    QF/JQ Through Check Experience

    More information in these links: Help and Support | Qantas https://www.jetstar.com/au/en/help/articles/baggage-transfers The key here is anything connecting with Jetstar domestic will never have through check (except possibly Jetstar Japan), but Jetstar international there may be a chance.

    Jayne Hrdlicka to resign as CEO

    She created bad vibes in VA? That said, what of the upper echelons, which may be more where JH may be wanting to headhunt (if that is the idea)?

    A bit of humour

    Speaking of, chickens go bawk bawk bawk. That's all they can say - they can't think outside the bawks. 🙂 Only a chicken would think this is a cheep shot. 😁

    12 hour layover in Changi - which hotel to pick?

    That's incredibly fortunate and kind of them. I have definitely valued the TPR sleeping rooms (probably should count my blessings that I've been able to get one each time I've gone there, including being able to "overnight" in one whilst TPR has been officially closed), but I can't imagine...

    What cheeses me off

    Used to live there - don't I know it! 😅😄 My office at the uni was in a concrete building. No AC, no fans, no ventilation. And my office window was fully facing the sun most of the day. To say I was cooking in summer would be understating it. Sometimes I worked in our break area to escape the...

    12 hour layover in Changi - which hotel to pick?

    You said you had a 9 hour daytime transit. Not sure how much sleep is important to you. Frankly, sometimes the quietest places to go to are some far flung gates (especially in T2), or even some far flung areas on the arrivals floors. Not exactly private (nor set up for working), but so there...

    I suppose your flight dates are rather fixed, otherwise you might be able to invoke the QSuite Guarantee.

    12 hour layover in Changi - which hotel to pick?

    I can confirm that at around 6 am the Jewel is pretty much asleep. They even turn off most of the lights. Nothing really happens until the sun starts to rise and maybe the first few shops with breakfast start to open. The way I'd play it is after disembarking at 0010h, maybe head to the...

    What cheeses me off

    WCMO is hotels that do not have (or have disabled) fans or air conditioners... double whammy if you can't open the windows. "Oh, but the ambient weather is perfectly fine - no need for those." ...the purpose of said machines can be to cool a space, but more importantly IMO it is to move the...

    Qantas Business Class meals & menus

    From the picture, I'm going to guess... roasted beef (slightly rare), herbed/pesto potato slices, feta cheese, olives, capers, pepitas and asparagus or green beans. Sounds like some sort of Greek-ish salad.

    What cheeses me off

    When I moved to Switzerland, I quickly realised there's no such thing as self-raising flour over there (in fact, there isn't any in much of the world). A quick Internet search and an expat forum thankfully revealed it's just regular (plain / all-purpose) flour with baking powder (sold by the...

    Virgin Australia Lounge Adelaide so sad so basic

    Yes precisely, not the whole stockpile. Like we've all picked off and tasted a grape or two at the fruit market. Not taken a whole bunch.

    American Airlines Flagship Discussion

    Are all services on "Flagship routes" always Flagship flights? For example, are all flights between LAX and MIA Flagship flights (offering Flagship Business and Flagship First), or only some of them are? That would imply that just because a route is on the list doesn't mean you get access...

    American Airlines Flagship Discussion

    I guess the list of routes was to help people establish which have Flagship flights on them. Since most of us are seasoned travellers and oneworld Sapphire or Emerald but not in the AAdvantage programme, we're sort of desensitised to the need to worry about which routes we're flying let alone...

    Virgin Australia Business Class - Meals, Menus & Service

    What is it, or what was it meant to be? On first looks, it seems to be fried rice, chicken and bok choy. Not sure if this is one of the vegetarian dishes that can have meat added.

    Qantas' math when calculating points for a flight

    Why not do themselves a favour and just say "Earn up to 100% more points compared to a Bronze member"? Of course, after Jul 2025, that might all change.

    Qantas' math when calculating points for a flight

    I can see where the confusion can arise. Someone may want to tell QF to revise its various pages on the website which advertise the Status Bonus for elite members. For example, on the page https://www.qantas.com/au/en/frequent-flyer/status-and-clubs/status/platinum.html, it says ...which...

    What cheeses me off

    That's a different kettle of fish. Touts in Asia or Africa sometimes can be quite persistent, but on a level they do not impede your movement (more than most of the time). The election people I was talking about get in your face and make it difficult for you to keep moving. The fraudsters in...
