    I believe once the booking has been ticketed it’s only possible to make changes as long as departure point and final destination remain the same but you can always call and try.

    Nice wines I have drunk recently - Red or White

    Dappled Upper Yarra PN 2021 Appellation vs Champs de Cerises. Appellation has to be one of the best value PNs in the country. Red fruits, spice and smoky notes I’d expect to see in higher category wines are all here. The single vineyard is lighter, more elegant with distinct strawberry and...

    Any Krug is better than none at all. Was a bit worried when SQ took it off the menu few weeks ago.

    Vinomofo Wine Deals

    Probably for the better in this weather. I’m delaying all my wine deliveries (when possible). Sadly VM don’t proactively offer this service but many other retailers do.

    Nice wines I have drunk recently - Red or White

    We usually drink Riesling or Viognier with Asian food. This time I was looking for something different to bring to a nice Thai restaurant which will also be in the spirit of the silly season. SBS turned out to be a great match 👌

    Qantas First Class menus

    There are more examples which cost far less than quality wines. Look at the menus both in the QF F lounges and onboard. Most airlines offer proper nice looking multi-page menu in their F cabins (many also in J) but QF give you a cheap looking paper written in the ugliest font possible. I know...

    MEL is not important enough 😛 so SQ removed the 380 but not to worry because from Feb next year SYD will have two daily 380 services and it’s only 1h flight away 🙂

    Qantas First Class menus

    There are great Aussie wines out these and QF used to offer them. Before bloody Perry took over there used to be a wine panel who did great job in sourcing some of the best Aussie wines for F onboard and also for the F lounges. So yea, it can be done but the problem is good wines cost more and...

    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    The seat selection was not for new suites because there are no suites on 777. You will have to book 380 for that. SQ 777s have first class seats which is an excellent product. You can find multiple reviews with photos on this thread and online about it.

    QF pax don’t pay to fly F for decent service, caviar and fancy wines. They do it for the points and SCs!

    IMO $60 is the max value of WB BL. 2012 was good vintage which makes it decent deal but not a bargain by any means.

    I’d go for Chard or Shiraz, better for cooking than Rosé :)
