Something like this. Do You Collect Aviation Trading Cards?

Personal emergency requiring cancelling the trip. They can't prevent you from doing it, sure might search any luggage but they have bigger concerns than a domestic passenger deciding not to travel.

Does that method work? I'm curious and may try it if so. If the booking was originally made outside the DSC period and you retain the same record locater when changing during the DSC period, would it be eligible given the booking was made outside that period? LIke the method of a placeholder...

Correction the scoop was on the DC-9, MD80 series. On 717, the inlet was on the left hand side of the fuselage just above the engine if looking at it side on.

In the general vicinity of the aft exit. I believe the APU exhaust is on the right hand side just below the badse of the fin in that photo, the inlet was a scoop device from the fuselage that deployed as required.

At check in, tell them you're connecting to a QF flight on a separate booking , they will look it up or might ask you what the 'other' booking reference is and voila (hopefully) boarding passes and bags checked through. That's my experience.

I don't know if it's still the case, but a year or so ago you were asked to input the PNR before reaching an agent, supposedly to route complex bookings to 'more experienced' operators.

If the designated crew lane at Immigration is busy with non crew, crew are entitled to go to the head of queue if need be. Whether that applies to the current Smartgates I don't know. I was part of the team conducting the pilot programs (there were several using different hardware/software)...

Also a safety issue- after 12 hours plus on duty back of clock then driving to who knows where in Sydney, nodding off is a real possibility.

Depends what you mean by reasonable doesn't it? I ( and partner)did Sydney - New York- Casablanca- Amman- Frankfurt-Tokyo- Sydney 18 months ago. Seemed reasonable to me.

That isn't an indicator of further instruction. Most formal correspondence from agency to agency seniors are like that. Someone else writes it and the signatory adds the 'personal' touch is generally how it goes. It's effectively code saying they have actually read it.

I was thinking more for staff than any QF FF thing, seeing the staff appeared to be queue jumping.

Maybe a commercial arrangement? If so, poorly handled given the OPs description

Same here, worked ok on the tram, but buses was a lost cause.

When messages are sent, in my experience containing passenger information, the flight information can be shown as per below ( using EDIFACT). Not just QF, but an IATA thing. QF001 SYDSIN 07FEB 1510 2000 QF001 SINLHR 07FEB 2300 0500+1 The +1 indicates next day arrival. The date/time is the...

Yes fair call. I was referring to mainly internal or industry comms not to travellers.

There can be multiple QF1s operating concurrently especially in the event of delays. One way this is dealt with is identifying the flight number with date of departure, departure port ( for that leg in multi leg flights like QF1 & 2 land maybe arrival port. I'm sure there are other methods.

Sat in the front rows on both A330 and A350, no issues with noise or aromas for me, both flights 9+ hours no ear plugs.

AA is hosted by Sabre (it was their creation).
