    An Awful Qantas Experience That Must Be Shared.

    Delta SkyMiles Status Match Discussion

    Just got back from my holidays - quick update: - managed to get into SkyTeam lounge in SYD and all CI operates lounges in TPE (both during transit and at departure) and NRT with no major issues. Slight non-event at SYD as I only obtained the status challenge a while after I purchased my CI...
