The Westin.

I agree. Perhaps he couldn't afford it - them Jag tyres are expensive! :o

Melissa George, QF12 on 23 Sep. As she came through the lounge in LAX there was a lot of "remember, that bird from Home and Away". :)

Recently had a guy next to me in the LAX oneworld F Lounge on Skype, no headphones, volume excessive, to his wife. 10 minutes of "i can hear you, but can you hear me?" and "it's very patchy, speak slower". He got the main details of the conversation across (flight arrival times), then asked what...

You are in for a treat at Tufi. We live in POM and travelled there two months ago for a long weekend. The staff, food, location, diving are all fantastic. The 'cultural tour' is a must-do - it's amazing. I take it you are travelling to Tufi on Airlines PNG? If so, this should be via...

First post in a long while. Partner and I travelling LAX-SYD on QF12 yesterday, op-upped from Y to Y+ (We are both SG). Heard other PAX had been called by QF during the week to reschedule their flight to SYD. First time in Y+ on the A380 and was very impressed.

My partner was op-upped from Y+ to J on QF128 on Tuesday. I'm thinking this is due to Chinese New Year? Works out well for me - our trip to the States later this year got the tick of approval for a Y+ minimum and potentially J "it's just much nicer up there". So thanks QF, our scheme to...

I recently took V Atlantic to LHR via HKG in PE. I upgraded at SYD - for ~600AUD if memory serves. The big difference was the seat - wider and a better recline and in leather. I am 182cm and it was comfortable enough, managed about 7 hours on the HKG-LHR leg. There was no difference in the food...

I stayed at the Blue Horizon in Jan 2008 and it was very good. The room itself was well appointed, comfortable bed, well heated, outstanding views and when I stayed for 6 nights got a rate of $106 Canadian/night. Close enough to Downtown that everything was in walking distance. Close to the...

Thanks for that. It makes sense, and my mate was sitting next to some French speakers, so probably benefical for them. I remembered today that I thought "ask the cabin crew what the reason was" but far too much Shiraz was consumed for me to remember to ask ;) Cheers.

This is related to the QF safety brief. On the weekend I was flying SIN-PER (QF78) on an A330. The safety brief was in both English and French. This was the first time I have heard it in French (admittedly I have only flown PER-SIN-PER twice in the last 8 months). Now I'm thinking the reasons...

Ahhh...yes, the pool party was the talk of the island. I am actually v disappointed I didn't get out to it. Everyone I have spoken to said it was an amazing night! The scooters were brilliant! Although I was in macho idiot mode and didn't wear a helmet, which I paid for with a 200 baht fine...

Well, my best intentions to keep constantly updating all went to hell after the Full Moon Party! Now I am sitting in the SIN T1 J Lounge waiting for QF78 to ferry me back to Perth and some sense of normality. The wait is made all the more pleasurable by being lighter 24k points and knowing I get...

I am wondering why I thought it was a good idea to go do a Thai boxing lesson. Although it is bliss when you can go from an 8 dollar lesson to an 8 dollar massage :D Day 4 - When we did the train. Today was again spent recuperating from NYE. Large amounts of tomato juice consumed. I think...

Thanks for replies thus far :cool: Day 2 Saw us arise and head out to Orchard road for some window shopping and food. We strolled around until about 3pm and collected bags and headed out to SIN, T1. We were the second pax to check in at the Jetstar counters, went through customs and looked...
