No Justinf you are not selfish at all. In fact you are much more polite than I have become in recent years after dealing with such people. If the woman was too big for an exit row to be of use to other pax in an emergency, she should not have been there. Together with your polite asking to...

If the place is spelled coughET why do people raise their eyebrows when I mention the place?

I second Nebo Rd which is the main road into Mackay from the south and near the airport. There are dozens of places. Just look for one that has a few cars parked in the car ports to show people are staying there. (My parents were in the Motel business on the Gold Coast for many years and it...

Funny Pictures at WalMart Photos says it all. The scary thing is that much of it looks like what can be seen in any shopping centre or street in Australia as well. I think I'll migrate.

Have been waiting for a year now for a promised compensation voucher from QF. An email 11 months ago enquiring about the voucher resulted in a terse email replying it had been sent, so there and get off my back! Is the voucher QF travel related? Are the vouchers made to a particular name or...

I made a similar quote recently and decided to join AFF after QF was no longer seen as a perfect and faultless holy cow with many jumping in to defend it. A ten minute visit every few weeks was enough. As for delays, if there's a security delay I'm more than happy to leave the plane with my...

I've noticed this more in China and HKG.

I once found a good fare to Europe on Bestflights but had issues with something or other. Knowing they were then at least owned by the same parent company, I went to Harvey Travel. Not only were they unwilling to match or beat the price or routing I was berated for daring to shop around and...

Over the last year I fly QF because OZ, Asiana don't fly to BNE so I need to connect in SYD. Otherwise I'm willing to fly QF to SYD for a MH flight if I can't get a connection from BNE. On most domestic flight's I'm now happy on DJ. It costs nothing to change a frequent flyer scheme and often...

LCCs don't have the monopoly on bogans. On a recent hour in the SYD J lounge I was reminded of what some people see as a family day out at the local supermarket. Screaming unruly kids, loud conversations, people who think mobile phones are connected by string so need shouting, grabbing food...

I cancelled a QF classic award as well as a JASA. I cancelled by phone. In both cases, points were returned to my account in a day or two as were my CC charges. They were also in a hurry to retain 5 000 points for each booking.

Hi John. Thanks for your input. I'm in two minds. One to check out views like this every day or one to put up with the old farts running the building. The alternative is to sell up. I'm considering it seriously. The treasurer who was an accountant to a pharaoh way back then, had spent...

Good luck getting anything meaningful from them. Promises will be made and ignored. Try telling them you are a QF shareholder. It may wake a few of them up.

Obviously that was what was on special or Woolworths or whatever frequent spender partner they have that week.

I live in a high rise beachfront apartment. It's beautiful! Views anyone would just love. Nicely renovated outside and apartments have been nicely done up as well. Only two apartments per floor. Anyone under 50 is clearly in the minority. The only time I get to meet the other inhabitants is...

The word 'enhancements' especially from QF media usually has a foreboding connotation. With so many more eligible frequent flyers on a flight, as opposed to Woolworths shoppers, doesn't this mean the upgrade lottery just became even more difficult to attain? Or even more difficult to fathom...

21st May 2011. Aircraft entered service operating QF608 Melbourne - Brisbane. The aircraft is configured 12J/156Y and is the second QANTAS Boeing 737-800 to be delivered with new Recaro Business Class seats and in flight entertainment throughout.14th May 2011. Aircraft began delivery flight...

Absolute garbage. It's on the QF site so let them wear it and they need to be told to get it right. Refuse the fees and stand your ground firmly. Ask for a supervisor if they can find one and manage to wake one up. If they can't wake one tell them you have all day if needed. Ensure you ask...

Call 13 11 31. Explain the situation slowly and tell them what you expect. Then when the question of paying FF points for booking or rebooking comes up, remind them that the site is telling you one thing while hopefully the call centre op is telling you another. Best luck and let us know how...

I remember having to traverse T4 at LHR (I think) which has/or had a smoking area in the middle of the terminal. No walls, just all seated together. The smell within 50 metres was disgusting as was the yellow/brown colours of the walls in the area. As mentioned above having to be seated beside...
