    QF37 to QF1 transfer in SIN

    Just booked QF35–>QF1 Excess time in SIN IMO is a good not a bad thing - plenty of oneworld lounges to leisurely work from… My biggest gripe with tight connections like this is not so much human misconnection, but baggage misconnection when there’s a delay even at an airport as efficient as SIN...

    Singapore Airlines Business Class Meals & Menus

    Flying out on SQ228 next Monday and was wondering if anyone has tried either the chicken or the garlic chilli braised barramundi from the main menu? I normally go with the lamb, but the accompaniments and jus seem a little, how should I put it, avantgarde for my tastes... Side observation...

    What I ate today - the food thread

    Mind you, it’s my first and last German meal. I can only stomach one on any given trip, then i’m right back to Asian food…luckily the Vietnamese food here is half decent 😅 Was totally famished in Vienna a couple of years ago I had to just switch to just eating dessert…there’s only so much...

    How does Marriott treat you as an elite?

    Status: Platinum Elite Property: Le Merídien, Hamburg Booked: Base room (7 nights) Received: Partial Alster Lake view room (was told if I had stayed fewer nights then I could’ve scored a full lake view room, but that’s the way the cookie crumbles I suppose..) Welcome amenity: Daily breakfast...

    How does Marriott treat you as an elite?

    Due to a misconnect due to QF delay I arrived at The Madison at 5pm the day after my original check-in date. Online check-in allowed me to check-in on the original date, and they processed my incidental room hold deposit on my CC on file and for intents and purposes had checked me in in absentia...

    Qantas DSC October 2024 Offer - book by 31/10/24 & fly 1/11/24-19/10/25

    Yep! Thanks, that’s very helpful. Just didn’t know what the precise term was for googling! ‘Original routing credit’ did the trick and the internet giveth! :)

    Qantas DSC October 2024 Offer - book by 31/10/24 & fly 1/11/24-19/10/25

    Apologies if this has been detailed elsewhere upthread or in another thread, haven’t been able to find an answer to this. Booked an open jaw MEL-DFW-IAD, ORD-DFW-MEL qf booking during this DSC promotion, just flown the outbound and QF22 was delayed which led to a misconnect to my QF/AA codeshare...

    Qantas Delays/Cancellations

    Got to choose between 3 hotels, I chose the one with the best google rating: Granted it’s not the US$614 a night Le Merídien The Madison with Club Lounge access I had booked in DC, but beggars can’t be choosers 😆

    Qantas Delays/Cancellations

    Credit where credit’s due - QF’s service recovery was really efficient, they’ve def learnt their lesson from prior debacles. Hotel and food/beverage vouchers sent to everyone, free airport shuttle etc all very seamless upon landing

    Qantas Delays/Cancellations

    Yeh nah, QF at least gave us decent advanced notice (4.5hr pre-departure). All good, seems to be going ahead (fingers crossed) and been rebooked on AA the next day (midday) and will overnight it in Dallas…debating whether to stay in town and get a decent meal in civilisation, or rawdog it in a...

    Qantas Delays/Cancellations

    Moved my flights over to QFF once Alan Joyce had left and I no longer had any moral objections with supporting QF. Was previously an SQ stan. Reasoned that a program with lifetime status is probably a better investment. Whinge incoming lol... Flights booked through work TA --> TA said QF hasn't...

    Qantas Delays/Cancellations

    QF21 MEL-DFW delayed by 5 hours and will misconnect on my AA flight to IAD. Hopefully it doesn't get cancelled altogether as I'm hanging tight and not looking at alternate options via other hubs! >_<

    How does Marriott treat you as an elite?

    I want to preface this brief Marriott Elite experience by saying it’s the best experience i’ve had at any Marriott property - after just coming from London, Madrid, Barcelona, New York and Toronto. I was born in hkg and am very pleasantly reminded just how amazing Asian hospitality is compared...
