    QF cough about cabin bags

    I've seen so many row 4 clowns trying to push (hard) an expanded bag wheeled bag into overhead storage. I want to see them be asked to check in the bag as I'm waiting behind them. Then there is the person who asks for help for their bag and when I do, I comment on the 6 bricks they have packed...

    What's your Uber experience?

    MIght be for next time. I've seen massive surge pricing at the BNE international airport in the last few months. Like double the price. Talking to a uber driver, he says it is used to get cars to the airport but resets after 5 mins.

    What's your Uber experience?

    For the 3rd time in recent weeks, early morning flight booked a 5a pickup on the app. At 4:45a no one allocated. It is becoming a pain. Its a $70 fare too. Cancelled the booking and picked a new booking. Car that is 20 mins away. I don't think it is worth pre-booking ATM

    Virgin Australia Discover Gold (Status Match)

    I hope they start looking at more than 2 rows of business soon. I'm actually enjoying the Economy-X seats. And not rushing to the beginning of the priority line to get overhead space for the bag.

    I actually think I'll have 400SC before the years end... I think that dyed in the wool QF peeps are looking to change for various reasons, and this is cheap marketing. QF service, price, network & timings aren't retaining customers. Personally, I've looking to utilise SQ more and this was my...

    Slightly off topic, with the new SQ rule about guests needing to be on the same flight, does that apply to VA Gold member and their guest who may be on a different VA or SQ flight? Does the guest policy follow the VA rules or the SQ rules in this instance?

    SQ KrisFlyer lounge BNE

    I was talking to the kitchen staff the other week. He has been taking the fresh croissants that weren't eaten in the mornings and makes bread & butter pudding with them for the evenings. Delish. While it is a sparkling wine, Mumm is making it with NZ grapes. Not a bad. I tried several glasses...

    Locked out of change to honors account

    Hi Team, My honors account has 2 email addresses attached to it. Even though the preferred email is my personal gmail, the MFA codes are going to my old work address. I can't change card, claim or buy points, etc. Hilton tell me to ring the verification team but they aren't help me and say just...

    Farewell QFF

    I actually got a QFF survey this morning in email. 150 pts for registering before Nov 20 & a chance to win 700k points. So do they want my data for market purposes or just a survey answer which can be ignored? I highly doubt they will change anything based on my answers nor make my experiences...

    Farewell QFF

    I too am not exclusively QF anymore... What is interesting is that the rivers of QF advertising gold, means that there is a fear of losing this revenue if the news article doesn't read like a Qantas PR piece. What happens when non-advertising driven organisations publish? Hence the media...

    Duty Free in Singapore Transit.

    DF in Oz is a rip off because there is one only vendor per major airport. No competition. The airports get them to pay a higher rent on the promise of a captative market. And believe me you are paying a non-WET price but the margin makes it look more expensive than retail. I'm a four pillars gin...
