Hi everyone, I'm looking at flying LHR-DOH on QR6 in mid Sept and am keen to try the Q Suite. Is there a way of telling if it's the Q Suite? They mention the seatwidth is 21.8inches and pitch is 78 inches on the website and I believe that's the old 2-2-2 layout? But I was under the impression...

Hi everyone, I'm flying CX F for the first time in May and I'm keen to hear your tips on how to maximise the experience. I only do limited overseas flights per year and flying in J and F is still a massive novelty for me and I'm really keen to enjoy the entire 13hr flight. I leave HKG at 14:40...

Apologies in advance as I recognise my question is vague. I'm looking at a one-way ticket (I know return tickets are better value but this is unavoidable) from London to Sydney in September (21st to be exact) in business. China Airlines currently have a sale on fro Gatwick-TPE-SYD for $2.4K in...

Afternoon everyone, Thanks for some helpful members on AFF I managed to snag a J award between SYD and MEL yesterday and put together a video review of the new Boeing 787-9 Business Suites. Obviously it’s not a fair review of the service and food as it was only a 60 minute flight (one of the...

My last flight report for a month (I’m booked on the QF 789 in mid November so I’ll post up a review then). Two weeks ago I flew with BA in their new Club Europe cabin from Rome (FCO) to London (LHR) in an Airbus A320. It was my first trip in BA CE and I was looking forward to it, although I had...

Goodness gracious me, I’ve just had the worst flight in first class I’ve ever had. Now I stress the point that it was far from horrible (unlike the EY Y flight from AUH to CAI the following day) and I count myself as very lucky to fly in first class anyway, but it appears that my run of good BA...

Hi everyone, they say a picture tells a thousand words, so I figure a video should be a novel or a thesis. After 12 months of planing, I've just had my first flight in QF F and it was wonderful! I was a little fearful (they say that you should never meet your heros) having heard mixed reports...

I understand that NAB were one of the last banks to NOT have an exclusion period for credit card sign up bonuses. I managed to get the bonus twice over a 3 month period earlier this year. Now I see that they're offering a 90K bonus with their signature card although the fine print is a little...

Hi all, I've got an upcoming 20hr layover in (arrive at ~2300 and fly out at ~2100 the following day and I'm considering being rather tight and spending the entire layover at the airport. As I'm flying into and out of DOH in QR F, I'm allowed access to the Al Safwa lounge and I understand that...

I'm looking at closing my NAB Platinum card again (second time in a few months) but I'm keen to avoid calling them (I tend to avoid conflict in everything I do...) I've seen others simply write a letter. What information do you need to include in the letter? I could imagine that the bank could...

Hi everyone, In October this year I'm visiting Rome and the Amalfi Coast and I've got a reasonable idea of what to do there, but I've also now got a few days near Verona and am keen to get some suggestions. I fly into Verona on Sunday afternoon (3:25pm) and fly out the following Tuesday (7:25pm)...

I must admit that the real reason I took this flight was to get access to the MEL QF Flounge before I dropped down to SG. While most of us are fortunate enough to avoid flying Jetstar, I thought it might make for an interesting review since they do often offer great value flights and QF status...

This probably isn't the usual trip report, as the plane never left the ground, but it was very interesting nonetheless! As I'm sure most of you are aware, VH OJA, the first -400 series 747 delivered to QF (and the one that took part in the record breaking flight from LHR to SYD non-stop) was...

Hi all, I've rather inefficiently blow a few miles (but YOLO) on a BA First award in a 787-9 from LHR to AUH in October. While BA F isn't that well regarded, I'm excited to be travelling in First on a legacy carrier in the 789 (and aircraft I really like). As it stands, my A320 from FCO (BA club...

I will admit that the only real relevance to flying is that I need to end up in Helskini on Friday to fly home (QF award = AY A350J to PVG, then QF A333 down to SYD). :) I love nature, (day) walks, photography, history/politics and driving and I'm thinking of getting a rental car for ~4 days...

QF1 F arrival into LHR questions - limo and the arrivals lounge. Hi all, I've got my first F award on QF1 coming up in late Sept and have a few questions. I'm assuming my aircraft will arrive at terminal 3 but I'm keen to check out the BA arrivals lounge at terminal 5. I understand that there's...

John Travolta and HARS have just announced that his 707 is being donated to HARS (Historical Aircraft Restoration Society) at Albion Park airport just south of Wollongong. This is the same aircraft museum where VH-OJA now rests. As a Wollongong local, I'm incredibly excited by this news and...

How often are there cheap QF/EK F fares x-CAI? Hi all, I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this so I'm happy to be moved elsewhere if not. In Dec last year, I booked EK F (QF flight numbers) CAI-DXB-SYD for $2.9K AUD (EK flight numbers were available for 2.6K) for this coming...

Hi all, I'm desperately in need of 80,000 QF points to book a 35K km F award and I'm looking at the "AMA* American Express Platinum Card". Now I think it's the the same as the Platinum Charge card as it has a $1200 annual fee (discounted in the first year, though) and the $300 travel credit, but...

Good morning everyone, Some reasonably positive feedback for QF (and useful info for you all). My 0700 SYD-MEL flight yesterday returned to the gate due to electrical problems and was subsequently cancelled. I’ve never experienced this before so I was tossing up running back to the J lounge...
