Grab your passport: Japan is once again open to the world
Feb 18, 2022, 11:42 AMJAL has continued to serve NRT-MEL throughout COVID with a reduced schedule. So too, ANA with HND-SYD. ANA has made some cuts to its HND-SYD schedule and to some of its still-up-and-running European routes for the second quarter of 22. Even with Japan easing its entry requirements, I wouldn&rsquo...

GoRobin, I believe the July increase in Singapore was all Delta variant, as it has been here, in NZ, and everywhere else, pretty much. Indirectly, it is also Delta that has forced governments and public health people to abandon elimination strategies and to rush to vaccinate and then to start ope...

Aug 25, 2021, 03:01 PMGood riddance. Terrible airline in every way except for that B777 captain I picked up in the Piazza del Popolo in 2002.

Business class: Qantas Airbus A80 vs United Boeing 787-9
Jun 21, 2019, 04:19 PMSkybed II on A380 is rubbish. I haven’t had one that doesn’t need Viagra to prevent sagging and/or doesn’t malfunction. So uncomfortable. Lousy IFE technology.
