    Vanishing shadows ....

    You've got to absolutely make the parents deal with that bratty child. I would've absolutely lost it at the parents to be honest but hey, I'm not too fussed about awkward flying situations for like 15 hours haha.

    So... what car do you guys drive when not flying?

    The 4 series rear end is definitely polarising. That's why the M3 is such a beautiful car, 4 series front end and 3 series rear! TTS is only in the running due to its performance and virtual dash but the C coupe is a daily car that would be easier to live with. I'm definitely leaning more...

    So... what car do you guys drive when not flying?

    Nice choice! My 328i is a 2012 also. I've been incredibly happy with it since day one so I've had my eye on an F30 LCI as well. But if I get another BMW it'll most likely be a 4 series. As much as I love the 3 and 4, I'm just wanting something different. The next car has got to be a coupe (just...

    So... what car do you guys drive when not flying?

    I'll play along here, I currently drive an F30 BMW 328i sedan. It's been a solid daily driver for the past 3.5 years of ownership but with free servicing ending this year, i'll be changing over very soon.

    QF1 and QF2

    jandj, will you have any lounge access in Dubai? I fly Melbourne to Manchester via Dubai 2-3 times a year and I always break up the trip in Dubai for a few hours minimum. Mainly to stretch out, eat some real food and hang out/nap in the Emirates lounge. I personally just can't stand being on a...

    No-Doz, The Driver's Friend.

    Putting it out there, although I've used No-Doz here and there on drives, it's never had much of an effect on me. I've still had to always limit my drive lengths and take breaks every chance available. This is also true for coffee and energy drinks. I've always relied on the company of the front...

    No-Doz, The Driver's Friend.

    On road trips that I've been a part of, it's always been a rule that the front seat passenger must keep the driver occupied no matter what. So general talks, jokes, d&m's, games, whatever will keep the driver awake and alert.

    Shopping in Germany

    Where in Germany are you headed? Clothes shopping has been slightly cheaper than in OZ. I find value in being able to walk the streets of Hamburg with beer purchased from a service station on your walk to a bar.

    Seat Selection and Online Check In on QF without printer

    If you really wanted to have some form of confirmation, you could potentially OLCI and then PDF print the BP?

    No-Doz, The Driver's Friend.

    I've used No-Doz here and there when I used to be in a touring band but even then, the length of each stint behind the wheel for each of us was like 4-5 hours max. I'm not a fan of No-Doz, energy drinks etc. Espresso for me is more of a pleasure than a stimulant so that does nothing for me on...

    Staying in your seat

    I can't stay seated for more than a couple of hours at a time. I neeeeeed an aisle seat for all travels.

    Parking Scam at MEL

    Unfortunately it'll be more embarassing for the owner of the car capturing every road rage outburst and slip of the tongue. :lol:

    Parking Scam at MEL

    This is the main reason I take a taxi or chauffeur to and from the airport these days. I wonder if there is a possibilty for modern cars with built in navigation to record its position data in the background? I suppose this is a scenario in which if you value your car, invest in cameras, GPS...

    Qantas Platinum debate with Qantas FF team

    OP I'm sure you'll be comped WP for another year based on what you've written. I'll be honest, I've made many mistakes myself in trying to decipher SC earnings with QFF staff over different airlines that should earn, fare classes etc and they have always been super polite in proving me wrong in...

    Qantas Premium Call Centre

    Just thought I'd test out the premium call centre, I called at 11:48am 16/06/2016 and got through in 3 minutes FWIW. I'm a QFF WP.

    "Will anyone please swap so this family can sit together?"

    Well, I clearly didn't expect any one to swap my Y seat with a J seat as I had already swapped my seat with leg room for a normal Y seat to accommodate this families separation. Secondly, there's absolutely no point in speculating why one memeber of said family was flying J and the rest in Y...

    "Will anyone please swap so this family can sit together?"

    So I sit down for my flight today on QF769 MEL to PER in my pre-selected seat 24D only to notice the last passengers in our cabin were 2 kids and their dad. The kids are seated next to me and the dad sat 2 rows behind aisle side. He asks me before take off if we can swap in which I ofcourse...
