    Dirty Business Class seats

    Dirty seats, I would call that better than the broken seat I had in first DFW-SYD (booked only because it was cheaper than business). The FA had to provide extreme force every time I wanted the seat at a new angle. That seat 1A is the pits. Business was much more relaxing for the trip over to...

    What is it with people/ PAX and lounge food

    MR Shouty has been in operation since phones became portable. I remember a session in the F lounge at akl circa ’99 where people were going up to him to tell him to go away somewhere else. I also told all the airline people phones in flight on commercial aircraft will never be tolerated. Can you...

    2019 Family and Friends offer

    The family and friend handout of codes goes out across the business network. My ‘friends’ have never been asked to prove their association.

    Rewarding Long Term Frequent Flyer Loyalty

    22 years of traveling and 34.5k SC with QF. I have been on a declining travel schedule for business and at 194cm tall (forget the girth size for the moment) am not enjoying it so much anymore. QF tell me I’m a valued reviewer of their services and I can state there was zero offering from them as...

    QF domestic lounges - less relevant nowadays?

    Yes, I concur on the NOU lounge - tiny, hot & magazines all in French. In fact I just sauntered across to the QF FC lounge in MEL to escape the crowded conditions in the Raffles lounge - another crowded place. ;)

    Qantas First versus Business

    Well.... that's not quite true. They've stopped the upgrades so that they can get the one already installed right. Instead, they're doing software fixes. You should see Air NZ. They have the same system but it works near perfect. The main difference is what the different airlines wanted the...

    New American Express Gold Card....

    Now you'll have to remove your 'butterfly' to be put through the x-ray. In the UK you probably will have to check it with your baggage. Methinks it is an untimely release. :lol:

    Major UK air disruptions

    Yes, I had to get a pen from the FA. I was a bit down on losing the pen as it was a gift from an airframe manufacturer. :( What intrigued me was that another traveller going through x-ray at the time was pulled over for having the electronic key fob for her car. What happens when that gets...

    Major UK air disruptions

    Wow! What a trip. Couldn't even post to the site as the PC's in the club wouldn't accept my password. I had my ballpoint pen confiscated going through security at LHR even though I thought the advisory websites stated something along the lines of no ink nib pens - now I think about it, they must...

    Major UK air disruptions

    I'm about four hours away from leaving France en-route to Australia - into the UK via Gatwick and out via LHR. Where I'm usually relaxed I feel slightly apprehensive given BA's penchance for running late and the queues into LHR. Thankfully the QF lounge has PC's where I can possibly let you know...

    Qantas Food

    Well I don't know about you guys but my last three trips that have spanned midday on Cityflyer have only had cookies/cake served in Y. I reckon they're cutting back to the old cheese & bickies caper they had in the old days. :x

    TIP: Want the best seat in the house?

    Trap for young players If you want an exit row automatically don't go through the electronic check-in. A person has to ask you & also see if you are physically able to sit in one of those seats.

    SmartGate...a faster way to clear Customs (on trial)

    Yup, The same thing happened to me coming in Thursday morning except this time the customs guy said it wasn't working. Thankfully they still processed me through in that line. Phew :roll:

    What irritates you most while flying?

    Uh, yeah. Whatever. :roll:

    Changes to Duty Free allowances

    What I meant (being Melbourne centric) is that we don't have a red or green line anymore. Just head for the one exit where you have to pass the "does he/she look guilty or innocent" guard.

    Changes to Duty Free allowances

    What red line or green line? It's all the same now - the b###ds. :(

    Would you fly SQ to US?

    Doesn't anyone ever worry about the fact that SQ only maintains new aircraft and thus never gets the experience that QF LAME's have dealing with more mature aircraft? Great service in the aircraft but not necessarily to the aircraft. :(
