Hello Max,
Thank you for sharing interesting topics.
I know Qantas, of course, and it is one of my favorite airlines. When I went to Cairns and Sydney, I got on a Qantas flight. However, Jetstar took over Qantas flights from Narita to Cairns and we have to use this less expensive airline company.
I want to go to Melbourne and I check a non-stop flight from Narita to Melbourne. I found that a Jetstar flight leaves from Narita at 12:45 and arrives at Melbourne at 0:15. I guess we can’t use public transportation from the airport to the center of the city.
Maybe, I’ll get on Qantas flight to Sydney when I have a chance to visit the city. I love Sydney very much.
I don’t know Telstra, but I have a bone to pick with the shape of the outlet (or socket) in Australia. The shape is somewhat strange (a triangle shape) and we need an adaptor when we use electric appliances in Australia. Telstra is one of the biggest electric companies, so I hope this company could change the shape of the outlet in Australia. I imagine that travelers from overseas may feel a bit confused.
I thing Australia is a lovely country that we should visit several times.
It’s great that you like Qantas, but they have had lots of financial issues lately. I think that Jetstar is a good option to have, as it is cheaper, but the lack of free food and entertainment is inconvenient.
I thought it was interesting that you found the Australian power outlets to be inconvenient. I think you will find that most countries have different outlets and voltages, but you can use an adapter to fix the problem. The Australian outlet is used in Australia, New Zealand, Fiji and Papua New Guinea. The Australian power outlet is also unique in that it is always as a switch to turn the power on or off.
When I first came to Japan, I was disappointed to find that you cannot use American power plugs in Japanese outlets, even though they are quite similar. This is because in America, there is often a third hole for larger appliances.
Thank you for your comments and have a great day!
Hello Max,
Thank you very much for your reply. I guess, in the future, less expensive Jetstar flights will cover the majority of areas in Australia. Therefore, I may have to endure the inconvenience of the lack of free food.
Sorry that I didn’t know that the Australian outlet is used in New Zealand. You are right that Japanese power plugs can be used in America, but the American power plugs cannot be used in Japan because of the reason you mentioned here. I appreciate your comments.
