    I wouldnt be anxious about SK1 - apart from IFE but I supply my own anyway. It isn't as good as the SK2 but both are a very long way from whY...

    Int'l I am rarely awake on take off. I tend to stay awake for the briefing but am then asleep for the remainder of the taxi, take off until the pre-dinner drinks are served. I too have slept through an entire domestic flight - and I had even upgraded to J...

    Do you do anything to prepare for a plane crash?

    I don't consciously do anything to prepare myself for a crash more than I would when getting in my car, crossing the six lane highway to get to the train, eating blow fish, wearing a tie at a wedding or any of the other myriad of day to day activities that are more likely to kill us than air...

    Some basic common sense and decency seems to have left the building.

    I am not a huge fan of the like button. It sometimes feels like a bit of tokenistic thanks. If I use it - I will often then quote the post and comment on it.

    2 x Gold better than 1 Platinum?

    The lounges in the US are different - many have just been for paid lounge memberships - no free drinks for them either. The rest of the world is more sensible ;)

    Status points with BA

    Is it a BA flight number SIN-BNE - if so then you should be able to request an upgrade unless booked into a non-upgradeable fare class? BA wont be able to help re upgrades. I have however heard of people paying at the airport for upgrades on BA - might be worth a shot. Just be aware that PE...

    Some basic common sense and decency seems to have left the building.

    Had read this a couple of times and the associated thread to be sure I understood what we were getting at here. I have been here a little while now and this sort of thing and other "rudeness" issues don't really bother me that much now. If someone gets snarky when asking for info then I simply...

    The ex-QFF benefits list. What do you miss the most?

    I think this is a great point - there is a distinction BUT I find it hard to separate them really.

    Tale of 2 brekkies [or Qantas "Cafe" Breakfast Sucks!]

    Re: Qantas Cafe Breakfast Thing is that if they start a full b'fast meal service all the lights will be on and there will be trolleys so that those that want to sleep cannot. I think one issue of the late wake up would be the queue for bathrooms to get changed out of PJs.

    A380 Seat for J Class

    In front of the AB seats is the CSM's area so no real reason for people to be trafficking through that area. We have 12ABE for our upcoming trip. Four year old in 12A :D

    Ask The Pilot

    I assume no loyalty/status points are awarded so the need to be aware of brand etc. is probably limited.
