This morning Perth back to Melbourne. Sometimes I hate being several thousand feet above places where I'd much rather be cruising through with the CT.  One day SW WA I'll be on the ground looking up at the planes flying overhead.

Ha bet your missing the Qantas B club though mate?  Those Virgin lounges are okay but not a patch on the Qantas Bus Pub.

i'm hearing you, just, above the coughing.

Oh, and the legroom on the Canberra flights has to be the least I've ever had!

I travel all around Australia twice monthly and the company can book us on any flight company.

I don't care what the seats are like as long as i'm on my way home,

noise cancelling earphones and an ipod and the kids can scream as much as they like  :D

I've just seen a product called "Knee defender " . They lock onto the tray supports and stop the seat in front from reclining .

On the news today a plane was diverted because of a fight caused by someone using them. Airlines have not banned them but two have fixed the seats so they won't recline. I don't need them to stop people reclining back to far.  :angel:
