I was trying to describe those uncomfortable stethoscope-like earpieces with stiff dual tubes that went into a dual hole in the armrest back in the 1970s. As a student I used to avoid the $2 rental fee by making a cone from a menu card and poking back the flap that stopped the sound from...

I am a dual NZ/AU passport holder so I compared both country forms: http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/business/_pdf/form-1390.pdf http://www.immigration.govt.nz/NR/rdonlyres/23492FF8-7990-46A7-AECA-1C6AE6237857/0/APECBusinessTravelCardApplication.pdf Crikey! The NZ form is two pages; no...

Just installed the iPhone app and looked for something I have wished for when browsing the long threads in the various "I'm in the xx lounge" forums. The search feature isn't finding me a lounge guest thread that is current. I am often in the SYD VA lounge on Thursdays around 3 pm and can...

I keep getting this screen after I choose to install the app (after visiting the AFF URL with Chrome on an iPhone 5). The app installed properly by using iTunes on my Win 7 PC.

I fly JQ612 (AVV-SYD) every Monday, so I have been in a few aircraft in different rows. I didn't note the tail number, but last week I noticed that I had a decent amount of clearance in front of my knees, while the other (starboard) side had shorter people almost kneeing the seat in front of...

I can't find an obvious place for asking about AFF Flight Tracker, but here goes: Can we add an airline code "RAAF" - I have some trips done on RAAF planes Can we add Boeing 707 - see above

I fly on JQ612 most Mondays from AVV to SYD at 9:05. As there aren't many flights from AVV, the flight is pretty full to completely full. The booking is done by the company TA, so I don't have much visibility of that process. Invariably, my seat is somewhere at the back of the plane, i.e. use...

Only once have I encountered an elbow bully - he looked like a sky marshal (had a small carry-on and a book to read), so I bit my lip but he pushed my elbow off the arm rest, so he had mine and the aisle arm rests. Once he had claimed his space, later on he was happy to let me use some of the...

My weekly MEL-SYD bookings on JQ are made by the client's travel agent but my QF FF# just does not go into the booking. TA has no clue why it isn't happening and JQ counter staff don't have the time to figure it out. So I have to get it done at the counter each time. The Jetstar website also...

If you have watched Border Security, you'll know all about the "food" question #6. They always point it out to errant pax. I just came back on Monday and could not see the word "food" on the form, in question 6 or elsewhere. We were carrying chocolate and had to declare it via the "dairy"...

Around 2000-2002 I was a UA FF and had reached 1K *G 3-4 times, but then many years of doing just one USA trip and almost no domestic, so I forgot about all the FF perks and lurks. Back then I hung out on an overseas FF forum and knew all the jargon, had meetups with other FFs and so on. I have...
