QF437 SYD-MEL 11-1230 “Morning tea” was served on this route which was a choice of a Miso Chicken Salad, Corned Beef Fritters, or Scones, alongside a blueberry danish. The chicken salad was really nice, although as our flight was delayed till 11.30 I did wish for something more substantial at...

SYD Dom J for the next ~30 mins. Can guest 2. Bacon and egg paninis in the panini bar - very tasty and one of the nicer things I’ve had at the panini bar. They’re also serving avo toast but I couldn’t see any avocados.

You should be fine - I haven't had a BA or JL flight drop yet... Officially, agents should immediately re-ticket if MH is on the ticket. In practice, I've found that the overseas ones usually don't. And yes, MH is pretty aggressive with dropping flights. In recent times I've had fairly good...

Yes. As long as you're careful and check your booking at every step of the way, you should be fine. Be specific about adding flights to an existing booking. If you keep your bookings (not the actual booking, but the list of all your bookings) up on the Qantas website and constantly refresh, you...

Huh, that makes sense. The staff member checking me in at the EL did specifically say “Jones Bay view”, but you’re right - looking at the map I don’t think I got even that!

Grounded after yesterday’s MH149 was cancelled due to technical issues. Oops? 😅 https://www.nst.com.my/business/corporate/2024/12/1151635/malaysia-airlines-hit-airbus-snag-maiden-a330neo-grounded-least

I’ve had the same 5 minute change, but I also got an email from QF for the same change. I ignored both emails, and never got issued a new e-ticket until a few weeks later when I made separate changes. Sorry it’s not exactly your situation, but I think you’ll be fine to either ignore or...

Nope, still not a full member yet.

You don’t need to actually use a TA to book a specific class. You can call the MH call centre to book it for you. There are no booking fees involved, however they will sometimes struggle to price it in anything except MYR. They technically can issue the ticket from most cities, but IME not all...

Platinum for me please! I will figure out flights and accom closer to the date.

Thanks for last night everyone, it was lovely to meet a lot of you for the first time. I think that you guys will turn me into an alcoholic 😁

I wish the limit was 35k nm!

For anyone traveling into the city tonight, replacement buses (at least on the Glen Waverley line) are awful this morning. I waited for 45 mins for a bus at Richmond. Google maps and PTV timings are super off too.

The routing looks fine to me. Depending on the actual route you get though, it barely hits 36k miles on GCM. So you may have issues. e.g. if you do BKK-HKG-MEL, it’s 36,291 miles on GCM.

I’m in the SYD Dom J for the next 30 minutes, can guest 2. The sandwich bar is serving chicken, cheese and tomato sandwiches, which tastes pretty good (miles better than the prison slop at the buffet)

If I actually end up on the plane, absolutely will do!

My MH148 on 20/1 just got changed back to the 339. Assuming that it isn’t MH being overly optimistic again, that means that the first route will still be Melbourne, and the inaugural should happen soon.

I'll be in the city, so I'll see you at Gimlet!
