    BA returning to BKK and KUL

    My best op-up luck was on BA in BKK. Started with an economy ticket and at checkin given an economy boarding pass. Then, at the lounge, I was given a new boarding pass for premium economy. Finally, at the gate, I was given a Club World boarding pass.

    Qantas Brisbane Domestic Business Lounge

    I noticed on recent visits that there has been no dragon standing at the J lounge entrance podium, even in the morning. More than a few were taking a chance to come in as the other desk further along was busy and not watching the entrance..

    FAA grounds 737 Max 9 Aircraft Indefinitely after Alaska Airlines incident

    They say they are inspecting Max 9 aircraft and putting them back into service after inspection, but do they really know what they are looking for? Until they find the plug and the reasons for its failure, they really won't be sure what to look for.

    That video of the lights outside the plane through a missing door is so surreal.

    VA Cancellations, Delays growing?

    Depending on rate codes, usually if you rent for three or four days there is no one way fee and it is still cheaper than the one way fee.

    LHR-PER-SYD with a 737 for the connecting PER-SYD

    4 hours flight when jetlagged is very different to a 4 hours single flight.

    LHR-PER-SYD with a 737 for the connecting PER-SYD

    Nothing worse than being dumped onto a 737 for a transcon after an 18 hour flight from London to Perth.

    UpgradeMe pricing and success

    A friend was showing me some bizzare upgrade process. She bid the minimum +$10 (so I think $320) for MEL to PER. Later she received an email that she had been outbid and suggesting she should bid $900. Yet the day before her flight she received a text from her credit card provider that a...

    VA Cancellations, Delays growing?

    I was at OOL on Friday and there were two cancellations from/to MEL. Thankfully I was on 347 to MEL which did get away. There was a large queue at the lounge with people trying to get on to 347. Unfortunately we had three fail to board our flight and went out with those seats empty - I...

    Life Time Gold - The [Realistic] Holy Grail

    I finally ticked over to LTG today. I came to QFF as an AN refugee and quickly purchased LTQC (which was very handy, especially when I was living in the US), which I think I got more than my moneys worth. It’s been uphill and down dale with different career moves over the years. Now I enter...

    General Medical issues thread

    Unfortunately due to the requirements of nursing homes now, some excellent small homes are closing their doors. Care is more than form filling and paper pushing.
