    Open Jaw Flights on Qantas?

    Codeshare? I don't want to get into the whole BF discussion but if they can quote you a more personalised travel agent probably can too. Matrix provides codes that you can give to a TA. Not that I usually use any TA but they may be worth it here.

    Priority boarding on QF domestic - what is the story?

    What's even better is when you are travelling for business in J at LAX, flying for 48 hours in 5 days and you are sworn at and abused by the pax in the priority queue who shouldn't even be there when you try to join it.

    Special Meals on QF local/ international Flights

    A parent has a dietary aberration and has definitely been receiving meals first in economy (way before others) for as long as I remember, at least 30 years. Long enough that I would never think twice about it happening.

    Watch out insurance 'disaster'

    Due to a sudden and severe illness of a relative (thankfully improving) I had to cancel a ten day trip next week. No problem, I paid on an ANZ Gold FF card. Uh actually a big problem- it has NO travel insurance. I have always checked before booking and my gold cards have always covered it. Worse...

    WOW Select Trolley Run

    Now that is a great story! But how do you get JASA out and pay to fly back? One way tickets aren't cheap. Or do you then buy a return from destination to home and back again to destination ?

    Special Meals on QF local/ international Flights

    Asian vegetarian seems to be the best option generally in my opinion especially in nonpremium cabins. At the moment I am Hindu when flying SQ which surprised the OH.

    The totally off-topic thread

    Life's too short. I would rather go back to my old job cleaning pan rooms in a hospital, at least I kept the place spotless.

    QFi Flight loads

    If you want cheap airfares to get tourists out here it really doesn't make any difference whether we pay billions in subsidies or we let the Singaporean or Dubai governments spend the money for us.

    QFi Flight loads

    It could be argued that we, especially people for whom travel is expensive and difficult to afford, should just enjoy the Gulf's largesse and have cheap flights at their expense rather than use the tax paid by average Australians to compete with foreign Governments. They are harming themselves...

    My first non-commercial flight

    A spectacular flight in a 4 seater, Cessna, in the middle East. We flew right over Nazareth, the Galilee, and directly over the ruins of the ancient synagogue where Jesus preached. Once-in-a-lifetime experience.

    The main advantage is for a complex trip at the end of next year. I can't find any current info on the current points cost of a DONE4 though or whether and how much a OW explorer can be done on points?

    PED's on/off during various flight stages - Why?

    It does, which is why I didn't think much of it. But the instructions seem to me to mean totally powering off, meaning the MBA goes thru the power down/up sequence. Whether that actually makes any difference I don't know. Everything is stored on a flash drive. Of course since I gave up my...

    PED's on/off during various flight stages - Why?

    The csm on the 738 today told me that they had radio interference from a "device on standby" 2 days ago. Although it sounded from the description that it was a mobile phone interfering with a radio (while on) in the way most of us have probably experienced before. I didn't tell them that I...

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

    He looked in great condition and of course as cheery as ever! Mind you he performs pretty well with a bunch of fractured ribs and pneumothorax too.

    ...when double SCs post. MEL-BNE-MEL, with twenty minutes between getting out of the gate and boarding.. Gotta say, excellent friendly and attentive service by all. Very helpful ground staff who got me to wait while confirming a no-show was no-showing for the earlier flight. And my original...

    QF Platinum Desk

    I have had flawless service all the way from NB to SG actually. Even with no status I got thru in about 30 seconds! Maybe I was just very lucky.

    A380 Really Nervous: Any Advice

    Jeez I wouldn't be hard on yourself for using sedation. I have to do it myself (not for anxiety reasons, I'd rather be on a plane with no phone and with a book than anywhere else) and I have slept through entire Lax-Mel flights except 20 minutes at beginning and end! Not a bad way to pass the time.
