Received a very strong rejection when applying for the recent ANZ Qantas points promtion and a letter from ANZ saying I failed my Veda report. Have submitted information to access my free Veda report and just now did the "getcreditscore" form which has come back with a 990+. Interesting!

Only had one go and that was BNE on the way to Africa. I too left tissues in my pocket and was made to remove them and start again. Bit silly and intrusive I thought...until I went through secururity at Freetown, Sierra Leone on the way home. Multiple full body, full contact pat downs The first...

I was there last Wednesday and I believe it was closing the next day. Staff were doing a great job dealing with the crowding in the temporary section. Back in Darwin in two weeks and will get to sample the new lounge three weeks after that.

Me too and I am only red as well. All my flying recently has been with Qantas (work based).

Hang in there, you're way ahead of me. I got an instant rejection and have been sulking ever since :-|

Not a single credit card to my name. Two debit cards.

Application declined despite an income north of $300,000.

iPhone 4 running IOS 7. App retrieved my online booking for tomorrow: BNE-MEL-BNE including accomodation booked through Qantas. Had my status correct(sigh, back to PS with Qantas Club). Handled online check in (sequence 2) okay after crashing first time. Didn't initially show chosen seats from...

Looks like it may be an FPSO or variant. Can see a helideck port forward, a provisions crane starboard midships and a flare tower aft though don't hold me to it as the image is very washed out.

I have, once at BNE with my luggage going to West Africa. Only cost $11 and protected the bag really well from bumps and scrapes by turning it into a solid, compacted duffel bag. Plastic is not shrink wrap but is stretched during the wrapping is is hard to get off. They actually included a small...

I know the Songa Mercur, worked on the sister rig Songa Venus and it is working in Vietnam. Don't know the guy but sounds like he may be a Radio Operator, Ballast Control Officer or maybe Barge Master going by his detailed position report. Not your usual rig pig.

Error 404 in QLD on my MacBook Air using Firefox.

Worst: Salo (pig fat) in Siberia. Live octopus in South Korea.

QF650 PER-BNE on 26th Feb (today). Managed a points upgrade to J and Gregory and the team did a great job in a full cabin. Efficient and friendly and complimented by good food well presented. Sent feedback to peoples choice award as well. Thank you!

Flight QF51, BNE-SIN, today 18th Jan. All the crew looking after Premium Economy. Excellent work performed with grace and a smile. Thank you.

I'm on QF51 tomorrow but only Premium Economy. Usually have good experiences on this flight so will be interesting. Will listen out for any grumblings coming from pointy end :lol:

As you can see from my avatar, I am FIFO though it is offshore oil and gas and almost none of us wear flouro to/from work, mostly because it would be too dirty(ingrained oil and grease stains) or torn with buttons missing etc. Not a single vessel, barge or platform that I have ever worked on or...

We chartered the rescue helo(booked in advance with gold amex) from Kyanjin Gompa in the Langtang Valley. Two short packed hang gliders strapped to the skids and three smelly but happy pax inside. Incredible flight at 12,900' AMSL. Late morning so the cloud is trying to shut us down. 5 minutes...

We had our flight cancelled(years ago now) due to a cracked windscreen. They herded us on board so we could be fed while they organised hotels. The new windscreen and technician to fix it had to fly in from BKK. On arrival at the hotel(name forgotten now but 4 or 5 star) we all rushed for our...
