I flew HEL-JFK and it had the new J seats and I was not a fan as very hard to get up from sleeping position. Fine for a day flight inferior to all other lay flat J seats ive tried for overnight. I'd prefer QF source more aircraft with their usual J seats than more of the Finnair seats that are...

I flew AKL-BNE last Sunday HLO and used the new digital arrival card via QF app. Completing the declaration super simple, but BNE arrivals could do with an express entry for those with the QR and nothing to declare. Was 4th off plane, but due to others detouring to toilets or duty free, I was...

Not that I've ever personally seen in SYD Dom J, although others swear they have. Always seem to be more scrambled eggs and insipid chicken sausage whenever Im there at breaky.

Im really enjoying Dexter Original Sin on Paramount + casting is excellent and so many easter eggs for those familiar with the original series. On my flight to Auckland I started The Jetty, must finish it as its on BritBox and after my $10 for 3 months trial is up i will be cancelling as only...

Given there is still a whole month of summer left and menus also usually lag official change of by a couple of weeks doubt these are available.

well Auslotto is $100m this week and Powerball $60m

I'd like to see the avo toast with optional bacon on top. If there isn't bacon it isn't breakfast. Also would prefer to have the bacon and egg panini with a poached or fried egg, rather than imitation powered scrambled eggs.

I think that is an unfair assumption. They may not have comprehensive insurance but a sensible one would at least have medical only cover. When I flew overseas as a student in whY on sale fares I still always had travel insurance.

@bPeteb great TR. I am headed to South Korea in April so have taken note of some of the recommendations as will also be in Seoul, Jeju and Busan (plus a few other places).

An extra spontaneous trip to BNE last year meant that my previously booked DSC trip to AKL last weekend triggered my Loyalty bonus, which would have otherwise been triggered in May allowing me to claim the SCs in Aug in next FF year. Now I will have to claim them this year when they arent...

The only places I went that took cash were the supermarket and museum and no surcharge there either. Noting I used the Macquarie debit card and not a credit card. The orphan NZ$20 note from a work trip in 2015 remains unused in the travel wallet.

There were reports upthread of excessive surcharges for using debit card in NZ. Spent last weekend in Auckland, didn't use any cash and was not hit up with a surcharge anywhere I paid by card (most places were card only venues).

I dont fly JQ but on my travels last weekend I was passed several times by JQ staff and thought their new uniforms were quite nice. I never understood the addition of pink to the current QF uniforms (pink clashes with Red). I hope for the staffs sake that the new styles offer multiple...

Ive never had housekeeping try to enter room when DND sign is on the door, maybe Im just lucky. Im ok with the trend of not having room serviced everyday (as long as noted upfront) BUT they need to at least offer option to put bins outside door and have them emptied. Not having bed made or...

CMO is poorly built and managed IT systems that result in customer inconvenience. Right now all Aussies banks are revalidating customers identity and collecting extra data re how one earns their money to comply with updates to Anti Money laundering legislation. Fine if not annoying as ID was...

The direct flights LHR/CDG - PER offer advantage of an evening/night arrival time for those on the Australian east coast; whereas the outbound PER-LHR/PER arrive crazy early which is a pain as you cant check into hotels for hours after your arrival. I've done LHR-PER-SYD and would consider...

IME on 737 flights J is always served front to back, generally starting with 1A (although have seen it start in 1F). Whereas on international flights with larger planes (789 or A380) status usually comes into play.

Well I selected 2C when I booked 11 months earlier, it was a paid seat not an award. But seat was changed at boarding. If row 3 is all that is available I book a different flight given MEL-SYD flights are every 15-30mins. Most annoying cause pax who displaced me was only PS, they should have...

For first time ever I'm going to lodge a complain about tonight's flight service as similar situation. Too much chatter with row 1 and then a further delay caused by whinging kids in J not liking any options so a need for FA to go and grab pies from whY meant row 3 got about 5 mins to eat. Trays...

The cost cutting must have also extended to lack of cleaners, was also a broken sink.
