I’m seated in 11A when a man walks up to me and says “I think you’re in my seat”. He shows me his boarding pass, it is emblazoned FIRST CLASS and he is seated in 1A. I’m surprised he thinks this is first class and I wonder how he found his way to the upper…

Qantas Airways – Perth to Sydney Business Class
‘Well at least there’ll be no delays with the way they serve the nuts’ I thought to myself referring to nutgate. I was travelling back from Perth after experiencing the new Qantas Business Suite and was a little disappointed that my return flight had the older recliner style seat in Business Class. Thats ok, the flight…
China Airlines Sydney to Auckland Business Class – Airbus A330-300
Question: China Airlines comes from what country? Answer: Taiwan (Republic of China) Bloody Mary. People often think China Airlines is from mainland China (The Peoples Republic of China) but its not, it’s Taiwan’s (Republic of China) national carrier and largest airline based the country’s capital Taipei. Now I’m not going to go into the how, why and…
One Day In November – A FreakyFlier Day Trip
Let me take you on a day trip, its not your regular outing but for an aviation enthusiast its going to be a freaky good day! Late last year, when Jetstar received its first Boeing 787 Deamliner, they offered a few sectors domestically to ‘break-in’ the new aircraft and give the Australian travelling public a…
Review: QANTAS AIRWAYS – Gold Coast to Sydney, Business Class
“Why do you want to fly Business Class?” my friend Liz asked me the other day. “Huh? Did you seriously just ask me that?” I replied, stunned. Obviously Liz hasn’t flown Business Class very often. Even though this was a short 1 hour 25 minutes sector, one of the many benefits of flying Business Class is lounge access and with…
Review: Qantas Airways – Sydney to Canberra Business Class – 737-400
A few weeks ago my lovely friend Lorraine from Not Quite Nigella wrote about an express lunch she had in half an hour and it reminded me of a Qantas Business Class flight to Canberra a few Saturdays ago that was kind of similar. The actual flying time this day was also 30 minutes and…
Review: Air Asia X – Kuala Lumpur to Seoul (Incheon) – Premium Class
Already featuring a few times here, Air Asia has fast become my favourite Low Cost Carrier. I’ve shown you a short flight for less than $42 when I flew from Kuala Lumpur to Singapore, a long haul flight with Air Asia X for less than $160 when I flew from Adelaide to Kuala Lumpur, now let me show you…
Introducing Australia’s First Dreamliner – Jetstar’s Boeing 787-8
I was excited when I saw the first 787 Dreamliner on the ground at the Boeing factory in 2009 and equally delighted when I saw an Air India Dreamliner take off as the first commercial 787 in Australia, so you can imagine how thrilled I was to get up close, really close, and tour Australia’s newest aircraft before it…
Review: Lufthansa German Airlines – Bangkok to Kuala Lumpur Business Class
Fifth Freedom rights – where an airline travels from its own country to another and onto a third having the right to sell tickets and transport passengers between the latter two ports. In this case Lufthansa flew from Frankfurt, Germany to Bangkok, Thailand, where I boarded, and onto Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia – two countries completely…
Review: Scoot Airlines Sydney to Singapore, ScootBiz
Fees. It can sometimes be all about fees and ancillary charges with low cost carriers, but only if you decide to pay them or if you’ve done something wrong, wrong as in not followed the conditions of the ticket you have purchased. I’ve flown low cost carriers and budget airlines, with their ‘user pays’ systems…
