RE: Entering Australia at MEL, one should consider the other pax in this situation. If someone no-showed for the MEL-ADL flight QR would spend time paging them, potentially send someone to look for them in the terminal, then have to go through the offload procedure, possibly recalculate the...

Given boarding takes a good 15-20 minutes, if a J passenger boards when priority boarding is called there's plenty of time to finish a glass of bubbles. It doesn't need to be spilling over, but more than half-full would be good.

I just wish VA would fill the glass when doing PDB. And do a second round.

Yes and running it at the time 430/431 goes now.

So they're re-numbering the current EK430/431 to EK434/435 and vice-versa and then the new EK430/431 is operating at about the same time as the former EK432/433 (which went via SIN).

You can buy access to the Plaza Premium Lounge, but I'd suggest just going to one of the bars instead.

Last year I flew QR out of BNE and had QR Gold on my BP at check in and then changed to VA to get points/credits before departure. Because of this I was able to go to the QF and NZ lounges, was able to select seats for free and received a welcome on board from one of the cabin managers...

AY and JL flight times on HEL-HND are about the same (13.5 hours) but they each take a different route. JL goes south through eastern Europe then across central Asia and China. AY goes north to take the polar route then down over the Pacific.

They haven't resumed JFK yet.

Is that considered north Asia? QF haven't returned to HKG yet anyway.

Not disagreeing with you about QF's routes these days, but it's not quite as you mention. - They fly to 5 NA cities not 6 (HNL/YVR/SFO/LAX/DFW (now from MEL and SYD)). - There is only two cities served in north Asia (HND and ICN), which is less than 3 years ago when they flew to...

They're still going Transit Tours | Discover Qatar. I was in transit in November and wanted to do the city tour but couldn't get a Hayya card.

I've often had the CM show J pax what the meal looks like. Used to be from a printed service document now it's on the iPad. Makes deciding very easy!

BNE has always been a QSuite destination. QR have 3 (or could be 4) different 77W configurations, the aircraft used to BNE is the one with two J cabins with QSuite.

Delta bought ex-Lion Air 737-900’s.

You think Australian sparkling wines are like apple juice?

I was at DOH for 21 hours in October, had access to the Gold lounge. It was busy in the early morning and evening but enough seats for everyone. Food was self-serve but drinks were from the bar. During the day there were more staff than pax in there. I had three showers and never had to wait to...

The new concourse has another Al Mourjan lounge plus new Gold and Platinum lounges.

I had my QR FF on the booking so was able to choose them without charge.
