    The QF Response to a pretty terrible flight attendant

    After complaining to Qantas some years ago about running out of food in J (and being told there was no such thing as customer complaint form on board) I've given up bothering. Running out of food still occurs with monotonous regularity in J ( thank the gods I'm usually seated in row 1 and so...

    Airports a hotbed of germs and filth

    or you could just use a hand towel to open the door and then drop it on the ground. I can't understand why they don't put a bin just at the door to put your door opening towel in. The state of the airport toilets in BNE was the original reason I joined the Golden Wings Club..way back...

    Pollies Lose their Flight Perks

    I regularly see local pollies flying economy between BNE - TSV. Which, as a J flyer I find a good thing, as I don't have to overcome my overtired almost home grumps in order to smile and engage in dull conversations about cricket with some member for somewhere or other. I'd be very surprised if...

    Even celebs are grossed out by fellow pax

    No you're certainly not alone...in recent years I have taken to flying with a packet of wet wipes, which, much to the amusement of neighbouring pax, I use to wipe down the armrests, TV buttons etc. I also always take the table out and wipe it down. Once I stared doing this I noticed a marked...

    Pax on QF72 planning a class action

    *puts hand up...* I always leave my seatbelt on except for when visiting the ..facilities.. I also pay attention to the FA and safety demo. Next thing we know some yobbo will have a go at suing for negligence cause they weren't held down and made to watch the safety demo... And I'll sue the...

    Qantas contracting packaging work to cheap prison labour

    Australian companies have a long history of corporate philanthropy. Many of our large public corporations have both disability education and disability employment strategies in place. I have participated on both state and national charity boards and know that many corporations not only make...

    O/T Anyone ever had a Lounge to themselves?

    I've had the BNE QP to myself several times. I often find myself on the 7:30 flight up to TSV on a Saturday night. I don't like being there by myself..makes me feel like sad git that can't think of anything better to do on a weekend than sit in an airport...but after a week in SYD..I'd crawl on...

    Unlucky Qantas passengers could be delayed

    The conspiracy theorist in me would like to think that perhaps all the QF engineers have been getting the odd brown paper bag with little DJ stamps on me....compliments from n news.....:shock: ...It's joke, Mavis..it's a joke....:lol::lol:

    Police called in to guard Tiger staff after cancellation

    Lots of businesses do this. Furniture retailers are notorious for it. I recently had some "words" with a furniture store manager after being told if i didn't buy and pay on that day they wouldn't guarantee delivery until "probably around Easter"...and that was in September. I'm not trying to...

    QFF Luggage Range - thoughts/suggestions/reviews?

    I love my qantas smartpack roller carry on (I know that sounds slightly sad, but I'm a simple man:cool:.... I bought it online about three years ago (from memory) and confidently stuff it full happy in the knowledge that as qantas sold it to me as a carry on I won't be challenged at the gate. I...

    QF Economy Urination Policy

    The front toilet for J pax policy has been around for quite some time, although only sporadically enforced. I feel quite sorry for the FA's in this situation as they're trying to enforce a airline policy and maintain the value for their J class pax while at the same time trying not to offend...

    Man tries to open Qantas door on descent

    I'm reminded of a similar incident late last year when I was on a Qantaslink flight TSV - CNS. Fellow tried to open door after landing whilst we were still taxiing. All credit to the FA who handled herself well and got the fella back sitting down. Unfortunately after disembarking and walking on...

    Domestic Inflight meals

    I have to agree that by far the hot breakfast in J is the best, I have a particular fondness for the eggs Benedict (I just love the plastic sauce):lol:. Although I usually forgo the toast as its always hard as rock and utterly inedable IMO. Theses days I quite often take the cold option (after...

    Sofitel Club lounges-What do you get?

    I've been an Accor Advantage Plus member for the last 4 years or so and regularly use the Sofitel Club in BNE and SYD. As I am always travelling alone its nice to sit somewhere comfortable, quiet with other people around instead of being stuck in room with nothing but an overpriced minibar for...

    Glass Bans

    I wonder what would happen if you had a 4am flight and got stuck in the QP cause it was after the 3am lockout!:shock:. Plastic glasses indeed..where is greenpeace.. mind you they'll probably have us drinking out of tetra pacs next..like little mini gooney bags..:lol: I agree that just a weeny...
