Wow Qantas, This is just plain ridiculous penny pinching. Did they think at all about the passenger? No taking a sip and putting it into the seat pocket. Skull and go? I felt like I'd just been given my play lunch at kinder. Although it's better than the MEL/PER last week, where we got none...

Hi Credit card gurus! lil' help please :) So for a long time i was on the old EDR WW mastercard and was happy as a clam. then they capped etc. so ditched it. The got a citi siganture card and was also happy as a clam and now it is being capped. So where to now? I have quite a bit of...

Hi all, arriving into BKK at 2300 on JAL in J and leave on JAL to NRT the next morning at 0810. (Fare on BA to Japan was cheaper to use it as a stopover and have a turnaround point in BKK) Just wondering if anyone know any lounges that are open I would have access to to have a snooze in, (if the...

Hi all, of late I've been really disappointed with EK, my last 4 flights I've had 2 stone cold inedible meals in J, a busted seat in F and staff that are pretty ordinary. The flights last month left me unimpressed as well. Their 777 J product is really substandard these days and everything just...

Hi all, I've rather unusually managed to score a day free of work when in Beijing in a couple of weeks. What's the best way for me too see what I need to see? Get a driver/tour guide for the day? I'd rather avoid the tourist traps, for example if we're to see the wall, I'd rather avoid the main...

Hi AFF'ers. Ive got 5 free family tickets (valid for any session) to the Brickman Experience in Sydney these coming school holidays as a bit of a thanks for AFF being so awesomely cool in helping with everything flight related. First 5 people to reply can claim them. (the tickets were offered...

Logged in to check my latest activity summary and see this: I must say im pretty excited, not only have I never parked in Adelaide (haven't been there in well over a year) but now im losing points! maybe i needed to park there to retain points? ;) Either way i have no idea whats happening...

Hi All, Over the last week I've had a couple of colleagues from overseas down here and they asked me what is the one single best thing to do here in Australia (as they only have 2 days up their sleeve) which got me thinking, what was my one greatest favourite traveling experience/moment I've...

Hi Aff'ers ok, ill admit it, im a noob, a noob when it comes to all these fancy fang-dangled fares you guys and gals keep on finding. Anyway i saw a great sale mentioned on Facebook, the BA ISALEAU fares which looking in EF finds the following rules: V FARE BASIS BK FARE...

It's that time of year again everyone, how much have you flown this year? Last year showed there is a few amongst us who practically live on aircraft! It was a great thread and gave a great insight into life as a road warrior. I've taken my last flight for the year so thought id share what my...

Hi AFF brains trust! We have decided that in 2015 our family vacation will be in Japan, probably in the June/July or Sep/Oct school holidays. At this stage it will be about 10 days give or take, and we have some questions! Last time I was in japan was about 15 years ago and kids were certainly...

Family holiday coming up later this year and have a black spot in our itinerary in early December and I'm thinking of filling it with 2 days in WAS and 4 in NYC (mrs reload and the 2 reload jrs has never been to either) So suggestions around accommodation are most welcome, we have friends in...

Hi all, I have one night booked and paid in a decent Sydney hotel (Which is non refundable/changeable) and I wont be able to make it - Change of work plans. It seems like such a waste to cancel it? What do other people do in this situation? Cop it on the chin? Give it to a co-worker/relative...

Hi All, bit of a scheduling issue, I need to get from NOU to CHC on the 11th of July (arriving anytime before 8am on the 12th of July) My issue is that I don't arrive into NOU until 8am on the 11th (and coming via sea and wont be able to get to the airport before 10am) thus missing the SYD and...

Hi all, Total wine buying novice here, I'm in the market for 2 bottles of 2008 Penfolds grange (the birth year of our twins) as a non wine drinker I've got no idea the best place/way to purchase to earn QFF and get a good deal. I'll be a WP1 in a week or so I'll score an epicure membership...

Hi all, Just thought I would share a little luggage story with you. Flew MEL-BNE last week and my Black Tumi hard case of course came out near last but this time for a reason, the handle on the side had broken! With luggage tag stuck in the side of the bag. So I went over to baggage services...

Hi All, Anyone got a favourite J seat on the Emirates A380's? how does the exit row at 23A/23K go? Seatguru rates them, but wondered what the real world thinks ;) thanks in advance!

Hi All, im sure this has been asked before but after poking my eyeballs out trying to find out I couldn't see the answer. I have a voucher from a cancelled trip, and went to use it for a MEL/SYD/MEL red e-deal and the fares that it came back with were silly; $209 each way. So forgetting that I...

Hi all I need some help. I'm stuck in HKG airport. My flight from PVG on KA was super delayed and misses CX135 to MEL. Sat on PVG Tarmac for 3 hours. I'm in W class, the clowns at the tsfr desk want me to fly home on Sunday via ADL in Y. Claiming all flights full. Can someone with EF access...

Hi All, Quick question, is it possible with QF to fly from MEL to CHC without using JQ? Timing wise the QF website for the 18th of July only throws up the JQ flight which is abysmal in terms of timing. JQ171 2335/0500+1 Whereas on the 19th of July QF have a flight from SYD to CHC 0715/1225...
