    Vacuum Cleaner @ NRT (clothes compactor)

    Hi I can't find this info anywhere but am hoping someone has done this before. Need to use to the vacuum-applied clothes compactor at NRT before JL check-in (F). Wonder where I may borrow a vacuum cleaner for about 5-10 sec to compact my bulky winter clothing. Not a deal breaker but it would...

    Wine bottle bag (wine skin) in France

    Hello brains trust On a spur of the moment, we bought some four bottles of French wines while I'm in Provence, France. The best the wine shop can offer is bubble wrap each bottle. Does anyone know a better way to carry them back home intact ? Where could I buy the 'bottle bag' for better...

    French Train Booking @ Voyages-SNCF: repeated Credit Card rejection

    Hello I wonder if any of you had come across & more importantly know how to deal with this situation. Planning ahead to buy some French train tickets (Avignon to Paris etc....) on SNCF, my Aussie CCs (Visa & MasterCard - some 6-7 cards) were all rejected. Talking to the banks, they claimed...

    QF Flight Change fee: does that reflect real costs ?

    Red-e-Deal = $99 Change Fee = 88$ With the recent news about RBA clamping down on CC interchange fee including the CC surcharge fees applied by various airlines etc...., I wonder if that $88 change fee is really reflective of the IT real costs to QF. Would you behave differently if that fee...

    Fast Track Security Lane @ NRT: ? not for OWE on JL

    Recently I was declined access to the First Class Security / Immigration Lane at NRT (travelling on J-ticket - Int'l JL with QF Platinum on BP & Card in hand). It was the Southern access point. The signboard at entry listed - apart from JL F - some other cards (Fly on Diamond etc...) but not...

    Remember to shred your boarding passes

    Hello This is something worth thinking about as on occasions we (moi included) tend to throw away the BPs thinking that it is "alright" to do so. Apparently it is not ! From now on I would probably shred them once I am back home. Your thoughts ? Is that too paranoid a response ?

    JL redemption with AA miles: F seat selection

    Hello With my upcoming JL F redemption using AAdvantage, all seats are greyed out on JL MMB but using EF I could see 1A, 1K, 2CD available. I called up JAL and was told that I could only be allocated 2C or 2D as "... 1A & 1K is under airport control...". That seems rather odd as flight is 7-8...

What would you do to pass the time: stay in the lounge or head to the city taking into account traffic jams and whatnot ... ? Sort of a grey zone really - too long in lounge but at the same time too short to...

    Shades up or down?

    All you has left is that hopefully 1A would lower the blinds after takeoff ! Without it, 2A could hardly see the screen, let alone the content. I was forced to politely request 1A to lower his blinds and to his credit, he graciously did so. You'd do the same for 3A, wouldn't you ?

    F amenities - Open Access by J pax

    Friends I'd like to relate one familiar story plus the tepid QF response (a la Priority Boarding mannerism). Woke up on QF12 from seat 2A, wandered out to the restroom and did some stretching as both were showing 'occupied'. Lo and behold, from one restroom out came a mother & her young...

    Customer SERVICE Consultants - OMG !!!!

    Friends I had the occasion to call up Citibank today to make some enquiries about my CC. As part of the ID process, DoB was requested which I replied in the format of dd/mm/yy (e.g. 12 Aug 55*). I was then asked to repeat this as it is not clear and as such would not pass their security...
