Thanks everyone for the replies am glad to see the situation would have annoyed other FFs. I did not try and gain access to the QF F lounge in Sydney, was not in the mood to try and argue the case with the person at reception, instead I ate my fair share of gelato in the J lounge and tried not...

It is missing entirely

After deliberately moving a fair chunk of travel from VA to QF over the past 6 months, my last trip should have qualified for QF Platinum (1,400 status credits). My last trip was to Europe with Qatar in J, which had four sectors. I returned 2 weeks ago from Europe and after chasing QF...

Lounge is nice and functional. Internet speed is great, better than the EK lounge in Sydney but I have found the food quality in the BKK lounge a bit hit and miss.

My favourite points transaction was when purchasing a new car. I did have the help of a not so smart sales person at the car dealership. We agreed on the price of the car, I paid a reasonably large deposit on Amex. Work then decided that we would lease the vehicle. So I played dumb and when the...

Last year on a SYD to MEL trip, I was booked in J on the A330. Aircraft got swapped to a 737. Virgin contacted me the day before the flight, informed me about the change. They gave me a $250 travel voucher and a free upgrade for my next trip. They also kept me in J on the 737. I thought this was...

I was thinking about if you could create the ultimate premium flying experience (first class) using the best parts from each airline you have flown with, what would that airline be emulating? For me: * Lounge: Qantas first class lounge Sydney * In lounge relaxation: Massage, Thai Airways...

Breakfast was very enjoyable. I didn't ask about the spa bookings as I only had 45 minutes in the lounge before my flight to ZQN. There were a number of Wallabies in the lounger having a bite to eat.

Well, I made it in without any drama's, the lounge is packed this morning. I showed by F boarding pass from EK (flight I just arrived on). They did not ask to see the boarding pass for my outbound flight. The fact that the lounge is packed and all staff are busy may have assisted me. Now, to...

re: The view from my "office" EK and SQ are my favourite offices in the sky....

Thanks for the replies cmon0005 and opusman, I will give it a crack and report back. Worst case, EK lounge in SYD is still a respectable place to hang out for a while......

I am flying into Sydney with EK in F. I then have a 2 hour wait for my connecting flight to ZQN (with Qantas in Y). Does anyone know if I will be able to access the Qantas F lounge in SYD whilst I wait for my connecting flight to NZ? All flights were booked on the same ticket (Sold as an EK...

I have done a fair bit of flying with EK over the past 12 months, on many diffenent routes, such as: * SYD - AKL * SYD - BKK * BKK - HKG * BKK - DXB - ZRH * ZRH - DXB - SYD * SYD - CHC Most flights in J, some in F, a few in Y. I have always experienced good service from EK, across all cabins...

I would like to see a conversion rate for excess status credits to be converted into frequent flyer points. For example, you need 800 status credits to re-qualify for VA platinum. If I earn 1,000 status credits, why can't the 200 status credits be converted into points, which I can then use for...

Looking forward to SYD-ZRH in suites come October. I like suites on day flights, give you the best oppertunity to take in the whole experience and try the fantastic food and drink on offer.

No idea, have never had this happen to me before. Best to call SQ and ask.

Hi K3nnis, On my booking confirmation / itinerary from SQ, M flight last week said Boeing 777-300 as the air craft type. My next flight with SQ (booked for a few months time) states Boeing 777-300 refitted. Both are the same flight (SQ242), so I guess that is how you can see if it is the old...

Hi k3nnis, The one thing that SQ drives me crazy with is multi class bookings. I have flown SYD to BKK via SIN on a few occasions with F for SYD to SIN and then J SIN to BKK (as there is on F on the BKK sector). Everytime, it takes me 30 minutes on the phone with SQ to book but once I step on...

I fly SYD to SIN on Saturday (SQ242). I am not nervous however from a selfish perspective, would prefer to know what caused this incident before Saturday.
