A lot of things go for breakfast in India. I suppose it appears like a slightly repackaged samosa, which can be eaten for breakfast. I assume if you had no choice, the yoghurt dressing would be on the side and easily put aside, or would need to be spooned onto the dish by the FA, so you could...

QF42 CGK-SYD dep 1950 a/c 332 For context, this flight arrives at around 0700h, and it's only about 7 hours block time; much less actual air time. One of the shorter "overnight from Asia" flights in the QF network (DPS flights are worse). The menu, which was available in Indonesian and...

I wonder how strictly Customs clamps down on the $900 duty free concession limit? Yes, AQIS is important to protect our ecosystems and agriculture, but there have been more noises in recent years regarding the duty free concession limit. I suppose cross-referencing TRS claims with electronic...

I think a lot of people have somewhat assumed that QF have always had a vegetarian option in Business Class. In fact, most airlines tend to "always" have a vegetarian option on the menu (even if it is just ravioli and sugo). Some people believe that, of all of the classes of special diets /...

Playing a bit of devil's here... but what happens to people who do not have a smartphone (e.g. a basic mobile phone, or no phone at all)? I know that sounds extremely dumb, i.e. what traveller doesn't have a mobile phone these days, let alone one that can access Internet services.

Is it too late to go Platinum here? Been a whirlwind of a few days - had a lot of family over, a wedding to attend, then about 2 days of travel.

So outsource the job to the company that implemented the systems in almost every other developed nation. What, we won't trust an international outfit with a job that handles critical national data? Looks like we barely trust the Australian outfits trying to do the job! Seriously (and I mean...

I accessed the QR lounge as a QF WP flying MH J (I assume it is the MH J that got me in, not the QF WP). Still there outside the D gates. It was my first time; a very nice lounge indeed (didn't try the shower).

I'm still surprised Qantas wasn't sued and fined into oblivion for this and its other major sins in the last five years. Had it been any other company, there wouldn't even be a Royal Commission or a Senate inquiry - the company would close and the bosses would all be in prison. Just goes to...

Are you condoning these idiots, or did you raise one of them?

Oh where do we start this morning...... Once you step off an escalator, move away from the escalator. Unless you want to be shoved down and trampled upon. Don't look annoyed at me for pushing you. This is not the time to take a selfie for update your live viewers. Paying for priority check-in...

Nope, boneless. Spare rib, bone extracted, floured then fried before coating in sauce.

Saw this on the wall behind the cash desk

So I'm in SIN right now but only for the day. It's not likely I'll be back before they close, so here's my tribute meal. The place looks a lot like what we in Australia would know as the neighbourhood Chinese restaurant. It's kept the same decor for ages, and it may not be glamorous, but it's...

Guess you'll just have to call. You'll have to do so and cop it anyway if it does happen, unless you're prepared to cancel and look elsewhere, because you're certainly not leaving your little bub behind 🙂

Well, not longhaul ones anyway, especially on the most popular routes and in premium classes. As the advice has always been - SQ get the lion's (pun intended) share of its best award seats, and even then they are virtually shrinking now thanks to Access awards. Getting any longhaul premium SQ...

This looks like tariffs, except in airline parlance. Hey, you want to fly the best J in the world on points? Lucky for you at Velocity you have access to some of the best (inventory wise). You'll have to pay for it for sure, but you want it anyway, right? I guess this supercharging is...

WCMO.... In Thailand at the moment and queueing seems to be a bit of a furphy. Say there are two counters selling tickets for an attraction. There's no tapes or ropes to create one queue per counter; in fact, there's no tapes or ropes at all. There is a line at the "first" counter (or rather...

I don't see BBQ pork ribs on the menu. I do see pork spare ribs, but it doesn't necessarily say they are BBQ'd, and I'm fair (fare?) gaming that they won't be, e.g. they may just be braised; the Chinese text doesn't suggest BBQ action unlike the BBQ pork also on the menu, which is the staple cha...
