the new economy plus seats have a lot of legroom. They feel like the exit rows

Shhhh . Let’s never mention that again

There is certainly no less room in row 4. And taking down the J divider changes the appearance. But now my legs are happy in seat 5 with IFE available from boarding on a small scratched screen

We got a phone call towards the end of lunch that required us both to get on the phones. We didn’t want to be loud in the dining area and left. I did take my bubbles with me. I suspect you could go back to the restaurant for a top up. But why make it difficult ?

We went in yesterday as WP. We were on the 1pm flight to Sydney. . The lounge is nice and fresh. The chairs are not that comfortable. We asked what time the restaurant was opening and were told normally 12 but sometimes a tiny bit earlier. The gate ladies said that we should be able to get a...

We through Y from AKLSYD yesterday.. we are both WP and were automatically seated in 5B and 5C. We switched to 5A and 5C. On boarding we noticed that the division between business and economy has been removed. Row 4 has a generous amount of legroom but still has the issue of the entertainment...

I am in the planning phase. We thougt we might use the QF DSC promotion, so that only works on QF metal. But it is becoming more tempting to break the golden handcuffs. I am not a fan of EK old 777 J class with angle seats. But DXB-GLA is scheduled for a A380. I could sit in the bar then get...

Thanks for the help . So I can pay 8k, sit in Y, not even PE and hopefully get a warm greeting by the CSM. Safe in the knowledge that QF are keeping J seats spare for an emergency. At least we can enjoy the luxury of LHR-GLA in the glamorous BA infra-Europe J. Or fly on EK via QF. Or start...

Hi We are looking to fly AKL-GLA around 30 May 26. Then return around 26 June The QF website basically makes you fly EK. The cheapest option by far. If I choose QF1, its an extra $1900 AND Your flight from Auckland to Sydney will be in Economy. Your flight from Sydney to London (Heathrow)...

NZ Herald had a puff piece on new lounge opening officially opening next week. Is there a prize for the first AFF member to do a report? The Herald also said QF would be starting year round flights from AKL to Samoa and Gold Coast with J seats available to Gold coast.

The IB was in T4s for a flight to Morocco on Royal Air Maroc. Later we had the 10pm EK flight to DXB. That was in the Neptune lounge. As we had flown in early from Rome, we got to the lounge around 5.30pm and it was quiet. It then started to fill up. By 7pm there were no seats and a line at the...

The Madrid non Schengen Iberia lounge had an amazing range. You could try the bottles with gas to stop oxidation, or try many beers, some on tap. There is wine on the bench and in ice buckets and a temp controlled wine firdge if nothing open tickles your fancy. Then there was the man wheeling a...

It will be interesting to see how the new lounge looks and feels. I hope its stunningly good. But I always remember that old news comedy "Frontline" when they brought in a new set designer to give all the improvements that were "needed" not wanted. I think S1E4 In this case we need a champagne...

Are there different security areas at the Int side for peope getting the QF transfer bus Vs catching the train? I thought that getting the bus often had a a quicker security line at the Int teminal.

Look at the bus to Hahndorf. No moaning in public, nice lunch, trouristy shops and then home here is a direct bus departing from Stop K1 Pulteney St - East side and arriving at Stop 55 Mt Barker Rd - East side. Services depart every 30 minutes, and operate every day. The journey takes...

We flew RAK-MAD-FCO recently. All running to time on entry to MAD but then we had a lengthy passport control line ( the machine readers that worked so well the week before were now all wrapped up for a siesta). We then had to get to the transfer train and finally power walking to the gate where...

The Mrs and I were in OPO-MAD on Iberia/ Aur Nostrum. We had e boarding passes, the check in desk wasn’t open so we went straight on and finally found the OPO lounge down by gate 35. We went to Baird with gp 0/1. The e tickets didn’t come up as priority. “Boarding “ was just getting into the...

That’s the one . Post brexit memories of the Empire

Sorry, image didn’t upload. It is like the Qantas retro planes
