    I probably don't understand how it works but I can see it as a Classic Award for 72,000 points and $212.13.

    Our Emirates plane was sprayed on Wednesday's flight Abidjan (ABJ) to Dubai(DXB) during the stopover/refueling at Accra(ACC). Two FA's carried at least 4 cans of insecticide each up and down the aisle creating quite an effective fog.

    I've just flown LHR-DXB, DXB-BNE, BNE-DXB and DXB-ABJ on Emirates metal and EK ticket. I tried making sense of the requirements as a Qantas Gold member but Blue(no status) with Emirates but the only way I was allowed access to Emirates lounges was to credit my points to Qantas and have my QF...

    Have you received your new Qantas Card? Apply for Qantas Cash today.

    Yeah, I tried that but it blocked any further attempts. Funnily enough at the PO they did the same process and it seemed to go through. Have to wait for an email from Qantas telling me all is good then I can chase up a pin.

    What to do when the engine stops!

    Very nice. Reminds me of all my outlandings as a Hang Glider pilot. It always pays to be on the lookout for a landing spot.

    Where can I get a power adapter in Tokyo?

    Get your hotel to show you the way to Akihabara. Massive number of electrical/electronic shops. Someone will have what you need. Take an "Aussie" plug/lead with you or at least a photo to help overcome any language problems.

    Passengers requesting to change seats with other passengers

    Many years ago on a flight from MEL to LAX in cattle class on a US carrier the FA came along and asked a lady in front of me if she would move to allow a recently married young couple to sit together. She agreed. She was also half drunk already so after the move(maybe 10 minutes) she went right...

    Do you do anything to prepare for a plane crash?

    Okay, I should have said I leave my glasses off for the take off until seat belt sign goes out and off for the landing until we at least exit the runway. Having glasses with you for an evac is very sensible:)

    Do you do anything to prepare for a plane crash?

    Same as our helicopter briefing. shoes on, glasses off(even sunglasses). Sit up straight, feet flat on floor. Seat belt tight. Carry nothing if there is an evacuation, the aircraft may not be orientated in the "normal" position.
