    Death of the in flight magazine

    There wasn't one on my flight HAN-DEL I like to remove the answers page from each magazine, so they never have any closure. 1706807808

    Back on the flight deck

    Hi all, it's been a while since I regularly travelled for work and posted on here, as for a long period I was only doing domestic flights and the occasional OS holiday. I recently changed jobs again which will involve a few more OS visits to other countries, so I deceided to re-invigorate my...

    Famous people seen (or even met) whilst flying or lounging

    Probably wrong, but someone who looked extremely like Ash Barty in the QF Lounge in BNE on Thursday evening, June 24.

    What do WP do with credit card free lounge passes

    It's not just VA now that are doing virtual passes linked to your FF account. I received notification from QF that they are changing to virtual passes, but they can be forwarded to someone else (providing they have a FF account, and you have to notify the actual flight).

    Electronic lounge passes

    Qantas Complimentary Lounge Invitation - goodbye paper card? I'm Lifetime Silver with QF, and last year received the usual paper (one use) Complimentary Lounge Invitation. As I didn't have any QF flights planned before its expiry date at the end of this month, last week I gave the Lounge...

    Asiana Airlines - any advice?

    Quite happy with OZ. Last year flew them CDG to ICN, and prior to that a few times between MNL-ICN and ICN-LAX (all in Y). Clean cabins, good food and service and generally comfortable flights. Happy to recommend them.

    Another explore gold (Flybuys) offer

    Checked my Amex account (which I used to pay the Lounge Access) and it was showing a credit from Virgin for $250 the day after Explorer Gold, so I'm guessing that is it.

    Another explore gold (Flybuys) offer

    Did you need to contact them and request this, as only two months ago I renewed my Lounge membership? Now I have 'Explore Gold' it no longer shows my Lounge membership in 'My Account'. I was wondering whether this would just get lost....

    Another explore gold (Flybuys) offer

    I'm the same as in not receiving any email invite. I checked my account on Friday 15th June to find I had been upgraded to Explore Gold, and my SC balance had dropped from 407 SC's to 165 SC's. With the flight's I had done just before the 15th my SC's have now increased to 210, and there's still...

    Row 3 on the VA 737-800 and 737-900, very good isn't it?

    If you have paid for Economy X then the cost also includes priority boarding. The storage bins above also have prominent "Economy X" stickers on them, which is meant to deter the common folk from putting their bags there. The FA's are also meant to police it.

    Tips and things to do in and around Delhi

    Humayun's Tomb in Delhi is worth a visit (pic below). We did a Saturday trip from Delhi to Agra and had a driver take up there and back. We left at 06:00 and were in Agra by 10:30. Visited the Taj Mahal, had some lunch, visited the Red Fort then had a 5 hour drive back to Delhi. It is...

    No-Doz, The Driver's Friend.

    I feel I need to weigh into the debate here. The correlation graph that Princess Fiona posted is totally ludicrous and bears no relation to the findings in the case study. Fiona would have been much closer to the mark if she had used a true and factual correlation graph such as the one below...

    SYD meet (30 June 7pm) : Thai in QVB (Assamm)

    Re: SYD meet (28 June 7pm) : Thai in QVB (Assamm) Is that because you don't like Sydney people, or you prefer to talk to people who don't live in Sydney? :p

    Crossing the Tijuana/San Diego Border - Beware Dinner Time.

    The Ysidro pedestrian crossing from US to MX changed around 2010/11, and there is only random checks of people entering MX. Renato1 was talking about crossing from MX side to US side, which usually has significantly longer queues and everyone's paperwork is checked. This photo is taken from the...
