I think that it's a great pity that our first female PM has performed so badly. Speaking as a female, she has never appeared to me to be a leader. Being good at "getting things done" doesn't make someone a leader. As for her "misogny" statement - it was degrading to our sex to hear her...

As I posted in the previous thread: As far as I could see, the women's toilets in the QF departure lounge are squat toilets, which are very difficult to use if you have wonky hips and knees. If mine become worse, then that would stop me from transiting there. A Melbourne friend (who has...

Been away, so just catching up with this thread. Perhaps a little OT, but - transited through DBX 2 weeks ago on QF2, and was more than a little astounded that the only ladies' toilets available in the gate lounge were Asian squat ones. I had no problems with them when I was much younger and...

I received the original offer when it came out. However, as I already had enough flights organised to requalify as SG, I haven't taken it up (although I may duck down to Tassie for a weekend to see family). Hope that QF don't think that I don't appreciate the offer. Last year, used it to...

I agree. The lip balm in my pack WAS empty, just when I needed it.

From bitter experience, I now check that no bills etc are due while I'm away on extended o/s trips and that a credit card isn't due for renewal. Some years ago, almost had my power cut off. I couldn't access electricity company's online "change of info" details because I didn't have the...

Hmmm - "jet flying 2/3rd empty"? Well, I regularly fly SYD to DBO, CFS, TMW and ARM and those flights generally close to full all the time - certainly not 2/3 empty. But then, I wouldn't regard CBR as "regional". One advantage already mentioned is that all QF domestic flights will be in...

I hate getting on and off the buses -walk down stairs carrying luggage, crowd onto the bus (again carrying luggage), then off the bus, stand in a line (often in bad weather) and up the steps, then reversal for arriving into SYD. Oh well, we're regional so who worries about us. Typical...

Re: Where will you be election day (September 14th) I'll be back in Oz, so somewhere in NSW working in a polling booth. The 8am-6pm is the easy part - it's the later part that I dread. In one election in a small country town, we had only a couple of tables, so all the sorting had to be done...

When you do make SG and your account shows as such, then suggest you contact QF in USA and ensure that your status is updated on the PNR.

Good luck when you try to fly US to Oz as not many J Classic Award seats available. Unless of course, you want to fly Y to BNE, then J BNE to SYD. And yes, QF will charge you J points for the privilige. What a rip off.

Heard on BBC that the merger may be going ahead. Did some searching and found following links: American Airlines, U.S. Airways Considering Merger « CBS Chicago The pilots’ union at American Airlines says pilot discord could jeopardize a possible merger (Updated 10:30 p.m.) | Airline Biz Blog

Hmmmm. I wonder what will happen to the bookings already made for post 31 March. There's a big CWA conference being held in Moree 5-9 May with 1000+ (yes, 1000+) women expected in the town, and planes were already heavily booked. I looked at booking flights up and back some time ago, but the...

. Panadol (the pharmacies have no idea what you're talking about - and their databases don't give the equivalent USA name) . Jugs - to make a hot cuppa the Australian way. They think that warm water is OK.

I think that in Muslim countries, how male tourists dress isn't so much of a concern. However, it's how women tourists dress that is of concern.

A few months ago, my sister and her husband also flew Virgin MEL-Bali in Y. She said "never again" (and she does a lot of flying). Can't remember the exact comments, so won't repeat them.

Be aware that you will need to satisfy the Australian quarantine regulations re fruit, food etc at the Brisbane end. Don't do as I did once, when I travelled down from the bush with 2 ripe bananas in my carry on luggaage. Ate said bananas at Sydney and disposed of the skins there, but the...

I've transited both DFW (to Atlanta) and LAX (to BOI) and in neither case has the long flight affected me too much. However, I do get on any long haul plane expecting not to sleep, so stay awake (or doze) most of the way. Also, I don't drink any alcohol or take any sleeping pills. Whilst LAX...

Same deal on QF It doesn't show up on their Business Sale trailer but when I plugged in the dates of March over and late April back, the sale fares display. The cheapest deals use BA x London to BKK, SIN and HKG and other deals show up as well. I had to go via telephone sales (to use up a...
