Last night I was stuck in Sydney because I was visiting a friend who had flown in from the US, and because they were loyal to United (and 1K), they insisted we travel back on Virgin Australia. My status with them is zero. The wild weather predictably caused chaos and unfortunately, our flight...

I don’t believe we have a philosophy forum, but your question could touch on so many hazardous topics. What went wrong? War, religion, famine, over-population… capitalism I think takes a back seat to that. They’re all older than capitalism, perhaps 🤔

Very tempting @Buzzard but I think wrong timing in my life – that and I’ve visited twice this year already! Plus my allocations are close to zero haha 😂 Actually opened this thread tonight because I spotted this in a bar tonight…

This is a bit of a blast from the past. To me, much like you back then, time doesn't cost me a lot, but I always found it to take far too much time to change from train to bus to domestic transfer bus. And like you, I gave up on drinking myself silly in the lounge. I'm not near a train line...

Despite @JohnK posting after you, he did send me a PM before you (at 9:48) – I then told him to at least reply to the thread so there was a paper trail. Sorry!

If you have to result to name calling to get a point across... It's not hard to say his name, or is this a children's playground? I'm sure there are many reasons to get new blood in the role, but what do you think the next CEO is going to do differently? Give everyone pay rises across the...

As the title suggests, I have one of these to give away from a recent booking I have made. Only requirements I have beyond being first in to ask for it is to have been a member for at least a week with at least 5 posts to you name. Provided you meet that requirement I'll PM you with the code...

Realise I am very late to this party, but had the tasting menu at Coriole in March and we thought it was very good value.

As post 13 notes, by turning the setting on you are given a choice, but turning it off means they don't get a choice to even ask you. I have a feeling when (App Tracking Transparency) ATT launched and Facebook cried all over town, Apple by default left that setting on so apps could ask and users...

Exactly, this thread is based on an observation and an assumption. Nothing in it is fact, and it might not have even happened. Could be just designed to start trouble. @TheInsider provides information about the actual processes and other QF bashers disgruntled QF members of late come in and pile...

Unless it's in their contracts, or are you in favour of eroding staff benefits that have been painstakingly negotiated? Removing such benefits would likely lead to lower morale and worse standards of service.

Without said customer providing their side, this thread is a lovely bit of hearsay, but I would have to agree with @TheInsider as the first thought that came to my mind before I was even halfway through the first post was that the staff member was obviously on duty. It sucks, and I'd honestly...

Agree there's no issue with service at the property, but during their very long soft launch I was disappointed in what I received for the price paid. I believe since my last visit the lounge is now open all day, among other things, but don't know if they're still staggering evening drinks –...

If you head to "Settings" > "Privacy" > "Tracking" and flip the toggle for "Allow Apps to Request to Track" to off, you'll never be asked again. I did this a while ago, I no longer get pop-ups asking for permission when launching new apps, and when I updated my Accor app just now it loaded...

The problem with posting a code so publicly is that you'll often have a lurker or someone who doesn't even have an account use it, and never give back to the community. Not saying that necessarily happened here, but it can sometimes be better to offer it and wait for a reply, perhaps with the...

Accor Plus Platinum: Art Series The Larwill Melbourne – can't recall a gift but 2 whole bottles of wine, same with an Accor Plus Gold friend. Sofitel Darling Harbour – bottle of wine and water, drink vouchers. Sofitel Adelaide – nut mix in a mason jar and drink vouchers (by far the most...

For those interested, the White Frontignac is now available to order online. I'm also attending a Stonewall lunch in early January (11th) if anyone else is, but have exhausted my spots for my first foray haha – everyone wants to be my friend!

I'm travelling QFLink today, but I think the Q400 is leather right? I guess the trick is getting something that will last the distance of how many thousand bums in its lifetime? It's not like your car seat where you're in shorts, most people are in trousers, right? All I remember was being...

Are you 100% certain it was a classic reward though? Not perhaps, an any seat (do they still use that term) or points + pay perhaps?

This is an interesting turn of events. I wait to see if a person could be a member of QR’s loyalty program and earn/burn on either QF or VA alternately, and in the process decimating the number of active members in either frequent flyer scheme. If someone said I could effectively fly on either...
