    Is there a way to request an upgrade for my NB brother as a WP? (International)

    TV didn't work for entire J Flight LAX --> MEL

    Hi Guys, I hate to complain about Qantas, because I truly do enjoy flying with the airline. On my recent J flight from LA to Melbourne, my TV did not work for the entire duration of the flight. The CSM was great and extremely apologetic, for which I assured him that it wasn't his fault. He told...

I'm currently seated in 66F...
