Thanks GC340, looks like a goer.

Well this is a bit of a worry for me. I'll be making my first trip to HK in 30 years come October, on my way to Toronto with CX J with Mrs BD. We'll be overnighting before the flight. It's a 1030 AM flight and , by that time, I'll be P1/OWE. On the way back we've got the 7ish PM QF98 J back to...

Why not? It'd make a nice change for NQ to do something that makes SEQ unhappy rather than vice-versa :p

If Phillip Adams was a member of my local darts club I’d toss my membership

Which is why I’ll never set foot in the place again. I had my fill of the wankers 25 years ago when there. Lovely country largely spoiled completely by anything with a uniform not involved with the military. Even mall cops were over the top.

The BNE “first” lounge was a broom closet and a complete pigsty. The new lounge, even with “everyone” in it, is a vast improvement IMO. The AKL first lounge is only marginally better than the old BNE first lounge. Any improvement on it would be wonderful. Stick your head in the EK lounge in AKL...

Heading off in October, I’ve had success so far with CX but not QR, IB or AY. I must admit I haven’t tried super hard yet but I’ve had a quick look around the respective airlines’ sites and should be OK. Qatar’s site basically says “Ring us” Trip report - maybe! Not the most conscientious...

Yeah, took a few goes but here it is HKG - YYZ on CX 777 YYZ - HEL via LHR on BA. 350/320 HEL - LHR via Oslo, AY and BA 319/320 LHR - ZUR via MAD, BA and IB 320 ZUR - ATH via LHR, BA 320 ATH - HKG via DOH, QR. 320, 777 qsuites We’ll fly to HKG return to position before and after under our own...

Yep, I know - but didn’t know the correct terminology

NRL version QF WP. Looks very fit still. They weren’t together, Hodgo left before Haydos.

So I've just managed to get myself and Mrs BD onto 2 x 280000 J awards via the QF Multi city tool. I can select seats for all the BA flights but I have QR, AY, CX and IB legs that I can't do it with via QF. Can I select if I go to the individual airline websites using QF's PNR? If not then...

Matt Hayden and Justin Hodges in Bris J lounge this morning

It only needs to come to Supervisory level. Performance management in the first instance is an issue for the immediate Supervisor. My own background as a Supervisor has been massively helpful to me when, as a customer, I’ve experienced less than adequate treatment at the hands of service...

Well, I think I’ve qualified for the most spectacular self inflicted jinx. Less than 8 hours after writing this QF have managed to leave all 4 pieces of our luggage in Auckland. They’ve thankfully found it, and I must say that the young fella - Chris - at QF lost baggage in BNE INT was...

True re expectations, which I suppose was my point. My wife absolutely loathes Emirates, based on one flight where she believes she was treated poorly. I was in the seat next to her and saw nothing. Was she wrong? Who cares? It’s only her opinion and experience that matters to her. Did it...

Well, I’ve just blown an hour of my life reading all of that and I’ve come to the conclusion that I am clearly a very unique individual in that I’ve never experienced any of the horrific circumstances frequently inflicted by QF on their customers. It could be that I walk around blind and...

I’m actually in Auckland J Lounge right now, on the way home. My BP has the express lane invite printed on it, first time I’ve ever seen that. Mind you I don’t often do the paper BP thing.

I just got a Quinella in the BNE J Dom. Qld State of Origin legend Kevin Walters and Aussie rock n roll legend Richard Clapton. My first quinella!

Thanks Serfty - Will definitely be HLO and OLCI

One of the runs I need to do to get me over LTG will be a Bris-AKL-Bris J. My question, and I'm sure many people have done this one. I can get there, land and then come back 3 Hrs later. Do I need to exit and re-enter customs or can I just sit in the lounge and wait for the return leg?
