    Two-nderful

    If wonderful is what you're looking for, look no further than the original 'S Wonderful ad from 2012! Now those were the days when I truly loved this airline. New ad is ok and got a laugh out of me, it is certainly better than the toupée ad but wow, things have certainly changed.

    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    Interestingly enough I requested a kit after dinner but the FA forgot and I fell asleep for a bit anyway. After breakfast service I just asked if she'd had any luck finding one, she was aghast at having forgotten and insisted I take a second kit as well to give away to someone. Good service...

    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    01/04/24 | SQ221 | SIN to SYD Somehow managed to find a J Reward seat through VA over the Easter long weekend and couldn't say no to that! This was my first ever experience of Singapore Airlines Business Class. After some shopping at Jewel I made my way to the T3 SilverKris lounge. Not sure if...

    Good News! Pyjamas on (almost) all Qantas international flights in J!

    No pyjamas on QF291 on 28/03/24 either, however I saw a YouTube review from a flight earlier than mine where they did offer them, so availability seems to be intermittent at best at the moment.

    Qantas Business Class meals & menus

    28/03/24 | QF291 | SYD to SIN A highly anticipated opportunity to try the combined Finnair/Qantas experience. For this flight I was seated in 1A, which I would have to say is one of the better seats given the deeper footwell. Quite interesting to have the Qantas amenities / dining /...

    QF Upgrades - Successes or Failures (post results)

    QF291 SYD-SIN tomorow, advised at T-28 hours. Requested the upgrade primarily to try the Finnair AirLounge concept, also figured that given I will drop to Silver in July this might be one of my last chances for a while to benefit from the higher priority in the upgrade queue. Looks like it will...

    Pics like this are a great reinforcement of my decision not to chase QFF status renewal this year 😄

    Double Status Credits promotion (Book by 27/2/24, travel 28/2/24-14/2/25)

    Might sit out this promo. Have flown mostly with VA and on QF partner flights where I didn't get status credits (CX and EK) this membership year so I need 520 to requalify for Gold. Has been a nice run since first getting it during the status match offer in 2021!

    I'm in the QF Lounge thread

    Good evening everyone from the Hong Kong lounge. First time here and I can understand the attraction of the caramel cheesecake, it is divine!

    Earning points on Air Canada Rouge

    Rouge, Jazz and mainline Air Canada are all unified under the AC code and will credit as AC. That said, if this is a domestic flight and I expect being Jazz it is, I have found very few domestic flights are eligible for points or status credit earn, even if part of a longer international...

    Instant IHG Diamond Status by Registration

    This. In early 2020 (pre-covid), they renewed my status despite not meeting the requirements. Wondering if they intend to do something similar this year. It seems most people who earned enough to get Plat or close to Plat have been ineligible for the recent point purchase offer so it may be a...

    Virgin Australia Business Class - Meals, Menus & Service

    19/11/23 | VA875 | MEL to SYD Boarded on time with a warm welcome from Christy and CM Kim. PDB was offered so already an improvement over the SYD-MEL flight! Meal orders were taken on the ground in the traditional order. I thought taking orders on the ground was a great idea, at the time...

    Virgin Australia Business Class - Meals, Menus & Service

    16/11/23 | VA878 | SYD to MEL I was a bit apprehensive about this flight after reading Luke B's post from the same flight the previous night and it turned out I had good reason to be. Probably the worst experience I have had to date on a VA J flight, and that is including the snack box period...
