As much as I rave on about an express meal service, crew were great on a recent QF12. Got a cheese plate and red wine very promptly and excited crew convinced me to have a panacotta then noticed I was done and made my bed whilst everyone else was in the middle of dinner service. This was greatly...

Back to schlepping the golden triangle with Mel and bne this week after the bright lights of nyc

Finding it increasingly useful to have reserved sections in lounges. LAX was a wait list on tables for the general section. SYD has also been more pleasant for morning departures down the end.

I’m through there most weeks and tbh I’ve found myself gravitating toward the standard dishes at the buffet. I’d appreciate a few new options like a simple stir fry.

Actual office view from NYC Heading back to Oz after a whirlwind week here in NYC. My JFK-LAX was temperamental with maintenance issues so was cancelled then bought back with a minor delay but picture a 321 plane load of people running gate to gate based on what the AA staff could tell us. AA...

This one’s from my hotel for the week. Office is a few blocks down in midtown. New York has surprisrised to the upside

In the New York office this week Did QF 3 over which actually flew by

Got looked after well on a recent TT in Y. Interestingly there were 2 spare J seats but I think I consumed more than J. Doing the golden triangle route today and managed to fly ahead in J when everythings booked at evening peak and crew have been great to everyone. Nothing specific but QF...

Seems like the SC counter has reset for the aug and Sep year end. No issues continuing with QF at this stage. Should be above 600 for the month of October.

I believe some of the lounges had been contracted like QF do and will go back in house to CX. I’ve certainly noticed it at the wing where the bar tenders were not the usual quality. Hopefully going back in house will change the Cx quality.

Remember there are always one, two or three tiers more on the hamster wheel of loyalty spinning above WP. Go where they treat you well

Waiting for my 6000+ SCs to be wiped… First time I’ve hit this level so noting it for posterity. 90%+ for work and a few leisure redemptions in there

I continue to really value Marriott status as an Ambassador. Sheraton LAX Got an 8pm checkout and corner suite with a great runway view on points redemption which was much appreciated Back at the Ritz Carlton this week. Always excellent service and great view. As is documented, suite...

I still lament the loss of the express dinner… I’m usually exhausted so just want a cheese plate and red then catching Zzzs….hopefully they’ll bring these back as the full service just isn’t worth waiting hours for

Heading back into the smoky SYD office…already have a tickly cough from the north americas so this smoke isn’t helping

I’m a bit surprised by the fanfare a note has caused here and on FB. I stay in a hotel 3 nights a week and have gotten these kind of notes for years as Im sure many on this forum have as well…it’s hardly revolutionary. I truly appreciate them when they are accompanied by a few extra drink...

It’s all a dark art but can work to your advantage. I have time restrictions so book flights I feel are going to be cancelled and now QF knows to book me on earlier services just like what happened on todays Syd mel flight

That looks pretty good…although as a weekly visitor I limit myself to salad ingredients only :/

It may have been there too…there were two options
