    Overnight LAX Hotel Recommendation?

    Seems high to me, but I haven't overnighted often at LAX. I just picked a random mid-week night's stay for mid-July, and am getting Hilton LAX properties for USD 165-280ish. Only the ones in Marina del Rey/Santa Monica are showing more than that at USD300++. I just skimmed the rates, didn't...

    General Medical issues thread

    This thread isn't for our pets' maladies, is it? :p Joking!! The Teen has started doing some exercise this term - yes, intentional exercise, not just the occasional 1km alk home from the bus stop (when there aren't late activities at school or appts afterwards). Seems to have enjoyed herself...

    Do you leave a tip for hotel housekeeping?

    I tip in hotels in the US. We also tipped at the end of our cruise, our room attendant and our two servers. I really chafed at the tip for the Head server, because we barely saw him (he was in charge of lots of tables), and when he saw the Teen blanch at the plate of shrimp and grits she'd...

    The Qantas Newbie Questions Thread

    I ended up looking online when I was trying to find contact details. There was an online form for submitting a request for compensation for a flight downgrade. So I used that, and explained what I was asking for in the text box. Nicely. :) 🤞

    The Qantas Newbie Questions Thread

    I'm not a Qantas newbie, but figured this question works here. I was booked on QF1260 on Monday, along with my Teen. We'd upgraded from cheap Y seats to J on points at 19k each. (I didn't want to have to cook dinner when we got home). tl;dr - flight was cancelled after we boarded as the...

    Current F Lounge Menu (SYD/MEL) and relevant topics

    He knows. I think he figured it was a bit too early to be carb loading for his 150km ride on Saturday. :D

    Current F Lounge Menu (SYD/MEL) and relevant topics

    Mr Katie visited SYD FLounge yesterday and rated the Korean Fried Chicken as "could eat several plates". His Mum responded to his social media post with "leaves Camp Hill pub in the shade". 🤣

    New look QFF My Account page

    Does anyone else with LTG have their LTG showing on this new page? I'm seeing LTQP, but I never bought a LT QP membership. I'm LTG + WP. Just checked the Teen's account; it's showing LTS, but that's their only status.

    QFF Platinum requesting release of extra Classic award seats?

    I called again today, and talked to the same agent as yesterday. She said it's all confirmed, it's fine, and in queue with the ticketing team. She said that team prioritises on departure date, and this being November is lower priority. I think she told me not to worry and only call back if it...

    QFF Platinum requesting release of extra Classic award seats?

    Got an email this morning asking to call QFF about this request. I called, and Kate helped me. Her accent was not indicative of any particular call centre (that is, a different accent to one I'd expect in HBA, CPT,NAN, etc). Kate said it was all confirmed, except for the last flight. So I asked...

    QFF Platinum requesting release of extra Classic award seats?

    OK, the booking is now showing up in My Trips (hmm, in the app, but not online), but that last leg is still Requested. I have looked at EF and that flight is showing I0, but the next SYD-BNE flight is showing I4. Doh! Should I call the call centre and see if it's possible to change the...
