Most of the last month, certainly. Prior to early January it just seemed like a normal Brisbane summer - warm and humid. Admittedly, the advice I got when I moved here has kept me in good stead - live east of Logan Rd ...and the further, the better :cool:

Your wife will attain Gold either on the day or day after she passes the required number of SC's, and then she'll have 12 months from that date to obtain another 400SC to retain.

Slightly off the original topic, but (if you don't mind me asking) how many Mileageplus points is the Polaris upgrade asking for, and what fare type are you upgrading from??

Pity there's an Easter blackout... :|

Gold for me. As a Brisbanite I'm happy to help with organising.

That's how it was on Saturday morning. Back of house refurbished affecting ability to wash plates/cutlery. Unfortunately the paper plates are cake size...and not Mr Hawk cake size either 😑😑

In the BNE lounge for the next hour or so. VERY quiet...as very little going out until 830 onwards. Bacon and scrambled eggs on the menu this morning... so I guess that means bacon on my pancakes! Also a couple of signs up asking for understanding "as we temporarily transition to disposable...

Disappointed, definitely. Surprised, definitely not. Someone's obviously thrown it up as a potential income earner without considering the potential backlash.

Another survey out to members today: "Today, we're interested to hear your thoughts and opinions on cancellation flexibility for airline tickets." Basically, are you happy to pay an amount for an add-on to a Lite or Choice fare to allow for 80% of the airfare to be refunded if you choose to...

You can switch who is the recipient of family pooling. I gifted Mrs Hawk SG, and then we switched to her being the recipient so she can retain Gold before my status year restarts in May. You'll need to cancel Family Pooling, wait a day and then restart the Family Pooling in the opposite direction.

Noted. You may get lucky and have the SC credited after 28 March, but I wouldn't be hanging my hat on it.

Generally the DSC activity dates will be the same dates that you flew.

Each time I've had an "Airservices Australia" delay in BNE in the past 12 months it's been due to "ATC staff shortages" in BNE, that are still unresolved?

Spot on. They will ask for your credit card details over the phone, but apparently that's a bit tough for an e-form 😑😑

Current forecast for Brisbane and Gold Coast this weekend is 0-30mm of rain per day. Further north than that is a different matter. As @Saab34 said, no VA bases north of BNE would hopefully mean they're minimally affected.

Compared with paying full whack for J, you're getting the J product (seat, meal, drinks) at a cutback price. Sure you don't get the SCs, but 🤷‍♂️

I got paid upgrades last year in both directions with minimal overs on the lowest possible "bid" price. Well worth it for the business space on the way over and for the recline + legroom on the red eye.

I flew ZL to Roma on a Saab last year. First and last time, until QFLink get the QLD regulated routes back.

No need to go in and out of immigration at Singapore unless you happened to have an inbound flight where you needed to collect and recheck your bags. If they're both SQ then no issue there.

It's always been tenuous. I'd recommend calling.
