    The joy of alcohol on planes

    I'm surprised no one has quoted David Boon's record of 96 cans SYD-LHR!

    Entry to USA

    When entering the US under the VWP, you can use the kiosks at DFW and LAX to pass immigration much faster. If you have a specific Visa for entry (as I do) then technically you need to line up with everyone else. A faster way around this is to go to the kiosk and when it asks you the question...

    Name that airport!

    "Bogan" is the best idea ever. It would count for most use :-(

    The WP shadow

    Getting back OT I am chilled here in Boulder, Colorado with a few quite lovely Blue Moons. Maybe we should have a break out thread for those of us who are chilled about the WP shadow and what we up to in order to soothe the pain?

    The WP shadow

    Reading this thread and I think I am mistaken for the United FT forum. Get a grip guys and girls.

    From 'alert' to 'alarmed': terror threat level has been raised from medium to high

    Re: From 'alert' to 'alarmed': terror threat level has been raised from medium to hig Business as usual everyone. Thankfully Australia will see very little difference to current security levels. Maybe an extra check here and there, that will be it.

    Premium Lounge at DFW

    And lets not forget there is the "waiting to be developed" Terminal F that is currently a parking garage. Given that AA are bringing online quite a few 777's with real international F, combined with the AA and US consummation, QF & EK 380's coming online, then BA upgrades to the 380, CX...

    Honestly, what is the point of Platinum One?

    Whilst not being P1, I had an amazing customer service experience in Canada with US just recently. Service I gratefully accept as OWE... My partner and I (both WP) flying YUL-PHL-DFW to connect to QF7 to SYD, separate PNR's, US YUL-DFW and QF DFW-SYD. On check in, we advised the agent that we...

    QF Upgrades - Successes or Failures (post results)

    Re: QF Upgrade Success Rate Currently 4/4 on QF 7/8 from PE (T class) and Y (M class). Only had a text message once and that was in the US to my US cell. The other 3 I found out by checking MMB at T-23. The most recent QF7 on Sunday the only two seats together were row 7 in the middle, ok...

    The Operational Upgrade Thread

    The Best Part of Flying?

    Hurtling down the runway in a CR2 and the MD80. I really love sitting up the front and feeling the power of the engines up the back.

    Confessions of a Qantas Flight Attendant

    Just downloaded and have read about 50 (iPhone) pages. This has to be one of the worst pieces of cough ever put to print. Sure his story might be of interest but wow, the writing is atrocious.

    Dallas/Fort Worth Transit Times

    Australian E Passports should be able to use the new Orange immigration machines at DFW starting some time this month. It's new and DFW is the first port to introduce it. Similar to Smart Gate in Aus. Means you will no longer need to line up with everyone else and go straight through, so the...

    AA or US First Class?

    Given the choice, go AA. US, from an "in cabin" experience is still operating as a separate airline with all of the OW benefits thrown in. AA will give you a proper meal (as much as that means in the LOTFAP) and wine out of a real bottle. US will give you basic beer and spirits and the snack...
