You are not going to motivate Qantas to improve by everyone continuing to fly with it.

Stacks available on VA all day 6 May:

Bless. You kept flying Qantas on the basis of Qantas keeping its promises?

Yeah, I had that the other day, it was really nice.

But, see, that's the thing. You still chose to fly VA. So the Bain strategy is working.

Train?

Yeah, very important particularly with yoghurt in the low pressure cabin, and definitely qualifies as a micro hack. Have the tab pointing towards the seat in front, and pull up and towards self.

Stayed at Sydney Hilton two nights ago. First time since the new exec lounge opened on L1. Our room upgrade was actually a downgrade. It was to exec floor (L36) in the area where the old exec lounge was, and where they have now squeezed in more rooms. Our room was much smaller (narrower)...

Pretty incredible, four daily CAN/SYD.

No, VA BNE lounge has self service wine.

$360k now (or $120k p.a.).

What everyone else said about SG immigration speed and ease. I would recommend Village Hotel Changi Village, particularly with children, two pools and there is a lot of parkland, playgrounds and seaside at Changi Beach, can stretch the legs in the morning. As well as a great hawker centre. And a...

To be fair, if I'd received such a small number of beans, I'd count them too.
