    MEL - how busy will it be on Boxing Day?

    Although the peak should have passed, you won’t find it a ghost town. Many people are still beginning their summer/northern winter holidays and not all of them are going to the cricket.

    Does MEL T2 still require LAGs to be in plastic bags?

    No. Everything (including the allowed LAGs, laptops and tablets) can stay in bags.

    Aussie passport cost increases again!

    It’s probably an ‘easy’ source of revenue - the government (of any persuasion) will say if you want a passport you can afford a holiday or work pays for it. Even when it’s not that simple.

    Complimentary/Operational Upgrades on OW flights

    Yes we received an upgrade to J on MH MEL-KUL when I was QF gold. I was shocked and happy, given I wasn’t an MH elite and there were two of us. I assume it was an op up.

    Old Q Tags available at lounges

    Good move handing them out imho, some really value them and otherwise QF could have just wasted throwing them away.

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    I like that theory, I also seem to have two tracking numbers. And yes I know the ROI on retaining P1 versus a set of pyjamas that’d be easily bettered by something from Kmart but it’s all about the status chase for me, in my last year of P1.

    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    I feel sorry for FAs on the frontline, especially if their culture is associated with ‘the customer is always right.’ Surprised he also didn’t demand a bear… or a cake with a bear coming out of it…

    Article: Let’s Talk About Airline Meals on Overnight Flights…

    I’d add that for those of us with status, we might well be full after lounge hopping before the night flight and possibly less inclined to indulge in food onboard.

    What are your air travel micro-hacks?

    Don’t underestimate the power of aircraft and hotels in creating amnesia - never leave a passport, cable or phone in a pocket or drawer thinking I won’t forget that, it’s so important, or it’s only for a sec… Odds are you will forget.

    Article: Airport Disease: Enter Airport, Exit Manners

    Seems a case of when you can only do 10 things at a time and the 11th one hits, you regress to the basic lizard brain. Like talking to someone as though they’re a simpleton will help and you no longer have situational awareness. That agent probably went home and vented on a WhatsApp chat that...

    Article: Airport Disease: Enter Airport, Exit Manners

    Some people are just jerks, no apology or placation will work and they’re best given a very wide berth.i suspect they’re the same driving, at the supermarket… Airports can be dehumanising places even for frequent flyers and exacerbate the stress or anxiety of travelling and coping with crowds...

    QF Platinum Recognition on flights

    More international (regardless of aircraft), but don't count on them coming down to Y to find you. It's not consistent. Domestic it barely happened even transcontinental on the 787.
