Ah; you’re right. The person in the middle seat of row 10 opposite and behind me is short so I didn’t see him.

No, I’m on the 9:15 flight. All the Y+ are full, but the next couple of rows behind have empty middle seats.

I’m on a Perth to Sydney flight this morning. All the Economy Plus seats are taken, even the middle seats. I did choose an economy plus window seat, but should have stuck with my previously selected row 10 seat, as I’d have had an empty seat next to me.

Curious to see that the economy plus middle seats are priced the same as the aisle and window seats. Are people paying for those or is that to increase the chance that premium pax will have an empty seat next to them? As a gold, I see that there are still one or two economy plus window seats...

This is what packing cubes are for and they do the job well without needing a vacuum. I use packing cubes whenever I travel -- even if I don't need the compression, they keep everything much better organised. If you use vacuum bags, how do you get them compressed? Do you borrow a vacuum from...

Is there a way to tell from the seat map which seats require you to put hand luggage in the overhead lockers and which allow you to keep hand luggage beneath the seat in front? I'm all for extra space but I don't choose bulkhead or exit rows unless it's a long-haul flight, as I like having easy...

I’m on a flight right now. We were told on boarding that the wifi was down, but here I am.

I consider this practice somewhat corrupt. Most people who do it are hoping for special treatment and from reports we see here, they often get it. If you must give a crew gift, give it at the end of the flight. A better way to make someone’s day: take the trouble to report good service to the...

It’s the first time I’ve seen these pods in the Canberra Qantas Club. As a solo traveller, I like them. Comfy chair and a fabric-covered sound/privacy barrier that helps take the edge off the noise without being too closed off. The little table swivels to your preferred position and there’s a...

I also have long hair and wash my hair daily. I agree that conditioner is essential -- I've never encountered a hotel conditioner that was any good. But most hotel body washes are fairly simple and have the same ingredients as hotel shampoos. And most hotel shampoos are fine. There was a Choice...

Are they the same brand and product line? Different brands will have different formulations.

Body wash and shampoo are the same thing. Most places provide two separate bottles, but look at the ingredients: it's the same thing with different scents or colours so you think it's different.

Contact the hotel to request it. You will probably need to pay for the night before, but if you book the night before and don't get in touch with the hotel to let them know about your 7am arrival, there's a danger that they'll flag you as a no-show when you are not there the previous night, and...

I’m with those who can’t sleep in Y anyway, so I appreciate the full meal services. For snacks, I’d prefer to go to the galley to get them and not have them handed out early to clutter the small amount of space that I have and get knocked to the floor when I toss and turn.

I use the hotel shampoo but bring my own conditioner and moisturiser. I have sensitive skin, but the shampoo is fine for me -- and there was a Choice report a while ago where they'd tested and found they were all pretty much interchangeable. But good conditioner makes a big difference, and I...

I take my thongs in a plastic bag in my hand luggage -- though mostly for using in the lounge showers along the way. When I get up to use the toilet during a flight, I just slide my shoes back on if I've taken them off.

I guess so. Loyalty damage control.

Just received this:

I have a flight this afternoon and received a text from Qantas just after midnight: I clicked the link out of curiosity (and in case it got me a seat on a less crowded flight at a convenient time), but the page said that the issue had been resolved and the option was no longer available. Anyone...
