To be honest, I was pretty tempted to have a word with the passenger today. But then I took a deep breath and figured it wasn’t worth risking creating an enemy when we hadn’t even taken off yet. I don’t think he would have taken my “feedback” well. Curious what others think about the best...

Condor is starting BKK-HAK. https://www.aeroroutes.com/eng/260202-defeb26hak

Yeah, not my favourite thing either, but that flight is usually not full. I had a whole row to myself. Same on the United flight, actually.

Sometimes the sense of entitlement people show when travelling astounds me. After boarding a Cathay Pacific flight, the older gentleman sitting in front of me in Economy flagged down a cabin crew member and simply said “You normally give me a bottle of Evian”. No please, no thank you, just...

QF or SQ would be the main options, both with one stop but easy enough (and you can often book with points). For something different, last week I flew BNE-ROR on QF and then ROR-MNL on UA. With 3 days in Palau along the way. Was great (even if both flights were on 737s)!

A Qantas 737-800 is currently en-route from Cairns to Hong Kong

Mine arrived on 8 January with the activity date listed as 31 Dec.

And now permanently EI-nded (as of April).

I don’t think booking a connection will help you earn Velocity status any more, unless the fare is higher (or you’re booking through VA Holidays) ;)

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

SIN-DRW will switch from an early evening departure to a redeye too. :confused:

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.

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.

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...

VA1217 CBR-BNE, 12:20 departure Had the patatas bravas, which was fine. Other option was a pasta salad with optional chicken.

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.

What are your five qualifying flights?

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.

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.
