I experienced something similar when flying MH. They seem to leave the seatbelt sign on for a long time, to the point where it gets ignored. After a good few hours of it being on with little action, I had to ask the cabin crew (who were freely walking around) whether I could safely use the...

re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread One benefit of the Qantas flights is the ability to request a J seat to be released if you're Platinum (not sure about other tiers).

re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread gcmap.com is showing that as 40,217 miles. I believe the max is 35,000. One option may be to drop the LHR-WAW surface sector (included in total miles), and fly return from LHR > WAW as a side trip, or maybe stop in zanzibar...

re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread I believe the going rate for changes is 3500 points per passenger, plus a service fee of 8000 per passenger if not travelling in business or first. No changes are permitted after your first flight, so lock it all in before...

For what it's worth, I find row 2 on a 737 far better than row 1 due to the fact you can stretch your legs under the seat in front. That's with only being 6'2 with short legs!

re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread Would also like to add that the QF booking engine did throw up a few quirks, in particular, not showing J availability for ADL > SFO (via Syd) on the monthly display. When I clicked through on the date, it let me book ADL >...

re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread Just booked the following 2 x J awards for Apr-May 2017: ADL-SYD-SFO (QF) SFO - JFK (AA) JFK - LIM (LA) LIM - SCL (LA) (on to EZE as surface sector) EZE - LHR (BA) MAN - ADL (QR) Taxes of ~$1900 per passenger. Great range...

Do Immigration get uptight about having in stamps but no out stamps?

Your dad's status won't be much use to you, as the upgrade request will be at your level. Given that your chances of a points upgrade is unlikely (timing of request, status level), and that you're willing to financially contribute, perhaps a Bid Now upgrade may be your best option...

Re: Best Status Run Options - A quick overview! [not the discussion thread] Depending on how much you want to mess about with short sectors (I'd rather do something more useful), I'd be tempted to do something like: BNE-CHC (via Syd - F Lounge!) CHC-BNE Total ~$667 (round up to avoid things)...

re: Discussion/Q&A on Best QF Status Run Options ADL-CGK (Jakarta) can be had for approx $2150 in J via Syd. SC earn of 320*2 = 640, netting $3.35/SC. I just dislike Jakarta too much to spend that much to retain Platinum!

Applied and approved, enjoy.

It sounds like people loved the Brothers & Sisters Cab Sauv, but has anyone tried the Sauvignon Blanc?

Snap, I won't post a picture, because it's a clone of Steady's. I had a small sample fresh out of the bottle, and my first thoughts echo the fruity and acidic comments. I can see the more I drink of this, I think I will really start to like it (requiring time to open up in a decanter is a sure...

The way Qantas like to reject these kind of things (with no recourse or amendments allowed), I'd want more than 1000 FF points to take the risk.

Might have to Think Outside the Circle for your bit o'heaven on this one?

I don't particularly like giving TripIt access to my emails, so I simply created a new Gmail account and linked it to that instead. I can then forward itineraries that I want captured to the new email address.

Thanks for being honest Wozza, a good reminder that personal tastes differ. This has motivated me to crack open a bottle on Saturday to sample! Perhaps a case of hiding these bottles out of sight for a while to let them mature.

Is it immoral to return perfectly good bottles back to VM to make room for this :cool:? I'm already overflowing.
