    The Operational Upgrade Thread

    The Mrs and I were in OPO-MAD on Iberia/ Aur Nostrum. We had e boarding passes, the check in desk wasn’t open so we went straight on and finally found the OPO lounge down by gate 35. We went to Baird with gp 0/1. The e tickets didn’t come up as priority. “Boarding “ was just getting into the...

    Jetlag minimisation/avoidance strategies

    I also find these flights mess with sleep. Even with the best intentions, having a meal before boarding, no alcohol etc. I find the noise of the meal service and the smell of hot food keeps me awake. And the shorter flights are borderline for taking a sleep aid/zopiclone. I think the solution...

    Article: China Eastern to launch AKL-EZE route in December 2025

    China Eastern and QF are partner airlines, but will there be any link on this route? Will China Eastern recognise QF status for lounges? Will you be able to get QF SC and points for flying this route? I suspect not but it would be nice to have another QF route to South America

    Article: Qantas Auckland Lounge Upgrade: The End of an Era

    We were on an evening QF flight, both WP and went to the EK lounge. We had met a friend at the airport so we tried to get her into the EK lounge with us. The QF gatekeepers were sympathetic but it was a definite no to us guesting her in because she wasn’t on a oneworld flight. There is a...

    UK Electronic Travel Authority ATA for transit

    We are going to transit in Heathrow in August on a QF ticket. We arrive on QF1 and depart on Iberia a few hours later to MAD. We are not planning on entering the UK, so I don't think we need to pass UK border control. We are trying to find out if we actually need an ETA before we leave. And...

    A totally unexpected surprise

    I was on Emirates J on a birthday a few years ago. I was surprised when 3 staff came up with little cakes, a birthday card and the instant camera for some birthday photos. It did break up the long flight and it seems a nice gesture. That’s the only time I have had this in a birthday flight.

    Article: Qatar Airways’ Confusing Lounge Access Rules

    When QF shuffle us to gate 55 for the AKL flight, it would be nice to get into the AIr NZ lounge after the long and arduous trek from the QF F lounge. I wonder what the price difference is to get QR codeshare SYD-AKL flight is. Although, with my luck, it would be the day that the flight leaves...
