    ''I mean - Tabuk, c'mon!'' Really? It has a larger population than Canberra and is only a couple of hours from Doha. Sure they'll easily turn a profit on that route. Making money on the 14+ hour trek to Canberra seems less likely, although maybe the convenience and limited competition will help t...

    Sep 12, 2016, 09:33 AM

    Even worse than wrong aspect ratios is being unable to find the channels. Stayed in a hotel recently with well over 100 TV channels to choose from, but no TV guide or channel list. The channels weren't even in any sort of logical order, such as being organised by language or genre.  Other d...

  • Photos: Airbus A350 secret loft where pilots cabin crew rest sleep

    Mar 01, 2016, 08:36 PM

    Assume this feature is on all A350s? Means it will be best to avoid the last rows on Thai's A350s when they come to Melbourne this July / August

  • Air Canada Sydney-Vancouver Boeing 777-200LR business class

  • Dubai transfer from terminal 3 to 1 - doable in 3 hrs 40 mins between flights?

    Jan 03, 2016, 09:47 PM

    Emirates code-share on Oman Air's flights ex DXB, so you should be able to check your luggage all the way through, assuming your final destination is in Oman. Might not be possible if you are transitting through Muscat on to another Oman Air flight.If Emirates can manage that, your transit time i...
