I agree entirely - it does seem like QF holds back on offering the services as if they're afraid people might want to use them. The only way I found out there were private rooms in the SYD F lounge that could be booked by passengers was to read about it here on AFF. I've never once been told...

The bus certainly is the weak link in what is supposed to be a premium flying experience. At least on the way out the bus is just a prelude to the better experiences to come, but on the way in it is quite a shock to go from the comfort of the F cabin into the back of a massive queue of people...

Circle Pacific fares need to include a south-east Asian port, and only the xCIR29SA fares can be used to fly through South America. You can easily drop HKG into the trip flying CX from the US and QF or CX back to Australia, and you don't need to stopover in Hong Kong if you don't want to - just...

Re: First photos: Qantas reveals new Hong Kong, Los Angeles lounges As long as they can manage to install a WiFi connection at LAX that works with more than 5 people in the lounge then the rest of the revamp is just a bonus.

My recent QF F flights over the last few months have all been in full cabins. SYD-LAX does seem the busiest overall however the SYD-HKG flights I've taken have all had 14 seats occupied as well. By contrast my CX flights HKG-LAX recently were completely full in J yet only myself and one other...

I guess as someone who always flies ex-CBR with just cabin baggage I probably miss out on those other non-airside benefits of the F cabin.

When flying CBR-SYD-xx_ where the outbound SYD flight is QF First I always get a call the day prior to travel from the First host in Sydney asking if I need any assistance finding the transfer bus or the F lounge. I've never said yes as I don't need someone to hold my hand on the bus - I suspect...

This thread prompted me to check my booking details - it's the first time I've needed to use the Chauffeur Drive service. I'm in the middle of an ACIR22 trip with a final SYD-BNE leg. I had booked a Chauffeur Drive service from BNE to the city - all locked in and confirmed - about a week prior...

I flew SYD-HKG in QF First a few days ago - I was up working during the flight and on a couple of occasions I was startled by the sound of a baby crying. Funnily enough the baby was in the front section of Y and the sound travelled through the aircraft rather than respecting the acoustic border...

Re: F seating on Qantas A380 The food itself is probably of similar quality, but the main difference is the presentation and service. I can't relate specifically to the A380 as I've not experienced J on the A380, but assuming it's similar to 747 J the food service is still cart based -...

I actually prefer 5K for that reason - the proximity to the galley means the FAs can always see when your wine glass is empty and take appropriate immediate action... If I'm up working during the flight I'm happy to be able to pop back to the galley area to stretch my legs and chat to the FAs...

Just to add - the front desk staffer at the CBR J lounge rechecked our passport details as we entered the lounge. The other issue I'd forgotten was that she also have us our outbound immigration cards and express passes, both of which obviously can only be obtained at the airport.

Provided you've entered your APIS information you can check in online and print your boarding passes for international flights* without needing to see a counter agent. Your passport will be checked against your boarding pass at customs and most likely again at the gate. *I've done this for...

And the next day after saying that, Westpac manage to send their banking system offline for more than 12 hours. No payments in or out, no payroll processing, no account access online or on the phone. Nothing. For 10 hours their response was "we will tell you when it is fixed" and "no we don't...

Personally I'd pay the required fee and select your own seats so you're all seated together. I can only remember 3 occasions where I've flown internationally without having selected a seat prior to checkin: 1. As an 11yr old flying with my parents and 9yr old sister, HNL-SYD on Continental...

I'm sure I've chimed in before on this one but I'll put another vote in for 5K which I always preselect at the time of buying the ticket. I've done 5A (with baby in tow) and found myself being disturbed by the FAs accessing the closet adjacent to that seat. I prefer the back of the cabin as I...

I assume that this only extends to the CL themselves and not the other pax travelling on their booking? That would explain how I ended up in my (preselected) 1C on a MEL-CBR flight sitting next to then-minister Simon Crean in 1A, who was quite annoyed to find a random stranger as his seat mate...

Yes, I've been finding Westpac's service and offerings on the decline lately. My company has been banking with them for 36 years and all of our personal banking is with them also. In the last few months our 'relationship manager' left and we haven't been given a replacement yet. They've...

Just to revive a dead thread - it seems there is another current promotion to join QFF for free. The link that came in the email today is: https://www.qantas.com.au/fflyer/do/dyns/joinffp?code=REDEMAIL&rmid=18JUN13_FF_FOC_Join I wonder if the IT team that sends out these 'targeted' emails...
