Had the "underplate" for lunch today on QF37. It was quick and easy but easily slipped off the tray table which was annoying. They need proper rubber feet.

We arrived at 12:30pm and it was very quiet, escorted from entry to table and had very quick service (10 min wait for meals) and constant champagne top ups. It got quite busy from 2pm though and service slowed from there.

My mate didn't arrive until 12pm so missed out on the breakfast menu, we enjoyed enough of the all day dining though.

First time in a QFLounge today, I was going to post the menu but @blackcat20 beat me to it. S&P Squid was delicious, had the chicken bao and steamed snapper, both quite good (bao a little dry). Finished up with the brownie dessert. Champagne and coughtails going down a treat! The aircon isn't...

That is true, I would guest but I'm travelling with a friend. No, I'm actually coming back in F on EK404 Saturday morning. We're doing a overnight trip just for the FLounge and the flight back!

I was wondering who was stealing my (very low) chances at a cash upgrade to J for 2 tomorrow!

I was originally planning on flying VA at 8am from BNE to MEL on Friday. Ended up flying down with QF Wednesday morning instead and holding out for VA to cancel the flight so I can get a refund on my lite booking.. Cancellation text came through last night so made the right call to leave earlier.

You can just show your digital card in the app as well (along with a valid and relevant boarding pass).

BNE airport pretty busy this morning, lots of leisure travellers. Wind is still calm for now..

This was when making a new booking on the web (PC).

Just went to make a booking and noticed that the seat selection UI has changed. This feels more like VAs booking screen, making the cost of each seat more obvious. Complete speculation but I wonder if this is a precursor to more seat selection fees in general.

I'm currently scheduled for BNE to MEL Friday morning with VA (lite). I must be in Melbourne Friday for an unprotected international flight that evening. My plan is to fly down Wednesday morning instead, and not touch my Friday booking. I suspect VA will either cancel the flight or have a...

Emailed the FF team about this yesterday, got a response this morning and points back in my account this afternoon. Separately success at T-5 for BNE-SYD on Monday 5:20am and T-1 for SYD to BNE tonight at 8pm. CSM was very energetic and offered a bottle of Koonunga to take home.

We were in the lounge, then got put on standby for a later flight (I think the next with availability) and was told by the desk that there was no J left to BNE. Back in row 25 😬 but seated together and would rather get home earlier than later, or the next day, in J. All due to QF619 diverting...

Cancellation and downgrade back to whY unfortunately 😔 now to chase up a refund..

Oh absolutely, we have a trip to Scandinavia at the end of the year in J and F. Might be a bit mad though.

Success at T-7 for MEL to BNE for 2 this afternoon. Bit surprised given it was showing J1 yesterday but will take the win. Wouldn't normally upgrade on a 738 but it's our last flight together before bubs is due.

Some plane spotting will certainly be on the cards! Not a bad idea, QF37 departs at 5pm and my connecting flight from BNE arrives around 10am in the morning so could sample both menus.

A mate and I will be in the MEL Flounge in 2 weeks - flying whY on QF. Any tips or suggestions? We'll be aiming to spend about 4hrs there - will ask for a spa treatment when we arrive in the hope we can get one before departure.

I submitted some positive feedback to this after a great flight - I got a really nice reply a few days later so I can assure that they pass these messages on.
