I normally fly QF, especially when flying with the family. We're a family of 6 (2 adults 4 teenagers), and whilst I'm the only one with status (QF SG / OWS), QF has traditionally welcomed in my entire family into lounges even though the rules there are meant to be a max of a family of 4. Later...

Hi All, It's been a while since our last catch up, usual place (Maddies at Kingston Hotel), usual time (starting 5:30), 21st of June. Let me know if you're able to make it and I'll book us a table.

So I've booked a quick overnighter to AKL on the 16th July, and I'd love to meet up with other AFFer's for dinner whilst I'm there. Thinking dinner at Tony's Steakhouse on Wellesley St at 7:30pm on Saturday 16th July, (Tony's Steakhouse » Tony's Wellesley Street). (I've been going to Tony's for...

So for those who know me also know that this is pretty much my fortnight from hell. Me and my immediate family all tested positive for COVID the other day, and we had a death in the family. I had flights booked with Link Airways for later this week. Last Wednesday I called them up when it was...

Over the years I've been fairly critical of VPN's as "security" for travel, well here is a perfect example of why -> ACCC takes court action against Facebook over VPN service One of the big problems I have with VPN's being used for "security" is that they where never designed for that purpose...

Have people been able to cross state borders for shared parenting arrangements? I have a friend who lives in the ACT, but his kids live in Victoria. He is supposed to get his kids over the school holidays, but he hasn't tried since the lock-downs came into effect. He's at this stage working out...

So a few months back, my previous Hong Kong suit finally gave way. I purchased a replacement suit jacket off the rack from a men’s wear store, and a new shirt from K-Mart. The next day I threw out the K-Mart shirts and went back to the men’s wear store to purchase a replacement shirt. This was...

Hi Melbourne Peeps I'm going to be down in Melbourne on the 20th September, and would love to catch up. Staying in the CBD, if people are free on the evening of the 20th for dinner I'd love to catch up.

A few of us CBR'n's are meeting up for dinner on the 18th May @ 6:00pm at Kinn Thai in the Canberra Center. If you could let me know by the 17th so we can adjust our booking accordingly. See everyone there :cool:

Re: Ask The Pilot. Over the last couple of days there has been talk about circular runways. Any opinions from pilots? Think again: Will circular runways ever take off? - BBC News

A work colleague of mine commented the other week that I obviously earn way too much money since I am always traveling and have done it in the higher classes (not much by AFF standards but a bit by normal person standards). I offered to explain to him how I do it and after about 2 minutes his...

A colleague of mine recently flew to Ireland using Ryanair. When he went to check in he was asked if he had an Irish Visa. The guy behind the counter first offered to sell him an Irish Visa for £15, however the guy then decided he would let him off without needing to purchase one this time (this...

My passport is about to enter that lovely stage of 6 months out from expiry, literally the week I depart on my next RTW trip. On this trip I am transiting in DXB. Whilst all the information I can find online states that I will be fine, I can't find any official source stating transiting with...

I almost feel like asking QF if I can have what they are smoking... Just received an email from QF about their USA sale, $999 return for SYD-LAX / SFO / DFW, seems like a very good deal. Change the departure city to CBR and that price goes up to $1,870 = SFO, $2,020 = DFW, $2,070 = LAX. QF...

This is a follow on from a discussion I had with a colleague of mine this morning. On an average flight, how many people are likely to have status on average? I realize that certain times and routes are more likely than others to have status pax. The way I see it is there are two sides to this...

Hi, asking for a colleague, what is SQ equivalent of T-80? He is a no status flyer whom is wanting to select seats on an upcoming flight, there are 3 of them flying however there was no row of 3 available to him. Is there something like T-80 for SQ where all not yet taken seats can be...

Day 1 - CBR - SYD - LAX I arrived at Canberra airport much later than normal. Normally for big trips like this I am on the first flight out in the morning. As I am a member of AFF I knew exactly what the check in agent said when she said "looks like you're in W class" my upgrade had come...

Well after me purchasing a GPS last year with the intention of taking OS, only to have it break on me half way through, I've decided to use my phone for GPS on my upcoming trip. I've been looking at options which do not use mobile data to work (so maps are pre-downloaded), I've come across one...

So I'm booked on a BA flight later (ORD-LHR) this year, it'll be the first time I've flown with them. Something that I'm normally able to do on OW airlines is free advanced seat selection (talking Y as a OWR), however BA is wanting to charge me ~$60 for the privilege, despite the OW site stating...

So the Mrs has given me permission to do a RWT trip a little later this year and attend a conference in Seattle, and visit the offices of one of our suppliers. Not 100% necessary for my day job, but this ain't going to hurt my career either. So I've started the planning, putting through dummy...
