Yep, the upgrade fairy is now endangered, and it's habitat is greatly reduced.

I don't believe in fairies, unless one happened to whack about the head with its wand.😨

I sometimes wonder how much CC server space is taken up by "gratuities" topics.🙄🥱

Canterbury?

Ireland? Mohr?

Southern hemisphere?

I'm just north of SYD and sun is just rising now 0610.

1. I made a similar flight from Vancouver to Sydney last year, departing YVR at 2130 and arriving SYD about 0630. It was and all night flight which is IMO the best way to fly that route. BTW jet lag has a lesser effect flying east to west IMO. Whether it is dark or not on arrival will depend on time of year but most likely it will be light except for mid winter - June.

2. It depends. I'm a 6'1"  74 y.o. and was hestitant about my comfort but I was unable to to secure an upgrade. It was a Qantas flight and my previous Qantas flight was SNG/SYD earlier that year - it was my worst ever international economy class flight. However, as it turned out, the YVR/SYD was my most comfortable international, economy class,  flight ever. I was able to stretch my legs out fully under the aisle seat in front where previously (SNG/SYD) my legs spent most of the time in the aisle.  I'm not sure what the aircraft was but I think it was a 787-9 Dreamliner.

If you have trouble sleeping on long haul flights and can afford premium or business, go for it.

I have flown SYD/DFW business class and very glad I did. IIRC it was about 15.5 hours. I was lucky with that one by scoring a AUD650 upgrade at SYD check in.

A local bank looking for a loan?😆

Abu Simbel? Souk

Luxor?

Karnak?

South Australia? Abalone/Pahwa?

Haha, back in the dark ages in the UK, the "kitchen sink" was a large plastic bowl!

A few years back I renovated a house with no kitchen plumbing or sink. It was built in 1914. The kitchen had a 1927 Early Kooka gas stove, (still working) as well as fuel stove . Washing up was done in a tub on the kitchen table with water brought in from the laundry.

PS little hack Kristelle uses - pick photos on your computer that you could use for this game, copy and paste into new folder - as you use one, put into sub folder of 'used already' photos

 

follow me for more handy tips 😄

Thanks Lyle. I know the feeling of recycling photos. When I go through my files I see a nice photo, then I have to think hard as to whether I have used it previously like this next one. I may have used it before but here goes.

It's a gun on a hill. Bonus point for the name of the hill.

 

Further information.

Not many people would know of this spot. I'd guess that 99.9% of travellers would pass this spot and not know it was there. Feel free to Google it to keep things moving.

Rainbow Park named after HMCS Rainbow. A popular walking track along the shore.

Something about a park relating to nautical or navy history IIRC?
