    Hong Kong Paid Lounges with Shower Facilities

    I used the Plaza lounge last October. Actually spent about 9 hours there. Excellent, invigorating shower. Easily arranged and I expect they would priorities short stay visitors, especially if you advised them ahead of time. Would need to weigh up if a shower alone is worth $50.

    Credit card surcharge refunds for Mac users

    I have avoided paying by POLI in the past because it seemed so convoluted. Thought I would take the plunge tonight, using my IPad and discovered the credit card fee refund option. I thought it was jolly decent of VA. The only thing better would have been for the Blues to win tonight!

    Looking for HKG Hotels with fab outdoor pools

    East has an outdoor pool of a decent size. I think it had a bit of a view but nothing great. Requesting higher level rooms with an harbour view is most worthwhile. Would gladly stay there again.

    Checked Baggage Pooling and Carry On Size Enforcement

    LOL that would be so hilarious to see. You would need a sense of humour though.

    Is Travel Insurance worth it for small claims

    Have you ever tried claiming on insurance that covers playing a sport e.g what's included in your teams's registration? They make it close to impossible to make a claim for anything less than many hundreds of dollars. Flashware, I think you need to weigh up whether the £ and time cost is worn it.

    TID Claim

    I just want to praise Travel Insurance Direct for their handling of a claim for my family. I normally only take out travel insurance for domestic holidays to get the benefit of rental car excess coverage. This is typically a cheaper way than doing it through the car rental company. At...

    QF825 met by ambulances

    Yeah I suppose so. I just remember a cruise line got in trouble/bad press for not maintaining the crime scene of a drug overdose/death.

    QF825 met by ambulances

    Thanks for the meaningful and the humorous replies. I wonder if the delay in leaving the aircraft was to officially rule people out as suspects in the crime scene. Would QF have contingency plans in place\training for staff in such disruptions\crime scene preservation?

    QF825 met by ambulances

    Anyone know why QF825 DRW-BNE was met by 5 ambulances on the tarmac and the airport fire fighters this afternoon? Pax seemed to be held on board for about 15 minutes before leaving via the aero bridge. Paramedics used the stairs at the back of the plane. I had to leave to catch my flight.

    Air Australia (From 17/2 suspended ops)

    I hope those posters earlier heralding the "national carrier's" generosity realize QF isn't offering free flights to those stranded and in all likelihood is just using unutilised capacity for some $$$ so a win-win for all. Interesting approach to match originally paid fare.

    Looking after the WP during service issues

    Mmmmmm. DST stuffs things up a bit I think. QF2307 is scheduled into BNE today at 1855. It should have sufficient MCT for QF557 at 1925, even if it meant a speedy walk through security and the terminal. Thumbs down to QF big time today.

    Looking after the WP during service issues

    Hi Daniel, Considering you were advised at about 3pm, couldn't they have got you on QF2367 or QF2307? It is rare'ish for them to be fully booked.

    Change or cancel a QF Red-E deal?

    Hi, Is it financially any different to cancel a booking than it is to just change it using the original route but more suitable dates now that a meeting has been rescheduled? Booking changes: Your original fare may be used as credit towards a new fare of equal or higher value, provided the new...
