So then we're in agreement that 3 items is possible? Then let's go back to the original messages that seem to have sparked this 'disagreement'. I can have two small bags, which is clearly stated as "14kg total (each piece must not exceed 10kg)" and one personal item. How does this equate to...

And you're ignoring the part where it clearly says "Plus, one small personal item". By your logic, you would only be able to bring: "One standard piece" OR "Two small pieces" OR "One small piece and garment bag" OR "one small personal item" The personal item text isn't nested within the small...

You can have 10kg + 4kg (14kg total) + personal item? The rules just say "14kg total (each piece must not exceed 10kg)", so why couldn't you have a 10kg bag in the overhead? Sure reads like you want the policy to be changed so that personal item counts as part of the 14kg total allowance...

I think Lynda mentioned in an earlier post that she would like to see a 14kg total restriction including the personal item. Then started talking about it as if it was already the case (no pun intended).

I'm always flying out around that time of year, not had to pay anything more then $4.5k to SE Asia yet. This year's looking like $5.2k to $6k though.

Alright I re-subscribed to EF (no free trial for existing accounts). Tried for the following in J - QF127 19 Dec - Denied QF29 19 Dec - Denied QF29 20 Dec - Denied QF127 22 Dec - Denied QF29 22 Dec - Accepted QF2 10 Jan - Denied (and I availability disappeared after this) QF2 11 Jan - Denied...

I don't fly SQ much, but I don't recall them weighing my hand luggage a couple of years back on a SYD > SIN return. I would've had both a duffel and a backpack for that trip. Having said that I primarily fly J internationally so maybe airlines are more lenient for premium cabins. I was...

Not saying it doesn't happen, but I've never heard of any issues with overhead bins failing due to weight. I've also had no legacy carriers short or long haul pay any attention to weight of passengers carry on - with the exception of Qatar. Cabin bag can easily exceed 10kg if you consider...

I've definitely had my (standard sized) cabin bag weighed at premium entry before security at BNE on a weekday, around 5 - 5:30pm. Perhaps unpopular opinion but my experience that day kind of put me off the concept. The person asked to weigh my cabin bag, then asked me to put my personal item...

Wonder if this is in addition to the bag weighing they do before security during peak times, in airports such as SYD and BNE.

I passed through here last month before QF44, it was crazy packed to the point of staff walking around trying to find seats for people. Food was passable, fair amount of variety but not high quality. Didn't try the alcohol. Stayed for 20 mins before heading to the gate.

Anyone had any success with getting seats released for this coming Dec/Jan holiday period to Asia? Don't currently have an EF subscription to even begin checking loads.

Echoing what the others have said, it's generally not possible to book - a QF codeshare flight with points a domestic QF codeshare flight on its own - it generally must connect to an international. I tried a few dates and couldn't get the QF award booking engine to give me a QF code on PDX to...

This exactly. Many 'common' people I know won't even look for J or F availability, and are just happy to redeem points on whatever. Whether it's a combination of limited flexibility, big family, not needing premium cabins or just wanting a bit of fulfillment on getting something for 'free' -...

I have quite a different expectation from QF domestic J to a CX long haul F. Heck even QF international J has decent eggs, not sure if cooked fresh though.

The first delayed flight of the day for the specific aircraft will be stated as weather or maybe crew. All subsequent flights will be 'due to the late inbound arrival of the operating aircraft'.

In regards to the somewhat new hand luggage piece and weight enforcement, there was a survey I received a couple of months back asking for my thoughts. I think I indicated I wasn't too happy with the not very consistent enforcement of rules around weight of bags, and that checked in baggage...

Haven't seen soup in domestic J for a while now. Maybe it's the timing of the flights I catch.

Domestic BNE - SYD. Some sort of smoked salmon salad. Pretty tasty, probably could use less dressing, roasted capsicum and more greens but overall a good dish.

Whenever I've witnessed people trying to board to early, they don't seem to do 'the walk'. They all just stand to the side of the queue in a group.
