    Chauffeur Drive? Maybe pushing it...

    The booking engine doesn't give me an option as it is DRW-SYD-MEL. Anecdotal evidence from the forum has indicated the the FLounge will look after carry on for pax wanting to shop. Unsure as to whether the F Suite will be as obliging. I am hoping that the F Host makes contact but I am...

    Chauffeur Drive? Maybe pushing it...

    How far will they push CD for F pax? We arrive into MEL at 9am today week on QF J and depart MEL for LHR at 4pm on QF F. Given that will have us in Mel for around 7 hours, does anyone think that QF would be amicable towards sending us into the city and return using CD for 3 or 4 hours...

    AAdvantage Booking over the Festive Season (Non AA Carrier)

    So i've been looking into internal flights throughout Europe (Flying BA) and noticed surprisingly that on Monday, the availability of (ATH-LHR-DUB) and (DUB-LHR-FCO) went from being available in J on every day between now and 28th Jan (on both legs) to zero availability on any but a few dates...

    No J Meal onboard - follow up or let it slide?

    As a J Pax, I would most likely write them about it. A certain level of service is expected in the cabin, which is why we pay/redeem a significant amount more than other pax. Whilst it could be generally accepted that getting to the destination is more important than arriving at the...

    The Qantas Singapore Lounge

    Was in the lounge myself last night, very comfortable, friendly staff, delicious coughtails and plenty off space. Apart from the gentleman who continued to sip his drink and read his book whilst his toddler was screaming to the point of turning purple for about 20 minutes, everything was fine...

    Has anyone had success with the call-up "Marginal" xASA's?

    re: Has anyone had success with the call-up method for "Marginal" xASA's? So that is now 7 phone calls made, still haven't booked a seat, beyond a joke really. Last guy said I will have to prove the second passenger is my "domestic partner" at the airport or they wont produce her ticket as the...

    Has anyone had success with the call-up "Marginal" xASA's?

    New Darwin Lounges?

    The problem is that there is no lounge option and no QF intl departures. Darwin pax to sing or Bali with access to QP would be minimal at best. More of a gesture from QF for status pax or QP members that have to suffer with J*... It's so bad in fact, in flying DRW-SYD-MEL-Europe, J and F the...

    Bad behaviour in airports - would you say something

    I must agree with this... One of my pet hates is people that "block" queues due to their ignorance of their surroundings. Similiar to people who stop walking after stepping off an escalator, push a trolley out in front of you, dont indicate on roundabouts, etc, etc...

    Double Status Credits 2013

    My reassesment is 30 June, no DSC for me this year (as of yet). Looks like it wont be happening either! Got one last year when I didnt need it, however would have been a great incentive for me to stick with QF this year.
