    Brisbane dinner - 20 January 2026

    Oh, you should have mentioned you were coming before I called the restaurant earlier to update the numbers! ;) Hopefully they’ll be able to add one more seat for us tonight. See you there.

    Famous people seen (or even met) whilst flying or lounging

    Probably because I booked the last J seat about a month ago. :p

    Brisbane dinner - 20 January 2026

    Thanks everyone. I've made a booking at Wu Kong for Tuesday, 20 January at 6.30pm. They've informed me that it's possible to split the payment at the end (i.e. each person pays for what they ordered from the single bill). The booking is in my name (Matt Graham). See you there! I'd say that's...

    Brisbane dinner - 20 January 2026

    I'm not sure - will try to get an answer before the event, but if everyone is indeed able to order & pay for their own food through me&u that would be quite convenient!

    Cathay now also bans OW FF from pre-selecting seats

    I just booked a CX paid Y fare on the Cathay Pacific website, entered my QFF number at the time of booking, and was able to select exit row seats for free (I have oneworld emerald). Cannot change the FF number now, though.

    Worst (international) business class seats

    I'm surprised the TK 777 J seats didn't get a mention. It's 2-3-2 and the middle seat has absolutely no privacy.

    Jetstar when booking on Qantas points

    Which cabin class? If Economy, I think it's a Starter fare with 20kg checked baggage included.

    UM issue highlights systemic VA decline across all areas - will it get better?

    I agree that they should have turned up earlier. I equally think it's very poor for the VA staff to tell a paying customer "go away and find some other way home". That isn't really OK.

    Article: Once-In-A-Lifetime or Feels Like Home: How Do You Holiday?

    I agree that there's a fundamental difference between places you go to see, versus places you go to be. Sometimes, a place that you intended to go to only once to see the sights can also become a repeat destination. Kazakhstan is very much in this category for me. I went in with zero...

    Brisbane dinner - 20 January 2026

    Good to see that there's a good amount of interest from the BNE crowd :) I plan to make a booking with the restaurant in the next few days. If you haven't yet RSVP'ed or so far have only replied that you're a "maybe", and you would like to come, could you please let us know in this thread.

    Cloncurry Airport temporarily closed

    What are the chances this airport actually reopens on 1 February?

    Cloncurry Airport temporarily closed

    Cloncurry Airport is closed until the end of this month after monsoon rain a couple of weeks ago damaged the runway. Resurfacing works are underway now. Qantas is rebooking passengers to Mount Isa, 120km away, and the TSV-CNJ-ISA flight is skipping the CNJ stop for the time being...
