    This was when making a new booking on the web (PC).

    Qantas Increases Legroom Charges; Changes to Row 4 selection on most 737 flights

    Just went to make a booking and noticed that the seat selection UI has changed. This feels more like VAs booking screen, making the cost of each seat more obvious. Complete speculation but I wonder if this is a precursor to more seat selection fees in general.

    Cancelled flights & waivers due to Cyclone Alfred

    I'm currently scheduled for BNE to MEL Friday morning with VA (lite). I must be in Melbourne Friday for an unprotected international flight that evening. My plan is to fly down Wednesday morning instead, and not touch my Friday booking. I suspect VA will either cancel the flight or have a...

    Qantas Upgrades - Successes or Failures (post results)

    Emailed the FF team about this yesterday, got a response this morning and points back in my account this afternoon. Separately success at T-5 for BNE-SYD on Monday 5:20am and T-1 for SYD to BNE tonight at 8pm. CSM was very energetic and offered a bottle of Koonunga to take home.

    Qantas Upgrades - Successes or Failures (post results)

    We were in the lounge, then got put on standby for a later flight (I think the next with availability) and was told by the desk that there was no J left to BNE. Back in row 25 😬 but seated together and would rather get home earlier than later, or the next day, in J. All due to QF619 diverting...

    Oh absolutely, we have a trip to Scandinavia at the end of the year in J and F. Might be a bit mad though.

    Qantas Upgrades - Successes or Failures (post results)

    Success at T-7 for MEL to BNE for 2 this afternoon. Bit surprised given it was showing J1 yesterday but will take the win. Wouldn't normally upgrade on a 738 but it's our last flight together before bubs is due.

    Current Qantas First Lounge Menu (SYD/MEL) and relevant topics

    Some plane spotting will certainly be on the cards! Not a bad idea, QF37 departs at 5pm and my connecting flight from BNE arrives around 10am in the morning so could sample both menus.

    Current Qantas First Lounge Menu (SYD/MEL) and relevant topics

    A mate and I will be in the MEL Flounge in 2 weeks - flying whY on QF. Any tips or suggestions? We'll be aiming to spend about 4hrs there - will ask for a spa treatment when we arrive in the hope we can get one before departure.

    Fond Words for the Crew on QF38 on Monday 10 February 2025

    I submitted some positive feedback to this after a great flight - I got a really nice reply a few days later so I can assure that they pass these messages on.

    Virgin Australia Business Class - Meals, Menus & Service

    Had a chicken and mushroom pasta on the 9:30pm from Sydney to Brisbane. Was presented quite well and very tasty. No photo as my camera is shocking.

    Amex "I'm going to cancel my card" - bonus points given thread.

    Called to cancel today - didn't state outright that I wanted to cancel, but that I was considering it. The agent asked if a cheaper card would be preferred but that was all, then proceeded to go through the cancellation. Didn't ask why I wanted to cancel and certainly didn't offer any retention...

    Business Class - MEL -> SIN

    There's no guarantee that any given flight will have J CR available. You might have more luck in the ~2 weeks prior to departure, I've found Emirates tend to have availability closer to departure these days.

    Double Status Credits promotion (Book by 27/2/24, travel 28/2/24-14/2/25)

    The international red tail sale ends tonight, but there is now a Queensland sale that ends on the 12th Feb, so I wouldn't expect anything until after that..
