    SYD - NYC with JAL

    Curious - whats the objection to AA? If you can jag one of the new A321’s (3 class config) that AA fly between LAX and JFK (in First or even Business) you might be pleasantly surprised - i sure was. It’s a 5 hour flight and if done up the pointy end is very similar to Qantas J. This might...

    Delayed and missed connection. Compensation for hotel already booked?

    A similar thing happened to me last tear at DFW. QF and AA at the time denied me any help with onward losses of travel and accomodation. Both airlines said my delay wasnt their fault as i was delayed at Customs etc. I ended up paying $450 USD for a room at the Hyatt. QF did however acknowledge...

    Just when you thought you had seen it all in the Qantas lounge...

    Was at the BNE International lounge last week. Just after i ate dinner, the chef came out of the kitchen picking his nose. Made we wonder for the next 14 hours on the way to L.A.

    Using Invitations at Qantas Brisbane Domestic Lounge

    That is a VERY short connection in Sydney, so you are correct - you wont have any time in that lounge. Enjoy the BNE one - and your trip of course.

    Using Invitations at Qantas Brisbane Domestic Lounge

    Once your friend transfers these to your FF number, you will need to log in to your FF account and link them to your flight. Qantas wont let you in to the lounge without doing this first. Personally i would wait until you got to the International Business lounge in SYD to use your invites, as...

    No more butter chicken (and Neil Perry) please!

    Funny……. i was about to author a similar thread last week. In the last month i have had butter chicken in MEL, SYD, AKL, LAX and once on board. Did QF secure a massive order of Patak’s? Don‘t get me wrong, i love a good curry, but it would be nice to see some variety NP!

    International Economy Dinner Disasters

    On two recent flights i was served inedible food in Y. They were so bad i had to share them with you all. Flight 1 SYD-DFW Beef casserole. Maybe Neil Perry was trying to confit the meat? Given the price of oil at the moment i should feel lucky. Flight 2 BNE-AKL Thai style noodles with pork...

    Auckland QF Lounge Reopened 30th June 2022

    Flew out of AKL to BNE on Friday 20th. QF lounge is closed so you will have access to the ANZ lounge in AKL being a WP. Keep an eye out for the sign after the smart gate where you can skip the duty free walk and pass down a corridor then up an escalator to the lounge. Good luck getting a seat...

    Trans-Tasman J

    I did the Mel-Akl 7am flight across the dutch 2 weeks ago. I was worried about the extra security measures so i got to the airport at 5am, breezed through security, the smartgate and was in the Flounge by 5.15am (HLO) - no departure cards to fill out anymore so that saves a bit of time. That was...

    Gold FF access to Emirates Partner Lounges

    I was able to access the partner lounge in BUD as a WP earlier this year with a family of 4 flying EK (non code share QF). I did tell the wife and kids that it may not work but it did. There is only one way for you to find out - ask for a lounge invite at check in
