You need to upload the photos to an image hosting website, such as Flickr, first. Then on Flickr (or whichever service you are using), copy the [IMG] link for the photo into your post on FT. Select the largest 'Medium' size before generating the link on Flickr.

You ask is there any reason I avoid Qantas? For me I think that other airlines that offer a better hard product, particularly First Class when compared to Singapore or Emirates. Staff interaction and attitude are so different from other carriers, particularly the Asian carriers.
The last time I flew with Qantas, albeit a while ago, I sat next to a female flight attendant on the way home. She made such disparaging remarks about the passengers back in economy. I couldn't believe she did this as she had no idea who I was. I might of been the wife of someone important at Qantas.

I have had the occasional issue with sloppy service or an unfriendly flight attendant, but in general when taken as a whole over that period I couldn't complain- guess I have been quite lucky.

Thanks for emailing the Menus. I am posting them here for others information also.
Questions: Would you recommend skipping the breakfast and eating in the lounge in DXB? What about eating in Lounge in Melbourne and skipping dinner (especially since the flight leaves so late)?

Previously when travelling from LHR to SYD, the flight lands in DXB early and I have tended to skip the breakfast in the lounge in favour of the on-board catering too.

Which image hosting website are you using? There should be an option to reduce the size before you copy and paste the [IMG] link to the picture in your post.
Any particular reason?
Qantas (no 'u') International First on the A380 features seats which are semi-enclosed. Not a suite in the SQ/EK sense of the word, but also not a traditional seat. http://www.qantas.com.au/travel/airl...lass/global/en

Hi, -- I just spent some time on your website. I must say, it's been quite some time since I've read such pretentious writing. Every travel experience you have seems to be spectacularly perfect. People who travel a lot (and I presume that you're one of them) know that mishaps occur. They are rarely disasters; but they do occur. From time to time, even in F, the food is mediocre or worse. Yet none of this seems ever to happen to you. This is more than just having a positive outlook.
Your photos are great; but I can't help escaping the feeling that either you're pandering to the vendors or you're simply trying to make people who don't travel in the front of the plane jealous.

I guess I have been blessed, In all the years I have been flying I haven't had too many mishaps I can recall. While luck has a lot to do with it, I think you touch on a very relevant point re: positive outlook. I think good things tend to happen to you when you are positive and friendly towards people rather than being miserable about every experience. People (be it waiters or flight attendants) tend to better assist / serve those who they enjoy being around with.
