    Western Sydney Airport (WSI) Discussion

    I wouldn't want to be hanging my hat on that. Is that the best we can say about WSI? What colour elephants come to mind?

    I'm not surprised, based on the quality of my recent order.

    Cathay now also bans OW FF from pre-selecting seats

    Yes, of course, but which. I haven't been able to figure it out so far. Perhaps it's to do with me running Win7. I do have 3 Win11 computers that I could try, but really I can't be bothered. If CX wants to play games with its "security" protocols, then fine. I'll just book with someone else and...

    Jetstar outage

    Well, FWIW, I flew my booked Jetstar flight CBR-OOL and, surprisingly, it was on time. and no hand baggage weighing. I also managed to get an empty seat next to me, and even have a beer in the Qantas Club at OOL after the flight. Unfortunately only one beer, as the club was closing in 15 minutes...

    Should we credit to QFF or EK Skywards

    But if you have no status with EK, will that be of any use to you (assuming you have few other points with them)?

    Paper towels enhanced from lounges?

    Still in the shower rooms at MEL Dom. Obvious why. They're cheaper than putting a Dyson in each cubicle. Saves the planet too,

    Buying Qantas top-up points with a bonus: Worth it?

    For sure, and I've recently purchased wine for <1.7c / pt. If you don't like wine, just give it to your uncle that does...

    QFi to QFd aircraft transfers (or vice versa)

    FWIW, I did note there was a 330 in th hangar opposite the Bus Lounge this morning. Pure coincidence perhaps?

    Cathay now also bans OW FF from pre-selecting seats

    As a data point, I tried to book a one way PE ticket SYD-MNL on the CX webite this morning. It wouldn't allow me to do it, I think because I was using a VPN. I tried againwith the VPN disabled and same result, and also couldn't make the booking when I switched from wifi to phone data. So it...

    Cathay now also bans OW FF from pre-selecting seats

    I have 8 business class flights coming up with CX, as well as the odd Premium Economy flight. If this nonsense continues, it will deter me from booking CX. I hope that this was what Cathay was wanting.

    Release of 1000 Biz Rewards seats to Paris ( and more)

    I would agree with you. As someone who grew up in the UK and spent many family holidays in the South of France, I don't like Paris (or Northern France) all that much. If faced with the choice between Rome and Paris, I'd go for Rome every time. As I get older, I find I much prefer Italy to...

    Auckland Airport No trains until end of April

    Just doing a sample booking right now (21:19 SYD time) suggests the cost would be in the region of NZ$60. But of course, you could have done this too.

    Amazing Business Class Fares SOF-ADL R?T

    Of course, I wasn't born yesterday (perhaps the day before). But if you were to look a little more closely, you might see that these fares can be booked directly withe the airline, depending on the dates. If you're really interested you'll do the research. That's why I posted the fare. If not...

    Amazing Business Class Fares SOF-ADL R?T

    Yes, I was fully aware of that, but it didn't fit in with my arrangements in Europe. What's a couple hundred bucks anyway in the grand scheme of things? It's a really good fare and IMO, unlikely to be repeated anytime soon.

    Amazing Business Class Fares SOF-ADL R?T

    Just come across this fare which I am looking at booking. It seems widely available ATM, with dates right through to October, although it may not last very long. The fare is around AU$4,000 R/T, depending on the dates you choose. This is what I am looking at, as I already have a booking (which...
