I agree with you. If you are travelling with a large family or infirm person Andy get off at the front for a flight on say SQ, you have a very very long and painful walk to get to the right desk. On a busy SYD morning (ie every morning) the removal is signs will add to travel confusion, walk...

I saw this this morning. The last thing Sydney airport needs a the moment is more confused cars in the departures area. I presume it has to be the pre-cursor to a movement of the check-in desks. Either that or SYD is upgrading from taking our money to messing with our minds

Re: Why is it that I have to be sighted. The QFF dictionary is clear to enhance = to take something away to streamline = instead of us doing something, you will now be doing it yourself

Why get involved at all? What is wrong with someone listening to an ipod or texting on a phone? At any given moment on any plane we can assume that at least half of the phones/devices are turned on. Be they in people's hands, jacket pockets or in cabin bags. On big aircraft there could be...

Qantas have the same rights. Up front in their T&Cs they say This is broad enough to allow them to cancel lifetime status if they wanted to

Really?!? - buying soap is sooooo 20th century. Cant remember the last time I bought soap.

Cathay is better at - seat - I like the size and privacy of their herringbone seats. - service especially on a long flight. At its best QF has amazing service but crew variability is legendary. Especially the case on a long flight. God forbid on a QF flight if you ask for something to eat or...

You hesitate for a moment before selecting your usual seat on your usual flight because last time the entertainment system sound was a bit patchy and given that the plane is an aging A330 you don't trust that it has been fixed

Thanks for the advice. Time now to put the AA challenge into action. I have a flight in two weeks (early Sept) BKK-SYD-BKK on QF in J. Then in late October BKK to LHR in F, LHR to BKK in J. Plus a return LHR to AMS in J on BA. Finally in November I will be BKK to NYC and back in J...

I dont want to rain on your WP parade but unfortunately QF23 is not the best sector to be your maiden WP experience. At that time of the morning Sydney airport is at its busiest. You will be fine checking in and using the express pass through immigration, but the new security check is a...

Yep - in departure area before you reach the check in desks

Hey Qantas, why is it that you think that soggy potato pizza is a welcome food item. Even since QF introduced the pizza in a box snack I have added a new experience to my travelling life. For the first time ever I now get off long haul QF flights feeling hungry.

Absolutely agree. Very frustrating I found out that in the case of the BKK office you can also do a bank transfer. You have to call them, get the back details, do the transfer and then send them a screenshot. At least it means not having to go to the BKK office. I have only tried with a...

Many years ago I was due to fly from BKK to SYD in the days when QF used BKK as its path to Europe. Booked in J. Due to a screw up my by travel agent (that I should have spotted so my fault too) I was booked to fly one day too late. I tried to change to the right day but there was no...

let's break this up into domestic and international. Domestically it made no sense at all to cancel Anytime Lounge access for WPs and above. The savings cost in F&B at the lounges would be minimal. As pointed out the parking costs make the journey to the airport not that worthwhile for just a...

Oh how I miss Anytime Access. An "enhancement" that really hurt. I have a theory as to why it was removed. The enhancement that removed Anytime Access happened about 3-6 months after Sydney Airport was upgraded/downgraded (depending on your view) from two departure gate areas to one. Used to...

"The terrified pair told disbelieving customs officers they knew nothing of the 11kg of cocaine" There is your problem right there. Everyone knows it is dangerous to try to fly in Y with no status with more than 8kg of in cabin luggage. Almost certain to get stopped ;)

I have had two experiences with AA in Y this year. The first time, the FA came up to me during meal service and said "as an AA Executive Platinum you are allowed to have a free food item, what would you like?" In other words, she came up to me (did not have to be asked) and did not talk to me...

absolutely agree. In a world of QFF "enhancements" and "streamlining of the program", the best strategy is to burn 'em as you earn 'em

you are also entitled to one free food item from their charge for food menu. You may need to ask for it but you are entitled. There is a cheese plate that is relatively edible.
