    The totally off-topic thread

    I don't know how you all do it. I'm starting to get really sick of flying. Have been away from AFF for a while but it's interesting to see a lot of familiar names still here. After dropping to SG for a couple of years I now have a new job which means I just re-qualified for WP all via dom Y...

    Aquire 50% extra Status Credits and double Aquire points offer

    Sorry all, I did go through every page of this thread but that Jan 27 date went straight over my head it seems.

    Aquire 50% extra Status Credits and double Aquire points offer

    I've read the Ts & Cs but this is still not crystal clear to me... Does this apply to new bookings only? I would love to take advantage of this offer but all my travel is booked for the offer period. The above is a little ambiguous since the order in which you must both "register" and "book"...

    Flight Availability/Loadings & Upgrade Probability Help Desk

    Is anyone able to look up the flight loadings for QF93 (MEL-LAX) tomorrow? (SUN OCT 04) I've applied for an upgrade from Y to J but haven't had any notification from QF. I'm only SG these days so I think I might be sh** out of luck.

    Heads up about program changes

    Solid F minus. I'm burning all my points and bailing from QFF. No plans to join any other program. I hate Virgin just as much. I reckon I'm done with the loyalty thing for now.

    SYD Business Lounge - ''this is not an arrivals lounge'

    I duck in to the SYD J lounge on arrival for 5-10 minutes almost every time I land there. For me, it's the best place to get changed & make sure I'm looking presentable for meetings. I'm up front with the desk staff about it too. Never had a problem. I would be pretty unhappy if I got this...

    Re: Jet Star 787 - Looks pretty good! We move in different circles I guess.

    Jetstar first 787-8 dreamliner in new livery

    Re: Jet Star 787 - Looks pretty good! OK sure. I'm sure most of you could come up with lots of reasons why it's a bad idea. I think my point still stands though - there's a perception issue which could probably be better handled.

    Jetstar first 787-8 dreamliner in new livery

    Re: Jet Star 787 - Looks pretty good! I get that the Airbus aircraft coming over from JQ are still young, and with a new fitout when most passengers step on board would be none the wiser. Most of the AFF regulars understand that. My point was that outside our little community of airline...

    Jetstar first 787-8 dreamliner in new livery

    Re: Jet Star 787 - Looks pretty good! Nearly everyone I've spoken to about this outside of AFF seems to be of the opinion that there's something very wrong about QF getting JQ's hand-me-downs. I don't know enough about the situation to reply with anything meaningful, so I just nod and smile...

    737-400 to Syd !!!

    $0.02 The convertible nature of the 734 J class seats is also confusing for the flight crew. I have been sternly reprimanded 2 times now (out of a total of 2 734 flights) for attempting to use the loos at the front of the aircraft (as a J class passenger). I try my best not to look like a...

    QF Offal in Red Wine Sauce

    A good outcome. We got there in the end. Great to see Red Roo respond to this on AFF and assist with getting it sorted out. I've felt reasonably indifferent towards the quality of Y meals in the last few months (I presume that's what they're aiming for). Never had anything close to a shocker...

    Which oneworld lounge if flying AA us domestic in SFO?

    Just to clarify, there's not really much in the way of free food in the AC. They have these tiny sugar laden muffins in the morning and a trail mix type thing for the rest of the day, maybe some biscuits, etc. That's about it. They have a food menu which you can order from & pay for. Again, the...

    Which oneworld lounge if flying AA us domestic in SFO?

    After you check in & pass security at SFO you'll basically only have 1 option which is the Admirals Club. It's on the left just as you clear security. Also there's a nice deli type place across from the AC (called Farms Market?). I would recommend getting whatever food/drinks you want from...
