    I'm in the QF Lounge thread

    I am sure they consider it a spirit. I would imagine they would have to do their RSA to serve alcohol but thought it very strange. All good, I got it anyway.

    Article: Qantas Auckland Lounge Upgrade: The End of an Era

    Oh no why did I not mention that? It was filled with Kapiti salted caramel ice-cream. Very nice - much better than the Maggie Beer ice-cream. In fact I had to have two....no wonder there was no space for food on the plane.

    I'm in the QF Lounge thread

    Recently in the Sydney F lounge I was told I couldn't have a double shot of Baileys unless I had ice in it. I said it was for my coffee, told the attendant she could put ice in it anyway but I will just take it out and the attendant told me just to take it then. It WAS for my coffee by the way.

    Birds of a feather

    I have had Tawny's nesting outside my kitchen window. One of the Tawnys disappeared and so one was left to sit there day and night. Only one chick hatched. Last year we had 3. One night the parent Tawny didn't come home and the chick sat there all night and all day and most of the next night...

    Personal greetings from the cabin manager - what can you (realistically) ask for?

    First time in a long time received a personal welcome. Flying J on QF to AKL and CSM came up to to welcome me. Also brought me some extra chocolates inflight. Meals were also served per status, which I probably wouldn't have realised without previous mentions somewhere on this group. In fact 1A...

    Not Happy P&O [Pre Paid Drinks]

    Every P&O cruise I have been on has the full trip package or none at all for every person in the cabin. This is going back to 2013 when I first started cruising. All cruise lines since then offer a full package, including alcohol, or possibly a soft drink and coffee package. I have never seen...
