Its a closely held secret - I don't want the agency to get TOO busy as I fear the level of service may suffer :lol:

Hi all, Think FWIW - just let her come on through without any DF issues re alcohol. The hassle involved isnt worth the effort. I did the same trip last month, albeit via NRT, and to be completely honest, the DF in both NRT and AMS is, IMO, disappointing in terms of depth of selection. The...

FWIW - I'd take CX over QF... The Wing in HKG over the PVG transfer - no brainer :)

Hi all, Just wondering where the best place to pick up DF booze on the above sectors. It's a straight through itinerary - so bags are checked in MEL and wont have the opportunity to pack purchases in the bags. Question is - the ability to bring the DF (Chambord/Cointreau) through all...

Congratulations Lindsay & Vicky!!

Was on QF611 yesterday BNE-MEL. Upon arriving at BNE amongst the folk being rescanned due to the security breach, I went to check in my bag. It weighed 26.3kg. Staff advised I was overweight although I had my QF gold in the booking. He allowed to bag to go through. My understanding was that...

Congratulations Flashware! Happy Birthday!

I cannot help but disagree. Perhaps the PM (for that matter, each of us) should consider the following: "The forbearing use of power does not only form a touchstone, but the manner in which an individual enjoys certain advantages over others is a test of a true gentleman. The power...

Condolences to the families of the crew...

Looks like another win for the dsn travel agency :)

I've flown DJ a few times this year and have to say, I didnt mind at all. Granted, they were to destinations that QF didn't serve or the schedule was better on DJ. Access to the Lounge is via Priority Pass and I've found the BNE lounge staff very nice. All in all, on short sector flights I...

Received an email from the folks at APEC reminding me that my card is due to expire in November. I've just completed the application and posting off today. Will be interested to see how long clearances require on a renewal vs an initial application! Anyone with any experience with renewal?

Good news. I'll stop by tomorrow :cool:. And agree with NM, QF has never blinked at AA EXP/OWE card or boarding pass when entering the lounge. The AC's in the US make of point of logging in my QP/WP card upon entry.

How QF will explain $100 million in repairs vs a $35 million hull loss to its shareholders? Surely rational heads would prevail? Where is Ms Jackson the accountant when QF needs her? :rolleyes:

Who owns the aircraft? QF or is it leased? If leased, would the loss (and subsequent safety mark) go against QF or NJS or no one? This is, of course, assuming it's a write off? I'm guessing that there would be plenty of DC9 / MD8x used parts available in that great big desert as mentioned by...

The article as posted on the 'Sunrise' website: Frequent flyer debacle: Airlines respond - Yahoo!7 Sunrise The first user comment at the end of the article is classic.

Would like to know what the parts are worth for a repair of this magnitude. :shock: Since the MD95/B717 is no longer in production, would the cost of spares be significantly higher for airframe parts?

Interesting DJ went with Amex. Wonder how cardholders will react when surcharged for using an Amex at certain establishments.

He has a habit of making his arguments compelling :lol:. Although it took a while, he did convince me that AA was a much better fit for my travel patterns. In the end, that's what it is all about - what is best for you at a given time.
