    QF Dreamliners in Y - what are people's experiences?

    I was very vocal about this until SQ put 3-3-3 into the 787. But having said that, SQ put it in a 787-10 flying short/medium haul whereas QF put it in a ULR 787-9 flying the longest route they operate.

    Amex Velocity Platinum or Amex Platinum

    99 Supps but only 2 PP in total. So I can take 200 people into Amex/plaza premium lounges :)

    Amex Velocity Platinum or Amex Platinum

    Thank you. Such a simple question but no one at amex had a straight answer. I have a plat charge business which explains why some staff was telling me it was free only for myself. Considering I pay more for the Amex Business, it is quite disappointing

    Amex Velocity Platinum or Amex Platinum

    I've asked this question and 2 different people at Amex tell me that Priority Pass does not include guest access, if I brought a guest, I will be charged $30 odd USD. Are you sure about being able to take a +1 at any PP lounge?

    Looking for a non-Bogan Bali experience

    This might be an unpopular opinion but I didn't enjoy Gili T at all. It felt like 70% of the people on the island were tourists or locals who are directly related to tourism. No different to visiting Phi Phi island. I found it difficult to find places where locals eat or just hang out. At...

    VA withdraws all services from Hong Kong

    VA A330's are not premium heavy IMO. Why can't VA do what JQ does with the 787 and just fly them 24/7 to various holiday destinations in Asia + HNL on different days and serve 3-4 cities a couple of times a week? Offer a J lite service in business and make it more affordable for the...

    Jetstar Delays/Cancellations

    Yea. I had a last min trip so I didn’t get many options. I was just checking where each 787 has been and so many flights in the last 2 days has either been really late or cancelled. I didn’t realize it was that bad. I can’t seem to work out which Dreamliner was supposed to fly JQ7 and what...

    Jetstar Delays/Cancellations

    What happened to JQ8 tonight? Is the 787 in Singapore or did it not even get to Changi? I got moved onto QF tomorrow night

    I would have done that immediately if it wasn't for the 24 month expiry

    Royal Brunei Airlines and LGBTI travellers

    Am I the only one who thinks this got completely out of hand? Australians have supported the ME3 in large numbers for almost 2 decades now. Inc our openly gay CEO of Qantas partnering with EK and nothing was said. I know some on this forum were concerned and voting with their wallets but in...

    Why I am ditching QF F/J longhaul, despite loving it.

    I think it was to highlight that this isn't an industry wide J experience, which represents a bigger issue as it is unique to QF. Having said that, I do feel the crew in SQ J in A380/773ERs are always average (still better than QF) whereas the 787/A333 crews in regional routes are always...

    Why I am ditching QF F/J longhaul, despite loving it.

    I haven't stepped onto a QF plane for more years than I can count for the same reason. I don't have anything against age of staff but the QF senior staff have a very similar attitude to the senior staff at Myer and David Jones. They have so much job security and seniority they can get away with...

    Here is British Airways’ all-new Club World business class.

    Do people generally prefer the VA style J or the CX style J? What's the consensus as both are similar reverse herringbone. I am talking pure hard product here (no mattresses... etc). Biggest difference I find is leg space while sleeping. On VA I keep bashing my knees against the tray table...

    Points Count [How many do you have?]

    Just like everything in life. Of all the people I know (at least the ones who understand the potential value of points), the ones who have low point balances or accumulate points slowly are the ones are generally normal employees who actually have the time to travel and have a more flexible...

    What's your Uber experience?

    So you're back on the Rideshare bandwagon (Uber and Didi have the same drivers)?

    VA Passenger of Size treatment

    I don't think VA is at fault for this. My definition for a POS is if they cannot sit in the seat with the armrest down. The FA is in a difficult scenario if you didn't speak to them discreetly, it would be quite awkward for them to speak to you in your seat while the POS pax is in 5C. Plus if...

    KrisFlyer Spontaneous Escapes

    For some reason I can't get my head around this promo. The tickets have to be Ex SIN so on top of the award booking I will have to make my way to SIN on a separate booking. Is that correct? Or can I use the SIN-MEL promo in reverse insead? ie. MEL-SIN-MEL

    Smartgate not working after Passport renewal

    I'll report back on my next trip. I don't even get a ticket. What happens is I answer the 3 questions, click next and get an error. It just says Passport cannot be found (or something along those lines). I've also been sent to the manned counter at departures every single time since my new...

    Smartgate not working after Passport renewal

    I renewed my passport (Malaysian Passport with a Resident Return Visa) early December and had issues with my Visa not being attached to my new Passport number and couldn't use the smart gate. I then filled in the correct form and fixed it with Dept. Home Affairs. About 2 days after I got the...
