    Is this the new norm? [Qantaslink Cabin crew won't ask passengers not to recline during meal service]

    Last month I did a day trip to Brisbane from Melbourne in QF Business. Since I was up at 4am and had a long day, on the return flight, I slightly reclined (maybe one third of the way) my 1F seat. To my surprise I was jolted awake and asked by the FA to bring my seat up so 2F could eat their...

    Well - tried it once, won't bother again

    I was so excited when VA J first came out. After status match and first few years of flying was seriously considering not chasing QF SC's to keep WP with both .... i think it was all new and exciting for the cabin crew and that made for an often extraordinary experience. The types of...

    The higher the status, the less direction some [think they] need to follow from CC?

    i've done 6 flights in the last 3 weeks and without fail, i have observed people with their phone or ixx_ on during takeoff / landing. was sitting next to a granny in J on VA last week and she discretely fired up her phone on final approach to text someone!! i think more and more people are...

    Can you upgrade to business from economy on points

    on the positive side, i think the hawaii fights are 767 with domestic style seats anyway ... you may get better value for your points elsewhere

    Bye bye VA WP ! Trap for new players re: ‘partner’ airline SC’s.

    A few months ago I notice I will be 120 SC’s short of retaining VA WP with current travel plans. So I book a full first class ticket on the Delta website LAX-YVR-LAX, get issued with Delta itinerary, delta flight number etc. But of course I now discover it doesn’t earn SC’s, only ‘Delta...

    Has anyone had success with the call-up "Marginal" xASA's?

    re: Has anyone had success with the call-up method for "Marginal" xASA's? not too far ... unfortunately extra $$ has always been a trade off with asa when minimising points use.... the points earn, eligibility for upgrades and status credits make the extra cost worth it, for me at least.

    VA Electronic Device Policy

    in my experience you get about 15 minutes more usage of devices on VA as they do the devices off announcement closer to gear down, whereas on QF it pretty much happens as soon as the flight deck ask for the cabin to be prepared for landing. makes a huge difference to have that extra bit of...

    Book JASA Now - Upgrade to FASA Later (SYD - LAX)

    if i were you, i'd get an expertflyer account and setup an alert on P class on the flight you get confirmed on in J, as well as a few days either side. once you see P availability, one would hope a classic priced FASA would then be available, you should be able to try and upgrade online using...

    Awesome Crew in QF 864 J 29 May

    Cc: QF Customer Care This week four of us went to Sydney to celebrate my Mother’s 70th. On our return flight we encountered the most amazing crew. On a short hop SYD – OOL with a decent load in J, the CSM (Jenny) effortlessly did service and still found time to write a lovely card to my...
