• Yeah, you would think VA would let you choose some free things from the economy menu as an alternative, eg a main, a side, a dessert and a drink. Same make-up as the business class meal.

  • Out of interest, what sort of beef or lamb dishes would you like to see and on the inflight menu?

  • TK is already flying to Melbourne, they started in March this year, going via Singapore. But it's not a daily service so I reckon you must have been looking at the TK website at one of the days when there's no IST-SIN-MEL flight.

  • Absolutely I do! Amazing bacon from the local farmer's markets. Comes out from Trunkey Creek south of Bathurst, brilliant on its own or as a homemade bacon & egg roll. I reckon you'd find a lot of people have bacon at cafes either on a bacon & egg roll or in a 'big breakfast' or some othe...
