Well unlike Aerlingus, Alitalia was never a member of OneWorld, it was a member of SkyTeam, so this reinforces the point that these were reciprocal arrangements between airlines.

Try PER.

The seats are ordinary but as well as the catering, the priority service on the ground makes it worthwhile. The Green Lanes at some European terminals are like being in a world apart.

Indeed - and worth it for access to the Sofitel Millésime club alone! Free breakfast - à la carte not just a buffet - try the orange and cinnamon crépes in Melbourne. Access to facilities all day, including office facilities, with soft drinks, coffee, tea and pastries. High tea in the afternoon...

As a general comment I understand why Y PAX without status (and therefore lounge access) would welcome the direct flights. Transit anywhere without lounge access is a dire experience, but especially in the ME, and worst of all, the hellhole that is Abu Dhabi Airport. But as a passenger who...

They should sell them as PE on domestic routes. And be honest and sell the J seats on B738s as PE as well. They are not a business class hard product. I dare not hope the QF A32Xneos will have a decent new Business seat either though, even though such configurations are now available for narrow...

Gone

Bascially Sydney needs more gates. Either that or they will regularise the situation by having a dedicated part of the apron for bus departure "gates". Like many (if not most) major airports. I'd rather have it done by exception than become a norm!

Economy reward seats. Reward seats no one wants. Economy fares are (relatively) affordable. It's the business and first reward seats we are waiting for.

Sorry for the late notice but PM. Me your details if you’re flying tomorrow.

Sorry, I forgot to share my condolences on the loss of your brother.

I am late noticing this thread. Hope you are having a fabulous trip. Some fabulous places on the itinerary - Colmar is delightful. Disappointed to see you skirting both Dijon and Lyon - unless of course you have already been there, done that. I noticed you were planning to drive through both...

Just noticed a reply to this and it occurred to me that there might now be a new remedy under recent unfair contracts legislation.

The mini cabin is nice and quiet - after take off. Minor annoyance during boarding as Y PAX will walk through even if they are boarding through L2. You may struggle to get service and your meal of choice might be gone before they take your order. Unless you're P1or WP and a thoughtful crew...

I note the T&Cs now state that gift vouchers purchased but not redeemed during the promotional period will not attract the bonuses. Anyone have any recent experience of whether they have actually changed anything to make this effective?

I need 545 SCs to retain Platinum. Any ideas ex PER?

You do remember when they grounded the entire airline to break the pilot strike?

My loyalty to QF is for two reasons. One long term, the other short term. Long term, QF Platinum status gets me OWE status which is invaluable overseas. And points redemptions for intra-EU flights are great value. Short term, VA let go all its wide bodied aircraft, trans con flights on a 737...

When have they ever refrained from doing something because "it wouldn't be a good look"?

One big lagoon. The emphasis is on "big". The lagoon goes all the way aroound Grande Terre (the main island). There is plenty of deep water inside the lagoon, and numerous sharks. There is a colony of bull sharks near the naval base which is west of La Baie des Citrons. They sometimes swim...
