A lot of good responses here except the idiot who said practice your hobby on board. I tried this once and was kicked off the plane. Something absolutely lame about not being able to shoot skeets in the cabin.

Yes, me too. My card doesn't expire until November but I received a letter last week. I suppose it is a good think to maintain continuity that the process should start now.

I will admit to being difficult in some circumstances, but this generally involves a serious patronising tone from, lets say, a Harbajhan Singh sympathiser. I have to say that QF staff are normally very helpful and quite pleasant, as they were when I made the original bookings for the boys. I...

I know that when there is no availability in a particular class Qantas are not supposed to provide a seat. It just seems so stupid that they have to get off the flight that would take them to Sydney so they can change terminals just to be likely to miss the flight on which they are booked...

I know rules are rules and all that. Also I am aware of the yield requirements that airlines have. Notwithstanding I am still amazed at the need to have the boys do what is stated. When the tickets came through I didn't question the routing because a flight was a flight and if they wanted to use...

I hate things that make no bloody sense. :mad: My two sons are due to return from a month overseas from LAX. I shouted them flights to and from so they could then springboard into Central America. They are due to board the QF176 at 2355 LAX time and arrive in BNE tomorrow at 0745. They are...

Dot, you don't have to renew the card when renew your passport. Just advise them of your new number and your amended APEC card (with original expiry date) will be sent out a few days later. The only real problem is if you have to travel almost immediately after getting your new passport, as...

Plaza Premium Lounge it was. Carlsberg beer on tap and a rotating hot selection of east/west dishes. It is the ante-room to the larger section of the PPL but was OK in at least being a place where you could relax before the flight. I had seat 1A on JQ which was fine because there wasn't a 1B.

Thanks, that at least is a qualified yes. It would make sense that it would be MP lounge given that all the others are not affiliated with QF in any way. I will find out tomorrow night I suppose.

One of the frustrations of often being in KUL was that I had generally flown QF/BA from SYD to SIN and then made the short hop to KUL and back. No *Alliance status meant no lounge access unless I was willing to pay for it. I am flying back on JQ *class and wonder if I can access the MArco...

I see! So when you take it out of your bag it absorbs all of the air borne antigens in the room so you can have a concentrated burst of nasties assaulting your senses all night!:evil: :evil:

My year often gets off to a slow start. Currently I am at: QFF MEMBERSHIP YTD (1/8/7 to 31/7/8) Total sectors: 7 Total QFF SC's: 255 Status: Gold Points accrued: 306,209 (after shouting my 2 sons a return trip to LA so they can hoon around Central America for a month. Cost me 192,000...

Why not just a pillow slip? I know a lot of people say they need their own pillow for a sound sleep but if it is just a matter of hygiene surely that is a bulky and unneccessary addition to your luggage.

So did they do all the administrative stuff for you while you were in bed? Wow, that's real service! My only bad experience was in Hong Kong in the slightly mis-named Charterhouse hotel. A ----house it was. The bed was clearly re-made and pubic hairs on the bathroom floor made the stay an...

Collingwood to beat the Wet Coke Eagles this week. Play the cough and upset them, then beat the Hawks in the Granny who will have exceeded expectations by beating the Rooboys and dark lords from Alberton.

The article says he was 15. Any difference? I know he may be mature for his age but many a person has failed on the "didn't know she was jailbait" defence. BTW, it would be just as bad if the FA was female so I am not on an anti gay tirade.

Um, let's get some perspective here and look at the guts of this rather than giggle like schoolboys about a potential mile high club fling. It's a bloody disgrace. An unaccompanied minor being approached by an adult with an intent to undertake some unsavoury activity. "Why don't we just chat"...

If you travel J/F. My cheap@rse company only springs for WT+ on longhaul to the UK. The rest is whY, even to Chile. 16 hours of hell.

I find it better in the more 'difficult' places. In Jakarta I recall seeing a huge queue and thinking that immigration was going to be hell. I saw the APEC sign and headed for it only to be told to get into the other lines. I flashed the card and was ushered through. Santiago is another place...

mr matt, I would suggest you get the interim card if not for anything else than the ease of processing in Australia. Also, there could be a chance that with APEC in the minds of people that there is a chance you could be let into the US with some preferential treatment. 17xx_!. That means...
