    ANZAC Day Protocols

    I can confirm that if you were an active or reserve member, that mixing of uniforms with civilian attire is not permitted. You however do not it into either of these categories. My advice would be to give due consideration to your service history, and the setting. I think your idea of having...

SO: In the interests of advancing science and answering this question once and for all, I have done some testing. (which I couldn't do this...

    New QFF membership cards

    Hi everyone, This week I received my new QP card in the mail. I immediately noticed that it looked and felt a little different. It seems to be thinner than the previous card, and actually feels a little fragile. The logo has been updated to the stronger QF font seen on the side of new livery...

    [Incorrect] 18 Jun VA236 flew QF747 metal ADL-MEL

    so had a look on flight aware, and at flights either side, all appears normal. I went back to my colleague and asked some further questions, including: how many drinks did you have at the airport? It would seem that his recall is less than perfect due to his "relaxation" at the bar...

    [Incorrect] 18 Jun VA236 flew QF747 metal ADL-MEL

    A work colleague this morning relayed a very odd experience he had yesterday. He flew to Adelaide for the weekend, and on the way back flew a Qantas 747 as a VA flight. -In flight entertainment screens were turned off but they had virgin wifi in flight entertainment. - The captain explained...

    merry Christmas from qantas... or not...

    Well I thought it was brilliant! I was going to let this slide, but since you've responded directly with a nonsensical argument... You seem to be unfamiliar with the concept of creating goodwill with customers (I'm guessing you're an "old school" businessperson seeing as though you think...

    merry Christmas from qantas... or not...

    Sooooo... basically you're saying it's Qantas' fault that you purchased from a litigious company who deliberately hobbles their products in an attempt to control the market? :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol: Caveat Emptor! Works fine on my Samsung Galaxy SII... :cool:

    Defence Force Lounge Policies

    Hey everyone! Here's a bit of a curly question for you... do Qantas allow military personnel to access the QP? I can't find any information online about it, however having been in america recently, I know AA does allow entry for uniformed military members (and priority boarding too!) I've...

    Upcoming Qantas Frequent Flyer Changes

    Just a general observation: For all the complaining of the vocal minorities here, there's going to be exponentially more people out there who aren't obsessed with exploiting the FF programs to their maximum. And these people will be platinums, golds and silvers as well, and I think the vast...

    Anyone heard of final-flights.com?

    It's terribly frustrating discovering this thread today after all the fun has been had... taking down internet scammers has become somewhat of a hobby of mine after my parents were scammed by a shady business. Kudos to all the well informed and skilled members for unleashing our coughnal of...

    OLCI - What's the point? Shocking seat selection

    Had an interesting experience with this tonight also... I was sitting reading and then remembered that T-80 was at 9am this morning. (it was 10pm) I'm flying with a mate BNE-LAX (also a QP NB) so I was hoping for 2 seats near the front, pref bulkhead as we're both quite tall. 27E and 27F...

    From talking to the agent, it seems that AA had adjusted their schedule generally since booking. (I booked back in Aug) I should think that several routes have been affected, not just the ones mentioned. It seems that both the itineraries mentioned involve AA hubs (LAX, DFW, ORD, JFK, MIA) so...

    Can I obtain a US J1 student Visa with my criminal record.

    Ah excellent! Be sure to throw in the obligatory "they have a tough job, and i respect them for that" catchphrase. If your record is quashed, you should be right for a J1, even if the failure to produce ticket stands, it's the assault and obstruction of an officer charges that wouldn't sit...

    Can I obtain a US J1 student Visa with my criminal record.

    Embassy of the United States - Arrests and/or Convictions That's the official line from the US embassy. I work in an industry where we send thousands of people to the US every year on J1 (cultural exchange) visa's, very similar to the J1 (student). It depends on many things, including which...

    I called AA australia and enquired. It appears to have been a schedule change. I'm flying into LAX on 25/11 QF15 ex BNE and was originally planning on flying AA2242 to DFW @1145 ==> AA848 DFW to ATL @1405. (december ATL>DFW>LAX sectors unaffected) My flights were not booked as a...

    I'd be interested in hearing how the OP got on with this, as I've just noticed that my aa flights in nov are showing the same sort of thing.
