Looks great! I had a quick personal stay and opted for Westin on points and got a huge suite. The club access granted via status made Westin a clear winner but on work I’d be tempted to give the RC a go as it looks a few notches above

I understand this probably isn’t the best thread and this is a perennial topic of debate but I don’t get the comparison to VA. I see this on FB all the time and it truly baffles me. As a content QF flyer I don’t understand how you can compare. The ground experience is so subpar, there’s no...

It depends on each persons circumstances but as someone not bound by school holidays I’m a big believer in the shoulder seasons e.g. late May early June was great this year and I got EK F redemptions both ways. I lived in London for a while and vow never to visit when cold…Europe is just...

That halloumi sandwich just might tempt me into actually partaking in a brekky…nice to see some other options sporadically popping up

Heaven forbid 😮…unless its F in which case my comments stil stand

I’ve never seen a single EK staff member ever care about carry on across all classes. FWIW I’m a big Rimowa fan with the soft cover so I can put my toiletries in an easy to reach location though DXB doesn’t require you to remove toiletries so hang onto all amenity kits when transitting.

If you have room then why not but I can’t be bothered as I’m always on the move and usually maxing out HLO weight. I always test their headphones as soon as I sit down and if it’s working I find they do the job reasonably well and if not get them to reset earlier than later.

Can’t they only select from row 8 or something back? Apologies I’m usually one for facts but I feel it would be a fair differentiation based on other OW carriers like BA

HKG flights have been rammed in my experience. I was on a J flex on a recent flight. Even Y was full

I used to carry a proper noise cancelling but now I can’t be bothered taking up that room. I’ve done multiple Asian routes and it’s fine using QF provided including red eyes. I carry AirPods for phone in case entertainment isn’t working and they’re equally as good.

I was just through bne this afternoon and was hoping to see it in action but seems just regional routes are in scope. Either way my flight boarded so early I didn’t get to see anything. I’m still very disappointed they haven’t segregated priority boarding further. OWS should at least be in...

I may have been jaded by the interruption when the updates were occurring just like in mel when the renovations caused upheaval. Hence I’m not looking forward to Syd dom being upgraded. From a space perspective though do you think the new one is worse than the old?

I was hoping it would all end but I tend to agree I don’t think it will affect the marginal flier. I’m a multi week domestic flier and honestly I can’t ascertain a trend in lounge business. Some weeks it’s manic the next it’ll be empty. As a data point I’ve had two flights cancelled this week...

Wow that’s a big call! It was a pokey space that wasn’t fit for purpose imo. Just like the priority boarding thread which could equally be shutdown, be prepared for some upside sometimes and downside sometimes.

Did a quick APAC trip to break up my golden triangles. We have all seen the menu so posting some highlights including the lunch dessert which was a dark choc mousse and hazelnut and the pre landing noodle meal. The fish burger didn’t seem popular so opt for noodles pre landing One slight...

A couple of recent stays as an Ambassador Ritz Carlton Melbourne; Booked: basic received: unsure Marriott members get few benefits but if you’re ready to embrace that then it’s a great property. The service is exceptional at every interaction. The location isn’t ideal for me so will stay here...

Just relocated to QF and got the warm welcome and escort as a P1 Quality of food is great and service is more personal. Had the pork, noodles and salt and pepper squid

After HKG turned it on last night, time to head back to Aus Will relocate to the QF shortly to see how it is P.S. word from the lounge is Pier F reopens next Monday
