Thus my surprise when the points for her upgrade came from my account. It seems the upgrade was applied as if we were on the same booking

I am SG, and my partner is PS. Because of differing last return legs, we had to make separate bookings for our upcoming DRW-PER-LHR and LHR-MEL-DRW trip. The bookings were linked so we would be seated together, and I was told that is was impossible to link the upgrade requests. Reading through...

A few months ago I was in the back of a medical retrieval plane (B200) with a patient who had arrested just before landing in Darwin at about 400ft. The pilot, while landing, managed to get the tower to plot us a quick route to our hangar. I'm told our taxi was just below take-off speed with a...

I see in the news today a Russian bomber flight near the UK caused regular traffic to have diversions to their route. The Russians were flying without a transponder, would you be able to "see" them? What is the difference in performance of active and passive (not sure of the correct...

Right on the nose, so to speak! Decided that a better nights sleep would be had in zone A. Much as I would like to try the UD, it will have to wait. Thanks for all the help. About to get on the SAA A330 to joburg, so it will be interesting to compare cabins... I suspect the QF offering may...

So rows 1-4 are the old F cabin with F seats, and the UD will be old style not quite flat J seats. Might be worth changing my selection from row 16 to row 4!

On the Qantas seat selection page it is showing: 1ABJK 2,3JK 4ABEFJK. UD: 11,12,13 ABJK 16,17,18 AB Only 4EF available to me at this stage on the nose section, I have 16AB on the UD.

UD 16 is presently held by me :) If this is an older plane fit out, will zone A be old style F seats? I would rather a F seat in a J cabin than a J seat upstairs! (I have flown qf f on a older 747 and j on a380, but never j on a 747. Never flown UD on a 747 either) Edit: if someone...

I'm a little confused with new vs old cabins. I am on qf64 on 21/10/13, and am trying to choose a j seat for me an my other half. UD row 16 looks good, zone A 4EF also look nice. What would ff'ers recommend?

I've seen a few photos of the coughpits of modern passenger jets, and I have a question about the controls... Obviously there are the autopilot, land and take-off buttons, what do all the others do? :-) Seriously though, thanks to all contributors, this is a fascinating read.

I'm wanting to travel to LLW from DRW in October. LLW doesn't appear on the QF destination list. What site is best to explore the travel options available? I would really like to avoid the 56h marathon webjet selected for me!

Decided to dig up my old thread... I would seem that booking through QF will require at least an extra 10 hours travel time, with most options being via SYD or MEL. The QF booking system doesn't provide any options via SIN with JQ. I used the multicity tool, I got a quote for 13000 return in Y...

Thanks Watching and waiting will be the plan! Fingers crossed for a DRW - DXB service...

For the last few years I have enjoyed the Darwin to London route. JQ to Singapore and then join QF9 for a pleasant J class sleep. A whole lot quicker than going via other Aussie cities. Now the QF metal is going via DXB, what are the choices out of SIN? I'm guessing there is very little chance...

I wonder what will happen to us top enders? We have JQ to SIN, no real hope of getting a service to DXB is there?! Guess that will have me stuck on BA metal for the SIN LHR leg. Roll on the 787 Dreamliner Darwin to London direct route...

So, as a PS there is no point in me preselecting seats?

I've just completed a trip from Darwin to Melbourne, via Brisbane. All in J booked as an ASA. When preselecting seats the only available was 3C on the 737s, and similar rear of section for the 767. On one of the flights the entire row 2 was qantas staff in uniform. Another flight was a missed...
