A big benefit is that your travel dates can be very flexible and booked far in advance, which is not always possible when work travel may pop-up at short notice. Example, I may be a heretic here in AFF as I'm not able to book the current DSC offer - since I don't know what country I will be...

The Byron cookie (with smarties) was prev on sale in the old menu, $3-$4 IIRC. It's not bad. VA FAs have occasionally offered this to me complimentary, presumably as a WP in row 3... and the cookie was days from being out of "best before" date.

Checking u are paying attention?

For me it helps to think of Qualify and Retain as separate calculations. Upgrading to the next tier is based on a rolling year - all SC earned in the past 365 days. Once you qualify for a new tier, this date becomes the start point for Retain, giving 365 days to earn the (lower) number of SC...

May I ask if those above who have had a good experience with Covermore, was this an Annual or trip specific policy?

Thanks for the update. I hope this is wrong (that the big announcement was only about a paid menu change). VA Dom Y catering is abysmal, literally any change would be an improvement- even removing free food and doing a decent paid menu would be preferable. FAs seem put out when someone orders...

Seems a good deal getting 40% off. Is it worth you ordering just $50 from HF multiple times? or will delivery fees eat the amex savings?

Wow, I'd really like to see that more often.

MrMax you're caught a glimpse of the RAN's new DDG (guided missile destroyer) prob on its first visit to its new home port at Garden Island, there to be comissioned in the near future as HMAS Brisbane (I think).

Some help needed to ID this USAF? tanker? at BNE today. Sorry for poor photos, taken from the Airtrain on a phone.

I'm waving from behind that scaffolding ... room in the adjoining Mercure tower. If you partook in the exec lounge breakfast we may have practically crossed paths. Hope MrsDrron enjoyed the special night out.

Yes, as one I agree but BD has covered why we aren't. None of these comments are directed at you Orange btw. There is a balance. What both QF and QF-L want are net promoters boosting the company(s) brand(s). Happy flyers, toaster shoppers, golfers, etc. are part of that. The measure is whether...

QF Loyalty is what it's called as a revenue stream for the company, not what it does for for pax. The exec in charge of late, LG, has done a good job of making QF money through the QF Loyalty program. Her KPI is not happy/loyal QFFs.

Ads in the QP. "QF456 the scheduled 1:25 to Woopwoop is boarding. And customers, now is a great time to buy a Toyota. Oh! What feeling." *old school radio announcer voice required

ABC linked article shows how "close" the broken pieces of ballistic missile fell to Japan.... ...but the text reads 1180km east of cape Erimo, which is...

Add my +1 to being seriously pi55ed if this was presented to me as a fait accompli. This hits close to home since im on this sector so often (this afternoon in fact, but VA). Remind me again why my QFF SC have been exactly 1200 for over 5 months (60 days to requal then avoid QF and get VA WP...

I know you jest but I have mentioned here previously that JQ sells tix ex-CBR, despite no JQ metal coming near the capital. Read the fine print and you will see your first sector is from Canberra-Jolimont, the bus depot. In one sense the OP was moved onto the JQ SYD-CBR "flight" !

F.C., not much better on QF for that sector im afraid. I fly both VA and QF often enough to know it's a race to the bottom. Swap dry biscuits for micro (33% size) granola bar on QF/VA with a micro muffin or pack of soy crisps on VA/QF. It really doesn't matter they aren't competing.

Ok, now i HAVE to ask but will buy you a beer first when our paths cross!

As VA WP i have had about 50% shadows in row 3 and half full flights with a full row 3. However if 3 is looking full i select exit row instead and close to 100% shadow there. Not sure what this row 4/5 is you speak of? Makes sense for something to exist between rows 3 and 13 !
