This exactly. Many 'common' people I know won't even look for J or F availability, and are just happy to redeem points on whatever. Whether it's a combination of limited flexibility, big family, not needing premium cabins or just wanting a bit of fulfillment on getting something for 'free' -...

I have quite a different expectation from QF domestic J to a CX long haul F. Heck even QF international J has decent eggs, not sure if cooked fresh though.

The first delayed flight of the day for the specific aircraft will be stated as weather or maybe crew. All subsequent flights will be 'due to the late inbound arrival of the operating aircraft'.

In regards to the somewhat new hand luggage piece and weight enforcement, there was a survey I received a couple of months back asking for my thoughts. I think I indicated I wasn't too happy with the not very consistent enforcement of rules around weight of bags, and that checked in baggage...

Haven't seen soup in domestic J for a while now. Maybe it's the timing of the flights I catch.

Domestic BNE - SYD. Some sort of smoked salmon salad. Pretty tasty, probably could use less dressing, roasted capsicum and more greens but overall a good dish.

Whenever I've witnessed people trying to board to early, they don't seem to do 'the walk'. They all just stand to the side of the queue in a group.

Sorry, going a bit off topic. However, wasn't the first A332 (VH-EBA) delivered in 2002? It would've been one of the ones that eventually went to Jetstar and had no IFE. If we're talking about when personal IFE screens appeared on QF planes, it'd probably be a Matsushita channel/loop system...

QF43. Spot the difference. Service was a lot faster this time thankfully, maybe because it's a shorter route? Beef was quite a bit more overcooked. I'm now pretty sure the service order has changed on international J. FA's just go from row 1 downwards taking orders now. I know some people...

It's a GIF where the globe spins. The pointer never reaches Australia though.

Apparently I used 900k points this year. Funny that, given my starting balance and my earn would be less then that number. I think the system counts points usage in the number even if you subsequently cancelled the award booking, or if you made a change to an award booking and the points were...

International long haul sorry. Domestic has always been row 1 to 3, yes.

Has the order which the meal orders are taken changed with this service as well? I've recalled for ages that the FA's would dance around the cabin taking orders, I believe based on status or maybe PCV? It seemed more like row by row from my last two flights. I also didn't receive a CSM greeting...

Realistically, what is the difference between current J and PE products and a '2014 standard' one. There hasn't been much significant improvement recently, once the standard of Business Class reached direct aisle access. J has a door, but it's standing neck height only. Bigger, 4K HD screen and...

Got an email two days after.

Made LTG on my flight to Dallas. Though QFF didn't post the SC's for it until a couple of days later, meaning the connecting flight posted first which pushed me over. So maybe it was an AA flight that got me there? No emails, no notification on the app/website for me at all. If I hadn't been...

Alright QF7 had this change in place. Did not feel any faster at all. In fact you're still waiting over 30 mins after the entree is provided for the next step in the service. I can see how the tray might speed things up in the beginning and put less strain on the cabin crew, but so far it...

Red curry beef and rice. Quite tasty actually. Certainly better then the beef curry at modern Asian restaurant I was at last week.

These long routes are probably the least in need of a shortened service. I do quite like the current trayless service though. Despite the length of time needed to serve the dishes, it feels more restaurant-like then other carriers in J. If I'm visualising this correctly, I'm thinking Neils...

I got it too. I've been holding off going to Bangalore because of the perceived flying experience. Old A332 in un-refurbed Y and small IFE screen for 12 hours isn't my idea of pleasant.
