I still lament the loss of the express dinner… I’m usually exhausted so just want a cheese plate and red then catching Zzzs….hopefully they’ll bring these back as the full service just isn’t worth waiting hours for

Heading back into the smoky SYD office…already have a tickly cough from the north americas so this smoke isn’t helping

I’m a bit surprised by the fanfare a note has caused here and on FB. I stay in a hotel 3 nights a week and have gotten these kind of notes for years as Im sure many on this forum have as well…it’s hardly revolutionary. I truly appreciate them when they are accompanied by a few extra drink...

It’s all a dark art but can work to your advantage. I have time restrictions so book flights I feel are going to be cancelled and now QF knows to book me on earlier services just like what happened on todays Syd mel flight

That looks pretty good…although as a weekly visitor I limit myself to salad ingredients only :/

It may have been there too…there were two options

Lallier 2012 v Mumm

I think it’s very gate dependent and time dependent. For me QF suits more a quick duck in pre flight than being first port of call

Received superb service at LAX F recently. Escorted to a table in the reserved section with the behind the bar champagne which was great. Very attentive service and premium hosts were introduced and walked me to the gate despite only flying J. Those flying F didn’t seem to get the same.

Wow Vancouver and the Pacific North west has cleared up so much in the past two weeks! I didn’t see much on arrival into YVR or SEA :( Back on the golden triangle office this week…wishing to be further afield

At the LAX office returning back to Australia. Reflecting on how status really makes travel smoother. Despite all the gripes people have I truly think there are tangible benefits. Thanks to being Marriott Ambassador they managed to secure a very generous checkout after 7pm which is handy for a...

From the Seattle and Boeing office today… Featuring the 777-9s due to enter commercial operation in 2025. 797s are also being talked about which will mirror the 757s The wildfires in BC are making the northwest a bit hazy

There are a few different hikes. They all start just up the path from the Chateau. That was taken at the top of little beehive. They have a tea house about 3km up then can climb further up from there. Would 100% recommend the walks. They’re moderately challenging mostly since there’s a bit of...

Little side trip to Lake Louise

Recent YVR and only posting as I very briefly saw the menu and went with usual options expecting the humpty doo with rice and boi Choi etc to receive a different fish dish. It looks quite small but after a big feed in F and a relatively late departure you don’t want much more. Quite enjoyed...

You’d think I was in FRA or MUC but the YVR maple leaf office today.

Unusual to see an IB A350 in SYD Assuming it’s a FIFA charter unless they are wet leased?

If I was sitting in 1F I’d get a better view but had to make do…a lovely sunset makes up for a little extra flying time

I wouldn’t say no…back in the day when I actually flew Y I’d get J headphones and I took them home but yes the utility is limited as per above.

Single runway ops in SYD which mean an unusual landing path and lots of circling which is always fun for us golden triangle commuters
