Can't wait to try one of these tag flights from SYD-CBR on the A380, and the F-lounge. What a score!!! Qantas to launch Canberra A380 tag flights this month | Plane Talking

Sure Ben :!:

Seems Sandilands is actually skilled at something for a change. A sense of humour.

They have these books now full of words and stuff that you can like look stuff up in. Dictionaries I think they're called.

(completely OT and mods feel free to delete)

When I actively reconsider using a word because I think a portion of the audience will not understand, then I repudiate the richness of my language. Sometimes the lowest common denominator is useful. As some proudly judge others by their dress, then surely celebrating and embracing the breadth of our language is something to be maintained and linguistic dumbing down to be avoided? Actually we all use our vocabulary, and usually don't even stop to think whether the words we use will be understood by the audience (unless we face people who we know have a much poorer vocabulary than ourselves, in which case just shout louder).

Indeed it surprises me when a word I use is not understood.

After all, is my vocabulary so erudite, esoteric, arcane, and obfuscatory that it must be modified "for all the dummies"?

So do I request an eStandby upgrade at the SIN Hilton to a King Exec suite?? 200SGD/night (down from 300), the three of us will be there for 8 nights. In a standard King zdelixe room currently.

What wiuld you do??

Imagine on an A380 they would not even get the wheels up between SYD and CBR but another possible route could also be BNE-OOL then do an international from there.

Judging by your posting, I'd first pull back on the Exec Lounge grog

Ahhh, anat0l.

Ruddy passion finger typing and iPad keyboard - it's a messy combination ..

Someone save me, my daily commute, the driver has Alan Jones blabbering over the bus stereo system..and my headphones are nowhere to be seen..

QF Dom J lounge in SYD this morning had some Neil Perry hot cross buns for brekkie. If anyone needs a retaining wall built or you plan on damming up a river, these are your best options.

Hot X Buns? They were quite nice in the SYD T3 J lounge yesterday. Must be leftovers...

Are they marketed as signature buns in Queensland?

I didnt think OOL was A380-capable.

BNE/SYD/MEL/ADL/PER are the A380 capable airports arent they? Any other Aus airports? DRW?

If DRW can take B52's then A380's are no problem

No, but if you have four of them you need to wait before driving.

DRW has taken an A388 but is not technically capable due RFF capabilities.
