I been known to drive alone in my car wearing a mask. I have a virus with a cough and my husband (who drives more often than I do) doesn’t. I can’t cover my mouth properly while I’m driving and I don’t want to spread germs all over the steering wheel. A mask takes care of it.

Well, I ticked “no” and am on my flight, coughing up a storm but at least wearing my N95 mask. Not making eye contact with the poor chap in the window seat.

I'm fine. I just have a cold with a cough. But the app still does ask you to declare that you don't have this type of symptom (potential COVID symptoms) when you check in.

I’m travelling for work, due to fly home tomorrow, and have come down with a cold. Negative for COVID, so I am wrestling with my conscience. If I tick, “yes, I have respiratory symptoms” when I check in, what happens? Do they verify that I’m COVID negative, ask me to wear a mask and let me on...

6AM TSV-BNE flight was the pumpkin and carrot frittatas, which were quite nice. A little greasy on the fingers so if they aren’t offering cutlery, a napkin would have been nice. Missed the immediate connecting flight due to a slight delay, which put me on: 11AM BNE-CBR. A lunchtime flight, but...

Not mid week, unfortunately. I did tick Y+/W fallback but I wonder if that is worthwhile? I haven't travelled premium economy before -- is it really any more comfortable than standard Y? (I'm not tall and benefit if there's greater recline, but don't benefit from extra legroom).

I have a SYD-DFW return trip coming up in late June, booked economy. I've already submitted points upgrade requests. As SG, do I have much of a chance of success?

I don hit think the lounge area has changed, though?

Townsville QC has declined further. They went from couches to plastic bucket chairs some time ago — presumably so they could fit more in, and now they have resorted to wooden school chairs. And the music still at party volume. Unless you’re after a glass of wine or a snack, you’re almost better...

If a 5pm-8pm flight isn’t a dinner, service, it should be. No-one who doesn’t live in a nursing home eats dinner before 5pm and very few in Australia eat after 8pm. By the time you pick up your luggage and get to your hotel, other dinner options will be very limited indeed.

PER-CBR. The braised lamb was gluggy with corn starch but the sides were very good and the service, excellent. I have put the 100g block of Koko black chocolate aside for later and am enjoying the Maggie Beer ice cream for dessert.

QF2409 EMD-BNE at 1700 yesterday: savoury biscuits and dip with a wine service. QF760 BNE-TSV at 1935: warm chicken panini and beer/wine/softdrink. The flight crew came around and offered a second panini to anyone who wanted it -- good service. I could be misremembering, but I think the...

Is there a corporate policy regarding music and the volume of music in Qantas lounges? I ask because although in most lounges the music is set to a pleasant, low background level, in recent months the Townsville lounge has had the volume pumped up much louder. It’s not so loud that you can’t...

Yes -- this happened to me on a flight to Europe once. Those of us who had paid for exit-row seats were the only ones that didn't have a row to ourselves!

Double status credits or a 50% discount would do it for me. I might be willing to take a middle seat for a smaller discount if the flight were under 90 minutes. Certainly not for a small chance of a prize.
