I came across this comment on another thread: I've thought about doing this previously but never followed through as it could make one appear pretentious and grandiose. Do you write to the hotel letting them know you're going to pop in? What do you write? Has it paid off with upgrades or...

So I have some friends from London staying with us for a few weeks, one being a expat kiwi and his boyfriend being a Romanian/Spanish mix who has extremely limited english skills (and I mean very limited). Whilst our kiwi friend was off doing work stuff yesterday, his boyfriend decided to go...

I'm planing a big drive around Europe that might stretch over 30 days, and I thought i'd best get some sage advice from those who may have done this previously. I was hoping of getting a car rental for the 6000km journey, but I wasn't sure if a rental car company would allow a one way rental...

As we welcome in the GLBTQI 'Christmas' for 2013, it got me wondering who will be in town to celebrate? Is anyone attending any of this weekends events?

Air Pacific releases new A330 flight details | flymefunky.com Who will be on the first service from Brisbane? I believe the first arrival of the A330 into Brisbane will be late at night, so not ideal for spotters :(

I thought I'd throw this one out to the AFF community because it has certainly caused heated debates in my social circles. When news reports say "avoid non-essential travel", what is the definition of essential? My example is below for discussion. My partner and I had booked flights into...

I was browsing through Wotif and Zuji (see here) and noticed that the Sheraton in Noosa offers a 'Sheraton Surprise' which will cost $656 for two nights and says: I know if that I book this, I will be rolling the dice as to what room I will actually get. My question is, has anyone done this...

Hi everyone, I will need to use a lounge in ICN for a trip to/from Europe from next week. I'm flying OZ in J but after hearing pretty cough things about its lounges, I'm considering using my PP card which can get me into the following lounges: Concourse A KAL Asiana Main Terminal Matina -...

Shhh... Star Alliance and luggage tracking bag tags? | flymefunky.com Would you be interested in getting some of these tags and how much you pay for the luxury? I would definitely be keen for these.

Life on Abercrombie & Fitch CEO's Corporate Jet | flymefunky.com So what do you think? My thoughts are that this is fairly typical of a CEO who wants things a certain way... if I fit the looks criteria, I'd love the chance to work on the jet!

Hi Everyone I need to plan the office Melbourne Cup event and I have a rough budget of $25 a bottle. Does anyone have any favourites for this price range? I have no idea about sparkling as I don't generally drink cheap sparkling. In terms of white, I was thinking the Huia Pinot Gris (might be...

Having been a staunch advocate of the Centurion card over the past 5/6 years here on AFF, the time has come to rescind my loyalty. At times I feel slightly sombre like status and dignity has been stripped away from me. But mostly I feel relieved that we are no longer getting ripped off by card...

Revealed: Air Pacific’s New A330′s | flymefunky.com What do you think? I love the cabin and the product. Much nicer than the current offering (obviously) and will ensure a more comfortable ride for passengers. Wouldn’t mind a stop in Nadi if I’m ever flying to the US - - hopefully Air...

Awkward Jetstar Pregnancy Bungle | flymefunky.com How embarrassing!

Hi Everyone As you may (or may not have) seen on the AFF Facebook page, there was a positive response to an organised get together here in Sydney. Now - us Sydney lot have been slack when it comes to events, and attendance has been marginal. Hopefully we can end this social drought by having...

Really quick question as I am interested to hear everyones position on this: SCENARIO: You go on a work trip for a few nights (crossing multiple timezones) and get home from the airport close to midnight. The next morning you need to go to work. Do you: 1) Go to work at the normal time, even...

We finally found a pic... thanks to an eagle eyed reader who tipped us off! What do you think? First glimpse of Virgin Australia's 'The Club' | flymefunky.com

New Fiji Airways logo revealed by Air Pacific | flymefunky.com I think it looks nice - i'm happy they've moved away from the over done island-style logo and colour scheme. I look forward to seeing the overall paint scheme of the aircraft!

I had flown with VA in Y+ many times so was looking forward to finally getting a SYD-BNE/OOL-SYD in business and testing the waters so to speak. What startled me though was the 'cheese platter' that VA presented to me on both flights. I recall seeing others moan about this in other threads, but...

My +1 and I are flying Asiana from ICN - LHR, and our friend is also flying the route on Korean Air. Her flight pretty much leaves the same time as us, but her arrival into LHR is more than 1 hour before we arrive. I believe she is on a 747 and we are on a 777 - would this make such a big...
