    Qantas Business Class meals & menus

    Menu for QF598 PER-BNE on 14th. I skipped the small plate options, had the Hokkien noodles. And the ice cream. Was pretty nice.

    Priority boarding on QF domestic - what is the story?

    QF598 to Brisbane seemed to work well today. Using 2 air bridges helps.

    Interesting Prices

    I've been seeing some weird price movements as well. I had fare watches setup for PER-LAX and PER-SFO (business return) for later this year. This is what I've seen in the last month or so: 16/01 PER-LAX - 6109 PER-SFO - 5399 24/01 PER-LAX - 6110 PER-SFO - 5406 01/02 PER-LAX - 8879 (+2769...

    I was half expecting a tantrum from her actually, but was disappointed.

    Famous people seen (or even met) whilst flying or lounging

    Alannah MacTiernan (Federal member for Perth) on SYD-PER today. She seemed a bit annoyed when she found her overhead bin was already full of other people's stuff.

    Qantas lounge shoe policy - this is concerning

    I wonder how much of this drama would've been avoided if the person had some sort of doctor's note with them explaining the footwear rather than going with "trust me".

    How many Airline points/miles did you earn in 2015?

    Re: How many Qantas points did you earn in 2015? Hi Dr Ralph (or anyone else who can provide some insight into this), It might be my lack of knowledge showing a bit, but most the signup points offers I've seen have been with cards issued by the big 4 banks and often under the provision that...

    How many Airline points/miles did you earn in 2015?

    Re: How many Qantas points did you earn in 2015? Interesting. I thought I read somewhere that there were changes in how credit score data was reported that would make it harder to do this approach.

    How many Airline points/miles did you earn in 2015?

    Re: How many Qantas points did you earn in 2015? When I checked mine in a bit more detail, it was those Red Planet surveys and QBE insurance (for a flight I"m assuming). Not sure what would be causing Steady to be so high. Also, a few replies seem to suggest that credit card churning is...

    Seating Availability/Allocation/Configuration Help Desk

    Re: ALL QF's 330's to get lay flat Business seating - Including Domestic 3J/K, 4E/F, 5E/F, 6A/B, and 6J/K are the empty pairs showing up. These would be reasonable options at the moment as the seat next to them is empty for now. Rows 1 and 2 are coming up as blocked for me.

    Travel Organisers / Wallets

    Another vote for the Bellroy travel wallet. I was a bit worried about the size of it when I got it, but it ended up fitting in my pockets nicely.

    Most interesting place you've visited this year - 2015

    For me, most interesting place was probably a tie between the Dreihaus Museum (which shows the art, architecture and general design of houses during the Gilded Age in the US, in the picture below) in Chicago and the California Science Center (specifically seeing a space shuttle).

    Lounge Access Help Desk

    Re: I'm in the QF Lounge thread Sweet, I wasn't sure if oneworld sapphire would have access as they seemed to word it in a way that seemed like they were referring to other carriers. Thanks for that!

    Drink Request

    As a fellow fan of the Islay style, after seeing the in-flight drinks menu and what was on offer at duty free, I just gave up and bought a very nice bottle at my destination and enjoyed it at my leisure when I got home.

    Hi RooFlyer, Some great suggestions there, looks like some of them will soak up the time I need to fill. Thanks for the suggestions.

    The <24 hour 'stopover' - your experiences

    It seems I've created one of this type of stopover for myself on a trip next month, where I have about 24 hours between arriving and leaving LAX. Anyone have any thoughts on how I could utilise that time? I'll have almost a full day (flight out of LAX leaves around 10pm). Thanks.
