American Airlines restarts Sydney-Los Angeles flights
Sep 30, 2021, 05:30 AMPlease change the picture, since the seats shown above have never been on the AA 787-9.AA uses the same seat as now found in the new BA Club World cabin, it's exactly the same with just a door added on.The pic above is from the 787-8 (while a good seat - disliked by some, sure) the 787-8 does not...

Etihad’s Airbus A350 is getting ready to make its debut
May 24, 2021, 03:46 PM"although an alternating layout means that half the seats – those next to the aisle – face backwards" - Why is this written, like its a negative?MANY of us like the rear facing seats ...its not an issue at all.

Air New Zealand eyes Hobart-Auckland flights
Mar 22, 2021, 06:45 AMI love that Australia uses the A330 extensively on domestic runs, but I would hardly call these "big birds" That distinction sits with the largest plane in a fleet, which for Qantas is still the A380.Very sad to see 2 QF A380s parked at LAX. Just sitting there :-(

JetBlue shows Qantas, Virgin how to do single-aisle business class
Feb 02, 2021, 02:26 PMUnfortunately, people are comparing this to the very old CX, VS and NZ J seats. Perhaps as a herringbone layout, but it stops there. Clearly this is a better designed seat, at a slightly different angle. Has much going for it.Let's not forget, that this is also on a narrow body ...

Covid-19 vaccination may be mandatory for all visitors to Australia
Nov 15, 2020, 08:52 AMIt takes 15 years to R&D plus test vaccines, period. So they have one for Covid19 all of a sudden, but no cure for HIV/AIDS and Cancer.Think on that.This is a set up for Australia. Good luck.

Sleeping on flights: pyjamas vs underwear or shorts only
Dec 11, 2018, 04:32 PMI 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 PMAs 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 PMIf 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 ...

May 18, 2018, 02:33 PMOriginally Posted by John Phelan Almost all airlines overbook, and they do it in all classes. Emirates is probably the most notorious here - when I was checking in at DXB, I was told they had overbooked the aircraft by more than 30 people!!It can be a hard spot to be in, but they really should a...

Delta Premium Economy
Apr 09, 2018, 07:26 AMDelta 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...
