Not old, not grumpy Have the same beef. Not just in premium lounges, but even near the boarding gate Have no hesitation in asking someone to keep the conversation down when they are sitting amongst 100 people talking at Pub Volume on the phone (Thanks Stocky, my old friend, for teaching me...

QF567 PIC - "Oops"

I thought so too - the 183 days rule - as that is what was under in my first long spell as an expat, but still spending time in Oz These days I would have no idea, as I haven't been back to Australia in 6 years even for a single visit, and am no longer a resident there for any kind of tax...

Not many details - happened on Saturday?

That's really interesting. Thanks for sharing that

Thanks dajop - noted. makes sense

Cheers OZDUCK. Saw that also. Hopefully someone will chime in with some airfare only costs, lets see! Wonder if there are many Broome AFF'ers?

Does anyone have any current information on the cost of these flights? Can't find anything myself

Its always 5 o'clock somewhere in the world.

Have done it before. If it's in the proper tamper proof duty free bag, then no problem

It did. Got the feedback this morning. Boss arrived early and was through by 01.00. Conxion pick up was supposed to be 02.15 but the counter staff had him on an earlier van in under 10 minutes and he was at his hotel in the Gold Coast by 02.00 He said it was quick, seamless and comfortable...

aaand, flight done

Thanks JohnK, apologies for the cross post. In the end, Silkair staff were helpful and the baggage was checked through from coughet, even thought the onward EK boarding pass couldn't be issued until he landed in SIN (Just got his BP now) Good to know for future if anyone has the same question -...

Boss is flying from coughet via Singapore to Brisbane this week. HKT-SIN is on Silkair, arriving T2 SIN-BNE is on EK, departing T1 As he will will have on checked bag, I'm looking to see if anyone has experience on whether he can thru-check his bag at coughet so that he can stay airside in...

Thanks for all of the info so far, very helpful Noted JohnK on loadings, always good to hear actual anecdotal reports As you said, loading was light when I did the check-in this evening and got a forward window - he can try for an exit row at airport Have booked the Con-x-ion transfer for him...

Sorry for the ignorance - H-CNS Gin Social Bar? Sounds quite the place!

That is a great bit of advice, will check them out. Many thanks for the link and costing - much appreciated

Have booked the boss on a SIN-BNE-SIN business trip with EK in Y for a 4 day conference on the Gold Coast 18-22 April Any feedback on these flights from AFF members who travel this route? EK 432 outbound and 433 for the return leg Would be interested to hear reports on usual loading in Y and...

davidj thanks for posting that link (old post I realise but just saw it after the topic was revived That FT thread started by Pacman3 is hilarious and a reminder that we are not always the "entitled" bunch that some other flyers deem themselves to be :D
