Absolutely this … the person who’s got the decision about paying any attention to your assertion that something needs to be covered under statutory warranty is sooo very likely to just dismiss you … meaning a lot of escalation, arguing, possibly threatening legal action, possibly needing to take...

Ooh first post I see, and a poignant one to boot! Welcome! :) It may be that Qantas behaviour towards their top frequent flyers has changed, but when I was talking more frequently to workmates that were very very firmly in the Platinum zone (eg. return J flights to Europe monthly and Japan...

Well, it’s at no cost to him after all. :)

I saw you too!

Hey that’s an interesting thought … back in the days when sand in unpleasant places didn’t bother me as much, I was happy to stand behind an open tailgate and get completely dressed out of wetsuit & scungees into undies & shirt & jeans using just a towel as a ‘skirt’ to hide the most private...

I think that reading AFF makes me think of the premium cabins as more of a “bunk room” than “in public”. My biggest issue with wearing PJ’s in that “bunk room” is that because I’m not under 25 I won’t wear them in the terminal or the transport to/from the airport, and in most cases the only...

Woah! Scammer accidentally caused what for many could be a positive effect, to highlight a potentially very useful older article!! That spambot will probably sent to bed by its’ mummybot with no dessert tonight …

Oooh, Clapton & Robertson on Further On Up The Road from The Last Waltz!

Maybe that price reflects the product, as well? I tried a couple of LH J lounges circa 2008, one in Frankfurt the other Amsterdam. They were somewhat akin to a really massive version of QF's Hobart lounge (except using automated processes or vending machines rather than the blue-haired tea...

Well queuing theory was around before 'planes were, so there's that little piece of terminology theft while we're at it!

I might have to boil my undies in a hotel kettle one day, just to make it all true! It’s not like tea can be made worse by mixing a bit of poo in.

Helicopter Landing Officer or Helideck Landing Officer. These are the people that make sure the helo lands safely in all conditions!

How do you comfortably do a couple of 3 Michelin star restaurants on successive nights with a traipse around Ben Nevis as well as a wander around Brighton mid-summer, and without any laundry, over 28-odd days, and with only carry-on? For example I can’t imagine wearing undies or socks for more...

… park illegally & badly, yell at randoms on the street, and dress amazingly impeccably given the filth you’re wading through … ?

If you pick it, it won’t get better!

I don’t have any Row 4 experience, but in the J lounge it was the constant loud ‘phone calls and the boots on the seats to ensure nobody sat near them in the busy lounge wot got up my nose.

Indeed! As an example from over a decade ago, the QF domestic J lounge at ... y'know I've forgotten whether it was MEL or BNE, but as per QF domestic J normality there wasn't really any food or drink to get excited about ... HOWEVER it was probably the best view you could get over the tarmac...

Given what dairyfloss quoted & Mrsfefe experienced, it may need clarification. The 4hrs prior limit is probably for when you turn-up at the airport for your the first flight, because connection times in between flights of over 4 hours are very normal and I'd be Extremely Grumpy if I had an 8hr...

That actually sounds a little scary … does make you wonder if someone Problematic maybe lives there, someone you wouldn’t have wanted to meet?

It’s been a few years, but last time I was there with not-work there were some interesting lower-volume options too. Main terminal dunnies were less queuey & no dirtier. :) I kinda think, even as a not-so-frequent flyer, I do have a similar sentiment to @RooFlyer. My introduction to lounges...
