  • Qantas considers more Boeing 787 sightseeing flights

    Sep 18, 2020, 10:29 AM

    So let me get this straight.   Covid19/Coronavirus is a HIGHLY contagious disease, that spreads easily person to person, especially inside.YET.... QF is happy to put on joyride flights for 7 hours to nowhere! ...selling all seats.  Ok, ummm, Ok.

  • How quickly will travellers embrace the COVID-19 vaccine?

    Sep 08, 2020, 11:04 AM

    I was told that Australians are vaccine crazy.  Well good luck.  It takes 10-15 years of intense research before trials of ANY vaccine...no matter how many people are involved.    So what exactly are they forcing on you and the whole world?.   This is crazy that pe...

    Sorry, but vaccines take a MINIMUM of 10-15 years to research, develop and TEST! 

  • Cathay's new A321neo business class set for October debut

    Aug 16, 2020, 03:38 AM

    I'm sorry but this is total PR nonsense, that no one is buying  "the majority of the flights are below two hours, stretched to four and at most six"So great, put these exclusively 100% on the routes up to four hours. Six hours in a recliner is not even seen among the serious US transcon play...

    Interesting info on this guy. I truly wish him well!These supersonic ventures always seem like a carrot.

  • Sleeping on flights: pyjamas vs underwear or shorts only

    Dec 11, 2018, 04:32 PM

    I have a great pair of very thin PJ shorts that I usually wear around the house only... but now use them on overnight flights along with a nice comfortable t-shirt. Works better than PJ's (own or given by airline) but overall PJ bottoms and t-shirt work great. So underwear and shorts (not boxer...

  • los angeles hotels suggestions please

    Aug 23, 2018, 04:48 PM

    As a resident of LA I would second the earlier suggestion. Downtown LA has cleaned up a lot and plenty of good choices. Subway to Universal/Hollywood/Santa Monica - so very central for getting around. Im sure there is a train or shuttle to Disney from there as well. The subway goes to the ai...

  • Best route from Sydney to New York?

    Jul 14, 2018, 07:17 PM

    If you've never been to Hawaii, I would go via HNL and break the trip there! They have a decent biz class lie flat seat on both flights. Otherwise via HKG on CX. The whole claiming bags at first US airport/re-check is a pain and you can avoid it. Via NRT or HND is another great option. If I ...

  • Delta Premium Economy

    Delta has announced several A350 routes up to July 2018.https://thepointsguy.com/2017/12/new-delta-a350-route-to-asia/Based upon the last route announced LAX-PVG, the turn time in LA bodes well for the A350 planes to do a LAX-PVG-LAX-SYD-LAX-PVG loop. All of DL's Asia flights leave in the mornin...
