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.]

Looking for advice on New York hotels Do we need to be midtown or is transpo...
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 bu...

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.

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, ...
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 second be...

Can anyone recommend any good aircraft discussion forums?
Nov 11, 2015, 09:02 PMThe big problem with aircraft discussion sites is that they tend to attract the sort of people who really like discussing aircraft.

Badgerys Creek Airport.
Oct 24, 2015, 07:23 PMWhat do New York, Tokyo and London have in common? They're bloody huge. Unlike Sydney.Any good examples of Sydney-sized metro areas which happily support a couple of airports, without one being a remote hole used only by discount carriers? Berlin, but that's a weird temporary case. Miami/Fort Lau...

Badgerys Creek - Hey all, what are your thoughts on Badgerys Creek Airport?
Oct 20, 2015, 10:00 AMIt doesn't really remind me of the Brandenburg hype. Badgery's Creek isn't supposed to replace SYD, and nobody is suggesting that it's going to be particularly big or grand to start with.More like Avalon, which is a bit of a failure (unless you're going to Geelong [and can't afford a helicopter])...

Does anyone know when American will obtain government approval to fly to Aust...
Sep 29, 2015, 09:06 AMYes, it may. So why did you feel the need to inject yours? Given that the question was "When will they start flying", not "Do you think they're a good airline?" In answer to the question: I believe they're scheduled to start in December. I don't know when the approval will come through but I...

VA A330 SYD or MEL to AKL - viable?
Sep 28, 2015, 10:18 AMIndeed. Also, as I always say, the motivations for all these fleet decisions come from vast spreadsheets full of numbers which none of us will ever get to see, analysed by a bunch of clever people who do nothing all day except stare at those spreadsheets.If you want an explanation as to why flyin...
