So would you be willing to pay the premium QF is demanding to avoid MH next time, or fly someone else? The meal timing and having to follow up with earplugs is annoying but IMHO I’d make sure I had my own equipment like noise-cancelling earphones for an overnight flight.

I don't have experience and the T&Cs around this are very sparse, but presumably this might also void any SCs towards lifetime status?

I have one datapoint of a family in the CL/P1 area (so presumably offered this special menu) while on MH metal

Welcome to AFF. It's the MEL F lounge that's closed so that shouldn't be the reason you cant link your 12 October flight. I was going to say school holiday blackout period but holidays would have finished by then. While we're all friends here, sometimes unfriendlies might also pass through, so...

When I did DPS status run turnarounds last year, when arriving I headed straight down the hall for transfers, rather than turn right for the immigration queues. I don't remember airline-specific transfer desks, but there was what seemed to be a 'general' desk checking my boarding pass - and I...

I'd think FAs usually have the opposite problem - DYKWIAs declaring "I'm lifetime triple-studded diamond top tier, I spend eleventy zillion on your airline....."

That appears dodgy, possibly illegal. If so, I also encourage reporting - I'd do the same if I came across it myself. Their response sounds like a copout and trying to wash their hands of it. It's their website, they're taking your money and they're making the profit.

Most recent international experience: At the MEL FLounge (flying Y), was offered a spa slot and gladly took it up. Outbound after the lunch service, the flight attendants missed clearing our row (2nd row of Y) and by the time I realised they weren't coming back they were too far away without...

I admit to being conditioned to treating boarding early or first as a benefit and privilege and usually do so, even though it means I'm 'stuck' in a seat for a few minutes longer. But IMHO one of the good things about boarding early is because I usually have a window seat, I don't have to impose...

In my latest newsletter No tasting of the menu if it’s closed for a month!

There's this thread that started off about a fail, so glad you had the opposite experience. https://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/community/threads/virgin-priority-boarding-fail.101213/

There are some flyers out there who aren’t even signed up to QFF - not even bronze! :p

I’d be very surprised to see this offered

Didn't bother entering as 1) I've never had any luck with 'tell us in 25 words' competitions and not feeling lucky and 2) I'm MEL based so it's going in the wrong direction for me. (I can't tie it in with a status run!)

Trans-Tasman I expect

In my recent QF flights they've made and repeated the announcements to keep power banks out of the overhead lockers and within easy reach. I probably have to agree with jb747, a blanket ban seems inevitable.

I've had it so easy, I'm positive there are far far worse process out there. But even then I feel like the visa application systems of various governments are intent on seriously getting you to question your willingness to proceed or live. Recently did Indonesia and Vietnam and they were painful...

When I really need to wake up (such as for an early flight), I set two alarms a few minutes apart. On the same device is fine. Sometimes I can barely consciously switch off or snooze an alarm and then sleep deeply for a dangerously long time afterwards. Always have least two pens in carry-on...

Success BKK-SYD - × 3 so I was a little anxious that many might be harder. Thanks to Captain Halliday, was showing J5 C5 D5 I0 U0 shortly before the success text came at T-25.
