Why PER-SYD only just over 5 hours? I stand by my point.

If you are on a plane where Y starts in row 4 (a 737) the flight time is not usually long enough to need to use the toilet.

WCMO yesterday was the selfish smoker who booked a room at a non smoking property and was too lazy to go outside onto streetfor a ciggy, instead lighting up in their room, setting off the smoke alarm which then required whole hotel to evacuate. Walking down the firestairs wasn't too hard for...

Noting that reduced earn with partners on QF isn't always a given. AA flights credit to QF at the same rate as QF flights. MH aside, the reduced rate on other partners is generally only on routes where they directly compete with QF, so AY, BA, JL and IB earn into/out of/within Europe...

Work experience kid must be away for the long weekend. DSC for flights taken on Thur and Fri still yet to post.

Im an Android user and have been using Tile without any issues for a couple of years now. Apple users like to disparage anything non Apple but I've not ever had any trouble getting a read on where my Tile tagged bags have been.

Optus satellites provide data coverage for Australia and NZ, Qantas need to think beyond nbn satellites. Domestically I've always found Qantas wifi decent but on flights between SYD and OOL last Thurs and Fri I was struggling to even post to AFF.

Yep not as trendy as SO/ but modern and comfy and much less expensive, plus free chocolate afternoon irrespective of status.

I stayed at the SO/ this time last year. Location is great, can't comment on the lounge as I didn't have access,but if you search this thread you will see room pics. Right now I'm staying basically across the road at the Movenpick which is much cheaper but just as comfortable and rooms are...

There was no wifi (free or otherwise) flying across the ditch on Friday. There is definitely satellite coverage to NZ so not sure why still not available

Ordered a coffee to have with free chocolate hour at Movenpick and forgot to flash my Accor plus card for a discount.

My flight back is a breakfast one, so I hope to not see any salad. Yes but combined with a long weekend 3 night getaway in-between. I was going to be in NZ anyway just took a indirect route. I don't do pure status runs i.e fly in and straight out on same day.

QF145 SYD-AKL today was a choice of Curry Chicken or Lamb something (happily nothing vego). I had the curry, came with a prosciutto topped bean salad (no Neil leaves), stick of cheese and crackers (hidden by the sourdough). No icecream/cake just more koko black chocolate but I was happy that...

I allowed 1hr for what should be a 12min journey (and that was to arrive 1 hour before a domestic departure). I always have a generous buffer, as no issue sitting in the lounge if early. I don't think it's reasonable to allow more than 4 times the usual commute.

He is supposedly worth $2b,and is pretty elderly why skimp on spend when you only have a few years left? You cant take it with you!

I was there ~8:55 to 11:50, my food order was correct but the cappuccino I ordered arrived as a latte Past visits service has been excellent, maybe it's all newbies? That said today's massage in the spa was best one I've had at SYD yet.

Just spotted Gerry Harvey boarding my flight heading to whY.

WCMO today is departure board in lounge says flight is on time and to go to gate, announcement made stating the same. Get to gate and they are announcing delayed arrival of inbound aircraft, still being cleaned and a wait for catering truck to materialise. You"d think QF lounge would have...

But the fool had smoke coming out of car and still entered the tunnel (barely 1km inside), and then instead of taking the immediate exit (the last exit for ages) to get out of the way pulls over creating chaos. Hope he is fined big time. Unfortunately lots of people who drive shouldn't, most...
