The biggest problem I had with transporting a cat via air freight (same flight as me), was finding a taxi from the airport that didn't mind me taking the cat, even though it was in a cage?!

Shame I missed it the second time, a few bottles into the 12 I bought, and I'm really enjoying it. Would buy again!

Vaguely related to this thread, a few months back I was flying QF J from NRT to BNE. Due to the late incoming Jetstar flight (don't ask, I'm still fuming), I was very late to check in, about 35 minutes before scheduled departure. The check in agent was confused by my pre-selected seats, 2 window...

Hi JB, This interests me greatly. I remember watching Air Crash Investigation showing the BA 777 Crash at LHR (BA38), which praised the captain's actions of retracting the flaps, allowing the plane to fly further and clear the runway obstacles. The reasoning in the episode was that flaps...

Time to start Cab-pooling!

In the case of a failure like this, is it a matter of assessing the situation and responding (i.e. observing this behaviour, then applying the appropriate control to counter it)? Or does it require knowledge of what will happen in advance to allow pre-emptive controls and thus avoiding the...

For such a diversion, would the amount of fuel added in Sydney just be enough to cover the additional take off and landing, and then divert back to Sydney?

The Brisbane business lounge seems to go over capacity in the mornings (standing room only), last time I was there, I was tempted to turn left to see how the commoners lived in the QP.

You won't have any issues with buying at Syd Intl and transferring to domestic terminal to PER from a security perspective - as long as it fits in your carry on allowance.

I don't mind the E-jets (quicker loading/unloading, 2 x 2 in Y), but it's a huge shame the cabin wall is flexible. Nothing like a 6am flight that I want to sleep on, only to have a 5 year old constantly kicking the wall, making it bend for me in the seat in front!

I would agree usually, where I would usually select myself a good seat, and obsessively check to make sure I'm in the best available seat. On this occasion, it was (I think, a couple of years ago now), SQ279 SIN-ADL on an A333, where there were barely any seats available for selection in the...

Also if you're frequently outside of the QF lounge network (at least, the places where QP membership gets you access), consider the alternative of buying yourself a few drinks and some food at the airport. Quite often you will be able to get better food than what the lounge will provide, and if...

OWE will get access to the Diamond Premier lounge at HND domestic. Food is very limited, some beverages available (I seem to remember a bottle of the Yamazaki, and a beer machine), although I was there early morning. Showers were nice, and there's a 'quiet room' with massage chairs (3 or 4 in...

When flying Y with SQ, I was personally paged at the gate holding area and requested to change seat by the ground staff to facilitate a couple sitting together. I guess they checked and saw that I was travelling solo. Went from one indiscriminate window seat to another, so did oblige without any...

J NRT-BNE is dinner and breakfast. Sorry, can't help with Y.

Getting booked on Jetstar as part of a Qantas int-J booking, and not having any status benefits or interlining, and having to use LCC terminals. Did come quite close to missing the int J connection due to GK being 1.5 hours late.

Hi all, Can anyone advise if QF WP flying J from NRT to BNE has access to the new Emirates lounge at Narita? Open to suggestions as to which lounge to settle in, given i only have about 1.5 hours.

Thanks defurax, very quick turnaround! I have a revenue J ticket on QF25, looks like its not a full cabin yet. Unfortunately only Y on JL307, with no prospects!

Could someone please post the loadings for: QF25 (SYD - HND) 26/1/16 JAL307 (HND - cough) 27/1/16 Thanks very much!

The status will update on your account after a few days. Then it will show on your boarding pass, which will get you all the benefits of gold (when flying with Qantas). I've found some international lounges still want to see the physical card, which may complicate things.
