Qantas is rapidly losing me as a customer- due to very poor service on 2 recent business class trips Cns to Mel and return on 737. Catering inedible, no choice of meal by the time they came to row 3, virtually no cabin presence from the crew (who on the return leg sat in the galley, masks...

I had an F booking for 2 (paid with points) in early april connecting through BNE -planned to overnight at BNE before connecting to homeand hotel booked and paid (lost out on that as it was non-refundable) Emirates didn't automatically rebook me - luckily there was still award availability...

agree with c'est bon - best service in Cairns and nice classic french, highly recommend Samgasat restaurant - sensational northern thai - BYO and well priced. It is a bit out of the way in Pease st (edge hill) , authentic and classy food , it's noisy and has basic furnishings - you'd feel...

He was well behaved on the flight, and seemed without attitude -can't hold anything against himfor that. His movies on the other hand......

Russell Brand a few years back, on Qantas LAX to JFK F cabin- he and a travelling companion the only other 2 in the cabin. I had no idea who he was but thought he maybe looked familiar. Sharing a cigarette later outside the terminal at JFK with a random teenager when she suddenly went all weird...

14 visits during 3 OS trips- spa treatments scored each time in Aus lounges and two very ordinary experiences at LHR - hardly worth the bother to book a treatment at the elemis spa. conservative estmate of 300mL bubbly or other wine each visit adding up to nearly 6 bottles of wine consumed -...

welcome back, from a lurker who has always found your input a valuable read

thanks for posting your experiences with RJ, and in Jordan. there are some pretty good J deals with royal jordanian i bagged a hkg-ist return in j class for under US 2700 on webjet.com there is a fairly long stopover in amman- but will certrainly look into one of these stopover deals on the RJ...

i am not sure what to make of this deal-and feel like it has forced my hand to request an upgrade when maybe an op-up was on the cards... i am flying QF93 mel-lax this weekend in an apparently quite oversold flight, i was hoping for the chance of a first ever international op-up but with this...

this thread makes for amusing but faintly disturbing reading.. i love flying but when you fly you in a lump of precious metal that spews poison to the upper atmosphere - who knows the long term damage that will be done?? you're soaking up the high doses of radiation up there, the cost of your...

for what it is worth JohnK I am certain that you have a lot of well-wishers and goodwill from this site and elsewhere. I have been a long time lurker and always appreciated your input on this forum, and am sure I am not the only one in this regard. Sometimes it is hard to appreciate...

sums it up nicely :p, cheers

Thanks for the quick reply Maca34, i think my question was a bit vague, so i'll clarify-- i'm assuming there will be no first service on QF30 injuly, as i was able to allocate a seat in the first class cabin- the seat map is a 4 class 747, and it is being sold with J/ PE and Y service only. I...

Hello all, A quick and trivial question for the forum- I've been lucky enough to preallocate seat 1K on a LHR - HKG - MEL flight qf30 in July. Am happy about this as it saves me forking out 60K for a points upgrade :) Does anyone know if i'll get the comfy lambswool doona to curl up in on...

got the offer- but like a few on this thread i already have enough bookings in that time frame to requaliy for platinum - so i'm unlikely to benefit from the promotion (registered anyway, in case there is a bug and i get double sc for existing bookings...:rolleyes:) last time i missed out (got...

my must-do sometime in the next few years is to sea-kayak around the rock islands of palau - it looks so beautiful. -not too hard to get to via guam, there was talk of a direct brisbane - palua service on a start up airline pacific flier- it seems to have folded though.

Finnair is about to open a premium lounge and spa facilities at helsinki, open OWE, from the website ( finnair.com/spa ) it looks like a pretty decent lounge offering equivalent to a first class lounge.

re: oakwood apartments shinjuku- short stays were ok when i booked with them last year (booked 3 and 7 nights) - i called there local booking service to arrange. In the US you need a minimum 30 day stay accordingto their website anyhow have fun planning :p

i've stayed and would recommend oakwood apartments shinjuku (reviews on tripadvisor) for about 13000 yen you get a (small) but really well laid out 1 bdm with kitchen, washer/dryer, opening windows, "balcony"- you can just squeeze outside if ur a smoker, and fantastic japanese style bathroom- a...
