I am trying to status match out of Bonvoy but have hit a hurdle. I am required to provide a screenshot of my membership profile or digital card with my full name but both are only displaying my first name. I've never noticed this before but never taken much notice. Any tips/tricks on getting...

RE: showers. I passed through Haneda J lounge the other week and snagged a shower within ten minutes. The lounge itself was a zoo, no surprize NH doesn't want more people with access

Antony Green looking suspiciously at the chicken scallopini in the Air NZ lounge in SYD the other night.

I'm flying QR on the weekend ADL - MEL - DOH - ZAG in Y. VA details inputted into the booking okay. VA lounge access in ADL no drama but I'm going to ask ADL counter staff for a pass to the lounge in MEL to kill my two hours there. Anyone had any luck with this? Also, do I need to ask to be put...

Chui spent the day at Tullamarine recently filming.

I avoid QF where I can but yesterday found myself on a couple of sectors including QF529 from BNE to SYD. Credit where credit is due - the flight crew were exceptional, especially the CSM Charles who greeted every passenger by name and a nice to meet you. Plats in the first few rows of Y where...

Keep an eye/ear out on Jan 31.

I have a soft spot for the Hilton ADL. Sure, it lost its spark in about 1999 but I often stay there in winter when it is raining and I find the joint cosy in a slipper and dressing gown kind of way. Love the takeout options from the market and Hong Kong BBQ next door, but mourning loss of...

Can confirm still no lounge access in SYD for VFF gold. Was knocked back from the ANZ lounge tonight when booked in QR Y with my VA number in the system. Might add the check in staff had no real idea about access either.
