Every time this airline pops up in any of my AvGeek feeds, the only thing I can think of is "Glory to Arstotzka!!"

Tomorrow's QF81 (A388 SYD-SIN) has been rescheduled from midday to 21.45. New arrival time in SG is 3am 😭😭

I would have paid the same reapplying for the visa at the desk and wasted an extra 1-2 hours so it makes little difference for me and it is not that it was behind closed doors or anything, it was right at the counter with all other counters full. I am told it is not uncommon.

Apparently forgot to change (or did not save?!?) my DoB in my online Indonesian visa application, which defaulted to the date I completed the application instead of my actual DoB. Immigration officer pointed it at passport check and offered 2 options. 1. Queue (for 1+ hour) at the VoA counter...

At the gate upgrade on QF42 CGK - SYD Y→J as Gold.

Took me a while to process that VH there and from today onwards I choose to believe that every single Australian registered plane starts with reference to Vanessa Hudson. e.g. Today I caught "Vanessa Hudson - OQB" out of Singapore on J and tomorrow I am on ReX's "Vanessa Hudson - RYU" to...

Yesterday's / Today's top Traveller Letter in the Sydney morning herald has someone complaining about airline accommodations for a shoulder injury and a travel agent that did not make any arrangements...

Unless you have a very very early flight that you need to catch, the difference between staying near Changi or Downtown is a 25 minute Taxi ride (30-40$ top) or a 40-45 minute metro and there are certainly way more things you can do downtown, even if that involves "just" a walk down Chinatown...

They most likely have the terminal but they prefer to avoid paying taxes. Was the printer for the receipt also broken by any chance??

Flew SkyExpress within Greece and was quite positively surprised. New fleet (at least their A320neos) and decent service. Not bad to have some extra competition for Aegean locally and within Europe.

I am OK with the status extension. Booking has been a mess especially with bookings that could not be ticketed, which effectively ruined my chances of maintaining status, so 1 extra year is atleast something.

It is a QF booking (all QF flights) but combination of QF and EK flights

Out of curiosity @love_the_life when is your flight? I have been trying to get them to issue a ticket and (among their many replies) the answer I get is that the flights are further away and they are prioritising earlier tickets. This has been going on for more than a week - or three weeks...

On the positive note, calls seem to go through instantly today which is great, because on the negative note, the line dropped twice (I want to believe that it was the unreliability of the "system", because in one case it seemed more than the agent disconnected the line) and ticketing issues with...

It must have been a big wave of dates as mine also arrived and my last transaction was on the last day of the offer.
