• Agreed so how does SIA keep ranking so high in the surveys?

  • I am staggered that the soft product (which doesn’t include pyjamas) gets SIA such high votes in best airline awards when the hard product is so poor. Added to that, its Star Alliance partner ANA has proper business class seats and beds and recently had a special Sydney to London return at ...

    Fully endorse the Venice/Santa Monica idea. Venice has by far the better breakfast/cafe/funky vibe. If you are comfortable on a cycle there are plenty of places to hire one after your coffee at the Aussie inspired Great White and you can swing up or down the coast - to Santa Monica you pass Muscl...
