    Trans-Tasman J

    Had this menu flying from Sydney over to Auckland on QF149. Bottom of menu says September 2017 so hopefully it’s new. The pasta was really delish!

    How far do you go to keep fit while travelling?

    I used to run a lot with the Nike Run Club in Auckland and in Sydney. Whenever I land, I check to see if they have a local run club (only in the big cities). Rock up in my run club t-shirt with AKL and the staff and people are all super friendly. They also know the best routes!

    trying to get a price from Qantas telephone operators for a circle pacific fare?

    The Joys of Travelling With Luggage & No Status

    Re: VA Delays at SYD today That last bit sounds like TSA Pre-Check screening. Sometimes they randomly allow everyone (non Pre-Check and non US citizens) to be screened this way. Happened to me once in Miami.

    New Velocity Cards

    Same! Spent 30 minutes in Rome trying to convince Alitalia that Virgin Australia was not Virgin Atlantic and that VA was a real code. Also a free checked bag as well.

    Is there CX HKG arrival lounge available?

    They also have a small menu to order some eggs from. You can choose between scrambled and poached etc. I always love the siu mai (little meat cubs wrapped in a yellow dumpling). Always grab a plateful!

    re: Discussion/Q&A on Best QF Status Run Options I think DCA-ORD-MIA-MCO. Booking though Birmingham seems to throw a spanner in the works.

    Discussion/Q&A on Best QF Status Run Options

    re: Discussion/Q&A on Best QF Status Run Options Hey guys, Been doing a lot of lurking on these forums. I'll be in the US for a few months next year and trying to find some runs out of preferably DCA (Washington D.C.) or JFK. I've only tried the routes to South America but I'm not having much...

    Re: QF Upgrade Success Rate Upgraded from Economy (L) to Business on QF6 (11th November) using points literally requested at T-25 (10 minutes from when OLCI opened). Upgrade came through at T-12 when I went to check my booking though I didn't receive a text message. QF Club Bronze. I think...
