    I have visions of a wheelchair with the child stacked on top of the guest, hidden under a blanket.

    First trip in SQ J

    On a final note, I left AKL Wednesday and arrived home on Saturday. When I checked my emails after getting home, I saw this from the Singapore Government approving my stay in Singapore after I had completed my stay. Proving that governments around the world are full of red tape that is...

    First trip in SQ J

    We arrived on time into Singapore. I left the plane and at the gate entrance double checked. Phone, wallet, passport. Oh dear, the passport was still in the handy seatside container. I told the SG gate agent, had to wait for 5 min and was then escorted back onto the aircraft to collect my...

    First trip in SQ J

    The amenity kit was weird. They brought the kit, then came back and asked if I wanted slippers and socks. No mention of ear plugs. They had toothbrushes and razors in the bathroom. I grabbed a toothbrush early and noted there were none left 1 hour before arrival

    First trip in SQ J

    Our unit got a last minute invitation to a meeting in Singapore. There had been discussions for a month about attending, but we ended up with 7 days notice. This meant only 2 of us could attend, and the flights were not cheap. It also meant I had no time to discuss alternate ( QF ) flights, so I...

    Qatar Gold vs Velocity Platinum. Which to use?

    Why are things made so complicated? I now it comes down to money, but there seems little concern over goodwill. Perhaps it is that we are in an echo-chamber and think flying and the experience of the journey is important. In the alternate universe, many people dont have status. But there are...

    Will Qantas have a March 2023 double status credit promotion?

    Hi prognosticators, Any thoughts about QF doing a Feb 2023 double SC promotion? Do they want to generate more sales or are they content with the current loads? If they do bring the DSC back, is it on any QF booking, regardless of metal flown? Could you fly EK or get a RWT ticket?

    Qatar Ist class lounge access Doha

    We thought we would do the free bus tour when we had a similar time there. On arrival we got to the bus tour desk. There was a big queue with no priority line. We finally got to the desk and were told we could get seats in about 12 hours. With the 3 hour tour, we would have missed our...

    Successful QF 'Bid Now Upgrades' data thread

    This could mean, if you want to bid with points, the minimum is 3,600 points. If you wish to use cash, you can ignore the first sentence and use 0 points. Could you hit submit with 0 points and $130 cash?

    Does that work better for getting them to sleep than a drive in the car?

    Qatar Ist class lounge access Doha

    We did Athens- Doha in J, with a 7 hour stopover, then J ( which is regional first class) to Muscat. We were invited to use the first lounge. On return Muscat-Doha in F, then to Bankgok in J, we were pointed to the business lounge. We were told it was the class you were about to fly that gave...

    Have you tried playing the sound randomly? Imagine the reaction. You could time it to give morse code instructons.

    First time to South America

    Home and happy What would we do differently? Most things worked well. It was unexpected to get a covid PCR coming into Santiago for the second leg. The thought of spending time in an isolation hotel was not appealing. Flying direct from AKL-SCL-CJC worked with the hotel ensuring prompt...

    First time to South America

    Day 13 No messages or missed calls from the Chilean government. Time to check the website. And we are safe. A bit of relief as we had no desire to spend a week in a quarantine hotel and more input here were NO seats to AKL for at least a few days after release date. We joined a walking tour...
