I guess the beancounters answer to the toilet queue will be to "enhance" the PJs. No more PJs = smaller toilet queue = fewer toilets required = maybe we can squeeze a few more seats in ;). Can't wait.

In the last few weeks I've done SIN - PER 3 times: 1. QF 00:40 arrival time 2. QF 04:40 arrival time 3. SQ 14:40 arrival time I'll leave you to guess who is my new best friend for this trip. As I said in my last post - Qantas aren't making it easy to support them in Perth.

It's interesting how QF is gradually making it harder for those of us in the West to fly with them. When WP1 was introduced I went back and looked over my flying for the last few years and noticed that whilst my typical SC earn has been fairly constant at around 5000/yr the SCs with a magical ~...

Hi all, I'm off to Club Med Cherating Beach resort with the family in a few weeks time. I've booked the flights separately (QF to Singapore then Firefly to Kuantan). The last piece in the jigsaw is to get from Kuantan to Cherating Beach. Club Med will organise a transfer for $125 but is...

Isn't this why noise cancelling headphones were invented?

I find this quite interesting - did the CSM come round and say "is there anything I can get you" and you replied "yes please, PJs, J drinks, etc" or did the CSM offer those things in the first place (i.e "Hello Mr TonyHancock would you like the PJs", etc)? I've had the question asked a few...

Would be interested if anyone has confirmed this with DJ - I'm in a similar position (requalified on SCs but only flown 3 DJ sectors)

I couldn't change from SQ FF to DJ FF online and so asked the check in agent to change it for me at the airport. I subsequently found that only the first flight in each direction credited to DJ, whilst the second flight credited to SQ. The lesson (I think) is that I should have got the lounge...

Thought I'd give a quick update on this - not sure if my experience is typical. I was unable to change my FF number from Singapore to Virgin online and so made the change when I checked in at Perth. Also did the same thing on the way back (i.e. made sure at ICN that my DJ FF number was in the...

A couple of weeks ago a FIFO friend of mine was telling me that the company he works for had just shifted to qantas - so I guess it isn't all one way traffic to Virgin

My OpUp rate has actually dropped since becoming WP1 (I suspect that it's due to the improved upgrade process for those using points - but have absolutely no facts to back this up ;)).

I've got all ten, although Schiphol and Zurich were a few years ago. Either Schiphol has changed a lot or my memory is playing up - I remember it as a bit of a tip

As mentioned above the Westin Chosun is fine. I usually stay at the Lotte.

I'm off to South Korea in a couple of weeks time PER - SIN - ICN flying J on SQ. My PA has automatically put my SQ frequent flyer number into the booking. However I'd like to credit the flights to my DJ frequent flyer number (this will see me retain platinum). I've had a look at my booking on...

It took me just over 6 months to requalify. Hard to predict the future - I've got a trip next week but no travel planned after that (not an unusual situation). Op-up situation seems to have got worse if anything - none since P1 introduced. I wonder if the new upgrade process is having an effect.

When thinking about my loyalty to Qantas I suspect that a lot of it is irrationally tied up in the occasional op-up to F. Reducing the potential for this may finally make me reconsider.

When I was in 1B I didn't find that the space was useful - too high up and far away to be used as a table, not at all like the old 4A or the new row 5 seats. Although it may be recessed it still means that there is less legroom for the first row than for other rows - issue isn't with the seat...

Good idea to move from 1A - it's very cramped on the new config. From memory 5B is really an aisle seat with a largish table/storage space next to it (presumably where they couldn't quite squeeze in 5A) i.e you're a fair way from the window anyway. The skybed doesn't usually get in the way of...

Don't have a problem with internet access - great idea, well done Qantas, look forward to it. But charging business and first class passengers for the privilege - come on, they've got to be kidding

So let me get this straight - i pay $10k for a business class ticket to the US and then find that Qantas haven't sucked enough money out of me and they want to charge for internet access - they really are dropping into LCC land.
