Here is Qantas’ all-new premium economy seat
Jun 16, 2023, 12:46 PMThe article said the headrests are height adjustable. I would have thought the wings would swing in and out (left and right) as well.

Virgin Australia reopens Sydney, Brisbane premium entry
Oct 28, 2022, 03:04 PMI'm thinking this 'premium security lane' at SYD is simply the old group's security lane at the northernmost end of Arrivals at T2. This has been open for a month or more between 5am-7am. Note...I wrote Arrivals NOT Departures. Departures is where the pre-pandemic Premium Security Entry was...

Govt to subsidise half-price Qantas, Virgin holiday flights
Mar 11, 2021, 03:27 PMThis is all terrific news BUT which fare class is the discount based on. I’m a little skeptical that the % might be taken from a published fare (or a flexible, high priced fare) and there will be no difference between this initiative and the prevailing best fares in the market.

Sydney Airport P7 Parking
Dec 25, 2019, 08:13 AMYep. I use P7 a lot. Big caveat though is the access roads into T1. They are often what cause people to miss their flights especially at peak times (mornings on weekends). Warning: Do not use the Marsh Street exit from the M5 or via the tunnel under the runway (General Holmes Drive). Rather, take...

Apr 24, 2018, 03:50 PMAs I was getting into my seat on an Air Canada flight SYD -YVR, my phone slipped out of my pocket and disappeared into a crevice between the seat cushion and the wall of the cabin. I hadn't had a chance to switch it to airplane mode and the flight was 14 hours long. Can you imagine my embarrassme...

International from Hobart?
Mar 01, 2018, 08:49 AMI don't know if anyone here is too young to remember....TAA and Ansett's very first international flights in the 70s (I think) were operated from HBA to NZ (AKL?)...If they were sustainable then, why not now? Yep to the Chinese tourists, but what about the other most common visitor groups to Aust...

Taking advantage of very good USD/AUD rate
Jan 31, 2018, 03:24 PMCitibank hey? I have a debit card on a transaction account. Same one you've all suggested. I agree that it is the best option. However, their security is way too OCD. On a trip to US and Canada (Citibank's bread and butter market) they suspended the card three times when they suspected that it wa...
