    I'm in the QF Lounge thread

    I'm currently in the J lounge at Sydney and it's quite comfortable. I was previously in the F lounge and had the salt and pepper squid which was fine. I ordered a champagne and a half full glass was delivered with a rather disdainful look form the female attendant. OK I thought everyone...

    Everyday Rewards Targeted Offers

    But this is around our usual weekly grocery spend. What do others spend?

    A strange thing to say. Completely untrue.

    Best Star Alliance lounges in...

    Yes. I'm lifetime Star Gold and visit BKK regularly. The TG lounges are really not very nice, so I usually visit the Louis Tavern 1st class lounges. Much better range of alcohol, and the food isn't too bad...

    QANTAS's domestic sale(s)

    No matching Virgin sale? What's Borghetti up to?

    Moderating

    Well it's their choice; no-one's forcing them to do it. I do have a bit of a gripe with some of the moderators on this forum though. Some just seem to carry on as if they are regular members, posting at will. But given their extreme powers, they might also be tempted to act as schoolyard...

    The great SC chase

    I'd have to agree. I think the moderators have been very generous in respect of this thread. :cool:

    A Qantas WP1's observations on the Virgin Platinum experience

    Well DJ didn't comp me for whatever reason and I'll be minimising my flying with them as a result. They have also taken away my priority pass access and want me to pay for a glass of tap water on their flights. Why would I waste my (personal) money with such a poor airline? BTW, I'm now QF...

    A Sign of Things to Come ?

    I'm afraid I can't afford to pay for poor service and no airline alliances (of any note). But DJ down the back cheapie economy hasn't changed for the better and doesn't come close to QF economy. No food, no nothing (unless you pay through the nose). And no decent FF points either. For economy...

    A Sign of Things to Come ?

    How is this better than the Qantas Business Lounge? And as for an ordinary Y class pax (I flew BNE-CBR a few days ago after flying QF NAN-SYD-MEL-BNE in J class) it's just total cough. Not even close to QF Y class (what about the food?). DJ is still a LCC as far as I am concerned. And what...

    Full Body Scanners - Who has an issue being scanned?

    I note that the TSA is now required by law to to allow you to nominate the sex of the person viewing your scan. Of course, I will always ask for a female to review my scan.

    LHR - Concorde Room

    Why "try" and get all hot and bothered when they turn you away? Just go to your designated lounge. :cool:

    EDR Targeted Bonus Point Promotions

    Quite a good weekend for me with the 10c/ltr promo and 250 points for 2 cases of beer (always handy to have). Also triple Fly Buys points at Coles and 8c/ltr as well. It seems the competition is getting a bit more real...

    I can't remember either. Must have been generic.

    Qantas Fleet Grounded 29/10

    I'll be back there soon enough (as you'll see). But I'm willing to admit I may have been wrong. Think a younger person, perhaps. It's good to be able to monitor such things, though. Have a nice day. :cool:

    BKK floods OCT...2011

    I'm sure you don't mean 3 baht. That's less than my bus fare on the number 71.

    Qantas Fleet Grounded 29/10

    That's a very strange comment. It's statistically proven (putting my CASA hat on) that well over 50% of aviation incidents, including fatal ones, are due to human error. So what are you saying exactly, and why? Oh, and BTW, hello amaroo...

    Any luck with J Saver Awards?

    If it were me, I'd put my miles (of which you obviously have a lot) to better use, such as upgrading from Y. Much easier and cheaper. Decent flight awards with EK are notoriously hard to get and expensive.

    Customs and Border Protection industrial action

    Well the vast majority of those I used to supervise were. They knew it was almost impossible to sack them, so they took full advantage of it. I'm sorry, but your bleatings cut no ice with me. You can always just leave and try and find a better job (!).
