On the <already delayed> flight from Jakarta last night, after a seemingly endless taxi prior to takeoff the above statement was made by the CSM. Not sure why but my first thought was a stowaway was on board! However it turned out to be another drunken Aussie hero who was deplaned for being...

From Flyertalk: I've applied - not a huge fan of Hilton anymore - but it's still better than Marriott.

I have an upcoming flight on EK415 with a 6.00am SYD departure. Does anyone know the latest checkin time for F? I've have only been able to find reference to the general ninety minute checkin cut off. As I am staying at the Rydges across the road I would prefer to stay in bed as long as...

Anyone notice a slight change to the SKII amenity kit in F? The old one had the two zippers on the inside, creating two separate compartments. This has now changed to a single zip (and hence single compartment) and a zip on the outside. The bag is also slightly narrower but significantly...

On today's flight from Wellington a survey was handed out - similar to the one on CX. Is this something new or am I just late to the party? 15 were handed out - 3 or 4 in J and the rest down the back. Questions about normal things: check in, lounge, departure, on board service, seat comfort...

Haven't received an email, but looking at buying some miles, and I see a bonus offer is on for the month of April.

Currently in LHR T3. Wheels down on arriving flight T5 6.20, champagne to lips in dining room in T3, 6.48. Anyone got other examples of when the stars aligned during a transfer?

Yesterday I was on a domestic J flight subject to an aircraft change and no catering was loaded meaning breakfast was this: Normally I wouldn't have minded but I'd just gotten off an International flight where the J "cafe breakfast" was half a toasted cheese and tomato sandwich which I...

Today I was booked on QF11 but due to an aircraft change and the loss of F Class, I am now going tomorrow. As such I had to cancel a separately booked AA flight - as changing it to a day later would have started a domino effect with other flights. The ticket was booked as a non-refundable...

Towards the end of next week I'm thinking of driving to Houston from Austin for maybe a three night stay. Anybody got any thoughts on things to see/do? The St Regis is pricing out quite reasonably so will most likely stay there - in the Galleria area - but am open to other suggestions. I'm...

Read more: Only the best bubbles for Qantas-Emirates A-list Hopefully Emirates picked up the bulk of the tab. Nothing wrong with a PR event, but should Qantas shareholders really be shelling out $300+ on champagne so the normal group of d-listers can have a traveler for the trip home...

In two weeks I have a SYD - MEL flight for which I have requested a points upgrade to J (I know this places me one step away from redeeming points for a toaster). As the title suggests Classic Award Availability exists in J but my request has been wait listed. Any thoughts on this? My...

Recently at the SYD DOM J Lounge I witnessed a lady attempting to use a first class lounge invite to gain access - bluntly (but correctly) told that it was only valid at the F lounge and turned away. Good practice by Qantas? I would have thought that if someone wanted to "waste" the pass on a...

As many would know TID policies include the following: Just wondering how this is defined - is it purely for DFAT "Do not travel" or does it also apply to "Reconsider need to travel" which technically could be classified as a warning against travel?

Some relatives of mine are flying to Vietnam on Jetstar. This involves the standard MEL - SIN Jetstar flight and connection onward to Vietnam with Jetstar Asia. My understanding is that at MEL boarding passes can be issued for both flights and luggage checked through, however the Website is...

Recently I cancelled my Citibank select card. I rang to cancel about six weeks before it expired but the $700 fee had already been charged. During the cancellation process I was told that of course the fee would be reversed. Against my better judgement I did let the customer retention (ie...

I currently use NAB Gold banking as my everyday account. I have been very pleased with it, especially with the zero fees on accessing foreign ATMs. However as this package is changing to $4 per foreign ATM withdrawal I was hoping somebody may have some thoughts on a good replacement product...

I may have missed an existing thread :oops:, but just noticed an improvement when making award bookings. I was looking for a J flight MEL-FRA and noticed that the options now have an information tag which you can house over showing booking class information. This shows for example that the...

On this forum we are outnumbered by the HH crowd - but I thought maybe a thread in a similar vein to the one on the Hilton Forum about how SPG is treating us. I'll start with my last three stays (in November): Sheraton Frankfurt Airport: 1 Night Stay - Cash and Points Rate Assigned Junior...
