Flying on the first scheduled Qantas flight from Hobart to Adelaide After being forced to cancel yet another trip due to Covid, I took the opportunity to book my first trip to Adelaide, on the first Qantaslink flight, operated by Alliance Airlines on one of their brand new (second hand) Embraer E190s. Flight Details Airline […]
Heading north via the West Coast on Par Avion’s Titan Almost a year to the day since my last Par Avion flight, to truwana/Cape Barren Island, I had the opportunity to fly with them again, this time on an early morning service to Strahan and on to Launceston.

To the Harbour City and back on Jetstar’s A321 Late last month, I finally got to try out the Airbus A320’s biggest sibling, the Airbus A321-200, with Jetstar return to Sydney. Upon checking in at Hobart Airport, I was pleasantly surprised to discover that Jetstar still issue proper card boarding passes, unlike the flimsy paper […]
Flying on the last of the Maddogs back home After flying up the morning prior on a Rex Saab 340, and a day of sightseeing & planespotting it was time for me to fly back home, this time on board a QantasLink Boeing 717-200. My first time in many years on a 717, having previously […]
Flying via King Island on the Saab 340 With Covid completely under control in Australia, a week and a bit ago I decided to take the opportunity to travel interstate for the first time in two and a half years.

Upper deck on the Super Jumbo! My first post of 2021 was supposed to be a REX Saab 340 trip report, however the re-emergence of COVID community transmission in Melbourne forced a last minute cancellation of the trip, so hopefully yet another SIA trip report isn’t too boring! To better reflect my schedule, I have […]
Paris to Changi on, yet another SIA super jumbo Even though I have already published an economy class trip report aboard Singapore Airlines’ Airbus A380, I have decided against condensing the return legs of our 2018 trip to Europe into a single post, although I might not continue posting them in chronological order, so there […]
Flying on SIA’s Super Jumbo to the UK capital The final leg of the first half of our trip to the UK and Europe back in 2018 was Singapore Airlines flight SQ308, onboard Airbus A380-800 9V-SKL. I was pretty jetlagged by this point, so I don’t have too many pictures. During our two night layover, […]
