Lunch on QF127 (SYD-HKG) earlier this week.

It's been 5 days since my first AY flight (of which there were 3 in total) and still nothing in my account.

Can confirm that pyjamas were offered on the day flight on SYD-HKG (QF127) earlier this week.

Just took a bunch of AY flights, so let's see how long these take to post.

Another tasty meal, this time from SYD to PER on VA559 a week ago. Roast chicken with roasted potatoes and broccoli.

ZL really need to get the transcons going. PER-SYD/MEL/BNE. It will significantly improve the connectivity with their regional flights on both sides of the continent and also provide much needed competition which should drive prices down a bit. The current fares for the transcon flights on QF...

Another go at the roast chicken with creamed corn for lunch on the PER-SYD flight a few days ago. Just as tasty like last time. Went nicely with a g&t.

There should be penalties for drivers doing that nonsense! Luckily that kind of thing has only happened to me twice.

Thoroughly enjoyed the grilled chicken with creamed corn on VA562 (PER-SYD). The dessert wasn't that nice though.

You'd think they'd also provide a pillow and blanket for the transcontinental red-eyes in business, especially when they are so expensive and longer than the trans-tasman flights!

I just don't understand the thinking behind not providing lounge access for business class or high status passengers when flying internationally, especially on their longest route (CNS-HND) using a narrowbody aircraft! In what universe is that acceptable? I will never choose to fly VA...

I had the pleasure of using the EK lounge in AKL in early Feb. Left QF lounge in the dust.

LOL! I've done the same!

So the legroom there is less than in row 3 of the normal planes?

They really should re-open their lounge in CNS. There are a reasonable number of flights in and out of there and it can also be used for their HND flights. A Lounge would definitely sway me away from JQ but, without it, what I end up choosing will come down to price.

Like you, Lemon_Party, I just found out that one of my SYD-PER flights next month has been changed to an all-economy 737-700 as well. Why are they using these planes on the transcontinental flights??? Can someone confirm that row 1 on these planes is the same as row 3 on the 2-class birds?

The compflight link is definitely not working. It takes you straight to the VA site and you'd book a flight like you normally would.

And once again I'm having problems trying to book the Amex Velocity free flight...

I got the letter from Diners today saying that the personal card will end at the end of January. Such a shame. I've had mine since 1995!

Well, I can officially say that the waitlist for the upgrade came through at T-48 ahead of the upgrade bid. At the time, only 2 out of the J seats had been taken and the D fare was still available.
