Island vibes await in the Maldives’ best resorts and hotels
Apr 02, 2024, 08:51 AMTruly a beautiful place but comes with a " WHOPPING " price tag. A villa by the beach is $1500 USD/per person/ per night . That's $3000 USD for a couple / night. This type of accomodation is for the very rich or the " Lotto " winners of which I am neither so obviously I won't be staying there.

Air New Zealand scraps Works Deluxe seats
Oct 25, 2023, 07:19 AMkrisdude. I does not matter which seat she had , either the aisle or window seat is of no consequence. The issue was who had the use of the " middle empty seat "?

Air New Zealand scraps Works Deluxe seats
Oct 23, 2023, 08:23 AMThe works deluxe seat that promises " an empty seat " next to you for use was a stupid idea ! It's all very good having an empty seat along side you but so does the third passenger in that row. Who has the use of the empty seat then ? Obviously both passengers adjacent to the empty seat whic...

Review: JW Marriott Resort Gold Coast, tailor-made for fun in the sun
Oct 06, 2023, 08:20 AMIt looks a lot better after the refurbishment. Having stayed there in the past and I found it terribly noisy at night, especially the rooms near the main road. Several of my family have stayed there over the years have also had to ask to be moved to the Western side of the Hotel for t...

What’s next for Qantas in the post-Alan Joyce era?
Sep 07, 2023, 09:27 AMIt's all very good asking for constructive suggestions but as has been shown the CEO and the Board do their own thing anyway and seemingly without a lot of thought for the benefit of the Airlines main source of income " the passenger"It's high time for the new CEO and Board to rethink...

Virgin Australia is finally jetting off from Cairns to Tokyo
Jun 28, 2023, 08:11 AMWhilst I always travel with VA Domestically there's absolutely no way I would sit in the old B737-800 for eight hours!!!!, It's ok for 4 or 5 hours but 8 hrs.?? No Way when one can fly on other International Airlines with very much better equipment and seating, service etc.

Review: The Westin Perth, where mixing business and pleasure is easy
Jun 23, 2023, 06:00 PMI stayed there for 2 nights in a Club Suite a few weeks ago. Whilst the rooms were great they lacked a "warm " feeling and seemed rather cold and impersonal. The same for the rest of the place , all stonework and tiles , very bland. The Garum restaurant was very good , great food but rather noisy...

Here are Hong Kong and Macau’s newest Michelin restaurants
Apr 28, 2023, 07:04 AMThe only issue I have with high star Michelin restaurants is that the food portion is miserable and the price is massive!!!!If you simply want a good feed for a reasonable price then these are not the place for you!If you want to just have the dining experience then these are th...

Review: Virgin’s ‘new concept’ Boeing 737 business class
Feb 05, 2022, 11:35 AMI would hope that VA try to use these as much as possible on the Transcontinental Route where J class passengers would have would more time to enjoy appreciate the better seating. It is so sad to no longer have that fabulous A330 seating and service across the Contin...

Qantas locks in domestic fleet order for Airbus A321XLR, A220 jets
Dec 19, 2021, 07:29 AMVery happy to see QF choosing Airbus for it's fleet expansion.In every way the Airbus product is far nicer for the passenger as far as comfort and especially the noise level goes.The A320 is streets ahead of the poor old outdated B737 max and if you've ever travelled in the A350 one would know ju...
