Belga news agency has just confirmed that Sobelair has been declared bankrupt.

I've got a C seat unfortunately on the flight from FRA to SYD, but I'll go for a window seat when I'm flying back from Cairns. The view of Sydney Harbour is simply stunning. Whether you see Sydney Harbour & Circular Quay etc. during the day or night, from the air or Harbour Bridge... it is one o...

We should be landing in SYD at around 6.20 am, so hopefully we'll get a nice view. Now another question for you, an obvious beer lover: what do you make of Australian beer? In the past I've enjoyed Tooheys New on warm days, and on one hot humid day in Queensland we've been known to work our way thro...

What a great overview Louise. Lonely Planet should hire you to write for them!

I'll have to remember to book an appointment with my chiropractor for when I get back!

Hi everyone,

In February I'll be flying to Sydney on Qantas (via FRA, return via LHR). Can anyone tell me what Qantas' international economy is like? I've flown with Qantas domestic Sydney-Cairns-Sydney a few years ago, and I remember those flights were fine.

Thanks,

Dave
