Photos from the British Airways lounge in Manchester. It sits nicely above the public terminal space and offers some basic refreshments and of course internet access. Access with oneworld status or fly in business or first class. This lounge is in terminal 3. Other oneworld members, Qatar and Finnair operate...
So a day or two ago I came to the realisation my summer month of travelling around Europe was not about to end. I had planned most things approximately besides the last flight. I figured it wouldn’t be that hard to find something for Munich to Arlanda in the week...
Asked about paid upgrade for Qantas SIN-BNE from economy SG$420 to premium economy or $1000 for business Apparently available until 90-120 minutes prior to departure
2012Â isn’t over just yet but here is flight map so far of the year particularly after the large trip in July and August.
Time to leave Moscow and head to Europe again. I suppose the natural bridge between the two is Finland so it was only natural to fly them. We flew on AY154 SVO-HEL on an Embraer E190LR, OH-LKM in all economy, I had seat 3A. Flight length: 1:40 hr, 543 miles. Played around with booking this a bit,...
After checking in and spending time in the lounge we moved to the gate, although somewhat earlier than necessary. We ended up waiting quite some time before boarding was called to board buses to the remote stand. This ended up taking even longer after we discovered their priority boarding for...
Today we flew from Vienna to Amman by Royal Jordanian (RJ). We originally picked a Vienna departure as it has the lowest departure taxes of all European ports RJ operated from. We had a cheap business class fare back to Asia and this would be Jacqui’s first major trip in business...
Today I had my first Finnair flight albeit only a two hour flight from Prague. There service was different to previous flights, rather hands off from the staff. I was sat next to two Australians heading home which made the journey quick as we enjoyed a good conversation. The flight was comfortable...
After a day in Singapore I now had the original flight booking that drew me here. This would be my first proper long haul first class experience, no less on the A380, on a thirteen hour overnight flight from Singapore to London. The flight experience was no less than excellent, providing...
Flying for nearly 11 hours on a low cost carrier? Not to worry, Jetstar Starclass (now business class) is basic but provides ample amenities with domestic business/first style seating that is more than comfortable particularly as this was an all day flight. Two full meals, plenty of snacks provide plenty of options....
I had spent the past week away in the desert only to get home with under twelve hours to clean, pack and sleep. It was an early wakeup for the 6 AM flight out of Adelaide to Brisbane. Although I used to fly Qantas between these two cities frequently, it was seldom direct and only once in...
Somehow I have ended up booking nine flights on eight tickets for very little cash. By carefully ticketing through fares on deep discount I was able to book an entire ‘milk run’ i.e. flights that fly via several stops with passengers and freight getting off/on at each stop. Somehow I saved a...
Overnighting in Auckland Airport, flying back out on LAN Chile to connect back to Adelaide on Qantas. How plans fall apart so easily. LAN is known for being heavily delayed coming from Santiago. My flight on LAN was cancelled so I was rebooked onto Air New Zealand. A chance to...
I originally intended on staying in Wellington but I booked the flight in the wrong direction! No problem, with flights overall so cheap I decided to be based in Christchurch and make a day trip to the New Zealand capital. Ended up a bit of fun, with a great sunny day in...
This would be the start of an eight flight, week long New Zealand trip where I planned to visit the big three cities, Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch. Although the best bits of NZ are arguably outside the cities, this would be a start for me. My flight there was first a domestic flight...
