestic lounges aren't really all that dissimilar, I think it's a like for like comparison.

Marriott brings five-star luxury to Melbourne Docklands precinct
Dec 03, 2015, 11:55 AMHilton South Wharf is close to the convention centre which presumably accounts for a lot of its business, and it's also near the casino. Harbour Town is a complete dead end.

Marriott brings five-star luxury to Melbourne Docklands precinct
Dec 03, 2015, 11:52 AMThe "vibrant culinary scene" and "unique culture" of Docklands? Well, there's a Nando's. And a gelato shop. There's actually a decent coffee joint if you don't mind a fifteen-minute walk from Harbour Town. And then there's... uh...

I would love to know why Melbourne Airport doesn't have an observation deck.
Dec 03, 2015, 11:49 AMBecause they cost money and they don't make money. [Deleted]

From Melbourne to San Francisco what are the airline options to choose from, I'm not loyal to any airline, I just want the best Business Class experience.
Dec 02, 2015, 11:52 AMI too endorse the NZ option. Stopping in AKL beats the pants off any of the other possibilities. I've been doing this route for years. Note that the MEL-AKL-MEL flights which connect with the SFO flights are 777 so you get full international business class the whole way. QF would be secon...
