    Singapore - to Marina Sands Bay or Not?

    I stayed there for 4 nights or so not long after it first opened. I loved it! This is one of my most favourite hotels. You have to have a room facing the city, it is a unique view.

    If only there was status for the security queue

    Let me clarify. It was at CDG at the final scan point before you go down the ramp to the aerobridge. It made no difference to Y+, he simply didn't like the fact that other people were being given preferential treatment I think.

    If only there was status for the security queue

    Perhaps now they are all over Dubai, everywhere else gets neglected?

    If only there was status for the security queue

    I think it's just peoples mentality. I equate it to when you are driving on single lane open road. You'll be in a 110km/h zone and the person in the lead is travelling at a consistent 100km/h, passing lane comes up, you go to overtake and before you know it the same person is travelling at...

    If only there was status for the security queue

    Unless you have a minder, I don't recommend this. Even with an AF staff member I almost got in to a physical altercation while boarding the plane. Mr Y+ wasn't happy being made to wait.

    If only there was status for the security queue

    I find they quite often amalgamate the lines into one general line. But I don't pass through there that frequently.

    If only there was status for the security queue

    My company pays for/is given a service with AirFrance that to me is the ultimate in security line status. The Distinguished service treats you as a F pax despite only being in J. A host meet you at the plane Usually on a golf buggy they escort you to F lounge If you pass through security...

    A good way to store luggage in Paris

    Good idea! Currently I have a bag at CDG while I am skiing in Europe. Prices aren't too bad, but it would be a hassle dropping the bags off then heading back to Paris. Quite a smart solution!

    Priority boarding on QF domestic - what is the story?

    Yes an experinece I had recently that tops that of the QF WP trick. This was in CDG (Paris), my company provides me with the distinguished service on AF. Someone meets you at the plane (in the aero-bridge) and will guide you through the airport literally skip to the front of any security line...

    Priority boarding on QF domestic - what is the story?

    I find only some flights people follow the instructions. Usually the business orientated ones like BNE-SYD. I love the looks people give when you waltz straight on to the plane while they are 100 deep in line...

    28,000 status credits

    Surely at that level you should get a CL invite!

    The WP shadow

    Love the shadow, I find on most domestic flights, the seat next to me will be one of the last to go. I do SYD-SIN on Qantas regularly now and it is rare that there are spare seats in J, but again, if there are I will usually get them next to me.

    Interesting Lounge Access Experience

    I went in to the T2 lounge the other day with my grandad who was flying jetstar. Even though I wasn't travelling that day they let me in (QA,WP) which was nice. Sent from my GT-I9100 using AustFreqFly

    Helloooo

    Hi everybody I'm a long time lurker, I have been using this site for the past year or so with great success. It amazes me how much knowledge is here, some members clearly know more than most airline workers. I fly Qantas with work (exploration driller, mining) and have managed to get to WP...

    Ban the hi vis gear in business lounge!

    Thanks I am a long time lurker. I see a lot of elitests in here. Personally I couldnt care what others wear. Ever since i was a kid i was told not to worry about others. Some fluro is hardly going to change your lounge experience. I do agree that us miners can get a little roudy at times...

    Ban the hi vis gear in business lounge!

    Wow what contraversy over clothes. So much snobbery. I am a FIFO miner and sometimes if i'm rushed somewhere there is no chance to change or I need to go directly to site. I am WP, are you saying I should not be allowed in to the J lounge, even if i am WP and flying J on account of fluro...
