    A "Thank you" to AFF amid Corona.

    This is perhaps a different or strange thread. But in these times I think it is worth it. We, as a society, have entered a bewildering era of lock-downs and “social distancing” and so forth. Life has truly changed in the past two months in ways that none of us would have imagined. So many of us...

    China - what is actually the reality there?

    Hi all, with the news now completely overloaded by coronavirus stuff, I am wondering if any in our AFF community know anything about how China is progressing. It seems the rest of the world is divided into a few baskets - those that are making a decent fight, like Australia and Germany and...

    What is China's plan to come out of lock-down?

    Hi all, yet another thread for Coronavirus: It appears, on the figures available, that China has managed to almost completely stop the spread of CV within its borders. An amazing achievement, especially given that they are such a densely populated country. And almost certainly something that...

    Help me :) A different request from an AFF wine lover......

    Hi all, was pondering in which thread to post this, but decided it didn't really fit, and may be nonsensical, so easiest to create another thread, even if just to outweigh the pandemic of Corona things.... This is complicated - let me explain: I drink a lot of wine. Really, lots. (This is...

    General Coronavirus chit chat thread - non-travel specific

    Hi all, I think this whole corona thing is big enough that it justifies many threads throughout AFF - as per those that have been created specifically to cancellations/modification of travel, the corona racism thread, Qantas and status, etc. But as AFF is my preferred means of generally...

    Qantas - what will Coronavirus mean in the medium term?

    Hi all, There are quite a few threads about dear old Coronavirus/2019-nCoV/SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19 relating from everything to disrupted travel plans to panic buys of dunny paper to status freezes. What I wanted to hear from members is their opinions on what this pandemic and its effect on travel...

    A chance to reminisce - who remembers the "old days" of Travel?

    Hi all, I start this just through a sheer personal feeling, but I thought it may evoke tender memories in those on the forum that have been in the game for a few years..... In my life time air travel has truly changed. I am not really old, yet certainly not young, and the changes in my...

    Dan Murphys "Decoded" - allowing us commoners :) to make easier choices!!

    Hi all, not sure if this thread/post will be of much interest here, as it seems the prolific AFF posters in the wine sub-forum are well above average in their general wine knowledge, but I wanted to share it as I think it is a really sensible idea by Dans. Confession - I spend way more time in...

    Project Sunrise gets massive support boost due to Corona virus

    Just a disclaimer at the very start - I have used the current "click-bait" accepted decorum when deciding on a title - ie it is deceptive, there are no actual facts to substantiate anything, but if I get pressed I could worm my way out with fluff.... But there is a serious side to creating...

    Can't access Flight Tracker

    Can anyone help me with the following problem: I used to use the aff flighttracker all the time, with no problems. For some months now though I cannot seem to access my own profile. The following screenshots show the loop I am in: When I click on the "My Map" link, it then takes me to...

    Happy New Year!! :)

    Hi all, just sitting in my quiet home office, listening to the bizarre combo of rainbow lorikeets displaced by fireworks in the night, and drunken youths bad mouthing in the streets. A competition to be more raucous. This is truly the current Australia :) Happy New Year everyone :) Juddles.

    Tasmanian Tigers, or Devils.? A shocking trip into the deadly and unknown....

    Hello all, it is with rather a heavy heart that I write this, as my mind is filled with dread….. Some of you would be aware of my eternal battle against Evil – in 2019 exemplified by my close call in outwitting the evil Botanist in his attempt to destroy Chile. This path of righteousness and...

    Merry Christmas everyone :)

    Hi there all, It is with much love and sincerity that I wish every single member of AFF a very merry Christmas :) I initially engaged with this forum due to travel issues and such forth, but very quickly became enamoured with the opportunity to interact with such a wonderful collection of...

    Has Climate Change "reporting" reached "End Game'?

    The whole Climate Change rage these days is clearly not specifically an aviation thing, but I choose to post this thread as the AFF community has a wonderful and deeply talented pool of opinions on all things. And so I will enjoy all sides of any feedback. Let me start by clearing up one...

    Platinum One P1 Christmas bubbly - what will you get? :)

    Hi all, each year as a P1 member Qantas has the habit of sending out a bottle of bubbly - usually a nice one. It is one of those un-specific perks of the status level. Given we are now heading to the end of yet another year, I was wondering what and how this all goes for AFF's P1 members. I...

    P1 = $XX,xx_ spend - ($xx_ xmas champas + $XX gala event + "bragging rights" + phone number)

    Hi all, just nearing end of year which is also end of my recent P1 run. So contemplating. Being a FF geek and enthusiast, it is obviously a hard thing to go down a rung in the status ladder. We all aspire to climb, not descend. For me this will be P1 to .... anything less. Am trying to use...

    Qantas health and share price - do I smell a rat?

    Hi all, this thread was born due to a sequence of thoughts that were triggered in my head whilst reading the thread on "Does anyone know how many Qantas Platinum members there are?" As some will know here, I often defend Qantas. And I am certainly not one to believe in conspiracy theories and...

    Tanami Desert and a jaded P1

    Hello all, have decided to attempt a Trip Report for what is for me an unusual trip. It is a domestic thing (ie within Australia), where I am flying down to Adelaide to meet up with a friend with whom I am doing a desert driving expedition. In advance, I write lengthy posts. If you just want...

    Why do we hold unreal expectations of Qantas??

    Qantas always gets many comments and feelings. We have within the forum everyone from basic pax to Qantas pilots. Having watched these perspectives over many years, I get a sense that Qantas is somehow special. Despite it being a true independent company, there seem to me to be many opinions...
