+1 for Intelligentsia - there's one in Old Pasadena (North East LA) that I always go to when in town.

Agreed - I went through DFW a couple of days ago. There was no queue for a kiosk (but then I've never had much queing there in the past), then all the ESTA people were directed to a set of immigration officials after baggage collection who asked the usual questions and stamped our passports. As...

Re: This thread doesn't matter... Honest, you don't need to check.. It's about SC Met 9 months into my year. 3600 SC 2200 with Qantas plus about 4-5 international in J with either *A or EK (i.e. points but no SC to QFF)

The one downside I've found with the lounge at Hamed is the number of showers - it always seems to be busy. A tip for the men out there. If the usual showers are full I've been directed to the VIP (men only) area which is towards the downsairs restaurant. Much larger and nicer showers than in...

Has the 2400 SC level changed - it used to be any SC's counted, now it seems to imply that they have to be earnt on QF flight numbers??

5400 gone forever. Suspect this will be my last year of WP1 as I only managed 2800 on QF. All starts again today with a short BNE - PER leg.

Re: New LA QP Opens June 17 - AUSBT I was in there on 19th in the evening and the person in front of me was turned away with a Qantas complimentary lounge pass. Lounge was absolutely packed - standing room only.

Re: Not lot of time to use QP int lounge at Syd, if connecting flight is from Aust do Should have also added that I travel with hand luggage only - as you rightly point out the ability to accept tight connections is much greater this way

Re: Not lot of time to use QP int lounge at Syd, if connecting flight is from Aust do I'm probably the odd one out here but I'm more than happy for QF to have short connection times - it minimises the amount of time I have to be away from home. i.e. last week I took the QF574/11 combination...

Hi all, Just wondering if any WP1's have experience with the number of guests allowed in the Sydney Flounge? I believe the published limit is one guest (and I presume that kids under 18 don't count as guests) but I was wondering if any WP1's have experience of discretion being shown for an extra...

Iron and ironing board - can't understand how come so many hotels don't provide them in the room

I have a lot of sympathy for the OP - I to am a Perth based WP1 and will hit around 5500 SCs this year (slightly up from last year). However I'll likely miss the 2700 requal because there's both fewer QF flights and it's simply getting harder and harder to find reasonably priced QF flights from...

My last one come 3 days out - J to F in Jan

Re: EK upgrade love J to F op-ups on QF9 DXB - LHR, EK008 LHR - DXB and EK423 DXB - PER a couple of weeks ago. Got to love those school holidays. It did, however, remind me that I prefer QF F to EK F - I suspect that I'm in the minority.

That's a bit like saying "if there's a touch sensitive seatback screen then I can press it as often as I like" regardless of the fact that it might irritate the person in the seat in front. Everyone needs a bit of consideration for fellow passengers - both the recliner and the reclinee. I must...

It's not the 3600 that I struggle with - it's the 2700. Being Perth based getting the ~ is becoming increasingly difficult. I'm currently 4 months into my year with 2000 SCs in the bank and 1500 booked for the next couple of months. Unfortunately only about 600 will be on QF flight numbers...

After fumbling with my calculator I find that my 5"9" is 175.3cm :D. Now I know why I'm ok stepping over people (although I must admit to a couple of unsteady moments after the G&Ts and reds have taken full effect)

I used to be a dedicated centre seat person so as to avoid being a climber or climbee. Last few flights I've alternated between centre aisle and window and am becoming a bit of a window fan again. I really like the side storgae bin and the extra space it gives you. I don't find it a problem to...

Absolutely correct - I find that gin does a pretty good job though :). To the OP - I'm sure it'll be fine, I've travelled with babies in J in the past and it was a lot easier to keep them amused, get them to sleep than it was in Y. For a 4 hour daytime flight I can't see any problems.

I've generally been very happy with the P1 SST - a couple of times they've helped out when they've seen flights being delayed and connections that I'm in danger of missing. My only complaint about P1 is the shadow thing - I'm sure I get it less that I did as a WP. It just irritates me when I...
