What do you get when you cross a hairdresser with a barbarian .....a Barbar.......and where do they like to holiday the most..........the Barbary Coast!

Thanks ! OK it could do with a bit of improvement???

I have been near water spillages ,FA very apologetic .Pax not making an issue of it though. With regards to red wine I guess if it has stained and happened early in a trip making pax endure the sticky situation then some sort of compensation is not unwarranted. Maybe wine glasses could be...

Happy 3000th post thr ! I think VA are giving a certain amount of flexibility to their program with family pooling (status included.)Could keep people interested for more reasons instead of tapping out ?Also points can be transferred or not ,so shop or fly ....more flexibility.I must say I am...

Ok just had first time in the 737-8.It is a nice A/C ,smooth at high alt .Just wondering are they trickier to land than a 320.I say this because the A320 seems stabler at lower alt,or was it purely the weather(as it was rolling a bit before touchdown?)Mel was pretty windy . Is Mel easier than...

My post was about the attitude we receive.Staff perception which is what OP was about . Totally inflexible or lack of knowledge of benefits written or unwritten.OR accommodating which is what OP has also experienced . The knowledge to be prepared for refusals etc even with good status is...

Yes interesting Samh004 ,while most of us say economy is ridiculous ,there is enough out there to tip the scales and be buying cheap,cheap ,airfares to warrant the squished econo seating. Seems even in this thread a 50/50 scenario.

Lounge access has 2 positions A)Appreciation by some B)Abuse by some Implemented by Employees that Over accommodate Accommodate in a balanced way /weighing up member needs...

Congratulations to Captain Ellis .He was the Captain on a flight we had to Dallas on the big bird once.He sounded very professional ,explained everything, and we had a great flight/good weather.

I was only looking at the Qantas website the other day and thinking what the font would like like if it was different .Does look a bit like the virgin font now?It's ok and I guess it will seem better the more you get used to it. I think the silver ties in with cool colours white and red and...

Ok I am jumping way ahead then .Thought there was something to detect large flocks or at least at ATC. I guess the knowledge of migratory patterns is the best defence and keeping bird attractants away from Airports. Anyway all interesting as bird populations begin to climb and having...

I guess the issue of producing plastic whether it is new or recycled is taxing on the environment and resources to make them .Maybe canned water.Sparkling water in cans?Plus they can be flattened to save space and recycled.

OK thanks no drastic changes being picked up on radar.

Pax Mr ###A### boards and is looking for some quiet time , Pax next and family are first time flyers;very very excited yippeeeeee and chattery. Mr ##A## mutters .."Looks like I picked the wrong week to try and read a book on a flight. Mr #A# requests seat change Gets seat change...

That is good to know back ups for back ups .I ride horses and I can tell you everything is based on the centre of gravity .But we have no back ups .If things start to buck we have no back up except our voices with a living animal and our relationship.A good reason why PILOTLESS flights are a...

Yes I did mean on a yearly basis ,I am aware that status resets each year,but thanks .

Yes it won't make much of a dent but it could alter data that is usually deemed from status acquired from flying (very regular flyers) .Lounge access will have a higher influx, as people will find it easier to attain/keep silver at least. The family pooling could for sure give unpredictable...

The status is great but if people are not flying and amassing status won't it complicate airline data/stats flight predictability?

You will have to spend more(as per AP) the more times you take the offer ;next time you may have to spend 90 to get the same points etc . But you can use these times to stock up on non perishables . You still have to be in control and not be dictated about how and when to spend .

Yes exactly!Not the most flexible loyalty scheme for some but they have the bookings through their travel site in answer to this,I guess.So IT IS INFLEXIBLY FLEXIBLE STILL???? I have to weigh up my pros and cons.
