    CDG-SYD - DXB Short Layover

    You should get some lounge time, as that is basically where you depart from. But other than some free champs (?) its not awe inspiring.YMMV.

    The view from my "office"

    re: The view from my "office" Thursday's office Work area, occupied by some serious 'workalcoholics' who had decided at the last minute to attend a large conference being held in London on Saturday. We 'teleconferenced' in from this office Hoboken NJ

    Terrible Qantas / EK experience (MEL-DXB-CDG / LHR-MEL in J)

    I can absolutly understand the situation. Stressful situation caused by ticketing officer/QF, taken out of que, placed in another que for overworked desk to fix. Time ticking down. Wife minding child and a pile of bags while Edge is trying to get the problem fixed at the desk. Difficult to mind...

    Terrible Qantas / EK experience (MEL-DXB-CDG / LHR-MEL in J)

    I think eastwest101 has hit the nail on the head. You are experienced travellers, flying in J, it should go smoothly, that is a large part of what you are paying for. One 'fail' on a flight, OK. But one 'fail' followed by another 'fail' followed by another is not much fun. A simple response from...

    Issues booking with Delta

    I suspect it might be a data matching issue- unless your details EXACTLY match what you are entering in the Delta site with your Velocity details it might reject it. And Jneufeld I actually tried four browsers on two platforms before I had a go at not including my Velocity FF details...

    Issues booking with Delta

    I did about one month ago, and yes the Delta online Technical team were about as useful as teats on a bull. I eventually got it to work. I was trying to make the booking with my Velocity FF number when prompted. I took a guess that it was not the credit card details failing to work, rather it...

    Etihad business seating

    I am a 'big' 6' 2", and the boss is 5'11". The couples seats in J on the EY 777 are excellent as you are not worried by any of the traffic in the isle. EUROPA is correct in that the leg room is not as good as CX or even BA, but if you like talking to your partner they are excellent. Avoid the...

    VA Results/Announcement today

    Personally, I will miss the PER-HKT flights. SYD-PER-HKT was a good little earner of SC in J and a good positioning flight for EY ex HKT. I mean, why fly direct....

    Retain Status/Review Date

    I asked this question of the Plat call centre last week and was given the clear reply that flights made on your review date do count to the past year. And i was also told that if "the system" does not do the correct thing, then just call up and it will be fixed.

    The view from my "office"

    re: The view from my "office" I thought as much! Sorry, it still annoys me. Old habits die hard. Despite having the beach as my backyard, I never learnt to surf (did not have the coordination ) but was a 'clubbie" for Cronulla S.L.S.C and rowed boats for a while. The Point was 'our' break. The...

    The view from my "office"

    re: The view from my "office" Actually, it's Cronulla. Behind the biggest pine tree, behind the Cronulla Surf Club, is where I grew up. Mum still lives there. South Cronulla is somewhere else, (to the south).

    The view from my "office"

    re: The view from my "office" Seems to be a lot of 'bird sightings' from our 'offices' recently. Here is our contribution... And when we got up close it was having a bath.

    Alitalia considering a return to Australia

    EY buying AZ does not seem to make sense unless EY actually believe they can fix the basket case that AZ really is. If so then it is an established airline with plenty of 'slots' in much more interesting places than here. AZ- you currently cannot even do a seat selection on line, and no real...

    Activity stream display on front page gone?

    Ah, so in QF speak, it was a web page 'enhancement'. I never minded the slight delay, it was good sometimes to surf over to a thread that caught your eye, that you might not have normally seen. Thanks for the prompt answers, and keep up the good work!
