Melbourne Show

-


Friday 18 September - It's showtime in Melbourne! Went along to the show for an afternoon after not going for about 4 years or so. It was pretty good actually, and getting in before school holidays officially began turned out to be a good move, as the crowd was relatively light and it was a beautiful day!



Husky Judging

The carnival area features some pretty high tech rides these days! But at $15 a ride, I gave it a miss, especially since I had just been to Movieworld and Dreamworld last month. There is a 'ticket to ride' entry option for those into the rides, I think it was about $50 and gave you entry plus $50 worth of rides coupons, or something like that anyway!!



SCARY!


I avoided the showbags pavillion but played some 'skill games' and won myself a huge toy husky. Actually there is very little skill in the water shooting racing game, especially when you get a practice round, just remember to keep your aim when the first race is over, that way you will be already aimed at the target when the next race begins and I can almost guarantee you will win!!

I had heard good things about the airline so I decided to give them a go and visit Istanbul for the first time. The flight I am reviewing today is TK65, the daytime service from Bangkok to Istanbul. When I booked it was scheduled to be on an Airbus A330-300 with the latest business class product. Unfortunately when I went on Flightradar24 the night before the flight to see which aircraft had left Istanbul to operate the service I found out my flight had been swapped to the smaller A330-200.  I suppose the fact that there was a military coup with strict curfews in place in Bangkok at the time meant that the flight would be lightly loaded but unfortunately it meant I would be stuck in the older and much less exciting angled lie flats for the 10 hour journey. Disappointing but there was nothing I could do about it. Turk...

FLIGHT EY131 AIRLINE Etihad Airways ROUTE Abu Dhabi to Washington Dulles GATE DEPARTURE 10.55AM GATE ARRIVAL 5.25 PM FLIGHT TIME 14 hours 30 min AIRCRAFT Boeing 787-9 (A6-BLA) There has been a lot of hype from Etihad about their new Business Studio seat so earlier in the year I decided I had to try it! I was heading to New York but since the business studios only feature on the A380 and B787-9 Dreamliner, I decided to fly via Washington. Washington is the first long haul destination Etihad served with B787 equipment and is the only USA destination not served with Etihad B777's currently.
