Thought there could be a place to note changes in food/drinks/seating etc in the various BA lounges around the world. To start, I was surprised to see a hot breakfast (or any hot food) in the GVA lounge this morning at 11am. Bacon, scrambelled eggs, mushrooms and baked beans - usual croissants...

Trying to claim status credits for finnair flights in December. The reply I got was "Not all economy booking classes are elligible for status credit points to be credited." I have not come across this for finnair and believe this to be incorrect. Can anyone confirm or correct my understanding?

Morgan Freeman lands faulty plane en route to world premiere of movie ‘Ruth and Alex’ at Toronto International Film Festival A little surprised you can still have a pilots license at this age, but I guess you can drive a car :)

Was very suprised to learn that you only get free beer and wine on weekdays between sydney and melbourne. I am confused why you would dilute a premium product with such penny pinching. in any case i made up for it in the F lounge on way to Europe, and I did get a 'would you like another ginger...

:lol: Is someone playing a joke on Qantas? Google search results show Jayne Hrdlicka as CEO instead of Alan Joyce | News.com.au Or is qantas playing a joke on us, lol.

Somehow they put inspirational music together and made flights look like sperm. Cool video! NATS video shows the flight paths of thousands of planes in the North Atlantic | News.com.au

Do you leave a tip? interesting thought that a tough landing in cross wind might get no tip.

Curious, with all the apparent churn from qantas why there isnt a dedicated subforum?

Or is it just me that gets a giggle from the flight plan picture in this article :) Airbus A350 flight test review, photos - Flights | hotels | frequent flyer | business class - Australian Business Traveller

After the baggage system it outage on friday, was very glad that OW status gets fast track through security. Lines were so bad at T5 that they were using busses to get people off planes and drop them at the end of the terminal so they could join the line at the right place. i regularly fly...

Hi All, after some advice on a great melbourne restaurant. Think bucket list type, similar to tetsuya's in sydney. I will be in melb this weekend and want to go somewhere great before i head o/s for a few years...

Ok, so maybe note xactly a status run but i am curious if anyone has some nice routings to maximise sc earning to europe. This will be self funded, so not too fussed how long it takes but would like to travel in J if i can find a nice route. Thinking finnair from asia at the moment, positioning...

Looks like some ATC equipment has broken down (ba.com/heathrow.com) causing many flights to be delayed or cancelled. Make sure you check before you go to the airport, and understand the EU compensation rules to know your entitlements.

Hi - currently tied into QF point earning CC's (and thanks to this site have booked a great 280k oneworld business class one world fare for myself and my wife next year). However from 1st Jan planning on moving to Switzerland. At this stage Im thinking of still staying with the OW alliance. I...

In QF lounge in HKG. Can't get VPN access to my corporate network to work. Internet works well (why can't Sydney learn something from this...). Think I have read previously that there is some proxy or something that restricts access to VPNs. Anyone found a way around this?

Am I dreaming - I can get a free exit row on Cathay simply by ringing. OW Ruby and up get this privledge - save $100 a leg. I've not been able to do this with Qantas (as silver). Is it a gold benefit?

Interesting thing happened yesterday. I achieved QF Gold on 9th July for the first time. Was a QC member, but flying out on CX next weekend was keen on getting the card before I left. So I rang qantas and they said the card might be dispatched next week - or if I wanted to pay $30 they could get...
