    New 717 routes

    Whilst on the topic of 717's... Something that has me a little miffed. Why would a QF 717 (with newer paint scheme (think new roo)) be parked at Miami International Airport??? It was at the AAR hangars (I am sure it was AAR) on Sat 25th Feb & Fri 2nd Mar (midway along runway 8L which we...

    New 3 class 747 layout - QF7/8/15/16/107/108

    Just got off QF16 on Friday and I must say it is great being on the 744, in the MkII J seats Seemed I was the only person downstairs to have a seat vacant next to me (I was in 2A) Observations... Row 1, no thanks... whilst I like the 'old school prestige' of having 1A on the boarding pass, it...

    YUPP Season

    Personally I prefer Feb/Mar & Sep/Oct Miss the high seasons, and most weather events (I stress most) The best thing is, both those time periods have events I need to travel to. For example next month I will be doing SYD-AKL-LAX-DFW-CMH-ORD-MIA-MCO-MIA-ORD-CMH-DFW-LAX-LAS-LAX-BNE-SYD WP...

    Carry On Luggage Question - Looking for a specific type of bag

    I have spent some time looking online, and either I am looking in the wrong places… or my vision is not what it used to be. I am looking for a good quality wheeled carry on bag which has the TSA approved detachable/foldover section for laptops It needs to be light, suitable as the only luggage...

    BNE-YYC Best Plane/Route for Business Class?

    It sounds like you have a few FF miles tucked away so that would lead to the question, what status do you have? That will assist in making further suggestions.

    Noob YUPP Question

    If at all possible, avoid cancelling anything, if you make a booking, try and change it over cancelling it. I have made no less than a dozen changes to KUPP bookings in the past 12 months (A & P fare buckets) All were either change of dates (same flight sectors) or same date but re-routing...

    Qantas Fleet Grounded 29/10

    My understanding is this The decision was made to offer no notice, other than the calls 3 hours prior to the announcement to the PM, IR Minister and peak Tourism bodies, due to safety reasons. The thought of having one rogue employee who did not like this decision and did something vengeful...

    Miami Airport Lounges

    Obviously status wont allow the OP access, but the Flagship lounge in MIA is not too bad (not as good as JFK or LAX, similar to ORD). It is still amusing how AA still dont list this on there website (the Flagship lounge, since it re-opened in '08 (I think, or '07))

    QF J Class LAX Arrival - Express Path/Priority Immigration?

    Having just arrived at LAX this morning from QF11 there is now a new line for express clearance. This only applies to people with ticketed connections, and I think I heard the airport staff saying 90-120 minutes or less. After you leave the aircraft, if you see a ground agent they will give...

    ...and when least expected, a few days ago the reassessment date changed from JAN 2011 to JAN2012 Very nice... And my flight to LAX tomorrow on 107 looks like I may have a different seat to what I have had allocated for the past few months. I did not do online check-in, but whilst the...
