@FlyingKangaroo and @kevrosmith I'm happy to transfer you one each. Please PM details. The jokes write themselves... 😞

I have two Qantas General Invitations to give away, expiring 8 August 2025. If you are interested, please post in this thread - do not PM. Strong preference for long-standing and contributing members, as opposed to just wanting freebies. Once I nominate the recipient(s), naturally you'll...

Basically meaning flights disrupted, delayed or cancelled due to weather, engineering, air traffic control issues and so on.

Getting OT but they told me the spa closed at 5pm a couple of weeks ago

Yet another for almost the full bingo card, save for meal preference (I’ve never put one down) :(

Has anyone seen this 'F is no longer VIP' in the other F lounges? Qantas can decide who it recognises but I'm sure my commercial value (especially as a status runner) is far below regular full-fare F buyers, so it's a bizarre decision. I'm with those saying it's a miscommunication but you'd...

Some experiences here: https://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/community/threads/unable-to-link-complimentary-lounge-invitation.103847/post-2401578 And a writeup here: https://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/qantas-complimentary-lounge-invitation-limitations/ Can be frustrating to not be...

That reminds me of someone else’s rule I read - pack only the absolute barest essentials of clothes you’ll think you need. Then halve that, and also take double the amount of money you think you need.

Get to the airport and gate early, and don't rely only on the times on apps/screens/via announcements.

Yes, post 51. I live vicariously through all these places I haven’t been to, Gibraltar included!

This will probably become very relevant again… Wonder if there’ll be significant impacts on the kangaroo route among other flights.

I couldn’t come up with anything better or witty. It’s been a placeholder (to denote I’m a fan of flying, not that I’m a cooling device) to this day. I used to have an even worse handle, eastflyer (because I’m on the eastern seaboard). I’d like a wittier handle - something like finalcall...

I did wonder about your post because this is a QF thread. As far as I can recall on my VA flights, this FA block has been a regular feature which I appreciated when in J and understood when not. IMHO it’s a great way to look after J pax and I feel a bit sorry for the FA whose job is to be a...

If QF had made CL access more frequent or regular especially give how quiet (ahem exclusive) it is at times, I’d have tried harder to retain P1 but I expect this to be my last year. Yes I know it’s irrational, the $$$ could instead buy a whole ocean of S&P squid.

No apology needed, glad you added something lovely to my original query thread. During my Dehradun stay I wasn’t in a place nearly as nice as the Westin!

After several years at P1 I received my first CL invite - well, knock me over with a feather. It was a midweek, mid-afternoon departure from MEL. When I entered I could see why they let me finally darken their doorstep - it was deathly quiet and made me whisper to the staff, I was the only pax...

An erstwhile member (I forget who) has said one of the most FAQs on AFF (probably second only to 'when is the next DSC?') is LAX transit times needed for a connecting flight. It seems that which terminals to get to, TBIT etc, are also asked about regularly. Thus my suggestion - a sticky / help...

From the MEL CL thanks to the first time I've received an invitation for entry.

My +1 really wanted to visit the business dungeon because, unlike the F Lounge, they have a juicer. The agent was a bit bemusedly disbelieving we wanted in. We popped in for a brief look - after spending the preceding hour in the F lounge.
