This one still isn't in California either. Certainly NOT in the timeframe you've mentioned. Rain depression... Go look at the projected track and you said QF11 tomorrow. Scheduled to land at 7 am? When the cyclone is still projected to be in Mexico. Australia gets Cyclones, Qantas is familiar...

Hardly a concerning hurricane at this point. The projected track has it still off the Mexico coast at 1 pm on Sunday, according to CNN https://edition.cnn.com/2023/08/19/weather/hurricane-hilary-california-southwest-tropical-storm-saturday/index.html 1692444504 yeah, we've never had anything...

Here are the seat maps for those interested. https://www.qantas.com/au/en/qantas-experience/onboard/seat-maps.html A bit of self research will show A320, Fokker100, some 717s and Dash 8 (of course) without business. I'm not sure Qantas would be flying a Dash8 MEL-BNE, but there is always the...

It would seem some people don't travel enough. :lol: The european vaccination proof rolled off just after I went to Germany, Austria and Hungary late May last year. But I had to show proof of vaccination to fly into Europe. I would have needed proof to fly to Austria or Hungary from Germany as...

As a general rule people should NEVER accept the downgrade. Sorry to the OP. But my advice, never wait for them to offer an alternative, and never accept a downgrade. Always ask, what alternative flights are available in business class. You might have to decide if the alternative suits your...

already on 1400 status towards requalification. Could've send that qatar business return to europe to VA... Not too bothered since this was all required flying. Now if there was 20% on Platinum one qualification, that would be an incentive to spend with Qantas over focussing on VA requalification.

Yes, my bad. Sorry. I re-watched the 4 Yorkshiremen last night, and yes, it does look like I was saying "luxury". Neither situation is good. Facing a blank wall is just as bad, and also much more frustrating. But not worse.

Thanks Op. Well done... I'll have to defend qantas slightly on this to say that at least they have phone numbers and there is the ACA. Offtopic= By comparison Ticketek is a complete blank wall, aside from maybe an email address. They will happily rip you off and deny a refund for their error...

Well, Michelin employ 1000s of inspectors who go to 100s of restaurants. It seems to me the main (only?) impediment to implementing the same ranking approach to airlines is money. I completely agree the financial cost would be massive to normalise all the factors your mention for airline...

What is your opinion of the Michelin Star system as a ranking system? In the context of independent or an alternative to skytrak process. Is that a realistic way for airlines, do you think? I'm not ignoring the fact that Michelin must need good income to cover their expenses. Maybe the expense...

Recently I've found virgin J is often less that economy flex on both virgin and qantas. Certainly don't need status in that situation. that's probably changed now, and hence status becomes important

besides the headline status or points, has anyone got any of the promised extra special treatment?

Not paying $150 for a good seat in Qatar economy. Paid on the way back, world of difference...

Well, that's in most states and the separation distance depends on the speed limit. The thing I observe the most is drivers who overtake cyclists in the situation you describe unsafely. I've never been in a hilly situation where I could not overtake safely and maintain the required separation...

Fixed it for them - It's the observer's frame of reference. Is there more than one standard of time? Do we all just use SI?

I am talking about cyclists. It was right there in my post. Of course, the rule is about Unreasonable Obstruction As long as other drivers are not obstructed, you can drive any speed (below the limit). And picking up the driving to conditions stuff raised in thread. A driver can obstruct...

not when i have 4 guests

1. Cyclists DO NOT DRIVE. 2. Read again - they CANNOT unreasonably obstruct the road by driving slow. 3. A cyclist is NOT obstructing the road since other drivers, who are actually driving, can EASILY pass them 4. Yes, you CAN drive 50 kph below the speed limit, as long as you DO NOT obstruct...

A rule about obstructing the road that is irrelevant to a cyclist. It sure as hell does not impose a minimum speed limit, unreasonably obstructing is the rule. Cyclists can easily be overtaken, unlike a car. Read it again. I've emphasised a number of key words that you seem to have ignored...
