    Article: I Nearly Missed My Flight And Forgot How to Navigate an Airport

    List the bloody gate more than 2 seconds before boarding and then people will naturally gravitate towards their gate rather than rushing around the main area at the last second because the gate has just appeared.

    Jetstar reviewing Cabin Bag policy

    I see it being potentially worse, many low cost carriers in Europe have those bag sizer things at the gate and if it doesn't fit then you pay. Those weighing bags at the gate would just switch to making sure bags fit in a size instead. There are a lot of wheeled carry on bags that I've seen...

    The definitive thread on Qantas IT gripes

    Haha I didn't even look so just took a random screenshot but you don't like 3:51am flights departures? (I'm a night owl but even this is a stretch)

    The definitive thread on Qantas IT gripes

    If you're actually looking to book this, the multi city option (just putting in the single flight) is showing the right amount.

    SQ KrisFlyer lounge BNE

    See I disagree. I like the QF coffee (also operational all day) and self service juice more in the morning then QF also has champagne which is a nice bonus with food between the two on par.

    MH uses the Plaza Premium, BA the House and Qatar the Air New Zealand lounge. AA, FJ, CX and JL still use the QF lounge. Open hours are 5am till 10pm daily.

    SQ KrisFlyer lounge BNE

    Visited the SQ Brisbane lounge this afternoon prior to an Air New Zealand flight. Woeful would be the best description. First up it was moderately busy so sat on one of the side couch seats which had a lot of stains on the seat. Food was mostly veg except a chicken dish and basically all noodles...

    I guess that means SYD BAE146 flights end in July?

    New Qantas promos including double status credits (book by 3/9/25; travel 4/9/25 until 22/8/26)

    Silly question I can't find the answer to but I've got an existing booking eligible and booked during the Sep 2025 promo but I now need to change the date on one of the flights (move back 2 days). If I make the change online will the booking retain the DSCs?

    Any real tangible benefits to linking two people's PNR on the same flight?

    Yes it does. Same boarding group, same check in (app will show both boarding passes).

    Scams like these

    I've seen a few Qantas money ones lately as well. Wonder if they've had a breach?

    How does Accor treat you as an Elite guest?

    A good ibis upgrades. From Auckland Ibis budget that's upgraded me and given a handwritten card/chocolate (a welcome amenity greater than more who are meant to...) to the Ibis in Madrid as per my above post #3582. Whilst they don't have to I guess if the room is there it's a no brainer win for...

    Please don’t be this guy

    Noise cancelling headphones on and just ignore. In these sort of situations I struggle to see a situation where you'd "win", you've got no clue if their passive aggressive turns to aggressive. Sure it sucks for the crew but end of the day they are paid to deal with the travelling public (as...

    Qantas starts international wifi

    I think one of the NBN ground stations has been having issues causing no or reduced performance to certain beams. The way it works is one ground station powers a random selection of beams so such outage isn’t limited to a section of Australia but rather random areas. There are around 5 ground...
