    Made any travel mistakes lately?

    Correct but the mistake was scanning the wrong one The 3 BP are all on the same screen next to one another - only a slight swipe to the right or left can move a BP

    What are your air travel micro-hacks?

    If carry on or checked luggage is maxed out, just have one of these as a backup. Collapsible. Wear everything that does not fit in carry on. After boarding put all the excess into this bag

    Qantas Denial of OW Emerald access to Sydney First Lounge

    That has always been the catch all rule that CX used to exclude anyone they didn't want who were otherwise eligible on the basis of the other requirements. This happened more than once at the Marco Polo at SFO in the past - was relegated to the AF lounge canteen. "Sorry the lounge is full"...

    Business Class "Protocol" and Tips

    That's the best way to make your thread last a thousand pages🤣 If planning to change into JimJams, don't do it until after the flight has reached cruise altitude. Just in case something happens on take off and the flight has to return to the airport. Not a good look if you have to evacuate or...

    Airport security confiscated an empty water bottle

    That's where it falls apart. Currently an agent takes the card at the start of the green /red lane gives the passenger the once over and depending on the vibe/the mark on the card by passport, and what's on the card, it's either green or red. Easier with paper Anyway it's about water...

    BYO shampoo minis and what do hotels refill their dispensers with?

    Excellent!. I think it's quite deliberate . Similarly it does not any fragrance Don't know why the test of whether a soap is good or not is the smell?🤔 If they got rid of the "vitamins" they could reduce the price further which may put it in the bottom shelf. Cheap/bottom shelf is the...

    Made any travel mistakes lately?

    On last flight out of BNE, for some reason all 3 electronic BP went to me (as the travel arranger and 1 of 3) So i had to screenshot and send the BP to the other 2 pax - correctly but i still had 3 separate boarding passes on my QF app Well my faux pas was scanning the wrong BP at the gate - i...

    Airport security confiscated an empty water bottle

    Hopefully its all recycled in the end but in the scheme of things miniscule in terms of the paper waste that is generated - say on airplanes i would hesitate to think what the $ spend would be if Customs/Quarantine embarked on an upgrade to their systems to digitalise the cards. I fear a repeat...

    QF Platinum Recognition on flights

    Suggest a re-read : in the quite - I used the word "less" not "only" I have also since edited it to be more accurate in my intentions - even there I don't use the word "only" Also, a Greeting that is not required is likely to be genuine compared to one that is required.
