Is it best to just go with the cheapest intro/trial flight I find (from a reputable flight school) even if the aircraft will be somewhat different than what I might one day end up doing my flight training in? Or should I pay a bit more and start out in something similar from minute one?

Also, any specific recommendations for good flight schools or good intro flight deals in Melbourne, Australia?

There’s a promo on Groupon right now for $134/30 mins or $269/60 mins introductory flight with Falcon International Aviation Academy. Has 6x 5-star reviews on Google and they do their intro flights in a Piper Archer PA28-180, Piper Warrior II PA28-161, or Cessna 150. Seems like a good deal… Can anyone else vouch for them?

Thanks fam 🙏🏼

*Edited to update with accurate prices. I left part of the deal off in my original post.

*Edited again to add: I live inner north and don’t have a car so ideally I’m looking for something based out of Essendon! If elsewhere, has to be reasonable (~1-1.5 hours) travel time on public transit.

I think the spray bottle is like $25. So it’s basically $100 per piercing—$50 for labor and $50 for the titanium. No deal for the combo.

This price was quoted to me by Body Vision Piercing on Chapel Street. They seem like a good and professional place with good reviews. They told me they are more expensive than others because of the quality of titanium piercings they use, but it still seems a bit dear… No?

I want somewhere that’s legit and I do think titanium (or at least surgical steel) would be good as I’m allergic to a lot of metals. Surgical steel seems to be ok in my ears though—is titanium really necessary?

Just don’t want to get ripped off. Feel free to recommend other highly professional places or give me a reality check. It’s been ages since I’ve paid attention to the going rate for anything body-mod related so maybe I’m just OOTL.

Thanks! 🙏🏼

Title, basically. Flying domestic. Out of a very small, almost regional airport. (No international flights.) I don't know if that makes it more likely or less likely that they check my luggage weight. Need some guidance, thanks.

Title says it all. 😏

I understand getting someone faster than Manzo on the bases. (Surprised that Vogt sent Manzo out there instead of Schnee in the fist place, but I guess he did get the job done.) Then I racked my brain and thought that Schnee was the only fast one left on the bench... Until I remembered Kwan!

How come Kwan didn't pinch run and Schneeman in as a PH for Brito or Naylor??

We had second and third, then bases loaded, with one out. I'm sure Schnee could've at least tied it up.
