This is our third stay at this IC. The first was late January this year. But the staff already know us because when they came to take the drinks order the staff member said a Sav Blanc for Mrsdrron and a Botanicals ( a G&T ) for me. So the canapes for the night. From that I had the mushroom...

I certainly picked the right title for this TR. We have been doing a lot of chilling on this trip. Off to bed before 9pm and not getting out of bed until after 9am. We must have needed it badly. In some ways it has been an annus horribilis for us with Mrsdrron's memory problem diagnosed as post...

In a first for us we pulled into the satellite terminal. I got on well with the FA and she was in charge of the second door. The J pax all headed for the front door but the FA said stay here this door will open first. So I and mrsdrron were the first pax off. Not that it mattered as you have to...

I presume I am somewhere in the over 95% of top flyers. They haven't even bothered to send me the email.

So esim Thailand is cheaper than airolo and much better than the airolo esims I have used in Thailand. Only niggle they obviously want me to rate usage but always the ring is from a Thai woman who doesn't speak English. I may be wrong and scams Thai style or a different service offered so I no...

Now to the food. With the amusee bouche the scallop was nice but the beef bland. They obviously forgot something when i was given my second glass of champagne as now I was served the mixed nuts. By yhis time I was on to the Medoc. The duck salad was nice. I had the Massaman beef. It didn't...

So to the flight on a TG 359. As we couldn't do seat selection or online check in we were in the last row of J. Not good as basically no overheads available for rows 19 and 29 due to safety equipment and crew storage so our 2 carry ons I put into the row 18 overheads and kept an eye on...

On a SQ 359 this year it took 30 minutes to get the Air bridge. Lucky were on the regional variant and in the second J cabin. Virtually all the J passengers were at the front door but knowing BNE they are almost always going to open the second door first so we were first in line there. Guessed...

The lounge is not bad for plane watching. Good to see our plane there.

We arrived at the TG checkin about 15 minutes before checkin was to commence. However it had already started. no one at the J desks so very quick as no checked bags. Couldn't do online check in as LM had Mrsdrron's name down as just her own name. TG insisted it must have the Mrs in front and...

Monday was a quiet day. Started off with breakfast in the club lounge. I gad the eggs shakshuka which were probably the best I have had. Then we went for a slow walk around Double Bay shops. My legs were not co operating that day. And the Golden Sheaf where I spent a bit of my youth. A...

The problem with pseudomonas is that it is often a coloniser and not an infection. If found in blood or in other organ specimens it needs urgent treatment and usually not oral antibiotics. If found in specimens collected outside the body you really need other evidence of infection such as...

Though QF may have to unwind some of these cheaper contracts after the Same job same pay rules were introduced. They were introduced because of the actions of QF.

If I can’t get at least one cent value for redeeming points I don’t redeem. As a consequence I don’t redeem very often. Though on this trip I was lucky and used points for the IC Double Bay and 1 of 2 stays at the IC Bangkok. The 6 night stay in Bangkok was slightly less points than Double Bay...

I hope that is true but Bumrah has already hit a 6.

Basically the only difference between Platinum ambassador and diamond ambassador is the free breakfast. The more valuable extras for loyalty such as suite upgrades and lounge access for a year come only with nights not points.

Good suggestion. It works for hotel programs. However it would benefit customers so unlikely airlines would consider it.

You would need to talk to the shore service desk the day before to make sure you can get of early as taking their bus could be problematic. As well they usually call independent travellers late in the process. But we had an identical experience in Capetown some years ago and we were let off...

A warm welcome @mike roving. No really right answer to whether QF or VA is right for you as it really depends on your circumstances. And those definitely change with time.

Early this year LM had J awards SYD-BKK and return virtually every day but one day they just disappeared.
