Hopefully it'll be open by mine - in July.

I believe that is the consensus. At least it seems to be the official line. I spoke to staff at the check-in counter some weeks back and was given the same news.

Going by the pictures I can't see there would be too much scope to adjust the roof. Certainly the ducting can easily be relocated but those I beams don't look like they are moving in a hurry. I imagine there will be windows full length on the apron side and overlooking the foodcourt to keep a...

In the past UA have been very ordinary at best. I've had some interesting experiences, once exceptionally bad customer service (as in none or very poor) - probably 30% of flights seem to have some "technical issue" that has us holding on the ground for some period - weather delays and once even...

News to me - I saw no mattress nor was I offered any. But all academic - Qantas had their chance.

Can't really understand why this is an issue. J is J and has a toilet. Y is Y and has two toilets. Apart from emergencies or other extenuating circumstance the rules should be obeyed. J in J and Y in Y. FA has authority backed by law - lawful directions must be adhered to. End of story. Have a...

Flew twice last year with VA long haul in J. Product is not too bad, a little inconsistent but none the less a good offering. Lounge in LA was woeful.

Agreed - I was thinking more about the situation when one is awfully close to status and a couple of domestic "deal" flights would see you over the line. Doing it in one hop with two seats seems more appealing time wise. Not sure I would want to be in Y all the way to London unless it was from...

I like this idea - I am wondering how do you go about purchasing two seats. Can it be done on line or is it a matter of calling the relevant airline office?

Both flights were on the same PNR - I don't understand why it is either but did not question it. I just imagined I'd be able to go to the lounge and get the boarding pass for the next sector. Remember I do not fly Qantas very often so I do not know what is normal, with other airlines it has been...

Is there any official line from Virgin on the OOL lounge - anyone got any insider info ?

I remember when Brisbane was little more than an old WWII hangar and there certainly were no aerobridges there then. And Perth well it too has only relatively recently come to terms with more modern airport concepts. Lot's of airports around Europe with no aerobridges or aircraft parking out on...

Just in response to last couple of posts. Small things - yes, and I agree they are - but and there is a "but", it was F and there is a handsome premium paid for the "small" things. e.g. Travelled F on Swiss Bangkok to Zurich a couple of months back. Escorted from Check-in - through customs /...

First I'll start by saying the only thing that was of standard was the F lounge at Melbourne. Check-in - asked if I could borrow a pen, noting there was no-one behind me, so that I could complete the departure card. Response - "NO" - there are pens in the customs hall - of course they don't work...

I personally fly *A and not Qantas unless I must. Qantas is way to inconsistent for my liking and with their constant "enhancements" to the frequent flyer programs there is little to like. That said I am currently in Europe, took a flight to Heathrow from Melbourne via Hong Kong in Qantas First...

I guess it is good for Status Runs if nothing else. A little OT - I lived in Brisbane for over 20 years and I visited the coast less than half a dozen times. So I'm not likely to disagree. But in fairness it is a great place to take the kids - I now have a 4 year old and for him the theme parks...

Anytime is a good time to have a lounge at OOL - the place is nothing more than a junk food outlet for bogans.

I had issues with fuel a few times with AVIS - twice in Melbourne and once in Auckland. Car in Auckland was not full when I picked it up - took a photo of fuel guage and staff were OK to sort that out. In Melbourne similar deal and both times staff were OK with it and credited me the fuel. Once...

I am booking a car in Frankfurt for two days. I went onto the local Europcar site and got a quote. $237.82AUD. I then logged in with Exec status number and expected fresh quote for same to be discounted and to my surprise it was same amount. I then went to Lufthansa site (am Senator with...

Many years back I was on a flight Brisbane - Cairns with Ansett. It was delayed and I elected to jump on a flight via Hamilton Island. Flight was full to Hamilton Island but the Hamilton Island to Cairns sector was me and the crew. A great flight, got to ride up in the coughpit in the jump seat...
