Flying can be pretty awesome, can’t it? I never cease to be amazed by the fact that such a ridiculously heavy thing such as an aeroplane can get off the ground. My most recent little getaway, last month to the Gold Coast, saw me take budget airline Tiger Airways. From Singapore they are basically known …
Howdy all. I guess now that I’m home it’s ‘review season’, and I like to start with the airlines. Followers of the blog may know that when it comes to SCOOT I boarded the plane already having a big issue with them with you can read about HERE. Short summary – was due to fly …
The following post was written at various points of the day on the 11th of March, 2018 as I begin my latest trip. I’ll complete the blog later but right now I’m writing from my first flight of the journey, on Scoot Flight 109 Melbourne to Singapore. I am in Business Class – Scoot Biz, …

Howdy all hope you’re well wherever you are in the world. Today’s airline review is based on my experiences flying Avianca, a Colombian based airline from Quito to Galapagos back in early October 2016. This flight was pretty exciting all told, because I was finally heading to Galapagos, one of the places I most dearly …
The biggest South American airline, I think I am right in saying, is LAN/LATAM, and I took numerous flights with them on my South American adventure. They were overwhelming my most used airlines so I think it’s only fair that my reviews start with them. My flights with LATAM – Sydney to Santiago with a …

To fly back to Melbourne I took Emirates. It’s been ages since I’ve flown Emirates, but they still run a pretty good airline. I only realised as I booked in that I would be on an A380, my first experience of this behemoth of an aeroplane, so that alone made it all worthwhile. I think …
Air New Zealand have a pretty good reputation as an airline, and it’s not hard to see why. I recently took Air New Zealand from Sydney, via Auckland, to Rotorua. I took a Boeing from Sydney and a Beech 1900 on the second leg. What can I tell you about the experience? Well, last week …
You know that earlier in the year I bemoaned Jetstar and having to travel on budget airlines. This trip I made a firm decision that I wasn’t going to fall into that trap again. To be honest, the price difference wasn’t that much, and especially for the first flight, from Melbourne to Sydney, there was …
My final airline review for my recent trip to Thailand and Myanmar is here, featuring the only non-budget airline I took, and that is Thai Airways, from Bangkok to Chiang Mai return. I should start by saying how relieved I was to not be on a budget airline this time. Thai Airways surprised me when …
