Thank you all of you for your valuable input, particularly Dave for his detailed info. So far we have our seat requests window and aisle "kk" (confirmed) by sq in our booking so fingers crossed it all goes well. I like your suggestion about requesting the upper deck on the a380, might try for...

I am VA gold which expires in May. I have the required number of eligible sectors but not quite enough status credits to requalify. Hubby and I are going PER-SIN-Narita and Osaka-SIN-PER and he pools his points and status credits into my account. So I will requalify as Gold. My question...

Some of my Concorde memories... In the 70s I was a travel agent in the uk and could have gone on Concorde fairly cheaply but just never got around to it because I thought it would always be there and could do it later. i remember once it landed at gatwick airport. There were no complaints about...

Flew back to per from Bne yesterday morning on 737 and definitely got free feed in Y. Breakfast scrambled eggs and bacon or potato something or other. I had the potato thingy and it was ok, came with baked beans and asparagus. Also the usual fruit mix of pineapple water melon and rock melon...

I was just reading this thread and thought I would check on my own UpgradeMe Bid and found an email confirming that we have been upgraded to business class for our flight PER-BNE on Friday 25th Oct. We'd paid $189 each for the flight (I think it was a Saver fare but I can't find the receipt or...

Hello simongr. I agree with the other posters, that most countries say you have to have at least 6 months validity in your passport. FYI, I am about to renew my UK passport which expires in October and I notice in the small print that it does say they give extra validity if you renew early. In...

I thought I would post again to tell anybody else who like me wasn't sure where the power outlet is. I had to ask a cabin crew member where to find the power on the A380 and at first she told me there was none in Economy. I told her that their web site said there was and again she told me...

I have returned after my trip. Didn't get an upgrade. Had 4 seats to myself PER/KUL, an empty seat next to me KUL/LHR. unfortunately then had a full flight LHR/KUL and in an aisle seat of 2 KUL/PER. So seating not too bad. Got into the lounges OK at PER, KUL and LHR. PER is cr*p. No loos...

simonpenny408, what class were you booked in? I'm only in O and Q.... I suspect no FF points or status credits will be forthcoming. My travel agent has got me fairly good seats on each flight though, about what I would have expected on a QF flight for gold.

markis10, thank you very much. It wasn't clear from anything I could find to look at or read. I'll have my oz plug plus the GB one anyway.

Scuse my ignorance. I have never bothered with in seat power when flying previously on QF. Next week I am flying to London on MH on the A380 (economy class) and I would like to be able to use my laptop. I have googled this but can't find a definitive answer. What sort of power plug do I...

This is the first time I have used my QF FF OneWorld status on another airlines flights. Malaysia from PER to LHR & return. I booked through a travel agent and asked her to ensure my FF number was entered in the booking. I also asked her to request an aisle seat. Can anybody who travels...

A few years ago we were on the same Emirates flights as Hank Marvin +1 from PER/DXB/LGW. We were delayed leaving PER and all had a rushed escorted run from the arrival gate to the LGW departure gate and he had to run too. We then saw him collecting his luggage including a white guitar case at...

Best I can do is one of 4 on a flight from Miri to Mulu (Sarawak), but it was only a little fokker, we got no special attention and it is only a half hour flight anyway! Reading the post about the MAS flight taking off with no announcement, I do remember travelling on an Iberia flight where we...

Hubby and I got UKL1.99 fares from Pau to Stanstead in about 2004 and thought we had done really well till I bragged to my friend over there and she told me she had paid 99p. About 1995 we paid $599 to fly Thai from PER/BKK/PER when the normally cheapest economy return fare was over $800 and we...

Well, I guess you had to be there .... but it was funny/awful at the time. My friend got omelette spilt down her rather attractive red crimpolene uniform dress (anybody else remember those?) and we could not get the green stain out with anything until we tried drain cleaner. We found that a...

The last couple of flights from KTA to PER I have been on (QF1905 departing at 4:15pm) dinner/snack has been a meat pie. Yuk. I even offered it to the man sitting next to me and he didn't want it either. I'll have to think about taking the advice given above of travelling on a "dinner" flight...

I'd just like to add another two-bob's worth, that I think it a little unfair to say "don't use Travelex". I did compare rates online for at least 4 banks/travelex/qantas travelex and on more than one occasion they came out cheaper. I would not be buying from a booth or travel agent though, at...

The last few times I've gone overseas (Indonesia, USA & UK) I have compared rates online with Westpac, CommBank, Travelex (not via Qantas, you pay more to get the points), plus I think ANZ & AusPost. They mostly use the Amex system online but they do have slightly different rates and fees. I...

How interesting jb747, thank you. FYI, the flight had to remain in SIN from around noon when we landed until 7:30pm because of the curfew in SYD. So the poor old Sydney passengers were also delayed even though they were already on the same aircraft. At least us Perth passengers knew we had to...
