    New A330's

    This is the seat plan that I get for my flight from SYD > PER on 8th June. The return one was the same. From what I can see, these appear to the the new A330 on both occasions. I'm thinking this, the aisle seats on the left hand side as C seats. According to the link in the previous post...

    Lounge WiFi Password Protected

    Saw this in the Brisbane lounge yesterday. As I was only in the lounge for a short while, I didn't go to find out the password. I didn't notice it displayed on the wall or any screens. I'm guessing you'll have to go to the desk to find it out.

    The most fortuitus mistake made by an airline or loyalty program to benefit you?

    I got a free upgrade to business class once from PER to SYD. I didn't realise it until quite some time later. I had rang up Velocity to use points to upgrade the flexi fare to J. The booking was updated, but the points never left my account. It's only when I did another upgrade one other time...

    Change booking class V to SC & Point earning fare?

    Loads of patience was indeed required. Got it changed over there to M class for all SQ sectors. They quoted me around $700 odd, but I don't know how much of that if fare difference or fees. It was ages ago since I made the original booking so I don't recall what the difference between discount...

    30000 bonus points - Foxtel

    Just called them, and was on the phone for ages, getting transferred from pillar to post. They acknowledge that they have honoured the offer before for existing customers, but the rules have changed now and they are no longer able to honour it. However, they still do it for new customers. He...

    Change booking class V to SC & Point earning fare?

    I don't. Is this something I can find out easily from the confirmation email or logging into my online booking? I just know it is a discount economy fare. EDIT: Just called them and the fella told me that I could change one leg to M Class (Flexi Saver), and the journey back to W Class (Also...

    SC Run - BNE > CNS > BNE?

    Or no lounge at all in my case, as I only have DJ lounge access. ;)

    New A330's

    I have a trip planned for the Queen's Birthday weekend over to Perth ex-Sydney, and made sure that they were A330 flights. It's a semi Status Run, going to see relatives over there, and just booked flexi and used the half price points upgrade to J class. Flights are DJ569 ex-SYD on 8th June, and...

    737-700

    Would there not be big difference in the leg room? I've never sat in row 3 in either aircraft, but there does seem to be a lot of room in row 3 in the 737-800 with K class. In the 737-700, it looks to me like the leg room would be the same as any other standard row on the plane. (I'm guessing...

    SC Run - BNE > CNS > BNE?

    Nice one! I must do this one later in the year, especially since I missed the $299 Melbourne flights that were on offer last week. Hopefully there will be double SCs announced again sometime soon, since I never got the email the last time. I am just a couple of weeks away from Gold. Hoping that...

    Change booking class V to SC & Point earning fare?

    Hi folks, A while back I booked a flight from BNE>SIN>LHR>DUB>LHR>SIN>PER, but booked it before I read all the fare rules and booking redemtion rates... big mistake! I called up to find out my booking class and was advised that it was V. Sadly the V class does not attract any points or SCs on...

    J service in Y Class

    Maybe I should have asked for 4B!The occupants in question were two very good looking girls. A seat between them would have been great! I'm not one to share two armrests , but it would have been alright in this case! Might have got J class service too! :-)

    J service in Y Class

    Better not give away any information about my flying habits, or I might get ridiculed! ;-)

    J service in Y Class

    Thanks for clarifying. I just thought it was an interesting observation, worthy of discussion on this forum. If I wanted J class service, I'd have booked J class. Every week people around me eat flexi meals and it doesn't bother me.

    J service in Y Class

    This, my friends is why I started this thread. I'm enjoying the feedback. This is a great forum by the way. Hearing different people's points of view is good. I think I made my stance clear in an earlier post. I didn't complain about the customer service. I'm happy in the knowledge of...

    J service in Y Class

    For the record, I wasn't upset about it. For me it was just an observation, and unusual one at that. I just thought it must have been some special occasion or something like that. That's how it looked to me at the time. Just thought I'd throw it out here to get some discussion on it. I do see...

    J service in Y Class

    This is true. I knew I should have asked them when I saw them in the airport afterwards.. Maybe they post on this forum and will come and tell us all. :cool:

    J service in Y Class

    The plane in question was a refurb, so the assumptions in the previous post are indeed correct. :) If the people in question were friends of the FA or staff travelling, one would have thought that they would have been seated in the J cabin, so that the other people in the front of the Y cabin...

    SC Run - BNE > CNS > BNE?

    That actually does look very good. Might pop down to Melbourne to see my mates there on the weekend of my birthday in July. Just need to wait to see if I'll still be working in Sydney or not, as SYD-MEL-SYD wouldn't be anywhere near as viable as a Status run, unless I just let work book my...

    SC Run - BNE > CNS > BNE?

    Hi folks, I am thinking about doing a Status Credit run from Brisbane to Cairns and back on J Class. For the number of Status Credits earned, this seems like a viable option? 120 SCs and the overall fare is less than $1k. And the fact that I've never been to Cairns makes this more attractive...
