    Canberra AFF Dinner - Feb/Mar 2026

    Great to see you taking the initiative to organise something, @Ade. I’ll be overseas on those dates though, sorry.

    Qantas international Economy Class meals

    I think this is one of those routes. A crew member just went through the aisle to warn everyone to eat before getting on the return flight and to bring extra snacks because they only serve a small snack bag on the return flight and it’s not substantial.

    Qantas international Economy Class meals

    Seems so. I wonder if they have limited catering on board because they need the galley space to store the snacks for the return flight tomorrow? (There’s no caterer in Palau.) Still, for a 6-hour flight that’s not exactly cheap, I’m not impressed.

    Qantas international Economy Class meals

    QF165 BNE-ROR The economy meal options were pasta carbonara, a chicken salad with Japanese rice or an unadvertised vegetarian dish with tofu. The pasta was fine but I was still hungry afterwards. There’s no bread roll, dessert or any other accompaniments to go with the meal. Beer and wine...

    I also have PP... could pop into the Escape or Plaza Premium lounge and say hi on my way to the gate if you're around. Send me a PM if you like.

    AFF bingo

    Can anyone get five in a row? Can be horizontal, vertical or diagonal. 😛 I don't think I can with my flying history. Would be interested to hear the stories of anyone who can.

    VA's Audience Demographic

    There was a point where I stopped flying JQ for about 5 years, specifically because I got sick of being screwed over by their poor IRROPs handling. I eventually gave JQ another go, but never if I'm in a hurry to get to my destination.

    Article: Things Jetstar Does & Doesn’t Do Well

    This is a brand new article. I'm still doing a bit of freelance writing for AFF this year. The up-front seats still become available at T-80 for people without status. The extra-legroom seats require payment until OLCI opens at T-24, but that's not what I was referring to in the article.

    Feedback on my lounge sharing app

    The link you’ve provided doesn’t work for me. So, I assume this relies on the generosity of people to offer up their spare lounge guest spots within the app?

    Which FF program to use?

    Based on what you’ve said, going for Velocity Gold seems to make sense.

    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
