    Upgrade Dilemma

    For medical reasons 6hrs sleep minimum is essential for me and a night flight is for sleeping only- no food, no movies, as good as that all is you can usually get that flying the other leg. Personally taking a pill and sleeping 10 hrs as was the case on the A380 J is as good as it gets. Sleeping...

    The totally off-topic thread

    Although it might reassure you to know that having been in there myself, apart from being bored I didn't find it particularly distressing. It's not much more claustrophobic than a Skybed. Although I don't know how young she is. If the head movement is a big deal a light anaesthetic would solve...

    Shangra-la's Golden circle?

    My impression was that if you can afford to get to a high level you can probably afford to book a club room anyway. A bowl of fruit is nice but they have provided that in the Shangri-Las for me anyway, although I think you get to CHOOSE your fruit on the second tier of GC. The email newsletter...

    Double status credits on offer for eligible Qantas flights

    So it looks like im set. And only 2 flights to get over the line in the end. Anyone got some tips for a reasonable lunch at Brisbane airport for my 2 hrs between status run flights?

    I have clicked a few times and each time it just says "thank you for registering you may book now"

    Double status credits on offer for eligible Qantas flights

    The only link I can find was the one that confirms you want to receive offer emails from Qantas. But in any case I pushed the registration button again before booking and everything is in order as much as can be expected. I think I ignored the first email - maybe - because I had some big travel...

    Double status credits on offer for eligible Qantas flights

    Re: Best Status Run Options - A quick overview! Thank you. As long as they 'belong' to June 2012 that's fine - I assume if they arrive after the end of my QFF year I still get my status bumped up? In any case I have booked

    Double status credits on offer for eligible Qantas flights

    Re: Best Status Run Options - A quick overview! I'm not that naive, especially after that Velocity escapade! The email actually said thank you for registering AND BOOKING an eligible flight, presumably the one coming up next week? Maybe I need to wait to see what is credited then. I will call...

    Double status credits on offer for eligible Qantas flights

    Re: Best Status Run Options - A quick overview! Alice springs would be good but if there is a problem with the first flight and i miss the second I am in MAJOR trouble, I have one day only where I can do this trip and have 20 or so appointments the next day So I have 1130 SCs now I need 270...

    Double status credits on offer for eligible Qantas flights

    Re: Best Status Run Options - A quick overview! can you tell me what ballpark figure kind of points that burns? I'm not sure if I am finding very expensive JASAs?

    Double status credits on offer for eligible Qantas flights

    Re: Best Status Run Options - A quick overview! Could this be like the infamous Velocity "you have been promoted to the next status level for nothing, congratulations" followed an hour later by "OMG that was a mistake"? Anyway they have promised it and I'm booking However: It's say 25000...

    Air France passenger jet drops off radar

    Would the G-forces have prevented clear thinking? They mention TOGA not once but several times for example.

    ATO (tax office) payments by credit card

    Need to do this next week This government just doesn't seem capable of taking ANY action free of hideous unintended consequences. Presumably most punters don't game the system like some of us are experts at but if they did, the savings in the "surplus year" from this would be wiped out. In...

    Voluntary de-boarding

    Well ladders or other climbing implements cause vast amounts of injury and permanent disability...you wouldn't believe the figures. Relatively OK in under 50s but then it rockets up. I did get a Tupolov on a route that Dragon Air would probably have flown. I got on the Tupolov (I was very...

    Double status credits on offer for eligible Qantas flights

    I got it today but it said "thanks for registering and here is a reminder" ?? Maybe I got it but before my last trip had given up any idea of getting to SG let alone higher

    Double status credits on offer for eligible Qantas flights

    Damn I didn't know I have the double sC offer. After planned flights I only need 100 SC -?90 - for Plat by end June. With my points that should be doable. If my wife books an ASA for me with her points I guess I get the SCs. Melb-SYD-Qld somewhere on JaSa will do it I assume

    Can't sit together with children

    Don't even go there. That would be a bad situation.

    Have You Ever Met A Gorgeous Qantas Flight Attendant?

    Yes, no, no, not sure about using real names though?

    Famous people seen (or even met) whilst flying or lounging

    Is it true that everyone sees celebrities at admirals club LAX? Because I only ever bumped into Dr Edelsten. Admittedly have spent most time in TBIT.

    Can't sit together with children

    I called SQ at length and they sent a message to "seating" which is better than nothing, still it would be reassuring if something concrete were done in advance
