    Why won't PAX turn off their mobiles when instructed

    What an cough! That is just taking the urine! He is why the rest of us can't officially listen to music, watch videos and read eBooks!

    What's the longest time you've spent in an Airport or Airport lounge

    Had to overnight once in Golden Wing lounge Melbourne when airport closed due to lightning strike and all hotels full due to Australian Open...

    Why won't PAX turn off their mobiles when instructed

    Please stop this and the inflight phones - flights are my escape form the constant connection todays society demands... the excuse "Sorry, was in the air" will now fall into the same troglodite cavern as "Can you telex this please"...

    Why can't I get row 3 anymore?

    Personally am usually row 3 either C or D, every so often am surprised to be in 7 or 9, but found this to be rare. Asked the checkin when this happens and was told there were a lot of Plat and Gold on the flight, so think it just comes down to the luck of the draw and the increase in DJ's...

    Loud in the lounge

    Simple: Walk up right next to her with anyone else in the Lounge that is equally ready to introduce her digestive tract to her iPhone and start discussing (very loudly) some intricate and messy surgical procedure: prostate exam or similar woudl do & be extra graphic - even lean in to her "space"...
