Might be a Fight Club question, not sure what to say here. I had a set of flights that I hoped would accrue DSCs due to the Feb 2024 promotion. Has anyone else attempted to fly post the cutoff date and DSCs came through? I don't know if perhaps due to flying in the middle of the latest...

Hilton AKL, two nights, Diamond status Booked: King Deluxe Harbour View Received: King Deluxe Harbour View Two water bottles in room. Free breakfast, which we took advantage of on the first day, not the second due to flying on QF4 and leaving the hotel at around 4:20am. I mentioned this at...

I'm holding off booking a trip for one of two conferences in May due to the volatility in US immigration activities. While I'm a white, middle-aged lady who speaks English as a first language and am not a criminal, it feels far more likely that US immigration agents could find any reason to...

QF512 SYD-BNE, 10 am departure. Full J cabin - 3 options - frittata, french toast, or a French-style salad with vinaigrette dressing. I was in 3C, Mr Katie (who has an Aussie accent and was born here in Qld) was in 3D. The FA served 1AC then 1DF, 2AC and 2 DF, but then 3FD and 3CA. 3F...

Fat fingered typo, should have been “big”.

Just transferred through this morning. After a messy mosh pit to get through customs - backed up through Duty Free, then a section after the shop in the middle blocked off, we were all hustled over to the left side, through some cattle runs, then over to the right side and down the ramps. Let...

QF4 AKL-SYD Sun 16 March A fast flight, just somewhat over 2.5hrs in the end. We arrived about an hour early. Now, the food: I had the omelette. I thought it was OK. Mr Katie wanted the Avo on toast, but apparently the crucial ingredient of avocado was not loaded. He had the omelette and...

This was typed while on the SYD transfer bus, so all typos I attribute to the bus! 😆

QF3 SYD-AKL Fri 14 March Mr Katie had the big bowl of soup. He said it wasn’t what he’d call a big bowl. Ice cream was cold, but spoonable, rather than being a frozen rock.

It seems we were sitting in the right spot … did we just get the date wrong?? 🤣🤣 Thanks Alfie. Glad we were able to get away!

QF503 BNE-SYD 5:20am departure 😳 Choices: Bircher muesli, Eggs and Sausage or Bacon and Egg pie. His nibs and I both had the pie. It his the spot after about 3-4hrs of sleep. Tasty enough, I declined the bread.

For the peeps who flew QF4 home - what time do you recommend arriving at the airport? No bags to check.

Changed to next weekend Dep Fri Arr Sun, but options out of AKL were extremely limited (D tix).

I just called Qantas to change our flights for BNE-SYD-AKL-SYD-BNE this weekend for the AFF dinner. Limited availability coming back means we're on QF4 at ungodly hour on Sunday morning, but I guess that means we'll have some time to do the Sunday chores at home! The agent kept offering the...

The latest forecast map has Alfie at Straddie at 7pm tomorrow night, high tide at 16:17, low tide at 22:17, and the bigger high tide is at 5:18 on the 8th.

Just spent an hour running around Brisbane CBD to find a powerbank for my Mum. JB HiFi, Big W, Target, Officeworks, Apple, the Powerpod ATM outside Target were all sold out. Found a guy in a phone/phone accessory story in the Myer Centre, sorry UpTown, unpacking an order of powerbanks. Hooray...

I'm not sure as I wasn't living in Brisbane then (or anywhere, actually, just a zygote or something I guess :P) I know the flooding we had in 2022 was worse in our area than 1974 - and it was a well known flooded area in 1974, with many houses and businesses resumed afterwards. My area also...

Interesting! When we sandbagged our old house for one of the floods, we didn't account for the ingress from weep holes in the brickwork. 😢 This looks like it would account for that. Though for that house, it would need to be about 2m high.

With the predicted storm/cyclone arrival time, I don't think we'll be making our 7:45am flight to SYD on Friday. Especially as the govt has asked everyone who can to remain inside and not travel for the next two days. Yet to formally rebook the flights, but we're out. 😭 Sorry, this would have...

Have made a Plan B for the Teen and Mr Q (the dog). Will chat to Mr Katie at home tonight about whether we'll sit it out for another day or so or rebook for next weekend. But next weekend, there's no AFF dinner. :( (It's a DSC booking, which is why I want to keep it)
