I've never understood the desire for priority boarding at all, much less to be seen using it. My preference is always to stay in the lounge rather than line up. If you have to line up anywhere, do it at the end of the gangway.

If they have enough bandwidth to handle streaming live sport, this is going to make a huge difference to weekend flights.

Cheers that's what I was hoping! I think I'll lock in the first one then.

I'm going to keep it open-ended and add flights later like I did last time (unless that's no longer possible?) I already know when I have to be back so just trying to book the first flight as early as I can get away with under the terms. I know the total trip has to be less than a year - just...

Hey what's the exact maximum number of days these can take? My planned itinerary currently is 364 days from Sydney to Sydney but can't recall if the requirement was just within one year or some smaller period like 355 days.

Re: 2016 US Presidential Election It's obviously not working very well. There's an increasing argument for those becoming stricter. Unfortunately the majority of the world's press has moved from taking what is said and adding their own interpretation and spin (traditional journalism), to...

It doesn't go away either. I closed my HSBC accounts in 2012 after which I could no longer log in online. Then closed them via phone again 4 separate times in 2013 and one final time in 2014. All 6 times they assured me the accounts were closed and I'd receive no further correspondence...

Re: 2016 US Presidential Election That's another good article on the subject. I guess we always knew there were a million rogues on the internet doing stuff like this. The surprise has been the extent of it in almost all the major news publications in the US. I have no doubt it's similar here...

Re: 2016 US Presidential Election Speaking of fake news, I received this article in my inbox today: 16 Fake News Stories Reporters Have Run Since Trump Won If nothing else positive comes from this term, surely exposing what's going on there is a monumental win for society. It's unfortunate...

We got 2 tickets from Rio to New York one way in J for cheaper than the Y fare last year. Interestingly was only available on the US version of the site.

I'd be keen to do this too as my Etihad status is expiring soon. But presumably we'd need a European passport of some description for it to work?

I'm happy enough with this if it means I can start flying US domestic J on 280K awards. It's a better reflection of the class travelled. Seems to be just fixing an anomaly that was advantageous for gaining status but painful for awards.

I intend to not care. As I said, why all bathrooms aren't unisex remains a mystery. That in itself is a hyper-sensitivity issue. Much of the world is past it. But where we are stuck with the segregated bathrooms, for the tiny minority of cases where actual gender is unclear, I reckon they can...

2 hours after it disappeared? Does that mean they know where it is?

However they like.

Times like this you regret leaving the popcorn at home!

I'm surprised this is an issue for anyone. The "cough rule" should sort it. Yes - mens. No - womens. Although frankly I couldn't care less if they are all unisex. That's what they are at work, and in much of the world. It's something that is only possible to complain about when you have...

Live updates here: EgyptAir flight MS804 disappears from radar between Paris and Cairo – live updates | World news | The Guardian

Aussie down 4-5 cents against the US in the last few days, more or less mirrored against the rest of the basket (78-73 US, 86-79 Yen, 68-64 Euro, 54-51 Pound, 1.12-1.07 Kiwi, etc). This time started by a slightly lower than expected inflation figure, triggering a rate cut, then everyone trying...

From memory, you scan the passport in the kiosk and it pulls up your flights? I'm not 100% as I haven't done it in a while (usually either have checked bags so use business counter or lounge access so go there) but I haven't tried to remember a booking reference or printed out a flight...
