Major security changes coming to Melbourne, Brisbane Airports
Apr 19, 2024, 06:44 PMThis new system was introduced in Perth and it made security less efficient. Not only do I now need to remove my belt but every tim my bag now has to go through a secondary check - the old system was much faster.

Dec 14, 2023, 06:47 PMIt's disappointing that Finnair chose not to provide the more generous baggage allowance for bookings already made as it would have bought them plenty of good will.

Review: Qantas Project Sunrise New York to Sydney Boeing 787 flight
Oct 20, 2019, 06:16 PMIt would be good if Qantas applied the principles of their research flights into their current operations. If keeping to destination time is so important then why would they want to keep the cabin dark on the LAX-JFK sector? Surely having the cabin light would encourage passengers to stay awake d...

Best Lie Flat Business Class seat
Nov 07, 2018, 10:56 AMDespite the criticisms of the QF Skybed 2, I actually prefer them to their newer Business Suites if flying a window seat on the A380 which has the side storage areas. The older Skybeds provide more vertical area for moving my legs. After having done a 15 hour flight with the A380 Skybed and a 4 h...

Finnair RTW
Jun 13, 2018, 09:32 PMPersonally I find the Finnair RTW tickets unbeatable value, with tickets under $6000 as part of a recent sale. Sure, it's not the best but for the price they have lie flat seats, even in the A330; and it's possible to use Cathay Pacific and Qantas as part of the itinerary.Even without oneWorld st...
