Jack, I feel sorry for you, but surely there was other food on-board, even a bread roll and an apple would have been better than nothing. I was on a 15 hour QF flight from Singapore to London and was told by the attendant that they had run out of meals. I was the only one that missed out. The...

I'm proud to be an Aussie. However there have been many occasions when I've been overseas, particularly in the terminals, that I've seen Aussies performing like morons, something like a cross between Bazza McKenzie, Crocodile Dundee and Strop, and they think they're being cool. It is an...

The shampoo and soap are ideal for taking to the gym...don't take up too much room in my bag. I have a heap eye shades, but no takers in the family.

Thanks Gizzard. I appreciate your advice.

Hi Gizzard I fly from Sydney. I have about 112,000 points. What do you mean by JASA?

Hi everyone, I know my question is not totally related, but I need to earn QFF 40 status credit points before 20th Sept. I am not flying internationally again until October but have a domestic to Adelaide in 2 weeks. Any suggestions?

Security checks at Shanghai (Pudong) Airport are also a bit "over the top". After clearing customs and immigration, your passport is checked at the gate, then again (with a bag search) after the gate, then a 3rd time on the air bridge before boarding. No liquids >100ml are allowed on the...

My bad experience was last July travelling QF from London to Singapore with my wife. The plane was 100% full. The flight attendants (except one) were rude and uninterested in passenger service. My entertainment system didn't work, so I reported it to a male attendant, who I likened to a...

Thanks for sharing your fascinating story missafternoondelight. You went through a tough time. Hope you're OK now. I bought 2 pair of sports compression socks ("name brand" to my daughters approval) on a UK website for the same price as 1 pair in Australia (incl. freight cost). I wore them...

I put my travel documents in a document wallet which contains my passport, immigration card, boarding pass, etc. I keep this in the front zippered section of my carry-on bag in the overhead locker. I also keep a pen, a copy of my passport number, visa number (if applic.), address of where I'll...

I fly from Sydney to Shanghai several times a year and always choose an aisle seat. It gives you the freedom to get up, stretch, and move around whenever you want without disturbing anyone. A window seat is good only when taking off and landing, but during the other times, the shades are drawn...

Thanks to Rob, Skip and Katie for the FF lingo explanation. Cheers Allan R

I'm getting confused with all the airline lingo folks!! J, Y, Z, Y+, UG, WP. Then I get text messages with LOL, RU, CUZ. WTF? Maybe I'm getting old.

I fly to Shanghai several times a year and alway fly economy because the Business fare is just too expensive. I normally buy a sale fare ticket outbound, and Red-E (upgradable) on the return leg, in the hope of getting an upgrade to Business using points or luck, which I have managed 4 times...

At Shanghai (Pudong) airport they sell duty free alcohol but, on aircraft travelling to Australia, passengers are advised that they cannot take more than 100ml liquid onboard the aircraft. I have nearly been caught out as they don't tell you that at the time of purchase, only in the Qantas...

I have recieved a lot of advice since I posted. I greatly appreciate all your comments.

Thanks very much for your comments. I will check out all the airlines that you suggested. I travel to Shanghai about 3 -4 times per year, so Cathay or Malaysian may suit better.

My wife and I recently flew with Qantas to Europe and return. I have been loyal to Qantas for the past 14 years and am a QC member. I have experience a few problems over these years, but overall have been pretty happy. However on this last occasion, the quality of cabin service, food, and...

Thanks Aubs for your comments.

I have flown from Sydney to Shanghai about 4 times in the last 18 months, each time with Qantas except 1 leg, which was with China Eastern. I am going again next month and was wondering would it be worthwhie going from Sydney to Osaka with Jetstar in Starclass, then a Oneworld partner airline...
