Well. it seems that Woolies have decided that they're no longer going to offer decent promos, so I for one will no longer be directing my spend to them. Unfortunately, it's our nearest supermarket by a long way, so we do have to pop in for essentials like Panadol.

Yes, I agree, a 330 would be far more preferable. However, for a booked flight to MNL in March, I remorsely felt I couldn't happily handle a 330 in Y from SYD (8 hours), so I cancelled it and booked CX PE for not a lot more. And I do expect to get seamless access to the First Class lounges in...

Yes, those zeros (I have 2) are crucially important. Leave them off and you're a nobody. I'm flying to TPE J in feb and it will be interesting to see how it goes. I'm expecting it to be quite seamless with lounge access....

Yes, that's good, but 3x3x3 on a 787 for 10 hours with any amount of service is pretty brutal, from my perspective.

Yeah, the service is variable and IMO Al Safwa isn't all that others have cracked it up to be. No doubt a great piece of architecture, but it felt "cold" and the staff were rather wooden. The Etihad FCL at AUH beats it hands down IME. And I just don't get why people are paying over the odds to...

He must be immune to pain then. But each to their own. It will be interseting to see if this JQ venture is a success. From my own point of view, it's not a service I'd look at in any class, as I've been to Sri Lanka multiple times, and the airfares out of there towards Europe are no longer...

I wouldn't be flying out of OOL because of the fabulous lounge. But perhaps NTL-CHC might be more interesting. NTL-BNE-MEL-CHC. 180SC for <$1300.

He must be into self torture then. !0+ hours on a JQ 788?

Well, based on my own experiences, I'd rate the lounges as follows: QR - 1 QF(F) - 2 BA - 3 If you want decent(ish) champagne, don't expect to get it at the QF lounge. They're cheapskates when it comes to liquor.

Neither would I (or on any other PAL aircraft type that offered it).

As I've said previously, the American system just doesn't work here (or in the UK with BA for that matter). Bain and co (and the poor shareholders_ will find that out, though at little cost to Bain, as they've smartly protected themselves, but for shareholders, no such luck. Oh, and I think...

I can only imagine that Matt didn't go for an extra legroom seat (free for him), because AFF wanted to publish a review that was relevant to the average flyer.

Well, the American owners, management and consultants created this mess, but I doubt they have the smarts to fix it. Sounds like VA2 is slowly going down the gurgler, to re-emerge as Vigin BLUE. Well done guys. IMO Americans don't understand we're not American and our culture is different...

I wouldn't want to be hanging my hat on that. Is that the best we can say about WSI? What colour elephants come to mind?

I'm not surprised, based on the quality of my recent order.

Yes, of course, but which. I haven't been able to figure it out so far. Perhaps it's to do with me running Win7. I do have 3 Win11 computers that I could try, but really I can't be bothered. If CX wants to play games with its "security" protocols, then fine. I'll just book with someone else and...

Well, FWIW, I flew my booked Jetstar flight CBR-OOL and, surprisingly, it was on time. and no hand baggage weighing. I also managed to get an empty seat next to me, and even have a beer in the Qantas Club at OOL after the flight. Unfortunately only one beer, as the club was closing in 15 minutes...

But if you have no status with EK, will that be of any use to you (assuming you have few other points with them)?

Still in the shower rooms at MEL Dom. Obvious why. They're cheaper than putting a Dyson in each cubicle. Saves the planet too,
