Quite like a morning departure from Asia to Doha, with one or two naps over the course of the flight - think of it it as a cheeky afternoon nap rather than ‘a sleep because you are trying to sync your body clock’. Trick is not to think, at any point, what time is at your point of departure.

Going from Asia, I tend not to feel jet lagged or out of sync if taking the overnight flight (getting 7 or so hours of sleep) into Doha. Then a hot & refreshing shower in the lounge, an espresso or two, followed by a morning departure to Europe.

Turn your list into a fab bit of art…
I’ve capacity for two more commissions this year - all the books you/your partner has read this year, in miniature, in an antique upcycled book.
If this of interest, please do make contact!

‘Mostly business’ - the passenger & destination profile has changed a lot over the years, now a lot more leisure passengers. They can fly from an airport that’s closer to home and one that’s hassle-free.
KLM operates several flights a day to AMS flying people onwards around the globe.

Last time we used Heathrow Express we used a railcard & booked in advance… just £13.30 for two of us. Which means that’s considerably cheaper than just one of us going on the Elizabeth Line.

Really not a fan of those overnight flights between UK / Europe and Doha - try my best to avoid them. Did overnight Madrid to Doha earlier this year as it was the only option. Delayed departure and an early arrival meant I got even less time to sleep.

Privelege Club members get an hour of free WiFi on non-Starlink planes… except that option isn’t available on the leased Virgin Australia planes (don’t know about the leased Cathay planes). Another example of how the offering can vary from one plane to another.

Varies from airline to airline. American, for example, have fewer affected than first thought… because they’ve been slow to do a software update.

Remember Pret’s Avios trial? Wonder what they’ll trial next.

Common for Air Canada flights into Frankfurt to park at a remote stand - @yyzbound.bsky.social has parked his plane there on a few occasions. (Looks like he’s trimmed his posts so can’t link to his photos.)

Yes, you’ll get QR’s “award-winning service” but won’t get Starlink on that flight.
Whilst QR are loudly promoting the fact that it’s now installed on all of their B777 fleet… it’s missing one important detail - it’s not being installed on these leased planes.

The white livery in photo #1 is what they’ve applied to the Cathay Pacific & Virgin Australia leased planes.

Seems that’s maybe the case… and they’ll only operate to London if the follow-on order is placed.
However, 30 trains is enough only to replace the 26 TGV units used on Paris-Brussels-Amsterdam/Cologne non-London routes with a little capacity expansion. I suspect we'll only see them to/from London if they order the optional 20.

A better option would be for your bank to make the new card available to use now on Apple & Google Pay - means you can still go about your day as you normally would.

Could be pedantic and say it’s Post Office that Ian meant to type, not post office - two different things.

Wasn’t aware Starlink satellites are coming down. Are these at end-of-life or are there issues with them?
