Part of the reason is it's the lowest weight possible for a sturdy suitcase. Whether saving a kilo on suitcase weight is worth several…

Fat Horny Ghost on Hainan Airlines: Melbourne to Beijing from $407 Return, Sydney to Beijing from $441 Return (Feb-Jun) @ Beat That Flight

>Personally would avoid Hainan Airlines. No idea how they got their 5 star rating. Because they pay Skytrax to be 'rated'.

jv on Hainan Airlines: Melbourne to Beijing from $407 Return, Sydney to Beijing from $441 Return (Feb-Jun) @ Beat That Flight

That's because they are **paid** to do ratings by the **airlines**. I'm sure it's very **impartial**.

When they first switched to double deckers, some genius made a sign that said: "Double the size, and still only $19". The company is as…

meowmeowmeow on Accor ALL Gold Fast Track for A Stay @ Accor (NAB Rewards Signature Card & NAB Points Auto Redemption Required)

An alternative would be to sign up for Qantas Signature, then transfer when bonus points are received.

Still available for free at SBS on Demand. Watched last night. Absolutely worth the 3 hours viewing time.

Terrible value to Japan, given you'd need to pay a lot just to bring baggage home, let alone take it there.
