    Which first class?

    SQ suites are a no brainer, but what makes the LH product so good?

    Which first class?

    I am leaning towards a mix of EK/QF at this stage. As i get to a) shower. b) try out two products. Although SQ is looking better and better. I can then use points to try out EY first at a later date.

    Which first class?

    I am with velocity. Already maintained platinum for this review period so no real worry there. Going for the best rather than worrying about FF points/status.

    Which first class?

    You sure did, totally forgot about it! was a great post. Was this before or after they added the mattress to the seat?

    Which first class?

    Ah yes! Forgot about that well put together post. By the sounds of things, better to pay for EK/QF then use points for a trip in EY at a later date!

    Which first class?

    I have to admit the shower is a huge draw card at this stage. As a virgin WP i am a little disappointed that EY was not even mentioned in this thread.

    Which first class?

    Wow! thanks for an amazingly detailed reply. Seems the ultimate way to do it would be to fly EK there and EY back :)

    Which first class?

    That is actually an idea that had not crossed my mind. Was also hoping for a comparison on things like SQ suites vs QF etc.

    Which first class?

    If money was no object. Europe was your destination. Which first class cabin would you travel in and why? Looking to do that once in a lifetime trip later this year and the choices are all so hard. So getting some feedback from some real world experiences seems to be the best way forward!

    On board recognition - who gets any?

    As a WP, this has been my experience as well. Few in Y and then Y+ on the return. Y was great, CSM introduced him self. Offered me drinks, food etc. Y+ CSM introduced him self, noticed i was on a bulk head and tried to move me, commented at least the seat next to you is free (until another cabin...

    LAX Arrival - Express Path/Priority Immigration?

    No express path to talk of. Even when flying J. If you have a tight connection do not rely on the staff being helpful. Have been in that place from anywhere from 40 mins to 3 hours. It is never pleasant.

    VA seat selection on outbound transpac VA and shadow

    Had this happen a few times of late with j tickets on the syd-lax route. A quick call and all is usually ok. If you want a shadow best to ask at checkin for them to block to seat next to you if not a full load.

    Group SYD-LAX-SFO Booking: VA or QF?

    I have flown that route quiet a bit a handful of times with VA never with QF. The flights are mostly on time. The in flight entertainment is not as extensive as qantas but still will be more than enough to tide you over for the flight. The timing of the LAX->SYD flight means you are flying...

    The (non financial) costs of travel and how you mitigate them

    I have yet to find a solution for the eating unhealthy. Usually trips, especially OS ends up with me meeting with friends/co workers/managers etc which involves boozy lunches and dinners. I try to counter this with a range of exercises i can do in a hotel room or the smallest of hotel gyms. This...

    Delta lounges on an "expired" card

    Yeah. It was nothing special. Instead of the usual cheese and ranch dip they had some bagels and waffle like things. No toaster for the bagels which i found very strange.

    Delta lounges on an "expired" card

    First lounge(LAX) was no problem. Didn't even check my card just the status written on the boarding pass. Was the first run of their new updated lounge food, they had bagels and some pre made sandwiches.
