    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    The rubbery texture was our experience each time. Seemed overcooked which I guess would be a common problem with many dishes prepared to be consumed in the air. Not much else that appeals on the book the cook menu though so still leaning towards giving it another go. Can’t view the regular...

    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    Can anyone convince me to give the lobster thermidor another go? Between myself and Mrs NoName we have never had a good one but it has popped up as a lunch option before arrival for my F flight in December and I’m considering it. Figure that if it’s bad again I can just eat in TPR on arrival...

    The definitive thread on Qantas IT gripes

    Have a similar situation which I have just seen come up. Currently have: SIN-HND - JL Y+ HND-JFK - JL F I have just noticed the SIN-HND has been changed from 787 to 777 and there’s now an F award available. Can’t remember with certainty but I’m going to say I may have booked this as a one way...

    The definitive thread on Qantas IT gripes

    There was something that came up basically saying the fee would be waived but any further changes will incur it. No points credited back as yet but will see whether I am actually charged or not.

    The definitive thread on Qantas IT gripes

    Not a gripe (yet). Just received a flight change notification email for our SEA-LAX flight in January. Not leaving 6 hours earlier which will not suit at all. When I go to the manage booking section I get the following options: Clicking change doesn’t bring up any other options even though...

    RTW in F/J - Hand Carry Only - Iceland, Finland, Washington and a few other places

    Any chance that LHR-HND leg changes to the A350-1000? JL44 is the next route to get it afaik.

    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    It’s not really a double bed though is it? That’s just how they make it look for the marketing photos. Still had the divider in the middle between the mattresses. Are they even able to provide a double bed sized blanket that covers both beds?

    Fairmont gold

    There should be plenty of reviews online of the lounges in these properties. We are staying at the Fairmont Chateau Whistler in January and I was looking whether to book a gold room. In the end there wasn’t availability in a 2 queen room so was a moot point but cost would have been an extra...

    Theft in lounges - how frequent?

    Of course, and the reason I still put a lock on mine. I’m just not fooled into thinking that it makes any more than a superficial difference to the ability of a potential thief in accessing the contents.

    Theft in lounges - how frequent?

    Locks are just visual window dressing when you consider the bag can still be opened with nothing more than a ballpoint pen.

    Emirates Cancels Singapore to Melbourne Flights from 30/3/25

    Notice that 4 September 2025 has now become available to book on this flight. 2x J + 1xF awards available on QFF as well. Probably wishful thinking but do hope this continues to be the case in 4 weeks time. Given I would be booking QFF awards hoping that QF would also shift us to their own metal?

    Emirates Cancels Singapore to Melbourne Flights from 30/3/25

    I see they’re still selling for flights in early September 2025. I’m hoping they keep loading these dates until they determine an actual ending date. Was looking at booking awards for early October 2025 and would be happy if that still ended up being possible and they just moved us onto QF...

    Coles gift card offers

    Yes. And then pools to my Velocity account. Well seeing as the DOB has been brought up I may as well mention that it isn’t cross checked. Or at least hasn’t been in my experience. My 10 year old is not a 10 year old as far as flybuys knows.
