In our enthusiasm to take part in the AFF Christmas do, we booked QF8 and JQ35 to get the MEL with a Flounge interlude in SYD.
A while ago, JQ35 was cancelled, and pax like me were suggested onto other JQ dom flights. Quelle Horreur darlings.
Some sweet talking (very hard for me, I much prefer a Teutonic directive delivered quickly and followed) made sure we ended up on JQ1 with other AFFers.
And then this morning, I try to check in and QF8 is LATE, what a surprise. Knock me over with a feather and call me Fifi.

A quick call to my special WP line friends, and we're rebooked. Being on the phone is so much better than eating breakfast when you're watching calories. :/ And luckily my man servant couldn't "sneak" us onto a direct flight!!!

We are re-booked on a dom flight. We have row 4. We will get a chance to taste the delights of the BNE Dom J lounge this year, as it will be closed next week when we fly to Sydney with Little Munchkin. But I won't get to finally show Mr Katie the BNE Intl "Platinum" lounge (can't really call it a Flounge now, can you, there's no pav or calalmari and almost every time I've asked for a massage, I get no takers. Except that one lady with very sensible shoes).

But what I really want to know - what kind of compensation will QF give me for me not being able to self-serve gulpfuls of Taittinger in the Plat lounge? Will there be some in the Dom J Lounge?
I ruddy well hope so after losing my precious seats 43H & K with an empty J seat, on a 747, for my beloved to have to suffer the indignity of a MIDDLE seat all the way to SYD on some 73something. Sounds like a JQ plane. And the dear deity only knows where the heck we will be sitting on JQ1. Someone's laps, I can only guess.

So, where will my ruddy Taittinger be???
(And you must imagine the lovely ladies in Reims saying "Taittinger" - taytinjay - not how many *ahem* JQ pax might attempt to pronounce it).

Well???
;) ;) ;)
