Another way of seeing this, which I hope Aussie_flyer is what you were try to articulate, is like this: Natalie, our esteemed author of the now proven "beat up article" is actually a young late 20's journo who became disillusioned with the boys club of the Fleet Street newsroom and needed any...

Most of the time I try to find the fastest path through to the lounge. If I'm low on fragrance or need a specific thing (like new power adapters for the Retina Display - &*^% you Apple for changing the plug yet again) I'll stop in. Other wise, ignore and walk straight through!

It's not a big deal, no hate from me :-) A bit of robust debate is a healthy thing.

Yes Bob was a journalist before politics. Sydney Uni and a journo for SMH I think, unless someone would like to correct me...

Actually, there are numerous bachelors and diplomas out there that can be acquired to claim one as a journalist. Some of these university degrees concentrate on quality of investigation of your topic and then honest and balanced reporting/writing of said topic (ref: Malcolm Caldwell, his...

Guess what? Natalie is actually a SHE who used write allegedly "quality" articles for the newsroom of The Telegraph in London and then decided to throw that in to write even lighter weight forget after scanning through the dross travel articles that I forget within 3 seconds. I have no comment...

It can happen to the most seasoned traveller.... +1 and I were checking in to a flight from POA (Porto Alegre, Brazil) to MIA last year. The trip was booked on Expedia during the start of their transition on the US site to the new layout. +1 has a long two name hyphenated surname that printed...

Upgrade Smuckgrade Yeah whatever........... Totally useless article written by a wannabe travel writer with no clue and nothing else to write about. Time to move on.

At YUL yesterday at 11:30, only around 20 odd people in the immigration line. Through in 20 minutes (fastest ever for YUL!) US Immigration have a new toy at YUL they are trying out. They scan your boarding pass and then show you your baggage on a screen and ask if that's your baggage. The...

That one has happened many times before. One of the classics: BBC NEWS | UK | Britons fly to 'wrong' Sydney

BBC News - Heathrow Airport runways closed after plane 'fire' We are at CDG at the moment waiting for a delayed flight to LHR. Check in Agent says they've been told it's a bird strike. Update: Some pic's on AV Herald: http://avherald.com/h?article=462beb5e&opt=0 We made it to LHR and it's...

The multi grain roll and ROOM TEMP generous sized German butter on LH in the EU is awesome :-)

QF 2 day Sale ex DFW-SYD (or BNE) Surprised this one hasn't been posted yet. Only a few hours remaining from the USA site: get a Y+ bargin DFW-SYD return for US$2222. Go to the QF site and change your country to USA and look at the specials banner.

I recently downgraded to the 13" Retina MBP because 15" was just too heavy to lug around all the time and the power kept tripping in flight. 13" has a 60w power supply and I find at least so much lighter and easier to travel with.

I changed jobs about 4 years ago and with that came constant international travel. Before then, international J was a bit of a pipe dream as much as OS travel was. Now, with so much travel, I simply won't go below Y+ and quite often will be in the J cabin either paid outright through my work...

Seems to be overnight maintenance. Mine came back yesterday during the day but offline again tonight.

Not working here either

At JFK two weeks ago, I forgot to adjust the time zone on my phone from BOG (+ 1 hour). Happily sitting in the lounge with +1 thinking we have an hour until boarding, we have another drink. About 30 mins later on the way back from the bathroom, I check the screens only to find out flight left...

Yes, the incoming immigration line has the same signage - at the bottom of the list on the signage it says OWE & OWS has access. We just showed our BP and WP cards and we were allowed access.

If it is a BA operated lounge, you will have access. If it is a 3rd party lounge operated on behalf of BA, your only way of access will be on a F or J ticket or equivalent OW status with BA. 3rd party BA lounges do not allow access for OW status pax. I tried the other day at YUL, where the BA...
