Do you think VA could have overall achieved the same thing if they just enforced their allowances more strictly? The new system will not work without enforcement greater than that done now. I mean, if people read the allowances and followed them to a T, sure they would be fine, but if pax also...

So according to your email, Platinums (not Pluses) will get a downgrade as currently they can carry 32 kg bags regardless of class of service (now it will be 23 kg bags in Economy)? Or have they messed the bed again?

I remember the old days that the standard QF domestic J allowance was 3 bags of 32 kg. As a Platinum, you were entitled to 2 more bags, so a Platinum in J could carry your ridiculous 160 kg. I've definitely heard a couple that used it to move across the country. People carrying a lot of...

Guess I shouldn't ask for "Scotch on the rocks"... I just might get stoned.... 🙃

QF1912 CBR-BNE dep 2045 op Alliance a/c E90 Moderately full J cabin for this late night flight. Two choices for tonight's flight: chicken and mushroom pie with mushy peas, or cheese plate (unsure if it would be just cheese or a Ploughman's). I opted for the cheeses, as did a number around the...

QF1911 BNE-CBR dep 1715 (sched) 1805 (actual) op Alliance a/c E90 First off, something a bit different in the BNE Dom J Lounge; at the hot servery, we have "The Bakery", featuring pork and fennel sausage rolls (rather delicious) and pumpkin and caramelised onion quiches. You could also go to...

Must be some sort of system limitation that they never thought of overcoming or opening up. It does imply that diagnosing most bookings should be fairly simple, e.g. IRROPS or amendments. If you booked via Expedia, normally there is a field to put in your FF details for crediting and status...

I don't know how QF present that roll, but if it were up to me, it wouldn't be preassembled and then you would take off the fish. The reason is because if you were to put the whole preassembled roll into the oven to heat, you would most likely cook the smoked salmon, and my understanding is that...

I think I've seen or had a similar salad before. I believe the base is white beans (small ones, like kidney beans), and they usually get served a bit al dente (a bit hard for my liking). I can't quite remember what else is in it, but I think maybe chopped tomato amongst other things. The...

Looks like a curry with spiced rice and salsa / mini chopped salad. Can't tell what type of curry it is; if I had to guess it is a Malaysian yellow curry.

Better, no question (at least when it comes to queueing, but also in many other areas related to civility and order). My father, since I was young, encouraged me to walk on the opposite side of the road, i.e. the side facing oncoming traffic. So if we drive on the left lane, he would encourage...

Any parts of NZ that might call it Benzin, like a conspicuous corner of the world does?

WMCO are apps made by companies that don't test on both Androids and iOS. In fact, WCMO is the obvious trend that software testing often only tests user pathways assuming only standard parameters and valid inputs, cf. the days when testing meant, "here, try to break this".

Gas in this context is shortform for  gasoline, that word of which has an interesting origin: History of gasoline - Wikipedia Another case of US vs UK spelling / word differences, but the US have a bit more of the world on this one, including e.g. Avgas.

I'm going to guess sweet potato, baked / fried with a crinkly shape, a bit like long chips.

It would not only be 3 extra rows (up to another 18 passengers), but if there are only 4 crew, then 2 working J, that means only 2 working Y, cf. a B737 where it would be one working J and 3 working Y. I haven't been in the latter half of Y cabin for ages, but I thought in a B737 one FA works...

Can you give some examples where you think this signage would be very much needed, e.g. because currently there is an unacceptable safety risk?

Vodka mashed potatoes is a thing: Vodka Mashed Potatoes

You have to ask for one. This was apparently the case for a long time now (kits available on request).
