Heya guys! I've been silent for a while but still pop in. Major factor was a change of job which meant I went from flying a couple of times a month to a few times a year. Frankly, it's a relief! I'm still interested though, which is while I still lurk from time to time. And have also made some...

Oh, that's very sad. Any link to news article available?

I work in a hospital, and measles scares are becoming more and more common due to 'alternative' parents who don't 'believe' in vaccinations. It's so frustrating. Whether or not one believes in vaccinations is beside the point.. the diseases we vaccinate for are real, and in many cases making a...

Not many details here, I wonder how far along she was. MH's policy says preggos are allowed to travel up until the 35th week of pregnancy. I find that astonishing! It's surprising in a way that this sort of thing doesn't happen more often...

Hmmm Priority Pass eh. Haha I'm such an amateur, hadn't heard of that before. Seems quite reasonable. Sounds like a good plan though, deejo77.

Don't know if this warrants a new thread, or if it should go elsewhere.. in any case... thought I would mention that while AY lounge renos are going on, only OW Emeralds and those flying J / F will be admitted into the Aspire Lounge. As a Sapphire (QF SG) I was told by Finnair staff yesterday I...

Whoops! Thanks Samh004 =)

Just saw this article about risk of catching ebola on a plane.. less than influenza.. but still another reason for good hand hygiene. CNN Article: What is the risk of catching ebola on a plane? Call me cough, but the first thing I do when sitting down on a plane is sanitise my arm rests and tray...

It's not worth it! Tried it for a year... give me a hot beef injection any day! :D

Great thread, I'm doing this myself in late Aug! Sauna, oh baby! :rolleyes: Reindeer eh? Sounds festive.

hahaha really? Wow.. consider me placeboed!

I use these Bioglan tablets, bought over the counter in Aus - only for jetlag. A friend was also told to take these (same brand) for insomnia (delayed sleep patterns) by a psychiatrist, so they must do something. Though perhaps the psych was banking on the placebo effect. :rolleyes: Either way...

Pardon my ignorance, but what is the fuel capacity on these 777s? Does diverting around the Ukraine make a huge difference on fuel? Does the KUL - AMS route consume close to the aircraft's capacity? If we are talking risk assesments, considering other risks (eg. how much contingency fuel the...

Thanks guys, that sort of stuff is really helpful to know! I too hate using the phone (too much time spent on the phone at work as it is), so I want to know that when I do, it will be worthwhile!

Over the years, I've seen a few posts where ringing Qantas has helped. I thought it might be useful for us to share our experiences of when calling Qantas made a significant difference to the options available to us online. Reason I thought of this is that as a Gold, award seat availability is...

Yes, I think I've only had one pilot on a CX flight in the past few years who didn't sound Aussie (he was British). Interesting comparison of CX / QF earn and reward, Anna.. thanks for sharing.

Interesting read, casanovawa.. Jakarta and Cinque Terre are both on my hit list, so great to hear the 'real' story of both...

Interesting points made here, everyone. I think a lot of us can appreciate your sentiments, Anna. Red Roo has been pretty scarce these days, don't you think? I feel sorry for whoever the PR people are behind that account - it must be a tough call to watch customer satisfaction hit an all time...

Maybe try using Tinder, Meet Me or Badoo apps for more candidates? Sorry if it's a silly suggestion but hey, they are for meeting people. I think it would be great if there was an app that was genuinely just about making friends or catching up with people, like distinct from dating... not sure...
