    Two QF A380s to be scrapped

    My initial thought was undergoing training in anticipation for return to A380 work flights in a sim. Are QF doing any training in A380 aircraft?

    Vaccine Rollout in Australia - personal accounts.

    My experience so far here is SA and falling into the 1B category. Was ready to book and go approx 4 weeks ago but then the issue about the AZ vaccine for <50yr olds came up and so that put an end to my initial plan. Had my flu shot instead that night. MON 10/05 decided to investigate Pfizer...

    St George Amplify VISA

    Splitting family J and Y

    That's great information. I have thought about this often. My boys will be shocked when they find out that they are flying Y together whilst the adults fly J. They turn 15 next year (not that we have any flights booked yet).

    So... what car do you guys drive when not flying?

    Its the same group of people who hire a Winnebago, set the cruise control and then go into the back and make a sandwich.

    Bumped from Row 4 at the gate

    No I didn't. Could have been someone famous but I'm not good at spotting celebrities. Turned out to be a family of a Mr, Mrs and a toddler (obviously not all in 1A but across row 1).

    Bumped from Row 4 at the gate

    I've been bumped from 1A. I spoke to the lounge staff and asked if I got 'trumped' by a CL or similar and they where honest enough to say 'yes'. I appreciated the honesty.
