    Still waiting for a JQ Itinerary after 11 days!

    I booked a 3K flight online on 26th Jul and still haven't received my itinerary. I'm also on Gmail. I tried the resend button on their website and got nothing so rang them up. They guy on the phone said he'd send it twice to my Gmail and twice to a work address I gave him, but I still haven't...

    Your Favourite Airline Ad Past and Present

    Ansett NZ The Film Archive - It's a Sellebration | They don't make them like they used to I was actually looking for the "I gave them to the pilot, and he threw them out the window" one where the guy discovered he'd taken his wife's car key with him on the plane. Or something along those...

    Odd things you find on a hotel website/webpage

    I was on an Air Niugini flight earlier this year where the pre-recorded safety spiel specifically mentioned needing to turn off 'word processors' for takeoff and landing.

    Very interesting, thanks.

    Ask The Pilot

    I was on an Air NZ 744 last year that did the most smooth, gentle landing I've ever experienced on any plane. Even the cabin crew commented on it. I've been curious as to the factors that made it so notably different to any other landing. Would it have been a fluke, or was he the best pilot in...

    Qantas Club membership

    But NZ's not as big as Australia so it shouldn't take as long to find me! :p

    Qantas Club membership

    What's recent experience been like for delivery of the card? I've been a QP member for over a month now and am yet to receive my card. My silver card has turned up, which I qualified for a few days after signing up for QP. Should I be alarmed, or just be a bit more patient? I have a NZ address...

    Air Niugini second 767

    The F100s to CNS I've been on lately have been standing room only - full of Japanese tourists. Now I make sure the travel agent gets me on the Qantaslink Q400 with far more room to spread out.

    Air Niugini second 767

    I notice on PX's latest timetable the 757 has been replaced with another 767. Does anyone know its lineage/specs and whether or not it's been delivered yet? I heard a rumour it'd been delayed and haven't seen the usual overblown delivery ceremony photos on their website yet :D. Interested to...

    Careers/Jobs of Frequent Flyers

    Engineer doing FIFO at a mine site at the moment. I have wanted to ask a similar question as the OP. I am particularly intrigued, after having looked up a few members' ba97.com flight logs, why some work travellers only spend an hour or less at their destination. I've mainly noticed it on NZ...

    QFF - Silver pre flight seat selection

    After a bit more reading, I am confused as to how I even managed to pick a seat online as a lowly bronze QFF in discount Y. The Qantas website and a few threads on here tell me it should only be available for silver and above. I was none of those. Will have to test this again on my last flight...

    QFF - Silver pre flight seat selection

    Is that just domestic 737 or TT too? I was able to select 8/9 AKL-BNE-AKL on bronze and could've done better if I'd picked a seat beside one that was already taken. Flights weren't overly empty either.

    Air NZ Domestic Overzealous Check-In

    I am able to change flights online (providing it doesn't cost more than the one I bought) after I get my e-Ticket but before I check in. Check in seems to happen without warning after choosing a seat and selecting email confirmation of seat selection. After this, I am no longer able to change...

    Air NZ Domestic Overzealous Check-In

    Whenever I use the self-check in booths, I end up with a boarding pass for the trip back as well as the flight down. I also get caught out some times after chosing a seat online when I click the 'send email confirmation' button, thus inadvertently checking myself in. This means if I want to...

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

    The young, balding ginger :p Rudd came over and said g'day in the departure lounge. Was just travelling with one assistant who was giving him Christmas cards to sign.

    He had an empty seat beside him and the rest of the first two rows were his burly henchmen. :p
