Hi Everyone 👋 Well after last getting off a plane in February 2020 from Copenhagen I am now getting on one again at the end of August 🙂 Heading to Sweden for what I call the Curly Olympics as it happens every 4 years. Now it may surprise some people but the photo in my avatar is not actually me...

Just got a call from Qantas and they mentioned that I'll be 70 SC short to keep WP this year.. (I've been neglecting the airlines as much as the forum it seems! Look to lose VA WP also if they aren't generous).. They offered to let me stay WP for 120,000 points.. I have LTG.. and plenty of...

The last two flights I've had with VA- PER-MEL and MEL-PER I have had upgrade requests in the system (waitlisted). I checked the seat availability and there were 11 seats available today, 2 hours prior to departure and still I was waitlisted in the lounge.. These lounge upgrades are of course...

Hi Perth I'm heading back to the wild wild west today and have the evenings of 9th and 10th free if anyone feels like catching up for a quiet bevvie or three?? Not inviting Penegal or unnamed so should be respectable this time ;) :) Hope to see you again soon! Uppy

Hello brains trust :) I am flying to the US at the end of January and I have a couple of transfers that I need to make.. I have a conference at Long Beach but on my last day I need to see a client that google maps tells me is around a 2.5hr drive from Long Beach, meet with them for a couple...

Hello Just noticed that my SQ flights MEL-SIN are in a 777 not an A380 :( Expert flyer is showing J to be full... My flight back is a 777 also... Travel agent said that SQ has withdrawn A380s from Australia... does anyone know if this is true? Thanks :)

Hello I just checked my CC statement and it looks like I paid my membership twice... oops! Is it possible to roll it over to next year or should I get a refund? Thanks :)

This is my first trip report.. I've read the instructions and although I don't expect to reach the levels of some of our more experienced trip reporters I will have a few lonely hours in lounges and hotels this time round so I hope to give it a red hot try :) I'm heading to Switzerland this...

Might need to drink more to understand this kind of wisdom ;):D P.S. Don't think you're off the hook.. next time I'm in PER we are engaging in the "Education of Uppy in the world of Sav Blanc :p " tasting :)

QF WP, although you are probably looking forward to getting back to your family after a week of eating and drinking in Perth.. are you interested in an impromptu MaM in Brisbane City on Friday afternoon? I'm in the city for a meeting (maybe lunch if I'm lucky) but free after that... If you are...

I had a wonderful flight attendant (Jon) on my flight to Perth this week (QF485 Monday J) so I thought I'd start a post for people to talk about other fantastic service they have experienced either in the air or on the ground. I haven't flown QF to PER for a long time (the guarantee of...

Sorry for late notice.. have one ticket for Brisbane Good Food and Wine Show tomorrow. Can meet at the venue. Anyone interested???

I selected my seat (7C) when I booked my flight (in this case BNE to MEL) as I have done many times and printed a record of it. When I went to check-in they told me that they only had middle seats available. I explained that I had an allocated seat and they said that it "dropped off" and other...

Very disappointed with Starwoods best rate guarantee. Had a look for a room at the Four Points in Perth and found the best rate on the website was for a premium king at $344 a night. Looked on Wotif and the rate was $299 for the first night and $341 for the consecutive nights. Lodged a claim...

Free J class upgrade :) :) Fresh cherries at the breakfast bar in QClub Business :) Falling back in love with QF... If only there was champagne...

Hi Everyone Is it possible to see if an aircraft has skybeds when you book online? I always try and take A330s but only twice in two years have I managed a skybed... I like them so the goose sitting in front can't stick their seat back :) Thanks!
