1. Perhaps Delta is showing you just how important to their bottom line you aren't, by this move! 2. I think many might argue that the situation at Delta lounges at the moment demonstrates, that they clearly don't have any such data. YMMV

Well for you, in your preferred programs it is! But I would argue that the single biggest benefit of status in Y is "free upgrades"! (Now, I assume that your preferred program doesn't offer that at all, but Delta's does.) Remember that Delta didn't offer "domestic departure" lounge access...

I have had it out of Melbourne as well, thankfully on delayed departures only so far. Presumably they think most of the "priority" queue will be heading for the plane's front door, so it won't impact them if the back half of the plane heads down the stairs and out onto the tarmac. Thus it's...

Because when she gets to an immigration processing point, the system would see that she isn't departing to an international destination (or a domestic destination with an Australian flagged carrier), and likely reject her at that point in her journey? She would have been processed as...

Possibly, was that when the salad went from the meal service?

Qantas certainly advertised it as an international standard of onboard service. (I paraphase, but they used the specific term "international" to describe the transcon service on flights to/from PER.) The only real difference in J (on a wide-body daytime short sector, that I can think of) between...

Prior to covid-lockdowns, all QF transcontinental domestic flights to Perth were at an international level of service. So it wouldn't matter if you were on an international flight sector number or not, the service would have been to the same standard. Post-covid-lockdowns, that level of service...

Your statement doesn't fit my experience, where pre-departure drinks we routinely offered in the QF domestic J cabins in which I flew. My recollections fits with RichardMEL & GoldCanyon340. Various declining standards over the years, from; sparkling wine, juice, non-alcohol sparkling wine...

I think this is key, US English developed in an environment with much more influence from migrants speaking other European languages, compared to the formation of Australian English. One widely spoken language was German, and for example, in German (translated literally to English) you would say...

They are already using the term "Flagship Business" in some marketing. And AA competes (on the ground) in a market with the likes of AC Signature & UA Polaris, which offer business class ONLY lounges, where no matter what your status you won't get in (DL's new lounge concept may be similar) - so...

But, you would probably say half past one! And even that may momentarily confuse an American. I was on a bus tour in Ireland a few years back, and when we stopped for our lunch destination, the tour guide announced that "everyone needs to be back on the bus by half past two". Much mutter...

I was in the MEL lounge the other day and was watching them unload the plane parked at the gate closed to the lounge window, and two tractors and trolleys turned up at the same time, and parked parallel to each other, All priority bags were pushed over onto to the furthest trolley, which was the...

The chicken burger with the coleslaw (is that the cajun one?)

It doesn't help that MELbourne airport moved the taxi ranks to the extreme ends of the complex, way down past T4 and up past T1, to create the ride-share spot at T2... so if you do want a taxi, and arrive at T3 or T2, the touts have a captive audience, or you have a long walk! It happens...

I have been watching their baggage loading patterns on the tarmac in SYDney over the last few months of flying. And even when it's raining, they are consistently putting the premium tagged bags on last (so they should be first off, in theory, at the other end). When all the baggage comes out to...

What I have noticed the forward seated FA (not the CM) do (far too regularly for it to be more than a co-incidence, and a lot of [mostly-female] passengers taking advantage of far too regularly, for it not to be a service standard), is offer to place row 1 passenger handbags, which have been...

The dessert, is plated on scheduled services around the 3hr length mark and over (maybe as low as 2.5hr), but I am not sure of the precise cut-over point. (The antipasto side plate is an additional item on PER transcon, and twinaisle says above that international is like transcon: so like...

When entering the lounge, I usually check in with a human (generally when HLO, I also check in for the flight at the same time), otherwise, when I have used the machine to check in to the lounge, I sometimes get a quick sideways nod/smile and even once a mouthed "welcome dk4", while the agent at...

For a while in this thread Virgin Australia Business Class - Meals, Menus & Service we were all tracking it... But generally it is: Club Members (or whatever that is called now) always get asked first, then normally zig-zag from 1acdf -2acdf. (Note, order taking and order delivery sequence may...

I don't know, if their composting cost-saving system allows them to deliver an extra menu item onto the tray, compared to others, then I would rather the extra food over the china YMMV. (QF & VA don't serve a dessert on short flights, just a chocolate. ZL does the chocolate plus dessert box...
