Pilot of the Final Air Berlin Transatlantic Flight is in Hot Water for His Landing Maneuver - View from the Wing via @garyleff AB7001 from Miami on the final TransAtlantic for the airline.

@G00r (post #69) I am sympathetic as that would be highly frustrating. Hope it all gets sorted.

What an enhancement !

That family can't have been impressed by your helpful suggestion :confused: I thought the airline would treat a pram as checked luggage and substitute an airline (or airport) supplied pram after the security barrier (ie. pre-cleared).

I had this recently, except it was a bank where I do have an account. After some further checking it turned out to be genuine. I was dismayed at the initial contact from the fraud department calling from an unknown number, asking for personal information without giving me anything to prove who...

This... ...on a MEL-CBR flight at lunchtime. Yes, it is exactly what it looks like! ingredients: Apples, oxidizer.

Some mail client programs will "learn" what you don't want if you mark these messages as "junk". Mine does with a single click. I divert junk to a folder for a final review (sender & subject only) and can delete all of them with a single "empty trash" command. Very efficient. Using a "white...

The Daily Mail's initial report said it hit the catering truck as it was "taking off"... slightly different circumstances than pushing back! Media reporting is just so bad on anything aviation related.

Rather than reinvent the wheel my October 2017 stay at Pullman Albert Park mirrored the one in May. However I'd make particular mention of the Exec Lounge staff for friendly service. Lobby staff at checkin less so and the restaurant is a bit of a shemozzle; no one appears to actually be in...

Understood. I was adding to your two (good) points but also linking that suggestion (QF card as ID) back to mandatory photo ID.

This must be frustrating @N860CR when you have to do this so often. I was scanned every time I travelled out of Australia to the Middle East to do my bit to protect us from those who want to cause us harm. TL/DR A "trusted traveller" program could help. ie. pre-enrolled background checking...

3. Not every pax is a member of a loyalty program, shocking as that is to AFF members.

While we are on Priority boarding, until recently it did actually seem to work most of the time. Although I'd rather board late, the battle for overhead space had forced me to start boarding earlier and priority made that easier. However across six sectors this week past there was no priority...

@marco i had the same initial reaction as @kermatu - the way the email was worded "just earn a further 14000 SC or 60 nights to retain platinum" when we had already requalified. So it wasn't just delayed status points figures used, it was zero actual info giving the entirely wrong impression.

The ultimate benefit of the Velocity WP tier goes to Qantas elites. If Velocity didn't exist QF would treat its elites like vermin. Competition keeps em on their toes.

Theory goes that the lack of ID checks (actually checking rather than the current ability to ask for ID but rarely do) will make it that much harder for somrone to travel anonymously, using a false name or someone else's identity. The underlying assumption is that criminals are most of that...

Received same. Just shoddy email marketing, it kinda looked like they intended to give an indication of the status points or nights remaining to retain, but just c*cked it up. This is about normal for what I expect from Le Club these days.

Watched a pax exit the CBR VA chairman's lounge equivalent (name?) and happened to walk behind her all the way onboard (no priority boarding in CBR). Pax places her enormous carry-on in the overhead, filling almost an entire J-class bin. What caught my eye was the "QF Club" bag tags dangling...

Same property or different ones? Either way Le Club would receive the details of all credits so it would be interesting to see if they automatically cross check. Let us know how you go.

I had a slightly similar entry to the EU in the days before phones roaming was very common. Mrs OzEire breezed through on an Irish passport while I was stuck in the Non-EU line. Border officer asked for evidence of hotels and departure flights but they were with +1. The border guard must have...
