when i flew to TLV in 2005 i went SYD-HKG on QF and then El-Al the rest of the way. This seems to be the easiest way to get there. Something that no one has mentioned on this thread though is that is this is not the quickest way. Because of the security issues, ElAl avoids flying over Arab...

Westin Moana Surfrider for sure...coughs all over the Sheraton and Royal Hawaiian next door

i also got in with two guests on Thursday, despite the signs. Still packed as hell though because of the works. I left after 5 mins and figured that the general plebs area was better.

yes i did. and it would appear she has been misrepresented in the media (what a surprise!) and she receievd poor customer service from JQ. In fact, what Samantha says actually sounds extremely reasonable. my comments however were not directed at her. My comments were more related to the general...

'overweight' is completely different to 'morbidly obese'. i am overweight, and even lost 30 kg in recent years, so i was fairly large beforehand. But even then i still didn't flop my guts over into anyone else's seat. Nonetheless, your point about certain people having no control over their...

i completely agree with all the other comments here. the CX Wing/Pier is da bomb!

Tuapekastar has hit the nail on the head here. Consideration must be made to the needs of other paying passengers... And let's not forget, weight problems are a self-inflicted problem and little sympathy should be extended. I have twice had negative experiences having to sit next to morbidly...

QF009, i can't speak for other south pacific islands, but i was in New Caledonia in May. i dont recommend it. it wasn't bad, but hardly worth writing home about. as a few have mentioned, it is very expensive - even more so than Europe. the local beers and food are rubbish, so they have to...

Ala Moana is overhyped and is not much different from any old Westfields. And the Dole Plantation was one of the most boring tourist attractions i think i've ever been to In terms of food, the best i had in Hawaii was at Chinatown on the west side of Honolulu. all the tourists are 30 mins away...

this is one of the world's great mysteries! as a QF SG, i have never expected an exit row, so never worried about it. now in the last month i have scored an exit row twice - both on the ADL-MEL leg of a PER-ADL-MEL trip. both planes were full, both times i travelled in Discount Y and once i...

to be honest, i thought this program had already faded long ago. for many years now you've needed a $50K spend to get a toaster reward. so it hasnt been worth the effort. sure, some say if they shop at Coles or Kmart they pull the card out and get some free points. but its not worth going...

Mal, I would agree that for a 90 min SYD-MEL trip, the extras on QF are no big deal (except maybe the lounge access)... But i now fly PER-SYD-PER on a monthly basis. QF definitely provides better value for money on such flights and i disagree with you on the pitch issue. as a 6'3 rugby prop, i...

Less pitch, no meals, no drinks, no entertainment, and now baggage charges all to save $20 off a flight... whats the point? I got told the other day that i couldnt even get a glass of water without paying for it. what a joke Never again

i think its a bit of a mixed bag actually based on my experience. 12 months ago i was PS and always booked in Full Y for work purposes. Found that i couldnt get a seat past about row 8. Then my company instituted a policy that bookings must be in N only and i immediately found myself resigned...

i suspect most of us Sydneysiders would be happy for planes to land round the clock. its just a few NIMBYs who whinge about the noise. yet it was these same people who all chose to buy or rent under the flight path... w*nkers if you ask me

Etihad (if you dare)?

i was in a DJ flight a few years ago from BNE that was delayed by bad weather and it was touch and go as to whether we would make it in by 11pm. there was a fair bit of circling Botany Bay and then it struck 11, so the plane turned around and landed at NTL. coaches were hastily arranged and...

agreed. the d*ckhead thinks its funny the CL definitely didn't come up on his booking in the computer. i was there with him when it happened. not sure why though

virtually impossible to do a runner into a CL. they all have attendants who vigorously check, and they take your BP to hand back to you when its time to board i have never been in a CL for intl (not sure if they even have intl CL, i presume its just the F lounge) but domestically its not that...

there's one in CBR too. i've been in it. get to top of escalators, turn left and its on the right side of the gate which has the QP on the left
