    New to United Mileage Plus

    So have just completed all my legs through Houston and can confirm I was able to use the Polaris Lounge immmediately following a long haul journey in Polaris Business class before my onward journey to Mexico City. I will go as far as to say that I thought it was superior to the Qantas Sydney...

    MEL Dom. lounges refurb Completed October 2018

    I was in the Melbourne Qantas Lounge for the first time on Friday afternoon from 2pm until 3:30pm. It was crazy. I thought there may have been a huge wad of over-reactors on here about how bad it is. I couldn’t find a seat for 30mins. Found one near the entrance and then got to witness every...

    Will definitely do a full trip report. The whole lounge stuff is tricky with this new Polaris Lounge product. From what I have read further it’s only for long haul international business passengers and not for journeys to Central or South America, which is a bit annoying in my instance. However...

    New to United Mileage Plus

    So I recently status matched from Qantas Gold over to United because of a series of big work trips where I am forced into using United for a particular contract over the next 12 months. Still not use to which lounges I can access and which I can’t but I’m hoping for some help with an upcoming...

    7-month Qantas saga

    I think ‘straw man’ theory is a bit tough considering I’m just trying to be a safe dad who cares about their kids. Booster seats are usually for kids around 8 years old ... and much easier to get around with. Perhaps a while since you’ve travelled super pregnant and with a toddler to the other...

    7-month Qantas saga

    This info changes my life after 4 years of over complicating things with my young kids. My wife may take convincing though of the safety element. Great to know however in these unfortunate circumstances occur again

    7-month Qantas saga

    Thank you, this is my exact feeling ... but even the highest customer service agents didn’t seem to realise that this is the main point. The child is 18 months old lol

    7-month Qantas saga

    I think my main frustration is that if we had been communicated with by Qantas Premium and Brunel in a faster manner from the first phone call, and had a returned promised return call with an update within even 15-30mins we most certainly would have driven our own car and parked it long term for...

    7-month Qantas saga

    Had one supplied and properly fitted by the car rental ... and lucky, because their standards were different in Sweden and seats have to have a pole support. It’ll always be on my backup plan now though

    Best I ever negotiate is an extra month on my expiry ... effectively a 13 month membership.

    7-month Qantas saga

    First time posting in a long time but felt like I can’t let this one go. Platinum traveller on QF1 in business class last October with my 7 month pregnant wife and 18 month old son for a wedding in Sweden. Booked our chauffeur pickup from the Hills Shire in Sydney days ahead, as I always do. Got...
