A few years ago I flew from Aberdeen ABZ to Frankfurt for work. Once airborne, the man behind stretched out and had his feet well and truely in my foot area which meant I did the 2+ hour flight with my feet all the way forward, it got very uncomfortable after a while. I tried standing on his...

Just remembered, Boracay was hands down the worst, from checkin to boarding, it's all about ripping the pax off, HATED IT. Warsaw was a great airport, the Emirates Lounge was fun, tomato juice and Vodka, plenty of it !!

For me the worst Airport is Melbourne, dirty, badly laid out, and drab. I HATE every minute in it. The Qantas lounge in both Domestic and especially international are awful. I don't mind Sydney airport and prefer Perth over Mel now Perth has had a bit of a make over.

Hi All I've been lucky in my life, I spent a long time working on North Sea oil rig working up to 6 weeks at a time at sea. then later on in that job I worked 3 weeks on 3 weeks off followed by 4 weeks on 6 weeks off for the last 2 years. This was all before I could phone home every night and...

Not in the lounge as such BUT I would like to say how grotty, packed, loud and generally untidy and worn out the Melbourne international business lounge was last month (or is it just me?) I flew from Melbourne to Dubai with QF on the late night flight and spent 20 mins in the lounge before I...

I did ask to see the calibration certificate for the scales at the customer service desk but was fibbed off with some sh%t. I was given the usual line "they were calibrated earlier in the year" to which I said "then you will be able to provide a certificate then" but more sh^t. It's easier...

Also watch out for baggage touts, they touch your bag for 5 seconds then want payment for handling them. I have traveled to third world countries many times in the last 40 years but sh^t service is still sh^t service.

Yep, about $50, the money's not the point, the point is that at no time were we informed that we would have to pay another departure tax. We left Manila with a combined bag weight of 19.8kg and we left Caticlan with 25 kg and in that time we bought NOTHING !! I asked when the scales were last...

I flew fromSydney to London a few years ago and man was carrying a jar of frozen Bull cough. It was stored in liquid nitrogen, as you can imagine, the crew wanted nothing to do with it. It was carried in the over head lockers. We used to bring the rig workers back from a Danish Rig back to...

A warning to all you travellers out there. Just back from a friends weeding in Boracay and was stung on the way home. Got dropped off at Caticlan Airport for my flight to Manila with Philippine Airline Express (PAL) and was charged 1000 peso excess baggage THEN 200 peso each airport tax. NO...

Hi simongr Thanks for your reply. The company i work for have booked the fights on a BA booking number so it's PE out bound, they where $500 cheaper then normal econ and it's normal econ home. I will try at the lounge at Sing and use points there or at Heathrow. The Qantas telephone staff...

Hi Hvr Many thanks for the reply. I called Qantas today about another issue and I raised the issue. They where very helpful and looked at my booking and told me I would gain 240 status points for the trip. I was told to call BA about using points to up-grade on the Sing to Bris leg but...

G'day all I'm new to this so please be careful with me, please I am booked to fly from Brisbane to Norway with BA and Qantas soon. It's a QF flight to Sing then BA onwards. I am in premium economy all the way out but normal bog standard economy on the way home. My question is, will I get...
