I'm not a suit and not a beach bum, but somewhere in between. I would have to say wearing a singlet, stubbies and thongs is way below acceptable levels. Men's shirts should cover shoulders. Perhaps a sandwich board (like the Adelaide Oval members) can have a pictorial representation of...

Hi. Flew on a Jet Airways 737-800 yesterday from Chennai-Bangalore and notice that the Middle canoe under the Portside wing was missing it's back section (the pointed piece). I brought it to the attention of the FA who passed it onto the captain. I received word back that everything is fine and...

Several highly trained electrical engineers in the televsion industry. I also believe Myth Busters did a story also debunking the theory. Please know, I am not suggesting anyone should having a mobile phone turned on looking for a signal. I myself have stopped a man making a call on final...

Yes the USA, but also the QF domestic. Not sure of the timeframe of it. The planes will be equipped as their own "country" so the mobile signal doesn't go searching and pumping out more power when it can't find one at 40K feet.

I have it on good authority that the reason phones/ipads/computers are to be turned off is because they don't want you to use them. That sounds obvious, but think about it. When a mobile is in flight mode and not emitting a thing, you can still listen to music, play games etc. None of that makes...

Hi all. I just wanted to post that contrary to the Singapore Airlines website, I was given an invitation to the Araliya Lounge in Colombo as a Gold Velocity Rewards frequent flyer without even asking for it. Perhaps this was a one off or mistake, but it worked for me.

Dear JB747, I've just returned from India where I flew into/out of Delhi, Jaipur and Changidarh about 20 times on A319's, 737-700's and ATR72's. One thing I noticed was the Indian pilots seem to land much faster than the QF/DJ pilots in similar conditions. Naturally, I'm sure there are many...

Well done. I did a SC run today, although I only needed 50 credits and did BNE-SYD-BNE.

Hello all. My wife and 2 young kids are going from UK to Indianapolis on Air Canada. They are connecting through Toronto Pearson Terminal 1. I am wondering if any members have experience with connecting through this airport and terminal. I've looked on the Pearson website. It says once you...

I just wanted to say thank you to all the members who posted about the famous Status Credit Runs. Due to a lack of travel up to my next account review, I was going to fall short of Gold by 50 credits. Obviously I didn't want to pay for QC or for the several flights to earn those SC's. Then, I...

Velocity Rewards Gold HHonors Elite Gold offer As a Velocity Gold member, I recently took up Velocity's offer of joining HHonors at Elite Gold level for 12 months. I received my membership card in the mail, and guess what? It says I'm Blue status. Has anyone else had this happen to them? Tried...

I have to say, I'm not very impressed with Virgin giving me no points or status credits for my recent BNE-DELHI-BNE flights on SQ via their new alliance. I was told that the fare my company purchased in economy wasn't a fare that would earn points on SQ, so Virgin agreed. Fair enough about the...

I am also heading to the UK for 2 months and hiring a car from Hertz at LHR. Due to my Hertz Club Gold Five Star, I'm told I will get a free upgrade. I've chosen a Vauxhall Astra. Just wondering what I might expect to get as an upgrade. The Hertz website doesn't seem to be in any order to tell...

Thanks. Wasn't sure if the airport was different.

Hi all. I am going to visit the SQ Gold lounge Singapore tomorrow and was wondering about charging iPhones and iPads. What type of pin configuration do they have in that lounge for power points? Cheers, Jonathan

I am flying LAX-BNE in September on a rewards ticket. The first and last time I flew VA from BNE-LAX return, I was complimentarily upgraded to PE from a very cheap Y ticket due to my Gold status (that was as high as status went back then). I was wondering if anyone has any experience of getting...

Hi all. I have seen this site pop up several times when I've been searching for information on flight news/gossip. I figured I may as well join. Is it the done thing to put what status level you are on your profile that others see?

I am a QFF and see that Jet and QF are partner airlines. I am flying several internal Jet Airways flights and was wondering if my QFF status will get me anything like a quicker checkin line at Delhi for domestic flights. Is there any point in giving them my QFF number if my flights are only...

I apologise, you are correct. The lounge is the SilverKris Lounge. Still, the lady at SQ here in Brisbane said access would be gained at either. I will try my luck. I just hope the Gold lounge is ok as I've got 5 hours layover between flights.

I am also a big DJ fan. Been flying with them for business since mid 2006. A lot of great changes have come about in that time. Much of the success has been since John Borghetti has taken over. I've been told the reason he didn't get the top job at QF after Dixon left, was because Alan Joyce had...
