Thanks to the oh so thoughtful gent behind me in 5C yesterday on QF488, I thought as a service to all travellers, that boarding announcements could do with a friendly reminder to sneeze and cough into elbows/tissues/hankies. Yes, announcement overload has been discussed here before, but such a...

Hi All. Have decided to go the big burn, while I have 14 months before WP drops down to SG. My partner hasn’t experienced first lounges, so I want to treat her to a 2-3wk long trip, with all long haul in J. We both love all things Japan, particularly food/sake, so this destination is a...

I live between two cities, and lament the weekly commute, but usually fly MEL to SYD Sunday nights. This long weekend decided to stay at MEL and fly Tues morn, going directly to office rather than the usual late Sun night commute. Noticed a minor annoyance this morning. No espresso machine at...

Ordered a mixed dozen on 19th Dec, 10,000 bonus points, plus around 800 for the purchase via Q Amex. Not a bad deal, as usual. Anyhow, a month and few days later, still waiting for points to post. So today I phoned, and the pleasant helpful operator was apologetic for delay and stated that due...

Hi All, Have generally used points for upgrades, and have finally decided it’s time to do our very first serious points burn on a J trip, for me and the other half, to Tokyo for a serious week of food, sake, and sightseeing. I have half a million points, I am WP, she is not a QFF member. We...

After a very long business trip around Asia, I do the usual routine at HKIA. Quick feed and wine at QF lounge, then head to Cathay lounge near gate for for a shower and quiet sit in the comfy chairs downstairs. There are two separate groups of two, having such loud distracting discussions that...

hi all... 3 years member, occasional lurker, lover of all the contributions and insights - thanks. Hoping for some advice, i recently changed my account email to my gmail, and my username has automatically updated to my name, which i would prefer kept private. For the life of me, i have...

I’m definitely a little ‘OC’ and over the years havedeveloped a great fear about what previous hotel guests have been doing withtheir hands before touching the hotel room TV remote control. Yuk! So I’ve taken to hitting the local convenience store,after checking in, to purchase a trusty can of...

Fortunate enough to have experienced the new suites on QF29/30 MEL-HKG-MEL April 2015. Love the new suites, a vast allround improvement on the Skybeds, and can't wait for next trip in a few months. Although the width seems a tad less, the fully flat, lower-to-floor bed offers a great sleeping...

Greetings everyone! I've been enjoying reading and learning from all your contributions for around 6 months now. Had some issues logging in and using passwords on the iPad - finally got my act together and dusted off the home laptop which enabled easier password change. (I think there's a...
