medhead, I think you have just become the undisputed champion of the understatement :D

Almost as bad is coming in on the inbound flight when there's a tailwind - There have been several times I have greeted the "desk dragon"* when she opens the QP doors at 5am, after spending 30-45 minutes swearing at the e-Passport machine that's not working. * Desk Dragon should be construed...

The J seats on the LAN A340 are pretty good now that they've done a refit to their "Premium Business" model. It was pretty ordinary a couple of years back before the refit.

Thanks, Dave - your advice is much appreciated.

A question for those with "dual citizenship" - i.e. AA and QF. Does the AA lounge access issue affect you if you are flying on an AA ticket (with miles accruing to AA), but can flash a QF WP / OWE card? How about if flying on a QF ticket with the miles accruing to AA? I'm interested in...

Oh, its a retinal scanner - I must have misheard you :lol::lol:

I've been looking into RTW options with SkyTeam, and I found that they refer to a Round the World Pass on the SkyTeam website. Reading the associated verbiage, it looks like you need to book it via one of the member airlines. A check of the Delta, Korean, and Air France sites refers me back to...

Re: im sorry Qantas but you really have gone downhill... why? I loved Qantas for so l That happens a lot :oops:

Re: im sorry Qantas but you really have gone downhill... why? I loved Qantas for so l I think that you will find that the ability to upgrade on request is the same for Qantas as for other airlines - i.e. subject to availability, and in order of priority determined by FF status.

Thanks - some very interesting reading here.

Uh-oh - didn't see that on the site. It processed my order to a PO Box, so I guess I'll be getting an email from them soon.

Slightly OT, but I have an annual policy with "Insurance 4 Car Hire", which, in theory, covers the same excess exclusion that the car rental companies offer with their "full" insurance package. I got caught out a couple of years back in Ireland renting from Europcar, and the extra insurance...

Just ordered a set - I hope they're as good as you say.

Mine just arrived today. I might even get to use it in PER in the next month or so - but nothing booked so far.

Basically, the airline has a duty of care to the UM. Failing to put him on the correct flight would be a breach of that duty. The resultant "mental distress" to the child and / or parent would be the basis on which damages would be assessed. Probably a better chance of success in US than if...

A question for the medically aware here - is there any research that indicates genetic factors as increasing the risk of DVT? If so, what are the risk indicators?

Its been a while since I was in Canberra, but does anyone know if the Charcoal is still a going concern? Many good steaks and bottles of red had there!!

Almost certainly* Siegfried * Unless I get shanghaied back to SCL

Firstly, (based on the facts supplied in the article) I can't believe that QF settled this out of court. Second, given that the "incident" occurred in Aus, this strikes me as one of the most egregious examples of forum shopping that I have seen - the only way that I can see this having any...

About 3 years ago (can't recall the exact date) I noticed that water was p*ssing (not dripping) down the side of the cabin - turned out that some idiot had put a 2l water bottle in the overhead with the lid not properly screwed.
