    Qantas LAX First Lounge

    I’m more commenting as I was hoping it would be a new menu compared to when I was here on Halloween. I don’t care when they switch over, just wanted better desserts. Might go to the cupcake shop downstairs. 😝

    Qantas Business Class meals & menus

    QF11 J on 16 Nov. New style tray service, FAs were clearly getting used to it. No perceivable difference to me as a pax, as I recall, but the week before travel was full-on, as have the past two weeks of our Schoolies trip. 😉 I had the steak, very tasty. Opted for no dessert, nighky unusual...

    QF94 Business LAX-MEL A380 Trip Report

    I had the same menu on QF11 on 31/10. The night flights ex-USA have only had a main option (no entree) for ages. There also tends not to be a pre-dinner drink service IIRC. For food, I think they're finding most people have eaten in the lounge before, and don't want a three course meal at...

    ATO (tax office) payments by credit card

    Thanks! If I could find them, I think I'd set off some kind of alerts with the number of $500 gift cards we'd need for this bill. Shouldn't complain about capital gains too much, I guess.

    What cheeses me off

    Flat Whites have been available in good American coffee shops, and even in Starbucks, for at least 10 years.

    FIFO - general discussion

    It's Last In, First Out. Another meaning of FIFO is First In, First Out.

    Mr Katie's latest tax bill has arrived, so hopefully can use some tips here to grab a few points as we pay it off.

    eSims, what is your experience.

    I went to the US two weeks ago, and used the T-Mobile app to get a 30 day eSIM (I'll be back within the time period). I was able to use the email address that has previously been used with a T-Mobile account, unlike prior visits where I had to create a burner email account. The eSIM worked...

    How do Hilton treat you as an Elite?

    Property: H Curio LAX Room booked: Deluxe King Room Received: Deluxe King airport view (noticed upgrade in app at least 5 days before arrival) Status: Diamond Hot tip: water is cheaper at the Subway than in the hotel, or at the bodega down the street. I got two waters in my room. Property...

    Qantas Upgrades - Successes or Failures (post results)

    Oh, and I requested at Y+ to J upgrade for my Dad and his wife, both NB, on QF103 for Sat 28 September. The upgrade came through at about T-28. They were just thrilled.

    Famous people seen (or even met) whilst flying or lounging

    Ariana and Cynthia were on QF12 with me, just landed. Unsure about Jonathan Bailey or the actor playing Boq. I thought I saw Cynthia before boarding at LAX. Actually, after googling, I think Ethan Slater was on the flight. No men as tall as Jonathan Bailey in that group.

    Safety while travelling alone

    What? This was a random thing, not targetted and not in any way linked to any public information about my whereabouts. That man would have just as likely accosted any other woman or vulnerable person walking along the road who "took his fancy" that day. If it were targetted and intentional...

    I just had the squid and chippies as a late lunch after a UA flight from MRY and walking all the way from Gate 86B. :P

    Safety while travelling alone

    I'm at LAX and about to head home. The location where this almost assault occurred was outside the Embassy Suites Monterey, which is in the suburb/city of Seaside. It was the intersection of Del Monte and Canyon Del Rey. Talking to Bay Area friends, one of whom studied in Monterey in the...

    Safety while travelling alone

    He seemed to be coming closer to me, despite my lack of interaction, until the other woman on the bike came up and somewhat positively interacted with him “Fine, thanks!” That kind of thing. Ignoring him, head down, was not working.
