    Have you actually lost your passport before while travelling?

    I read a tip about putting something else you need and will notice if you don’t have it into the safe like a shoe. I did this and it saved me once!

    Cash or Card? Countries where you still need cash.

    In Cambodia they're very particular about getting nice clean USD notes without any creases and have a tendency to reject those not meeting their standards.

    Invited to participate in a QF Loyalty Virtual Focus group

    Given what I remember of what you said about your previous and contemporary travel patterns they must value the opinions of at least some premium/actually frequent flyers. (In which case they could peruse AFF for free - but as we keep saying to each other, we're a pretty specific subset. I'm not...

    SQ 777 missed approach, two go-arounds, fuel emergency - report now out

    Are alternative airports so close together for weather usual / would it be prudent to have a couple more further away? Surely weather would probably affect all three airports mentioned.

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    Nothing here, hoping for something after being unable to attend the last event. I don’t drink whiskey either but wouldn’t mind the art. Clearly TDKWIA

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    I posted on the upgrades thread of having two upgrades to J come through for my relative. I thought we'd get the results from T-7 days and definitely before they're meant to process upgrades for WPs from T-3 days, but they only come through about 30 hours before the flights. I did mock cash...

    High Court reveals every current judge is a member of Qantas' Chairman's Lounge

    I personally don't reckon QF would yank CL access from judges or politicians ruling against or criticising them. (AFR distribution another matter.) Maybe by some miracle Hudson will agree perceptions aren't tenable, end CL access for pollies and give it to P1s instead :p

    I'm in the QF Lounge thread

    F can only guest one. This thread is for those already in the lounge, if people are seeking to be guested, better to post in the monthly thread - better chance of lining things up there https://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/community/threads/september-2023.107851/

    That is a very nice touch - haven’t heard about it happening before! Welcome to AFF

    Are Monday morning arrivals at SYD international always this bad?

    It’s even worse when fog forces aircraft to hold, bunching up even more flights.

    Alan Joyce to leave Qantas immediately

    Finally had a chance to listen to this - a bit taken aback by how forceful he was. Hope new leadership means a boost to staff morale and it translates to better service.

    Alan Joyce to leave Qantas immediately

    If Hudson was going to try a clean break and make some positive changes, it seems very odd in her video message she would have paid tribute to Joyce so heartily. It seemed to link her to him in a way that could only be damaging. Thought she would have political capital to focus more on “We’re...

    Qantas Business Class meals & menus

    At least the first main wasn't "big bowl of roast pumpkin soup served with sourdough bread"...

    CEO retiring, what changes at Qantas would you like to see

    Fix the call centres so horror stories of bookings and award itineraries being ruined and getting to WP just for a chance at a competent agent are a thing of the past.

    Now Boarding ... Chicken or Beef?

    As per mentions in the below thread, why the big rush to collect breakfast cards before or soon after takeoff when it's so far away? If we can be enlightened, even if we don't like the answer maybe we can understand it a bit better...

    Inconsistent/Poor QF Business Class Treatment out of Bangkok

    The experiences mentioned on this thread sound absolutely awful and unacceptable, given the premium. I’m happy (and lucky I guess) that when I splurged on cash as well as points for my family on BKK-SYD in J a few weeks ago it was fine. They were slow and needed help with the breakfast card and...

    Downgraded from Business Class on Qantas due to "tech crew" [pilot] Travel Requirements

    Don’t those surveys often have an option ‘I’m willing to be contacted by a Qantas Executive about my responses’?!
