    CX arrivals lounge in Frankfurt

    Ok, has anyone had any experience with this? A bit of googling suggested that the arrivals lounge is airside, before immigration/luggage, and you have to let your bags go round and round if you want to have a shower and a quick breakfast. Does anyone here have experience with this?

    CX arrivals lounge in Frankfurt

    I will be travelling to Frankfurt on Cathay, with a 4hr transfer to a ICE train to Munich. I wanted to know how the Cathay arrivals lounge works at Frankfurt. Is it seperate the departures lounge, or shared (i.e. airside). Do I get my luggage before going to the lounge? Also, I will have...

    Can QFF Platinums get Y award seats released?

    Ok, so seatcounter says that the flight has plenty of N-class fares available. I have called Qantas, and asked them about an award seat, to which they replied 'no, none available on that flight'.

    Can QFF Platinums get Y award seats released?

    Can QFF Platinums get Y award seats released?

    Hi all, I recall a while back that if QFF platinums wanted to redeem points for a reward seat on a leg that had showed no availability (but still had plenty of seats available, including red-e deals), they could call up Qantas and get a seat 'released' for them to redeem using their points...

    ipod

    Not sure that's entirely true, Shano. I had a sizeable MP3 collection before I got my iPod, and iTunes was happy to load them onto my iPod without conversion. The iPod has an MP3 decoder for that exact purpose. More proof of this is that you can copy MP3 files off any iPod (out of a hidden...

    ipod

    All iPods are made by the company "Apple". An iPod is an MP3 (digital music) player, and there are many other MP3 players on the market. iPods are generally considered one of the best, and are as much a fashion symbol as a music player.

    BA luggage allowance for QF/OW status

    Ok, its a separte ticket, so the econ limit applies. I cant find anything about this 32kg limit you mention, but my flights are in the first week of September, so this is quite good news. I am guessing that they recently lowered it, and are having a grace period for the transition, without penatly?
