Aw man - how come this never happens to ME?! See: Flight attendant denies sex with Fiennes - Travel - smh.com.au

Work - we have over 300 offices all around the country, all of which need to be visited 2-3 times a year.

Thanks Serfty - appreciate the quick response. I'm booked to come home on the Friday QF580 flight (which is now showing a 'Request Upgrade' button next to it on my online booking thingy) but I will hold off on the upgrade as I may catch the midnight (direct) flight to Canberra on Thursday...

Thanks, as always, for the helpful advice everyone. As it stands, I've managed to get an upgrade to J class (10,000 pts) on QF481 from Melbourne next Monday night. I was hoping to go ex-Syd, but my travel agent said there were no 'upgradable' seats available! Same story for the return...

I doubt QC would check the ages of your obviously young children. I'm sticking by my original advice - I reckon that if they look quiet and well-behaved, you won't have a problem. In my experience, 4.5 and 80 year olds don't drink much or cause that much of a fracas, so really, I doubt you'd...

Lizzy, It does have a big element of chance, but I would try the old-fashioned way and try your luck at the lounge's front desk. Given that both you and your husband are QC members, I don't think it would be pushing your luck to try and ask (nicely) for your kids and parents to be let in...

tuapekastar, I hope that's the case! Basically, my employer will meet cost of fully flexible economy class ticket - I was hoping to use my FF points to upgrade to business class. Can anyone tell me if that upgrade can be done in advance, or whether I can only do it 'on departure' (which I...

Hi all, Hope everyone is well, and had a enjoyable Chrissy and New Years! Just a quick question - I'm travelling to Perth next week (ex-Cbr) and have the option to go via Cbr (737-800) or via Sydney or Melbourne on one of the big old 747-300s (QF583 or 481). Having not done any intl...

NM (and others) - what about access to the QC during stopovers/re-fuelling? I'm off to the UK in May (2007) and will be flying QF (or whatever cheapest OneWorld ticket I can find), and a good part of that decision was made on the basis that I'd be able to drop in to the Bangkok QC to freshen up...

A late post for this thread, but last year (Sep 05 - Sep 06), I managed just over 780 (all economy flights) and hit 'Gold' status. :D Not much to boast about against the likes of others around here, but I thought it was worth a few cold ones, considering that I only started flying in late...

Hi y'all, I've been watching this post for a while now, and thought I'd throw in my two cents worth - or at least my own experiences over the past 12 months. I've been FF Silver for most of the year, and finally made FF Gold a month back (was quite proud of that - the old timers here will...

Hi all, Hope everyone is well. Just a quick and easy question for y'all - has anyone else had difficulties with the Virgin Blue site today (Thursday 24.08) or is it just me? I've been trying to book a couple of trips since lunchtime, but keep coming up with the same error message telling me...

Oops - so you're telling me it's a no-no to using a (compact) digital to take piccies at take-off and landing? As an ex-photographer, I take HEAPS of them - never been told off, but being a polite person, I would do so without question if asked (by FA or fellow passenger). Interestingly...

Wow, as usual, a terrific response, and question answered. Just to make it clear, there is absolutely no chance I'll be getting the opportunity to find an answer out for myself in the near future. I've got to fly Cbr-Per on Sunday in Economy, and even the thought of that is giving me the...

Hi all - hope everyone is well! A quick, easy and probably somewhat trivial question - if you're lucky enough to be travelling J class international, and have access to a nice flat bed, what happens if you're fast asleep and the flight encounters moderate-severe turbulence? Do FAs wake you...

Just a quick update on my new-fangled, high-falootin bike box - it was accepted by QF without any dramas, although it just scraped in under the max weight at 31.6kgs. Seeing the bike only weighs 11.5kgs, that's a hell of a box, eh? In future, I think I'll go back to using the standard...

Thanks for taking the time to search through Flyertalk, NM. I'm much obliged. Just for the benefit of others who may be reading this, and thinking of places they can take their bike (via plane), there's actually an earlier post on this very subject - see...

Thanks NM - appreciated. I don't expect to have any problems - the bloke who lent it to me used it for his 32kg downhill bike flying DJ, so I'm hoping QF will be okay. Just wanted to make doubly sure - this is a personal trip (not business!) so I don't want any stuff-ups!

Hi folks, Just wondering if anyone has had any experience with taking the large, professional plastic bike cases on QF domestic flights? I normally pack my bike up in a standard cardboard box - available free of charge from any local bike shop, or $10 from QF - but have just been loaned a...

G'day MetroAir, I am planning to fly out of Brissie on Wednesday morning on the 0835 flight to Cbr. If that suits, I would be more than happy to get you in. I have PM'd you with more details. Newflyer
