    Article: I Nearly Missed My Flight And Forgot How to Navigate an Airport

    Same, and for a new airport, there often is a new lounge to relax in! I also try to arrive earlier at airports that I haven't passed through in a while or research and refresh my memory of the terminal layout, connecting transport locations etc, especially if the trip scheduling is tight, with...

    Sydney Airport- A National Disgrace

    Know the feeling, have had some close calls last year barely making the second last or last Skybus service heading into town when flying those late afternoon PER-MEL flights. Really? I remember at launch the service was only two hourly and fare not much different from the AirTrain which is more...

    Article: How Vodafone’s $5 Global Roaming Compares to Optus & Telstra

    I remember more than 5 or so years ago Telstra used to include international roaming in some higher end postpaid plans, with unlimited calls/texts and a monthly data allowance. Was great value for long/ frequent Int. trips. Wish they brought back plans with such inclusions, paying $10 a day per...

    Sydney Airport- A National Disgrace

    Agreed, those touts are especially prevalent in Int. arrivals, what a terrible first impression for tourists. MEL T2 is absolutely disgusting, all that’s missing are the black lights 🤮 At least PER and BNE have them, better than the current MEL sitch. Miss the 24 hour Skybus services, when will...

    Choice Fares - No more free changes > 14 days [Bookings from 1st Sep]

    No doubt those bean counters have been at it, what a shame was nice whilst it lasted I guess

    Intoxicated and aggressive Business Class Passenger - JETSTAR

    The bane of reclining seats continue… this time only jerkier, less nutgate and more winegate. But in all seriousness the behaviour of the gent 2C towards the wife is incredibly childish and unwarranted, who does he think he is? Martha from Married at First Sight? Methinks he spilled it over...

    Unknown catering on MH from 1 Sep onwards (caterer "transition")

    Agreed, what a freakin' joke! Reminds me of the VA Fantastic noodles saga, but that was almost understandable given the airline was under administration. No excuses for MH, this fiasco wouldn't fly at SQ!

    14hr transit in Hong Kong

    Yes you can leave Yes you can leave even after passing transit security, have done this pre Covid. I usually approach the Cathay service desk on level 6 in the east hall near the exit from E1/E2 transit security and ask to leave. Ground staff usually escort you down to arrivals immigration if...

    Methinks there are a lot of people in this world that have an ax to grind with QF, for so many reasons

    Qatar denied extra capacity into Australia

    As many have said, the power of the CL seem to know no bounds! Once glance at Catherine King's boarding pass (she was behind me in the queue boarding for a recent flight) says it all. Should've thanked her for getting QR to bring the A380s down under!

    Qantas Domestic Lounges from 15/06/23 Guests Must be Travelling on Qantas/Partner Airline

    Yeah it can get same same, but this benefit allowed for a ritual that will be dearly missed, it was practically our family Sunday dinner! The parking never bothered us, baggage can keep spinning round, right’ round on the carousel.. it’s always somewhere there when we go down, when we go down...

    Qantas Domestic Lounges from 15/06/23 Guests Must be Travelling on Qantas/Partner Airline

    That‘s what expense accounts are for right? 😂 I guess I‘ve been blessed with relatively quick and easy PT access to the airports I spend the most time with family and friends.

    Qantas Domestic Lounges from 15/06/23 Guests Must be Travelling on Qantas/Partner Airline

    Am planning to do so. I could understand if they were to restrict this benefit during peak hours when lounges are fairly crowded for other members comfort. But the vast majority of my flights depart in off-peak times when the lounges are not crowded, so find it very disappointing.

    Qantas Domestic Lounges from 15/06/23 Guests Must be Travelling on Qantas/Partner Airline

    I’m actually gutted. I regularly guest my family and friends into the lounges who are usually not travelling with me when flying out of MEL and PER. Flying weekly-fortnightly and mostly at weeknights or on weekends, we’ve spent many special moments and quality time together in the lounges. It...
