I think that’s around the last time I saw it too. It was also out of stock for a week in early June, so let’s hope it reappears like it did then. I’ll check this week and report back.

Unfortunately no Piper Rare in the F lounge for the last few weeks. It’s been Taittinger Millesime 2015. Clearly the chief wine boffin thinks all Millesimes are equal, or that most passengers won’t notice 🙄

SQ used to do a very impressive Power Chendol but this seems to have been retired. Their desserts used to be a lot more interesting than the current state which seems to favour dry cakes.

I had the lobster last week on a Singapore to Europe sector. As many others have said, aircraft food is nothing to get excited by, but mine was perfectly pleasant. Your relatives may have been a bit unlucky. What I will say though is avoid chicken on flights ex Singapore at all costs at the...

I've had very frustrating experiences with Qantas and I'm very disappointed with the depth of cuts that have now manifested themselves in nearly all aspects of the QF experience. Things are very bad at the moment but I won't abandon QF altogether (yet) as I'm still a relatively happy Platinum...

I've had a quick look to compare with your experiences @mel-world and @coolkid101. I see Saver available for waitlist for nearly all flights in June, but few confirmed seats. Advantage is another story though. I do see that SQ 305/SQ 217 is available for Saver redemption on 8 and 25 June and SQ...

I have been told that 70% of calls are now being answered within 20 seconds, across all status levels.

My understanding is that there will be a second 380 to London coming before it returns to other European ports.

My experiences echo yours, @Kiwi_Flyer. There aren't many discernible enhancements for Solitaires, but usually meal orders will be taken prior to take off, whereas for other passengers it'll be once in the air. The cabin manager will usually come and say hello, but like QF, this is dependent on...

That's interesting...I've only had the pavlova (in a glass) in SYD, never MEL. Perhaps they're rotating between menu across the two lounges. Chickpea curry is an interesting choice before a long-haul flight...perhaps best suited to passengers travelling in Suites, rather than the intimate F...

Chateau Cos d'Estournel has featured quite prominently in the last few months (great thing that it is, too). I've also seen Chateau Pichon Longueville and a couple of others rotating through.

This is an interesting observation...I use QC 35 II headphones and have never noticed a problem with any of the SQ systems, whether it's the Panasonic or the Thales (only on the A359 Medium haul). Have you tried adjusting your volume settings in the Bose app? Customer Affairs is totally...

I've just had a look again and it's only allowing me to waitlist in Saver for SQ 212 at 0755. Will keep an eye on it but thanks for the heads up.

You could be right, but waitlists aren't always an exact science at SQ. There are plenty of times I've been sitting on the waitlist and gone to check the website, only to find the flight is immediately available for confirmation for a new booking... Generally speaking if three J seats have been...

Yes! Given the sky-high fares at the moment I'm interested in burning some miles. I've just had a look but Saver is unavailable and Advantage is waitlist only. Have you hit the trigger yet?

I’ve had no problem using it multiple times in MEL, SYD and PER this year, even during very busy periods when capacity limits may be a consideration.

I've had this option on my last few MEL-PER and vv sectors. Having worked my way through the other options, I gave it a go and thought it was not bad. Cheap and cheerful some might say. I've had relatively bad luck with getting the same menu on my transcons in both directions, sometimes only a...

I am having no luck myself with chasers at the moment. Premium cabins are very full and they are not willing to release seats that they think they will be able to monetise. Their forward-looking statements, for the rest of this year and into 2023, are very bullish.

I’ll assume you were on EBJ as this has been a defect in 1A for close to five weeks. I’ve been affected by it twice now. One wonders when they’ll bother to fix it…

That's a strange development. I've probably been in 10-12 times in the last couple of months and it's always been very busy, with long queues, even with the less than popular "ramen" and vegetarian fried rice options in March. It seemed equally popular once it flicked over to laksa and whatever...
