Did you get reunited with your bag?

There are OW T3 evening flights to New York, Hong Kong, and South Africa that leave before QF2, so regardless of which OW lounge you're in, you see the relevant wave of people departing. In my case, most of my 10 minutes was spent trying to get to a table and then puzzling over that strange...

If that's the case, I really feel for the poor soul who has to put up with us! :) Seriousy, I think the SST do try very hard, but other parts of QF then seem to go out of their way to stuff things up. I had a totally impossible request for a reward booking on QF2 with a week's notice this...

I still haven't fully recovered from the shock of my evening visit to write a response to the SST. If I had to summarise the lounge in one word, it would be CHEAP - the decor, the ambience, the food, the service. After all tbe hype, this is not a premium lounge. As one example, this is the...

It was in the how far you've flown section. It was blank in the first email, but then they sent a correction. I like how the gizmo goes up to 800,000km as if that's some sort of target. That's like around two return trips to London or 4x24 hours on a plane a month. If you did that much...

I've made the trek to the newsagent this morning (passing a dozen other newsagents and 7-11s along the way) ... And Comtes it was, along with a letter from Alan. Thanks QF! According to the P1 newsletter gizmo, I'm in the top 30% of P1s, with a 15% decrease in kms since last year. I thought...

The baby suit has landed ...

I received this email today from the SST: "Be one of the first to experience our new lounge Dear LM We noticed that you will be departing London with Qantas soon, so we wanted to let you know that the new Qantas London Lounge is now open. Located in Terminal 3, our luxurious new split-level...

I'm inbound this Friday and outbound next Wednesday.

Dear Santa, I've been very GOOD this year, and I'd prefer a leather wallet. :D My whatever it is is sitting at a newsagent several suburbs away from my actual house. I'm tempted to ring them to see if they'll tell me what shape the box is!

Has anyone received a P1 Christmas gift yet? I got a strange email from Sendle that my delivery was on its way, but I haven't ordered anything. The pessimistic in me says it's spam. The optimist in me is still hopeful ...

I found a website theqantassource.com that has a lot of history, according to which the dud seat was on VH-OQE. But there wasn't any future schedule. I've switched to 1K for this week's flight as a precaution! But as an aside, it's a bit disappointing that they can't or won't fix an F seat in...

How do you find out what the rego number is/was?

It was post boarding. One side of my brain thought I should throw a tantrum and get off. The more rationale side said that would mean a hotel in Melbourne and not getting home for another day. Before F, I used to think J was a luxury :)

I thought I should share a really good SST experience. I fly the same route regularly and tend to sit in the same handful of seats. On two of my three MEL-LHR flights in the past month, seat 1A has been broken. I don't know if it's the same tail number, but it would be a coincidence if not. The...

Saturday night in the F Lounge again, no bogan sightings. I was offered meeting room 1 or 2, and suggested room 2, given the previous circumstances regarding room 1. After settling in an ordering a coffee, something in the corner caught my eye ...

I think it was the last Bledisloe Cup match. Not the most bogan of sports I suppose. A league match would have been more fitting to the occasion. :)

The opening is getting really close apparently. The check in agent said it was supposed to be today, but there was a hold up. There were workers outside the white hoardings when I walked by, and I got a glimpse inside. The glass enrty doors are right behind the hoardings. It looks like ... a...

OK I admit I've blown it on bogan fashion. But I clearly can't count ... Does that tip the balance back in my favour? Note to self: practice by counting the number of carats on the tiara ... :D

Great idea. Admittedly after needing to google the definition of "sartorial", based on the thoughtful responses provided to this thread so far, I would propose the following standards: Thongs or the disposable booties available at reception should be worn in the lounge at all times. Bare feet...
