My relationship will be as valid as yours
Welcome to new subscribers to the newsletter. Each week - early Monday morning (Australian Eastern Standard Summer Time) we send you this newsletter of recent articles on 2PAXfly.
What a HUGE week in Australian history. It's the week when Australians said fairly loudly, that they respect relationships equally whether they are gay or not gay. Mind you we knew that, it's just that our politicians needed to spend AU$122 million on a postal survey to get off their butts and legislate for equal marriage. I could go on, but life is too short.
This week, I pulled together my thoughts on the new cabins for Emirates 777s, finished my thoughts on Singapore Airlines A380 premium economy cabins and shared a review on the Canberra Park Hyatt, and how frank you should be about feedback to hotels. I've forwarded that to Hyatt as feedback, so I will report any response I get.
This coming week, I'm hoping to catch up on some trip reports, give you my views on some hotel and airline products, and keep you up to date on any emerging travel news.
We always enjoy your comments, so give dive in and give us your thoughts on the website, or on Facebook.
Happy Travels,

What do you say in answer to the question from hotel staff 'How was your stay?'
OMG – well, I foresee weddings on Qantas planes. For non-Australians who haven’t caught up: The Australian Parliament – instead of making an actual decision decided to hold a voluntary, non-binding, postal plebiscite (we have compulsory voting here, so being voluntary is a ‘thing’) on marriage equality. The question was: ‘Should the law be changed to allow […]
It’s been a fortnight of cabin refurbishments. First, we had Singapore Airlines A380s, who did something radical – although I’m not sure it fully works (until I test it) – and now its the turn of Emirates and their new 777s. Now in the interests of full disclosure, I have never flown on an Emirates […]
It’s Business Lite, right? I always want to believe that Premium Economy is a kind of Business lite – sort of half the service, and a seat like the old-fashioned business before flatbeds. Of course, this is just a fantasy. Premium Economy is almost like what Economy used to be before deregulation and the advent […]
