If you do go for them, avoid seat 7A and B(no window) and the Window seats on row 6 on the other side (think its J and H) as they hardly recline. Quote
Drew Peacock Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 Venice in 3/4 weeks. Restaurant & bar recommendations welcome plus tips on getting to/from airport. And any worthwhile sightseeing. Cheers!! Get a water bus from the Airport into Venice - they run fairly frequently and are the cheapest option. Walking distance to terminus from Airport - I THINK you can buy your tickets in the airport. Take plenty of money - food and booze not cheap. If you are feeling romantic (and flush!!) this place is great. Last time we went, we sat outside a bar, just off St Marks square overlooking Grand Canal - €19 for 2 bottles of Peroni. Some hotels do a free water taxi to Murano, and take you to a glass factory - they hope you will buy, but just take it all in, then have a wander round Murano and get a water bus back. Wonderful place - but very expensive - enjoy it! Quote

Escobarp Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 Flying to Brisbane this year and just weighing up carriers. Anyone got good/bad experiences with Singapore/Cathay/Emirates? never flown to australia but flew to thailand with qatar airways and could not recommend them any more highly. unblieveable service from start to finish and more space on their economy than BA premium Quote
