    Old Q Tags available at lounges

    The old Q Tags (coasters) are available from lounges freely. Seems Qantas is getting rid of them. Seen reports of them available at SYD Dom J, PER J. I'm sure more elsewhere too. If they're still around on Friday, I might pick another coaster or two up myself.

    Riyadh Air (RX) reveals cabins

    Looks like Riyadh Air (RX) has revealed their 787 cabins and frankly whilst it seems solid doesn't quite have the wow factor that they've been hyping it up to be. Business will be Safron Unity (same as JL a350-1000 and QF a350-1000) although the colour pallete is a bit more lux. At the front is...

    Looks like EK has just taken delivery of their first a350-900 and will have a event soon to show it off. Will be interesting to see what they put in and where they'll fly this. I don't expect Australia to get it anytime soon, but we might see them use it for secondary cities here eventually...

    I just got off the phone with my sales rep at AMEX and they have said that it's perfectly fine and normal to have multiple AMEX business cards (like a QF and a Plat Charge) under the same details. Didn't realise this was possible. Has anyone else gotten multiple cards?

    Air India identity theft?

    This popped into my feed and while I'm not sure on all the details, the implications if true are pretty massive that someone internally may be stealing details and posing as other people. Video itself is both a mix of review as well as their story and unfolding situation as it's ongoing.
