replying to @Australia @Australia A4 I’m fortunate to have been many times (at least seven). I love it because you can really get alone time to catch up on work, movies or sleep! #TravelSkills FYI This pic is of the FA making the bed on @VirginAustralia

A4: A few times and the journey is always worth the destination. Since it isn’t terribly close, I prefer to spend some time in Oz once I get there #travelskills

A4. Flown to Australia? Took @VirginAustralia biz class to #Melbourne. I don’t sleep on planes, so I spent quality time helping myself at the biz bar. Fun fact: there are oxygen masks above the stools. #travelskills

A4: shorter with 2-3 days at each stop over. Helps with the #jetlag and keeps you more engaged with the entire trip. #TravelSkills
