    Those look great - just no bluetooth - too much to ask?

    [Promo Ended]Deep Discount Y currently upgradeable.

    If that was the driver then it would also help their revenue/profit as well.

    Noise Cancelling Headphones

    I have tried both Shure and Ultimate ears - I was never able to achieve the reported level of noise blocking - I didnt get the top end Shure ($200). The issue for me now is the bluetooth element. In fact my current plantronics are in-ear and provide limited noise blocking.

    Receiving Diamond status yet never having stayed in a Hilton - some noob questions

    Re: Receiving Diamond status yet never having stayed in a Hilton - some noob question That is what is said on the website - I am not sure HH's systems are up to that. Hilton status expires at the end of March and everyone who applied got cards that expired the march up to two years after they...

    MH Checkin through QF F counter in Syd?

    Isn't it a simple rule that only the operating carrier can check you in unless you are checking in at the operating carrier of a multi sector trip?

    Qantas Platinum One to Qantas Platinum

    I could have done with a few DSCs this year as I will drop from P1 to WP even though I have flown more frequently on QF this year than last year... I do like the AA system where you can be reecognised on either BIS, Sectors or (effectively) SCs. The thing is that on the AA system you would...

    Noise Cancelling Headphones

    I have had a lot of headphones over the years. The bluetooth I have had are: Jaybrid Freedom - awful fit, horrible charger and no noise blocking Sennheiser MM100 - comfortable, light, went around the back of my head but not good on the train as no noise cancelling or blocking but actually...

    Seat selection options by status

    My understanding is this: CL/P1 - 1 - 2 WP - 3 - 4 SG - 5 - 7 PS - 9 - 11 NB - Any where back from there This is based on generic row numbers so on a 737 it would be rows 4 - 5 for P1 and so on. I would expect as a PS you could get rows 11 - 13 at booking.

    Qantas Reduces YQ Fee, and EK Increases their YQ Fee for FF Awards-

    Re: Qantas, Emirates close fuel surcharges loophole for frequent flyers They came after our award seats in big numbers so I guess fair is fair (or is that fare is fare ;))

    The WP shadow

    Noise Cancelling Headphones

    I have the MX550 and they are great headphones and great bluetooth - in fact they are what I use when watching TV in bed or in the garage (I have an iMac set up to stream TV shows in the garage when I am ironing) - I just want small and light and neat when mobile.

    Noise Cancelling Headphones

    I have looked at those - I really dont like over the head headphones. I am looking at jaybirds bluebuds X which have had a few good reviews - subject to available budget of course.

    iPhone Apps

    There is star wars and space - and in Star Wars there are some levels based on the physics of the space version. I actually don't like the space game.

    QFF profile online - all of my bookings have disappeared

    I think the hard part would be the approval to initiate some form of business interruption event. A couple of calls saying "the website is down" might be user problems rather than a QF problem. If you then take the main page off line you are taking a business critical system offline. It might...
