    What cheeses me off

    Sounds similar to those people who at 7am throw towels on lounge chairs around pools and then they go away for breakfast or whatever and don't come back for hours.

    Beat Jetlag; Don't Eat During Flight

    Tripped over this interesting article that suggested that the author could beat jetlag by only eating on the ground at departure and upon arrival. During the flight, they only had water. I've never done this, and never really had exceptionally bad jetlag. Plus, I'm too greedy to say no to food...

    What? Row 9 is now a 'Preferred Row'? Oh no, how the standards have fallen. So sad.

    Seat Selection Fee

    Yes it very odd. Not sure what's happening here. Trying to get into row 9. Yes, originating here in ADL. Just tried seat selection again and still asking for $10 via Manage My Bookings. I think that I will have to get in touch with the call centre.

    cruise surprises

    Personally, the additional amenities didn't add up for me. I could simply purchase/upgrade what I wanted and still come out paying less. Others may disagree.

    cruise surprises

    Personally, not for me. I normally book a basic room as I tend to only spend my time sleeping in the room and most of my time around the rest of the ship or doing shore excursions. One time I did get a balcony room because everything was sold out. It did come in handy as one of my babies had a...

    Qantas flight makes emergency landing after wheel fire

    Small wheel fire on a QF Link aircraft after landing in SYD. Some nice video of the fire crews giving it a good squirt with foam. I'm assuming that the brakes over heated...

    cruise surprises

    Grumpy old man mode ON - I liked cruises before Covid. In recent years I now dislike - 1. If you want a drinks package, everyone in your room has to take it. My wife doesn't drink so the cruise company doesn't get my money that way. I now PAYG which probably saves me money compared with a...

    Qantas Project Sunrise goes ahead, 12 new A350-1000s ordered

    Maybe QF will terminate this once SYD-JFK starts?

    QantasLink 717s scheduled on MEL-SYD

    Whilst I understand your surprise.... what's with 101,000 and 129,000 points for these flights??? Is this normal? What have I missed?

    Oh how we all miss the days when a QF representative(s) would actively engage with this site and even intervene/problem solve on behalf of members. Hopefully this will return one day.

    Article: Malaysia Airlines Offers Bonus Domestic Side Trip

    I have used a similar offer by MH before. Bought return flights to KUL and did a free side trip to SIN. Shame that the offer this time is for only free flights within Malaysia.

    Bali. Flying (maybe) Jetstar Business Class MEL-DPS-MEL.

    Thanks for the photos. The photo of the window makes it look very small.

    business reward seats

    As an aside, is it my imagination or have the number of required points for premium seats gone up significantly in the last 12 mths?

    Where have all the WORKERS gone?

    They are lazy and at home watching Netflix and have transitioned to become 'influencers'.
