Do they actually ask to see the boarding pass of the guest?

I understand that both the 747 and A380 have a rudder split into two sections that can move independently, while smaller jets (e.g. 767, 737) normally have a single section rudder. From what I have noticed sometimes both sections move in unison, while other times they will move differently. Does...

The Financial Review seems to usually have good information on Qantas. There have been a few cases where the FR has reported things and they have eventuated in a few months now the track. They appear to have a good source

Maybe I am missing something, but what is so great? Seems like like standard Emirates first class service.

Shanghai is a quite new city by Chinese standards. You don't really have much of the ancient history that you get in Xian or Beijing. There is plenty to see and do. One thing I liked was the communist propaganda museum although it is a bit hard to get to. Scams to watch out for: 'Art students'...

MH sent an email out to Enirch members last week. It doesn't really say a lot, just confirms what has been already announced.

Oh, I must have missed that. I'll have to give them a call see what can be done.

Has anyone recevied tickets or anything else? I registered via the link in the email before the RSVP deadline. It seemed to work fine and accept the registration. However haven't received anything further about it. Are they supposed to sent out tickets? Or do they just put your name on a list...

That was from a British show called the Real Hustle, not sure if it was ever showed in Australia. Although Channel 9 did there own remake of it a couple of years ago.

I must admit I have a slight prejudice against Apple. But solely between those two I would say that the iPad 2 is the better option. Just better hardware, easier to use, also Apple tend to provide more updates for older hardware. Personally if I were in the market for a tablet at the moment I...

From the website Eligibility and Access to The Qantas Club Lounges | Qantas 'Also' is the important word. To me it is clear that both the J passenger and the guest must be travelling on Qantas flights. For other access combinations when the guest doesn't have to be travelling it explicitly...

Would you ever get the case where the plane has been overfilled with fuel? Say a plane has been fueled to get to LAX and then it is swapped to fly to Singapore. Does that ever happen? If so would they empty the excess fuel? Or just fly with the extra fuel and just recalculate everything to take...

Another Oneworld only option would be to fly to BKK with Qantas (or Jetstar) and then Royal Jordanian from BKK to KUL. Although they don't fly on the days you indicated and would require an overnight stay in BKK. I end up going to KL a few times. First times I went via Singapore then I realised...

I didn't even pick that up that they were domestic only passes. They aren't really that much benefit. Maybe for some one with a long domestic connection they might be worthwhile. Or if they wanted to have a shower after connecting from an international flight. But for most airports would be...

If you are flying enough in a year that you would really benefit from this trick then you are probably flying enough to get silver status and so would get the same priority check in benefit through status anyway.

From what I have heard it has been successful. As long as nothing major changes I would expect it to keep going, at least for the foreseeable future. Of course the 747-400ERs will have to be retired one day. Could an A380 do the flight? Of course if the 787-900 lives up to its spec sheet and...

SQ don't have their own lounge at DPS. Both DJ and SQ use the Premier lounge. As a Velocity platinum travelling economy to BNE I got access no trouble a few months ago.

I haven't stayed there but visited colleagues who were staying there. It seemed alright, a good hotel. Personally I think there are better options in KL to choose from. Although it is the the central city it is a bit out of the way. Nothing much within reasonable walking distance. Only really...

Just a fact of life - airlines change their schedules and have delays. With a LCC you just have to live with it. Even a premium airline might not offer you much for a daytime delay or reschedule. If you have travel insurance you might be able to claim the cost of the room. I once had a flight...

Anyone traveling on private travel with staff or industry discounts would be first to be downgraded.
