WCMO is spilling half a tub of grated Parmesan while retrieving it from the fridge, resulting in using the dust pan, small vacuum cleaner and rags, plus taking out two vegetable crisper drawers and clearing the bottom shelf in order to clean out little dots of Parmesan. I'm certain I haven't...

Depends on the capacity of a train and how often it will be going. I'd be curious if the rail link uses standard rolling stock or dedicated ones that might be tailored for airport use, i.e. baggage racks and/or baggage nooks, perhaps seating along the wall rather than rows of seats in order to...

That's a failure all around, through and through. I get it that mobility assistance can sometimes be overwhelmed, and I doubt that Australia has suddenly grown a bunch of miracle passengers unlike in the US, but obviously communication was pretty poor (it's always communication, isn't it?)...

Shrove Tuesday joke: Someone just demanded that I cook up 100 pancakes pronto. I flipped out. 🙂

The best carriers offering non-alcoholic alternatives are the Middle Eastern carriers.... which maybe shouldn't come as a complete surprise as strict Muslims abstain from alcohol. A range of fruit juices, non-alcoholic grape juice (intended to imitate wine by including some acidity), wide...

The difference between cunning and stupid: https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1P3Bx8qHnS/

Sorry, should qualify: 1 pass given to @airlinemn ; 2 passes given to @dmgale

All passes have now been given away (recipients have been contacted by DM). Thank you!

I have 3 x Complimentary Lounge Invitations (2 from Points Club and 1 from Silver). Expires 1 Mar 2026. Free to good home. Should add: while I won't restrict based on active status or not, can J please ask all recipients to pay one forward (not literally a lounge pass - just do a nice favour...

The thing is, once you start travelling quite a bit, hotel buffets all start to look much the same. One thing that the Western world has definitely exported to all corners of the globe is the standard hot Western breakfast of eggs, bacon/ham/sausages and toast. We've all seen it... so if that's...

Sure it's not a serious problem, and it equally should have a quick, simple and easy resolution to get rid of it and have a much more pleasant arrival experience. Even legitimising punching scammers in the face would be a very simple and effective solution. OK, jokes aside. So where do we draw...

As I reported a few posts previously, I flew QF42 CGK-SYD recently and got the breakfast options just like our fellow member here flying from DPS: raisin muffin and/or fruit plate. Personally I couldn't be bothered with a full breakfast as a full dinner is served on a flight with a block time...

At least the version @MelbFlyer got has rice, although it doesn't look like nasi uduk (maybe in taste?). My morning fruit selection looks better (if that counts for anything). 😅

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...
