Just an update for those about to register. The immigratiom counters at KLIA to finalise the autogate registerimg for the 1st time are counters 53 & 54. These have biometric readers to complete the registration. I was asked to show my online registration (I did from my phone). The details on it...

Can you no longer buy vouchers during the DSC promo to use later during the promo travel period and still earn DSC?

Well whatever Qantas intends to do with the 1st class lounge in Auckland, I hope it was only playing a joke on me on the 12 Feb - serving a NZ sparkling called "HaHa" with no champagne insight. Sad, for my pallette, even the Lanson Qantas had is nicer than the Moet that Emirates is now offering...

Last time I was there 3 weeks ago, the salad spread still had those baby spinach mixes, big chucky pieces of pumpkin and other tossed salad and grain mixes. Depending on the gate my EK flight leaves from next Wednesday and I could be bothered to walk over there to have a look, I'll report in,

Yes, my experience concurs with you. Since at least last year, the 2 freshly cooked menu items have been very pedestrian. Laksa (chicken or seafood) seems to be one of the 2 menu items everytime I've been there (last visit 3 weeks ago) and the second menu item seems to be bao or dumpling. The...

FYI JohnK, the Concorde Inn was damaged by fire last August and is temporarily closed. Read article FIRE BROKE OUT AT CONCORDE INN

To get the same pricing on MH for a single booking as that from separate bookings, I look up the individual sectors and note the flights with the best promo fares. Then I use multi city booking to chose those flights that suit me price wise. This usually works for me.

Thanks for the update kermatu. I guess there's a difference between flying QF J or Y as to the welcome offered, not taking into account the staff member on duty (the one who rejected us is often there, resembles an older 1960s Kaye Ballard (late 60s sitcom The Mothers In Law). Getting stuck in...

An update on this thread. The EK AKL lounge is now open from 1pm. Accessed several times last year on QF ticketed EK metal in J no problem, last time in December. Knocked back yesterday 10 minutes after 1pm, flying QF in Y as QF WP (in transit from another flight hence being so early)...

Yes, at rack rate. Pretty pricey unless work's paying and you definitely have to stay there.

Re: QF Upgrade Success Rate Qrrrrr... how lousy but let's hope Mr 4D got his seat checking in late after the mobility pax cancelled and not QF staff playing nepotism.

Re: QF Upgrade Success Rate Sorry, I know it is OT but how would that have happened defurax? Were you just bumped off 4D at T24 for unknown reason?

As Happy Trails has pointed out, yes you do have access to the Emirates Sydney lounge when flying QF premium cabin, with or without status. Although the FAQ suggests you use the operating airline's lounge, the Emirates staff have not ever discouraged me from using their lounge when flying QF...

Except "quelle horreur", there's no more Veuve Clicquot or Louis Roederer in the Sydney lounge but just Moet et Chandon. They may be open 3 hours before each flight but with only Moet, it seems such a long wait now.

Thanks guys, that's really good to know there's some flexibility to the menu. So much to savour, so little room to place it all. This opens up a whole possibility of half or small serves to create ones own degustation experience. Naturally, I'd only ask very nicely when the lounge is not busy...

How did you go with the single lounge invitation. Did you hand it into the first lounge you visited, then just presented the BP for the subsequent lounges. When I went to the Wing F in November (flying CX), I was asked for my invite and when I told the lounge dragon I was also going to The...

I think AP is dyslexic or a deliberate stirrer. Cut Pooch some slack. Correcting a dyslexic won't get anyone very far nor helpful. Correcting a stirrer just adds angst to oneself and gives more satisfaction and encouragement. If the post is not so relevant or seems convoluted, let it pass...

Of course, did KUL-MEL on QF8408 in August but slipped my mind this morning. I stand corrected. The problem for us with that sector is that we are merely shifting the transit from SIN to MEL (back to SYD). I'm not indicating that I think Enrich is better than QFF nor that MH is better than QF...

QF may be dissuading QFFs on the AU-UK run but for those only flying as far as KUL, QF is being really unfair. QF does not even offer direct AU-KUL flights (not even code shares) and QFFs are forced onto 3K or MH in SIN if the earn is important. It's such a waste of time in transit we feel. We...
