In MEL F and QF29 to HKG looks to be delayed at least an hour

Good to see it’s still a thing, I might have hope yet. Enjoy.

How often do RPT into SYD come up against the curfew? I know lots of airlines operate in but wondering how often per day or week considerations and ATC conversations happen about trying to expedite clearances, rush passengers to get away in time etc.

While I'm happy ADL-heavy pax are getting a J lounge, it's astounding domestic SYD J isn't getting a refresh. It's almost as though it's QF's retort when accused of being SYD-centric.

I totally missed that point :oops: Must be bumper loads

Assuming international, they’re processed and notified a lot closer. From the website:

Either it’s not a thing any more, not proactively offered or only offered if they think you’re close? I doubt they’re concerned about too many status holders or liabilities of points balances.

Probably nothing reasonable right? A shadow isn’t a right or a paid service (it’s not a Neighbour Free seat)so the FAs would give short shrift.

I have a bunch of status runs upcoming - for science, will collate each experience and report back.

I can’t remember reading if travelling groups on the same PNR will automatically get the priority of the highest status pax? And if you’re travelling with someone in a different group and different PNR, you’ll either have to board separately or at the time of the lowest priority?

No they do not.

IME they've gone back to boarding priority first, without the strange/silly simultaneous general boarding too. Good to see it's returned to how it's used to be, and quite effective for the most part.

Yes, I wish I had better reasons but it’s always been status runs. I try to think of a witty reply in case they comment on it, something like “Darn need to go back, forgot my toothbrush” or “Too warm here” (runs are often to Qld)

aka (or even in addition to!) a “tray charge”

I wonder if room service is a loss leader for hotels (despite the fact they charge something like $29 for a sandwich) and just have a bare minimum service to cater for the odd occasion when someone arriving on the red eye needs a feed - maybe they can’t be bothered making it easy and attractive.

I think you’re better off asking the CSM on board to swap.

Don’t recall this happening in many dozens of flights in the golden triangle, when I’m usually in row 4 (and often just about the only person with a vacant seat next to me). I choose the seat as soon as it’s ticketed too.

Not looking good at all… looked at a few Qld airports and indeed most or all their services are cancelled :(

That red looks like it's threatening to slosh out mid-turbulence...

Nice one. If instead you’d gotten the crew offside and gone OTT, they might have given the upgrade to someone else!
