We recently spent a week long holiday in Gold Coast, Australia. It was a planned getaway, which we've been thinking about since our girl was 4. Now that she's 6, we feel she's ready for long distance flight and would definitely be easier for us to take care of her too.
Having a kid to tag along, I needed to take whatever precaution there was to make our trip more enjoyable and comfortable. I had children's medication standby and most importantly, anti-vomiting syrup for the 8 hours' flight. We flew by AirAsia and surprising, it met all my expectations. It wasn't as bad as what many people cautioned me so. The meal on board was tasty to my standard and the kids' meal even came with some snacks and toys! The plane take-off, landing and the to & fro flight were generally smooth. AirAsia however, should mandate their air-hostesses to bun up their hair. This would definitey give these ladies a more professional image.
Upon arriving at the Coolangatta airport, we were welcomed by friendly immigration officers. They moved so swiftly and professionally. I was personally impressed with the Aussies on how friendly they were. I also liked the way they managed their daily operations - so systematically and so orderly. Gold Coast was impeccably clean too. Every where we went, the public toilets were in spic and span condition and without a tinge of unpleasant odour unlike the public loos here. We clearly had some good fun in Gold Coast and needless to say, our little one enjoyed herself most. Gold Coast is definitely a nice place to visit.

Well, our previous China trip before this holiday was 7 years ago and very likely we wouldn't be flying again for at least, the next 5 years ;-)
