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…

HARS (Historical Aircraft Restoration Society) and the Famous QANTAS 747-438, VH-OJA – Oh and Connie, VH-EAG
HARS – Historical Aircraft Restoration Society – is located at The Illawarra Regional Airport in Wollongong and just over a year ago it gained another major attraction with a retired Qantas Boeing 747-400 arriving at the museum. Back in March of 2015, I was invited with several media and bloggers to visit Qantas Headquarters in…
Melbourne to Sydney, Qantas Airways Business Class
Have you been watching that new show ‘Ready for Takeoff’? It’s a fly on the wall documentary about Qantas and the inner workings of the airline. I loved the second episode with Qantas mega Frequent Flyer John Martin, who hails from my hometown the City of Wollongong who during the episode took his 1000th Qantas flight….
QANTAS Airways, Sydney to Brisbane Business Class
“Tonight we have the traditional lasagne with steamed greens or the seared beef on glass noodles.” the cabin crew member discretely repeated to each passenger as he made his way down the centre aisle of the secluded Business Class cabin. The food, it is the thing I get most excited about when taking a short flight in Business…
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…
Melbourne to Perth – QANTAS Airways Business Suite.
Mints and mince, although sound similar are two very different things – especially to a vegetarian! I was at a party once, enjoying a delightful array of finger foods while chatting to a vegetarian over the loud pumping music. The lights were low and she was relying on me to let her know what each of the…

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…
