From not being able to figure out the three-point seat belt to milling around like geese before the doors are opened for departure, there are a lot of mistakes rookie business class passengers make.

That's before we even get to overindulging on the champagne or thinking you can hide friends in your footwell.

There is one mistake which is entirely avoidable, however, and that is getting stuck in a poorly located seat.

Travel blogger Will Luxury Travel recently took to TikTok with some tips about flying at the pointy end you really need to listen to (watch them in the video below).

Biggest mistake you can make in business class, according to Will Luxury Travel

"This is the biggest mistake you can make in business class," Will says, taking viewers on a tour up and down a Qatar Airways business class cabin.

"Choosing the wrong seat."

"Like this one, with no windows and by the toilet."

"Instead come with me to row one, which has more leg room, more storage space and of course a bed."

When a commenter suggested the seats weren't so bad in a pinch (say if all the others were booked), Will responded: "Suit yourself. Also right next to economy bassinet so screaming babies and everyone stands next to your seat waiting for the toilet/bar."

When he has been questioned by followers in other videos about this theory, Will has said: "The price is exactly the same" and explained this is why it's so important to check the seat map.

His stance seems strong.

Will isn't alone in warning followers about the faux pas you are liable to make at the pointy end. Read the following articles to see the other terrifying obstacles that may await in premium cabins, such as the never-ending knocks on your door from overly efficient staff in first class.

People often imagine that sportspeople and celebrities have fantastically exciting personal lives, with wild experience after wild experience cropping up throughout their careers.Mostly this is an exaggeration fuelled by media gossip and fans projecting their fantasies. But sometimes it turns out the tales are true.Enter: Magic Johnson. An interview of former Los Angeles Lakers star Magic Johnson Jr. now doing the rounds on Instagram has reminded sports fans Magic was quite adventurous in his heyday. Being questioned about sexual experiences, Magic – real name Earvin – tells the interviewer he once slept with six people at once (not quite Dan Bilzerian levels, but still pretty frisky).

“Like I said, women have different fantasies, some wanna be with two, three at a time. You know one time I had six at one time.”

Asked if that was his fantasy or the women’s, Magic replies “that was both, probably mostly mine.”He also reveals how he once slept with a woman in an elevator, and even an office, while other office workers were in the boardroom next door.To this, Magic says, “Different women have different fantasies and you wanna make sure they reach their fantasies, that was my thing.”Regarding his fame, the interviewer says “But you were Magic Johnson.”His response? “That’s alright, you don’t mind being a daredevil every now and then.”To the time he had sex in an office, Magic says, “She gave me that look and I said ‘ah not here’, she said ‘here’. She didn’t have any panties on so let’s go.”He admits this was the “first time I was having sex and sweating. My eyes were over here and not looking on the woman,” indicating that even for him, some situations were a little too risqué.

Magic Johnson Jr’s sexual life had been much-publicised, as he revealed in 1991 that he was HIV positive, something which he was commended for, because at the time, there were a lot of myths and stigma and secrecy around the disease. He became a big promoter of safe sex, which the interviewer questions him on, in relation to his risky endeavours.“I gotta tell you, you’re sending me mixed messages, because on one the hand you’re saying to me safe sex, responsible sex, what I did was immoral, but even now when you tell the story you’re making it sound pretty good,” the interviewer says.Magic responds: “I’m not sending you mixed messages, that was my life. If you’re asking me if I had fun, yes I had fun. Did you enjoy your fantasies? Yes I did. But, you pay for it.”

We've waxed lyrical about what it's like flying into Sydney at various points during the last two years. From discussing the ins and outs of hotel quarantine (including the challenges of those two weeks themselves) to reporting on sense that some people have shared of being made to feel like a criminal on arrival, we have Sydney pretty well covered.

But what's it like to fly into Western Australia right now?

Question got your brain spinning? Flight hacker Immanuel Debeer recently shared with DMARGE what his experience was like, coming back to Perth from overseas.

Despite his tongue in check 'would easier to get into North Korea' Instagram stories posted upon re-entering the country, Immanuel later told DMARGE it was "actually a very smooth/easy process."

"I've read so many horror stories over the last year so I was expecting the worst but honestly, I thought it was straightforward," Immanel told DMARGE. "That said, I can understand that anyone who can't afford business or first-class flights back to Australia would have a completely different experience."

"It's a pay-to-play system. Of course, it doesn't compare to any other country I've been to in the last few months. In Europe, nobody cares anymore. You can tell when you're talking to Europeans (they generally don't discuss covid) whereas in Australia it seems to be an obsession to talk about covid."

"Coming back into Australia, although the people are friendly, you feel like a prisoner/criminal. There's a guard outside my hotel door and from the time we landed until we got checked in there was a police escort to make sure nobody had a chance to run off."

On his website Flight Hacks, Immanuel recently wrote: "Upon arrival (there were around 30 passengers on my flight), we all went through the standard immigration procedure and customs. In Perth, there’s a separate station where you need to show your G2G QR code (similar to the Australian travel declaration), and the staff informs you of which hotel you will be doing your 14-day quarantine at."

"Afterward, we were guided back into the baggage hall, where we were all seated and told to wait."

"Some 2 hours later (one passenger held us all up for this long – presumably because his paperwork wasn’t in order)."

"We were then led out of the back of the airport, back onto the tarmac where 3 busses were waiting for us, accompanied by a police escort. I wasn’t sure if I should feel like royalty or a criminal. From my understanding, both get a similar experience when arriving by air in Australia."

Speaking to DMARGE on day four of his quarantine, Immanuel said: "Honestly, it's not that hard apart from the fact you can't get fresh air."

He also shared that he'd taken delivery of a rental exercise bike and was getting sent healthy supplies. That's when he wasn't taking deliveries of "French contraband" or mining Bitcoin, naturally...

"I'm used to working from home, so this is not all too different," Immanuel explained. He also admitted he was using the hotel's electricity to mine Bitcoin.

Immanuel also said he imagines it would be more difficult for those not travelling solo: "I wouldn't want to do quarantine with partner/family or kids (not that i have kids!) etc. The hotel rooms are tiny so there really isn't much room for more than 1. Anyway, it's only day 4 and I've had people tell me the breaking point is usually day 10..."

Stay tuned for his next update.

The last eighteen months have been pretty tough for most Aussies... And we're not just talking about how we haven't been able to go to the pub.

Lots of us have lost our jobs or seen our hours cut thanks to COVID. Those lucky enough to work from home haven't been completely spared either, with household bills skyrocketing and productivity down. At the same time, wage growth is stagnant while interest rates remain historically low.

There haven't been too many options for those needing to make a bit of scratch during these tough times, either. The cost of entry to the property market prices most of us out. Bonds and term deposits are stable, but with record low interest rates, they’re not a good use of one’s money. The stock and cryptocurrency markets are absolutely insane right now, but they’re volatile…

No wonder, then, that Aussies have been exploring all sorts of side-hustles during this pandemic, from flipping cars to selling nudes and everything in between. Necessity is the mother of invention. But in what's sure to be rather unwelcome news for many of us, the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) has announced that they're in crackdown mode this tax time and that "it is paying close attention to undeclared income from secondary work".

“Generally, when you provide your labour, skills or goods for a fee, you need to report this income in your tax return... regardless of whether you’re using a digital platform or more traditional means, such as word of mouth,” ATO Assistant Commissioner Tim Loh cautions.

“We know lots of people have picked up a side hustle during the pandemic. This has included a wide range of activities such as freelancing, setting up a local market stall or receiving income from subscribers through platforms like Patreon, Twitch or OnlyFans.”

While it's somewhat hilarious for a stuffy taxman to be talking about OnlyFans – and what they're saying is completely reasonable (tax avoidance is a crime) – it does feel like a bit of a kick in the teeth for many Aussies who are struggling to make ends meet in 2021.

In any case, be warned, cash in hand bandits: the taxman is watching.
