British Airways trials new fast-track services for first class flyers
May 26, 2018, 09:40 AMHardly revolutionary. Few years ago I was whisked away on a business class bus from a B738 at CGK having arrived from PER. Hardly a flagship flight. And I think there were about a total of 6 pax in J and 30 in Y on that flight. Could easily have done one bus

Luggage-grabbing flyers ignoring airline safety pleas
Feb 03, 2018, 10:00 PMI get why people are worried about no passport or whatever. I usually fly in cargo pants (not for this reason - mainly because it's easier at airports etc). But I keep my passport, mobile and if travelling with any meds that matter those, in my pockets during take off and landing. Taking a bag or...

High-speed rail now rivals air travel on key Asian, European routes
Jan 11, 2018, 05:12 PMI took the Shanghai Maglev just for the fun of it 2 weeks ago. Paid for business class (knowing it was a waste) and got the cabin to ourselves.

Garuda Indonesia London Amsterdam flights

And I also don't care that they are government owned or that their government doesnt align with my politics. Same is true of Singapo...

Not so much a question, as an observation.
May 08, 2015, 10:14 PMWhat a simple and perfect solution. Yes I totally agree QF F seats MUST have 2 oxygen masks. They have 2 seatbelts. And if a visitor is in the booster seat when seatbelt sign goes off they are required to stay there. Same as J lounge. Wherever there is a seat belt I would bet $ there will be a ma...

Sydney QF First Lounge experience.
Apr 06, 2015, 04:31 PMAKL 1ST Lounge has good service but is otherwise a very meh offering. In this situation I would be pretty tempted to fly to Syd the night before and get a cheap overnight hotel nearby and get to 1st lounge at opening time. Yes it's worth it. On your proposed timetable I ser...
