As a pom coming from London, I've been quite impressed with Opal, I think overall its a good system. The implementation is whats let it down. I also think that Sydney public transport is very good, I think the only issue is keeping up with peak demand. In London everyone complained about...

Thanks thats good to know, I've just chased up with Alitalia and submitted my Air Berlin and Etihad Guest Gold cards as well...

Re: Sky team Status Match (through Alitalia) Existing thread: http://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/community/airline-frequent-flyer-programs/alitalia-status-match-69099.html

Also waiting for a status match from QF Gold, will be flying Vietnam Airways to the UK in September on personal travel and think this should get me lounge access and other benefits.

So yes, 24 hours before. Just made a quick call to the helpline and they have swapped the upgrade across immediately. Very easy, thanks for the suggestion, it should have been the first thing I did.

Perhaps I'll give them a call.

So I'm booked on a PER-SYD Fully Flex ticket and submitted a points upgrade (10,000) which went through straight away, then due to a change of plans pushed the itinerary back 2 days, and of course the upgrade has dropped off, however no points have been put back in my account. I'm guessing I...

I used the HSBC lounge perhaps 2 years ago, and it was okay but nothing special and didn't really feel like that much of an escape. I wouldn't have paid for it anyway...

Or how the nanny raises the kids.... In F and maybe J that is....

I think there is a lot more that goes into the profiling of passengers then just the travel history, because a lot of people have unusual travel history because of their work and I personally have done some incredibly strange and bizarre trips and have some unusual stamps in my passports yet...

My kids have flown from a young age in J with various airlines and never had a problem, I agree with the above that I expect them to behave as they would in any other public space and that is to behave. I would however be mightily pissed off a child was problematic and the parent couldn't give a...

No luck booking, oh well.

So I've been using the NAB Qantas Visa/Amex Platinum for the last year, and have been happy with it. However, its almost time for renewal and I think I should change to another card/cards with a new promotion rather then pay the renewal fee for nothing. We spend around $2000 - $3000 a month on...

Would be even nicer if they actually switched off the lights immediately after take off and scrapped any form of formal service on sleeper services.

My SYD-PER or PER-SYD upgrade requests always seem to clear at the 24 hours mark, not sure if that is a magic number for any reason.

Well, i've just gotten rid of the BMW X5 and changed to a Toyota Kluger. As a pom, owning European cars in Europe and the UK was easy, here its just too much hard work. The Kluger, my wife loves it more then the BMW X5.

I've had the airport checkin terminals ask me if I'd like to move to the earlier flight on several occasions, and have asked at the lounge and been transferred without a problem, they didn't seem to see it as an unusual request, but i did ask at the QP.

I may be wrong, but I think they swap the lounge they use depending on which gate the aircraft arrives on, at least thats the impression I was given, with both lounges run by the same operator now.

It's improving, still not amazing, but the move to Terminal 3 is seeing some good changes happening... slowly... Qantas is still using the old Cathay lounge, which is appalling. I don't go to Manila often, but think next time will consider Cathay for various reasons, including avoiding the...

It certainly did :-)
