I have flown with a significant number of airlines, and they all have their pluses and minuses.

Personally, I like Virgin, but they don't always have the route I want.

What's yours for being Mr know-it-all?

I wasn't aware that the expression Mr know-it-all has been expanded to include Mrs too...

Well, at least you're counting Penny40!

I would think the little pink female symbol beside her username would have been a bit of a hint as to her sex. Then again maybe not?

Firstly, please see post 14.

Secondly, BE really can be a very educational place.

I have learned so much on here. That's why I attempt to share little tit-bits of trivia etc when I can.

Thirdly, I wrote the offensive post two hours before my 4th night shift started, after yet another day of two hours sleep. That's my excuse for not including a smiley in my original post in this thread.

I'll ignore the gender comment.

Re: flights Qantas

Just to add haven't flown with Qantas myself so can't comment, but they have a great seat sale ex Ireland on at the moment- I got return flights a few days ago from Dublin to Perth via Frankfurt and Singapore for €732 return all in. Leaving in early November back early December.

Would have preferred to go via London and experience the A380 which runs on Heathrow to Singapore but it was an extra €40 e/w and there's four of us flying.

Anyone know what the Boeing 747-400 (I think it's also known as a 744) that runs between Frankfurt and Singapore and also the A330 on the Singapore to Perth legs are like?

Re: flights Qantas

Makes me laugh how a simple thread can turn out upsetting some over a simple letter U. All you people reading this thread thinking of having children this is a good example of what it is like to have them.
