Here in Oz one has no choice but to fly. Flying is certainly an uncivilised way to travel no matter what. Flying QANTAS is usually out of the question as it is normally much more expensive than the other mid-range carriers. Nor does QANTAS go where we want to go in Europe except via the dreaded Heathrow and British Airways both of which are on OUR NO FLY list.
Next year QANTAS is opening a new Perth - Heathrow non stop (18 hours or so ??) upon which we WILL NOT be travelling.
