Melbourne airport is packed with these dudes... at least I know what price to ask for in my 'own' city.

First time I arrived at Inchon airport I foolishly accepted the help of a very helpful "taxi" driver who drove me in his limo taxi to my hotel. 160000 won (about $160) when a regular taxi driver is around 70000 won and the limo bus (which is excellent) is 16000. I sadly knew no better though...

I will be doing another trip in May to Korea with CX... will see if I get similar standard. Compared to Asiana (which I can book though QF) where I have to transit through Sydney, recheck with Asiana in Sydney (which is hugely painful), then fly on their old 777s with the terrible inflight...

Just did a Melbourne to Taiwan (via Hong Kong) return trip, all on Cathay Pacific. I am Qantas Platinum but booked direct with Cathay, all in discount economy. On the four legs I was upgraded from Economy to Premium Economy twice. On each flight I was personally greeted by the CSM. Because I...

Have to agree... as the original poster... the problem that I saw at the time is now totally gone.. points are posting very fast indeed.

Amusingly I had a look at Passbook on the iPhone (which I have used for my last 10 flights) and there is no sequence number on the 'front' panel. I then noticed the small 'i' in bottom right hand corner which has some extra service info and sure enough at the bottom is the sequence number. Best...

I just came back on Sunday on QF94 in seat 80A. It is a great seat, only comment, it does get a bit cold.... but I wrapped a blanket round my legs and all good. I am 6' 4" so really appreciated not only the stretching space but the fact that no one could drop down in front of me. The guy in...

While sitting in the LAX First Class lounge waiting for QF94 I quickly called my wife. I said "I am in the LAX First Class Lounge" She misheard and said 'Sorry did you say third class lounge?' I looked around at the vast number of people sitting on the floor and standing for lack of chairs and...

QF93 out of Melb Sunday Jan6 also had the December movies....

They finally updated and now show jan and Feb.

Tried to check what movies Qantas are showing in International in January. Checked yesterday and today, no months in the months dropdown. Is this normal at the start of each month? At this URL: International Inflight Entertainment | Qantas

Good suggestion, Consume is a great app... see if they are open to suggestions...

I have both Consume and Quota on the iPhone to quickly check my FF points, but while Consume shows total FF points and lifetime SCs, it does not show history. Quota shows history, but once you hit platinum it gets confused and doesn't show useful info. Has anyone found a better app?

Re: When unstated WP, WP1 and CL benefits become almost farcical to fellow passengers Friday morning domestic Mel to Syd, an FA with a list of passengers came and offered each of them papers before offering them generally. The passengers (of which I was one) were greeting by name (quickly read...

So this year I slipped from Plat to Gold and spent 7 months working my way back (mainly in discount economy). Having just made it back to Platinum I was amused to get the welcome to Platinum package with two shiny new RFID bag tags. Appears they dont remember they sent you a set last time you...
