That learning some of the local language is a must. Practising the correct pronounciation of key words, can surprise and delight the locals, and get them to open up, even in countries that are more introverted. I so agree with planning, planning, planning it really does paradoxically give you...

Definitely, although it feels incredibly disappointing how unlucky the timing is. This was part of a Birthday celebration trip for my dad, and I was so so looking forward to enjoying the EK F experience together. It was supposed to be a milestone reward for all the years we’ve been working hard...

Thankfully not worried about being stranded, as outbound leg was booked on another carrier and managed to change this for a future trip in January. Know how painful that must feel! Basically what we’ve been hoping, but as we all know very unpredictable times.

Sorry I should've added more context. This was the return leg back to Australia as part of a short France trip, had managed to postpone our outbound QR J redemption flights to January next year, that we were originally booked to fly out a few days ago. Travelling companion is very risk averse...

Am at a loss with what to do with my upcoming Emirates F QF Award booking for 2 pax CDG-PER departing next week on the 12th March, given the terrible developments in Dubai and the Middle East. Was hoping to be able to postpone the flights to January next year, but calling QF proved fruitless...

Good timing of this discussion, as I had the displeasure of seeing and experiencing similar 'incidents' this week from flying, two days in a row. But instead of just playing NPC, I called them out each time on their disrespectful behaviour in front of everyone. I'm sick and tired of seeing...

Am sad to hear about OPs experience, but I’d be doing the same as @Quickstatus : Zenning out as much as I can. We lack empathy for a society that is becoming increasingly stratified, I don’t blame people for sometimes being obnoxious honestly as this world is not always a happy genteel place...

Thank you for your responses, am pleased to say that my upgrade was successful, and even made the connection with enough time to enjoy the QR SIN lounge before my flight, with QF2 also delayed. Cabin crew were surprisingly so good on both of the QF flights. Cherry on top was being able to...

Thank you for clarifying! The Qantas website wasn't clear on what happens in this circumstance. And hopefully claim flex Y ORC DSC as booked if the journey goes sideways (also connecting through LHR in this trip!)

Have been trying to find out what would happen in the scenario of a successful J Classic Upgrade QF1 SIN-LHR if I misconnected onto this sector due to the late arrival of my connecting QF37 flight from MEL? Would I forfeit the points in this case during rebooking? All flights would be booked...

I would’ve thought the contrary, given The Pier has the delightful Rosewood set menus, which The Wing doesn’t have? How is it upsetting? The peanut sauce they use in their Shanghainese noodles is one of my favourites! Although it would be nice if they offered a larger serving in the F section...

Have booked on VA1978, good excuse to fly to Sydney with some flair! I like this VA initiative for a bit of fun, even if most of us here are expecting so much more in terms of an announcement actually worth the hype!

I think many there have well and truly left QF in the dust and moved onto other options by now

No different to Broome I guess... denied access yesterday 'cause lounge was full.

I really sympathise with OP that went through this ordeal, which the local authorities have really made a mountain over a molehill. It's probably given us all a reality check about how different legal systems work worldwide and how they're not as universal as most, even in countries like Japan...

Am wondering if anyone has an idea for when the PHE QF lounge will reopen? An upgrade was announced last year, but how's it progressed?

😂Am enjoying these responses, thank you to everyone for sharing your thoughts! 👏 Whilst I like to make the most of my opportunity relish the flying experience often, I can see why people would do it as well. Social media attention seeking aside, flying time is a great opportunity to meditate...

Agreed, just part of the race to the bottom for attention on social media I guess 🤷‍♂️

Friend just asked me at the airport earlier today whether I was going to start ‘raw dogging’ my flights. Would you or do you do this in your travels?

That goes without saying
