    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    Just to update on Cristal - 2 bottles loaded SYD - SIN on SQ212 today, plus 2 of the Krug. Not bad for 2 adults in the cabin to get through. The crew isn’t sure what the plans are beyond the current routes, but suggested it might be around for the longer term based on positive customer feedback...

    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    Cristal is only a limited release at this stage, I believe it is rolling through different routes with SYD-SIN one of the routes in the first cycle. MEL might be in a later cycle if they continue with the offer. Yes, TPR is available on arrival from a flight in F / Suites. I'll be there next...

    Frequent flyers whose kids have hit gold status

    My eldest first made SG at 2, as soon she was no longer a lap infant and we had to pay for her seats (even if she actually sat with one of us for most of the flights). As mentioned it really only takes a few long haul flights in a premium cabin to hit the 600 SC mark and at the time we had...

    Denied Entry to QF 1st Lounge Singapore

    I've visited that lounge 5 times in the last 6 weeks, 3 on QF F and 2 BA F (when the BA lounge was closed for renovations). There was no difference on any of the 5 occasions I went through - boarding pass checked at the door, I walked down to the dining area, the attendant there directed me to...

    Current Qantas First Lounge Menu (SYD/MEL) and relevant topics

    Have been through SIN when flying QF F 4x in the last month. The "off menu" offerings must have been very discreet, never had anything special mentioned.

    Qantas First Class menus

    It'd have better been Michelin quality to have been worth eating themselves given the complaints that the crew had to endure from some of the less "easy going" passengers when they learned they couldn't have their first choice.

    Qantas First Class menus

    No wine list loaded on this flight either so couldn’t post that. They had 2 champagnes, the standard Pommery plus something else unmemorable. Ordered the beef cheek main but none had been loaded on the flight.

    Qantas Delays/Cancellations

    QF11 got pushed even further back to 10pm, which was a blessing for us as both team members should now manage to get on the flight. Their connection from LAX is another problem of course...

    Qantas First Class menus

    Not that price is always an indicator of quality, but for comparison that QF1 wine list has an average street price in Australia of $126/bottle (excluding the dessert wines). The CX F flight I’m on right now has an average price of $298, though that is skewed by the champagnes (2004 Krug at...

    Qantas Delays/Cancellations

    Qantas moved her onto a SYD flight that was supposed to leave earlier, but now they’ve boarded 2 different flights to SYD including the one she was just moved off and she’s still sitting on the ground in CBR, 11 hours after the flight we actually booked should have left.

    Qantas Delays/Cancellations

    I have two team members flying from CBR to LAX via Sydney today. One was scheduled to connect via MEL, Qantas cancelled that and put her on a direct Sydney flight this morning. Then bumped her until 4pm this afternoon but now that’s delayed further due to the weather. Thankfully QF11 is...

    Qantas First Class menus

    Yes, it’s pretty disappointing for a First wine list. The champagne is nothing special, the reds are expensive (the Shiraz is $210 a bottle at Dan Murphy) but didn’t really impress. I’m on CX First tomorrow with Krug as their champagne offering and SQ in a few weeks with their Cristal special...

    That looks great, sadly I’m only going as far as Singapore this time around.

    Article: Why I Send Airlines Compliments for Great Service

    Pleasingly I actually got a reply from Qantas this morning about the positive feedback I submitted yesterday, it's a bit of a generic reply but at least an acknowledgment that the feedback was received and has been passed onto the relevant flight crew.

    Article: Why I Send Airlines Compliments for Great Service

    Timely article for me too, as I was just on the Qantas complements form this morning leaving some feedback for the crew of one of my recent flights. Of course it wouldn't be an AFF post without complaining about Qantas IT: 1. Of the things that Qantas allow you to provide complements about...
