Better food, better wine. Though sometimes the breakfasts can be a miss, and I have asked for the basic eggs and bacon/sausage from economy. Recent experience last week to YVR with a vegetable tart for breakfast as the only hot option wasn’t great.

I think it is funny they didn’t include the “remove your masks before fitting the oxygen” part that is still said after completion of the video.

Have your e-ticket with baggage details ready. I had 26kgs recently on a West jet YYC to YVR flight that was a QF (081xx_) issued ticket. They wanted to charge me for the extra kg even though flying premium and connecting to a J YVR- SYD flight. Had to show them the original ticket with an...

I have think I have had 3 or 4 A380 flights since May that hasn’t had a second meal. Got a small surprise when actually served breakfast recently. The crew had a knowing smile when I mentioned this is a bit of a shock to get a second meal that isnt just a muffin! :)

Was a daytime flight, food was quite OK. Nothing special, nothing wrong.

Flew United Premium Plus in April LAX - EWR. Comfy seat, good service, group 1 boarding, no issues. Better than domestic business in Australia.

I got two J seats SYD- HKG late December 2023. Booked them early Jan this year. You may be a little late to the party.

I have noticed this a fair bit quite recently as well out of BNE, SYD and ADL.

I am running at 4/10 successful upgrades this year on long haul flights. Fairly happy with that. Premium cabins are all very full. Other flights have all been on Emirates/ OW partners and not expecting a surprise upgrade like they used to do several years ago.

Echoing everything above. Do seat selection and checkin on the website/app of whatever metal you are flying. Same as when you turn up at the airport, you check in at the Emirates desk not the Qantas one.

Was reluctantly let through the fast track security line with an APEC card (WP flying Y+/W) in July and May. Fast track security line wasnt opened 10 days ago when leaving on an evening flight.

Have used the AirFly pro on three trips Aus-Europe this year and have had no problems. In fact i would hesitate to go back to a wired set of headphones. Depending on how much you sleep on one legs depends on whether you need to charge it during your transit. Or just plug it into an adjacent USB...

Was able to OLCI both directions on MH flights last week - SYD - KUL

Haven’t done anything. Was more just curious. To be basically pressured into moving seats when there are options to pre-select your own annoyed me. I did mention to the CSM during their greeting that there had been some seat changes, as I could see there was a bit of a confused look on his face...

Probably this same crew member on their previous roster!

A recent experience on yesterdays QF 2 from Singapore - Sydney. Upon boarding someone was in my seat 32J (second row, aisle in PE). They had a bag of their stuff piled up in 32K so I asked if they were in the right seat. They moved over the the window and as soon as I had my headphones in and...

I find them incredibly slow as rather than a queue of people just walking through, it is one at a time, wait while the hot spots are checked out, take the belt off, check to make sure nothing is hidden under the watch….. The one at Hamilton Island you have to turn yourself around 180 degrees! I...

Good riddance to this! Hope it is much better when/if it returns.

Should I mention the Australian Electronic Passenger Declaration. I have had to fill a few of these in since March and am so glad it is gone. I don’t think I have ever been able to log in without requesting a new password, and the need to keep scanning and re-scanning passports! Heaven help you...

Came through Sunday afternoon about 1:00pm. Immigration lines were back almost to the checkin area and express lane wasn’t open. Security moved though fairly well. Luckily I was able to get around a lot of the queue with the APEC Lane.
