I, fortunately, was warned about that one by my accountant. It ended up being the deciding factor in me rejecting an overseas role.

I fly regularly TSV-PER return, once a month or so. I have the option of PER-CNS-TSV on JQ/QF for the return leg or PER-BNE-TSV QF all the way. I'd get home quicker on the former by about 3 Hrs if the advertised JQ schedule was adhered to. And the flight is heaps cheaper. I have NEVER taken...

There are some very stupid people in this world aren't there.

And then there's the opposite. Things that I don't care about, and I'm sure a vast amount of the population don't either, being shoved down my neck on a daily basis.

Yep, kicking anyone not entitled to the Premium lane out of it and into the normal lane

Just getting onto QF652 to BNE and they're actually enforcing the premium boarding lane . First time I've ever seen it in 5 years

OT but believe it or not I actually had a FA do that to me when I was in an exit row on a 330. The bloke that sat down next to me was last to board and the FA moved my bag back 4 rows to put his in. I then proceeded to tell the FA that it'd be really handy if my bag went back where it belonged...

That may well be true - but what are they locked up for? My guess is not for having consensual sex with their partner. And whilst you think the USA is heading in the direction of fundamentalism, they're a real long way from my definition of it.

The only thing strange about the story to me is why people even take the risk of going to fundamentalist countries.

Outstanding info Cynicor - thanks for your effort

Thanks all. Not entirely sure where we're going to stay yet. There's several options that look good. I'm open to recommendations Cynicor :)

Hi all, I'm looking to go to Khao Lak in May, flying in/out of coughet. I have an option on the return leg to come home from coughet on J* Asia and link to QF at Singapore for the back to Aus leg. Time between J* Asia landing and QF taking off is 70 mins. We'll be HLO - are we pushing our luck...

I've always found the BNE J Dom lounge to be very sub standard, and we'll see how it goes when completed. I rarely go in there, I think the normal lounge is way better and I generally get a knowing smile from the desk staff when I head left when they point right. The only reason to go in there...

I work 170 Hrs every second fortnight and have done for about 30 years. Along with most of the mining industry I'd venture to say. Some even do that 2 out of 3 weeks, or more!!

I dropped from WP to SG and stayed in Emerald City for a booking that I'd made to LHR when WP. I've been bounced out of my preselected Y seats, as a requalified WP, on multiple occasions domestically, often at the gate, for no appreciable reason so it does pay to keep on top of it.

Thanks all.

OK, so I'm coming back from Tahiti to Auckland in September on QF codeshare and then have a few hours wait before getting on an F award EK (QF code) to BNE. How do I check in for the EK ticket? - Do I have to exit and come back in or can I check-in at the QP? I'll be HLO. Is it possible to get...

I always fly QF652 , usually on a Tues but sometime Wed. I can't remember the last time I got a 737, it's always a 330 on Tues or Wed. Other nights may differ though. Every time I see a 737 on either PER-BNE or BNE-PER I'm straight to the J upgrade if I can't take a different flight. 5 hrs...

I was also an Ansett FF, never had any great status with them though. Then I didn't do much flying for about a decade, during which time Ansett folded. I joined QFF pretty much when Ansett folded as I'd long been into the "Get FF points with your credit card". I started doing quite a bit of self...

I'm one of the typical Australian FFs out there who don't live in Melbourne or Sydney. We are there. We don't have Tiger or Scoot But I actually need to get to where I'm going, at the time I want to. That alone would eliminate me from even vaguely considering unreliable cut priced horror...
