    I'm in the QF Lounge thread

    SYD QF F for an hour or two can guest one First time here in the morning and glad I usually come here in the afternoon. This wouldnt be a great first impression if you've hyped it up as the service is so slow...coffees never arrive and staff seem a bit overwhelmed.

    Aegean Airlines NCE - ATH A3691

    Aegean is a refreshing surprise. I did two flights with them last month in J and both were great including a 20 minute flight where got a takeaway pack with decent turkey salad wrap, muesli bar and couple of beers Arguably better than the legacy EU star carriers absent perhaps Swiss.

    Qantas Business Class meals & menus

    Finally got the updated cheese plate This suited my purpose perfectly. People seem to be quite critical but it’s all very personal. Sometimes I just want pretzels and wine and people say it looks disgusting. Everyone has a very different expectation based on frequency and purpose.

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    Did my first domestic Y flight in a while and got extremely well looked after. I didn’t receive an upgrade but certainly enjoyed a drop or two of the red from the front. I wouldn’t expect this on every service but was pleasantly surprised. Additionally, I was met at the gate from an EK flight...

    How does Marriott treat you as an elite?

    I’ve been viewing the other hotel forums such as Hilton where people seem so pleased to get an extension on their checkout and a one category upgrade as a top tier which pales into comparison as to how Marriott treats their elites.

    My first F experience - LAX-SYD

    I’ve done it multiple times but just to Asia so not the proper F. On a ex LAX I feel the crew have really enjoyed themselves and mentally home and food offering is not as substantial as outbound so wouldn’t be the true F but happy to be corrected by those that have done it recently. Because I’m...

    Curious to hear your thoughts once complete! I've got a flex J LAX-SYD and haven't put in for an F upgrade as yet as looking to take advantage of decent point haul if marginal difference.

    Jetstar-esque carry-on experience with Qantas

    Staff are definitely patrolling more. I had to checkin today ex West coast which was fair enough as carrying an EK goodie bag too Got the below tag for a domestic…didn’t do much but looks fancy

    The Emirates First Experience - What to Expect?

    I agree with this now. This week I got moved to row 2 due to an issue with the seat and felt so exposed when going back to row 1 on the next sector. The seat felt marginally wider too

    The view from my "office"

    Todays office with very light loadings ex FRA My original seat was unserviceable so profuslely apologised putting me in 2K but can choose from any seat. FRA lounge was very pleasant and almost entirely deserted pre-flight.
