    What cheeses me off

    WMCO are apps made by companies that don't test on both Androids and iOS. In fact, WCMO is the obvious trend that software testing often only tests user pathways assuming only standard parameters and valid inputs, cf. the days when testing meant, "here, try to break this".

    What cheeses me off

    Gas in this context is shortform for  gasoline, that word of which has an interesting origin: History of gasoline - Wikipedia Another case of US vs UK spelling / word differences, but the US have a bit more of the world on this one, including e.g. Avgas.

    Virgin Australia Business Class - Meals, Menus & Service

    I'm going to guess sweet potato, baked / fried with a crinkly shape, a bit like long chips.

    Qantas' New A321XLR

    It would not only be 3 extra rows (up to another 18 passengers), but if there are only 4 crew, then 2 working J, that means only 2 working Y, cf. a B737 where it would be one working J and 3 working Y. I haven't been in the latter half of Y cabin for ages, but I thought in a B737 one FA works...

    What side to walk on?

    Can you give some examples where you think this signage would be very much needed, e.g. because currently there is an unacceptable safety risk?

    What cheeses me off

    This is true, so long as the agent knows what they are doing (which more than half of them do). When you're put on the spot for it, e.g. by a QR agent, it's less helpful then, but I tend to note down all partner PNRs on my documents before I start a trip for reasons like this (let alone for...

    Spice bar at Melbourne Qantas Domestic Business Lounge

    For anyone who is curious about the Lion's head meatballs, this is what they are: Lion's Head (food) - Wikipedia I'd say by looks that the version on offer in Melbourne is a distinctly smaller and simpler version.

    NAB acquires Citibank Australia

    Just a note that Suncorp Banking was acquired by ANZ last year, so it's only a matter of time before being moved over to their systems. Likely not a huge concern, but so there.....

    What cheeses me off

    I'm guessing @drron booked the QR flight on a partner (AA maybe?). Carriers on a ticket issued by another carrier sometimes have their own PNR that is different to the one who issued the ticket, and many airlines are exceptionally bad at showing what those partner PNRs are (VA is a notable...

    What cheeses me off

    Well, there are, and they are very good tools, but it's still not simple. If there's lots of people which you need to remove, you'll have a wonderful time selecting and removing people clusters (or one) at a time. Of course, when the person is removed, the app uses AI to guess what should have...

    What cheeses me off

    The IG generation does make it frustrating in this respect, but depending on where you are, it just may be par for course and you'll never get a photo without people in it. A classic example - I went to the Taj Mahal last year. You see those wonderful photos in magazines etc. with no people in...

    Earn up to 110 Qantas Status Credits on the ground

    The savvy ones will achieve however much they can with what they do anyway, rather than explicitly go out and get them through huge changes or deliberate unnecessary spending. If it so happens someone can scoop 110 SC by not shifting any or much of what they do anyway, all good. Maybe it seems...

    Qantas' New A321XLR

    If maybe there's only one thing that marks this as a gamechanger, is that QF is starting its significant shift away from Boeing to Airbus, particularly of its workhorse domestic fleet. They might have been better to anchor the announcement on that, though that might have been too much of two...

    Singapore Airlines Business Class Meals & Menus

    That looks a treat to me, but I am Asian and can appreciate these kinds of dishes can be tough to present elegantly.

    I won't get the full 110, but it'll provide a nice trickle. Thanks for the tip!
