If you'd been to T2 recently you'd be lamenting the loss of a decent terminal far more than the lounge. T2 is a coughhole. They're starting refurbishment of it now, but it's going to take 7 years!

I'm basing this on my experience only. I went to a few Supermarche''s in Reims and the wines there seemed to have varieties on them. I know less about Spanish and Italian wines (except a good Sangiovese or Tempranillo ;) ).

Re: Velocity internat J redemptions now totally scarce! The times i've called i've clearly been sent to an off-shore call centre (sounds like Philippines) but they've actually been very good. English skills are good and they are as frustrated with the manual booking system as we are. I have...

Maybe she'd come from this... Pauline Hanson fields attack from Aboriginal leader Murrandoo Yanner while visiting Cairns - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

Re: Velocity internat J redemptions now totally scarce! I see Scarbs79's point, but it's also possibly not necessarily an issue. VA's integration with partners is so abysmal, it wouldn't surprise me if it's just how it works (don't get me started on EY Awards and booking them over the...

Re: Velocity internat J redemptions now totally scarce! Communicate what, exactly? There is no actual problem here. Whilst I don't like the reduction in seat availability, they never actually published availability numbers on a flight-by-flight (or any other method) basis that i'm aware of...

I almost did MEL-SYD in my Mini JCW a few years ago. They're a lot of fun on the roads and highway cruising is a breeze (even with that one being a 1.6 T4, it got great mileage on the open road). Have a 2015 JCW now, which is a bigger engine. Not tried that on a long cruise yet, but will not be...

I work in the industry. There's no need to downplay, it's simply not there. You cannot compare AUD with USD. You have to take taxes (both state and local) into account, forex, and the type of cards they accept. As I mentioned, companies offer differenet pricing for different regions, in...

Honestly? No. I'm fortunate in that i've not had too many Shouty McShoutshout's around me (I don't tend to take train/bus etc as I drive everywhere). Seem to do well in missing them in lounges too.

Just start your own very loud call next to them... "Yeah i'm in the airport lounge and some incredibly annoying dipsh$t is next to me on his mobile yelling at the top of his voice." I'm sure that may have some affect:)

I deploy VPN's for a living so I know a little about them ;) Retailers not allowing people to shop from outside their country or not shipping to certain countries or restricting product availability or cancelling orders when they see foreign CC's or shipping forwarders, are commonplace. No VPN...

There was nothing to focus on. I've tasted better flat soft drinks than this red wine. I'm not a wine snob, but I do love specific varietals. Most the worlds major wine growing regions do specify varietals. Apparently the reason that the ones that AA was serving had such a mish-mash of...

It's Schlappig. I don't read anything he writes and think it's unbiased or very accurate. I trust the photos though but that's about it.

AA Domestic F took the cake. On a longer segment I was offered wine. I asked what the red was and was shown the bottle. It said "Washington Estate Red Wine". I asked if I could look at the bottle, which was handed to me to look at. The label on the back said absolutely zip about the type of...

Re: Velocity internat J redemptions now totally scarce! Just a note to all the people using EY as a 'bible' for award seats and saying to VA that 'EY is showing they are available', there is now zero correlation between EY and VA availability. It has changed recently. It used to be mirrored...

So I actually watched the episode last night. To be fair, the F lounge was shown for all of 5-10 seconds, and they said "the Qantas lounge is lush" or some such, but no actual mention of the class of lounge. No big deal IMHO.

I can see the economy one.. "This sir, is the 2016 Jacobs Creek Chardonay... it tastes exactly the same as the 2016 Jacobs Creek Shiraz, except it's white!" The article says it's 'upon request' and time permitting. It would depend on having an actual Sommelier on the staff too (I know the F/J...

I can't help but think the whole geo-location-pricing thing is a storm in a teacup. If you're in AU, many USA sites (such as Macy's etc) will default to AUD where yes, the price is higher than the USD equivalent. All these sites also offer you the ability to change to the US site and be...

With all due respect, you are asking for special treatment. Qantas have a clearly defined method for processing upgrades, based on people who have (in theory) spent the most for them. They're not going to risk pissing off a P1/WP/SG/PS by denying them an upgrade and upgrading a NB. As others...

Which company though? All of the ones i've had work on a 24 hour 'day' not a calendar day. If you exceed 24 hours, they charge by the hour until it reaches the daily charge (which is typically only a few hours anyway so it's largely moot). In the first case most places would be 1 day plus three...
