I also do not believe this to be the case. I once boarded a Dash-8 to find someone sat in one my of seats, and the crew moved them along giving them both back to me :p As an aside, I have some photos from old status runs I did. The only giveaway that you have an extra seat is EXST printed on...

The issue really comes down to the fact that comfort seats only remove the passenger taxes component, not the seat cost component. On a business class seat I imagine the saving would be extraordinarily small because of this. Plus, other than the reason below, comfort seats were designed as a way...

OK I'll ask, what do you get at FoundersCard Elite...? :p I also read that the Qantas discount is 25% from the USA to AU, but 15% in the other direction, though not sure if this is accurate.

The answer is yes, it can be done, and no it doesn't double the cost as the extra seat does not have the same passenger taxes applied to it as the main one (as there's only one passenger). I am proof that it can be done, having once used comfort seats to launch me to Platinum and help me along...

I am also unlikely to hit it again, but knew that one day I would need to clip my own wings and focus on home life, so I've been psyching myself up for a while to lose it. Might have to do a jaunt to SIN and back before my year ends just to enjoy the F lounge(s) a final time.

Yes, '16. They asked if I was a collector, and I sheepishly asked back if owning one makes me that :p Technically two now.

There's also a magnum available if you phone, and they said watch this space for August regarding museum.

By the way, the 2019 Rod & Spur has arrived in the cellar door (and online).

ISTR if you then achieve it on your own you get to put the comp retain back in your pocket for another year, or so anecdotal evidence said.

JH reckons the '07 is drink by this year; the '08 later this decade, but the '12 is by far the stand out in what you picked. Of course, what does he know ;)

You remind me of another user who often made strange remarks about wine. Do you happen to know @Mynameismynameis?

Take out a subscription to James Halliday/Wine Companion? The quote for the 2014 vintage suggests it's up there!

When I booked, stood at the VA service desk, $350 red-e-deal. By the time I left the lounge only Savers were available. By the time I got to the hotel only evening flights were available. Then the text later that night after I'd gone to bed. Between a flight a whole 24 hours later on VA and the...

Last night I was stuck in Sydney because I was visiting a friend who had flown in from the US, and because they were loyal to United (and 1K), they insisted we travel back on Virgin Australia. My status with them is zero. The wild weather predictably caused chaos and unfortunately, our flight...

I don’t believe we have a philosophy forum, but your question could touch on so many hazardous topics. What went wrong? War, religion, famine, over-population… capitalism I think takes a back seat to that. They’re all older than capitalism, perhaps 🤔

Very tempting @Buzzard but I think wrong timing in my life – that and I’ve visited twice this year already! Plus my allocations are close to zero haha 😂 Actually opened this thread tonight because I spotted this in a bar tonight…

This is a bit of a blast from the past. To me, much like you back then, time doesn't cost me a lot, but I always found it to take far too much time to change from train to bus to domestic transfer bus. And like you, I gave up on drinking myself silly in the lounge. I'm not near a train line...

Despite @JohnK posting after you, he did send me a PM before you (at 9:48) – I then told him to at least reply to the thread so there was a paper trail. Sorry!

If you have to result to name calling to get a point across... It's not hard to say his name, or is this a children's playground? I'm sure there are many reasons to get new blood in the role, but what do you think the next CEO is going to do differently? Give everyone pay rises across the...

As the title suggests, I have one of these to give away from a recent booking I have made. Only requirements I have beyond being first in to ask for it is to have been a member for at least a week with at least 5 posts to you name. Provided you meet that requirement I'll PM you with the code...
