Re: Jewels and Durians: With Qantas to Singapore and Malaysia
A warning: This report is long, almost 14,000 words with lots of photos. It is not about the minutiae of luxury aircraft travel. It's a meditation on travel, exhaustion, fear and the joy of looking out the window of an aircraft at the world beyond.This journey began with a durian. That giant spiky ...

Re: Not even skipping the state - ADL-PLO on a QantasLink Q300
It was a lovely few days in Port Lincoln. Must admit I didn't really do a great deal while I was there. We spent a few hours in Tumby Bay (about 50 kilometres north of Port Lincoln), which is a beautiful part of the state. Travels to the Eyre Peninsula are beautiful just to sit back and relax - qui...

Re: Not even skipping the state - ADL-PLO on a QantasLink Q300
Port Lincoln is one of a handful of South Australian regional locations that has flights from both QantasLink with their Q300 and Rex with their decrepit Saab 340's. Of course, no one in their right mind would opt to fly Rex if they had the choice, so we made the easy decision to fly with Qantas. H...

Great trip report. Pictures are great. I would like to do the Antarctic trip at some point, i wonder if they will continue post 747. Hi - thank you. :smile: ~ I am assuming they will, with the A380, but I haven't heard anything (official). The flights are popular and do fill up. There is definitely...

Yes, that's definitely my experience with the A380! Not my favourite aircraft for exterior views. Would you do the flight, and if so, would the A380 influence your decision post-2020? :eyebrow: ~ Assuming it will be the A380, can't see the authorities allowing a Dreamliner (twin) flying around in t...

Hi VapourTrails, Simply awesome report and what a way to celebrate the 747 with an experience over the Antarctic. Was this your first flight in the Queen of the Skies? Did you get a sense of skimming over the mountain ranges as if they were just below you? It's an amazing experience to see a place ...

Re: Baltimore Bound: SEA-SLC-BWI on Delta
Given the 6:00 departure time, an early rise was necessary. I woke up at 2:15, left the house at 2:40, and arrived at the airport at 3:50 am, walking into the terminal shortly before 4 am. Hi - an early start for sure. Makes waiting in line a lot easier though for the time of day. :thumbsup: My pla...

Bravo to everyone involved. Like others have stated, we know this would've been a mass casualty disaster in many if not most airports, surrounded by population and not this amazing corn. Watching the videos is surreal, it was a crash clearly, but the calmest crash I've seen. I am sure this not cove...

Circling around the airport - a little game: Can you spot the AC flight behind us having lifted off in the second picture? Yes, it is off the wingtip. Those wings without winglets e.g. - almost look retro! The Air France 777 below shot, great capture there. The open air terrace at ZRH, they are rea...
