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...

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...

This is reported in the Stay In Touch column of the SMH today. In a nutshell an American company called AeroMobile has developed technology that will enable passengers to safely use their phones in-flight. Emirates has already spent money on introducing the system and our own national carrier...

I would love to claim credit for this. It is one of the funniest routines I have read in a long time. Customer: Hi. How much is your paint? Clerk: Well, sir, that all depends on quite a lot of things. Customer: Can you give me a guess? Is there an average price? Clerk: Our lowest...

As most of you know the rules change on 25 May so that the granting of one upgrade credit per 450 status credits changes to a bonus 5,000 points for the same number of SCs. Currently I am 60 SCs away from another upgrade credit and am not sure whether I will earn these before the end of May...

Well, I finally made it. Argentum to Aurum, qualifying with 715 SCs. It was a tough haul as it took me 33 flights on OW to get there.:roll: In all I had 17 flights that gave me the mimimum 10 SCs and 9 with 20 SCs, meaning that only a handful were big contributors as those 26 flights...

This is often a hit and miss affair. I would just like to give a huge pat on the back to the QF lounge in Bangkok. I have been here for about 2 hours (those who have been to BKK know that the trip from the city can be anything from 20-120 minutes, mine was 2 minutes over the former) and have...

Well well. VB doesn't have a clue about the maintenance records of its planes and has to be within 1 hour of an airport at all times. I think it is totally irresponsible for their head of propaganda, er strategy, to state that as the fleet is young there is no immediate threat to safety...

I am having difficulties in accessing this site. Each time I go to it I am asked for user name and password. Upon entering the latter it generally asks again but then bounces me out as I am purportedly not providing the correct log-in details. Anyone else finding this problem?

Has anyone shown interest in these? While the recent offer of the Samsonite style bag for $55 seemed to be reasonable this one is a bit gimmicky. I remember having one like this when I went to school. It was a bit of a rage to bring these instead of typical school bags. I was fortunate enough to...

I am not really sure where this needs to be posted but I thought thst this was as good a place as any. I finally got to Singapore on the Roar into Singapore deal on WT+ which was about $50 more than economy. Only thing is that I can't report on the seating and service. When my details were...

A little feedback regarding this facility. I am flying to Singapore this afternoon in WT+. My TA couldn't arrange my preferred aisle seat and so I thought I would try this out to see if the seating arrangement could be changed. After a little early frustration I was able to get into the site...

I have just booked a return flight to Singapore on BA for $1080 plus taxes on WT+. An absolute bargain given that the cheapest internet flight (discount economy) available on QF is $60 less. Status Credits are double, plus you get the WT+ 10% bonus for FF points. I believe the special is...

Since the demise of Qantas and my Golden Wing membership it is a pain when one has to travel on Star Alliance. All the privileges are gone, most notably the access to a fast queue and a lounge. I am travelling SYD-SIN-SGN (Ho Chi Minh City)-BKK-KUL-SIN-SYD next month, all in Y. The major...

This is a real worry :( . The evil red airline with a colour identity problem has announced the opening of its 'Blue Room' in Sydney following the successful launch of the first one in Brisbane. The blurb on its website calls it a new and exciting innovation blah blah, where you can become a...
