    Alan Joyce to leave Qantas immediately

    Take the Money and run comes to mind or perhaps if it's too hot get off the fire. I suspect the Board have woken up .

    Issues with TripIt

    I like it. I find the ability to download PDFs particularly good especially with booking confirmations from smaller businesses that may not be otherwise recognised. Instead of manually entering details I just scan to PDF and enter as a simple event. I often have PDFs of Passports, Covid...

    Baggage dilemma - fix or retire

    How could you possibly retire such an Icon ! I would be a little concerned about all the bar codes - if it ever went astray maybe an other 100,000 miles before you get it back. I use tripit so that's where my flights are recorded.

    Next Qantas CEO: Vanessa Hudson

    In the "good old days", whilst working for a large Public Company, I have always remembered the topic of my first training program :- "NOTHING HAPPENS UNTIL A SALE IS MADE" It is up to the CEO to provide the tools and the positive attitude so this mantra flows throughout a business.

    New Amex redemption rates for SQ/EK; adding transfers to QR/HA

    Sorry Amex - it's all over after 25 years. Can't be bothered with all the hassle. From now on it's the SKI club for me. (Spend Kids Inheritance )

    Next Qantas CEO: Vanessa Hudson

    I understand that Qantas shares have gone down since A.J announcement. My first reaction was that they probably should have gone up but then I realised that A.J's payout may cause liquidity problems !

    Just when you thought you had seen it all in the Qantas lounge...

    I have been thinking about different attitudes. I do care about the way some people dress and I don't fancy sitting next to a passenger in a tank top with hairy armpits exposed. It seems to me it's all part of a general loss of standards in the community. Just because some may not be concerned...

    Just when you thought you had seen it all in the Qantas lounge...

    A quote from G Bruce Boyer ( A well known fashion editor ) “It is both delusional and stupid to think that clothes don’t really matter and we should all wear whatever we want. Most people don’t take clothing seriously enough, but whether we should or not, clothes do talk to us and we make...

    Just when you thought you had seen it all in the Qantas lounge...

    As the song says "it ain't necessarily so". Airlines issue pajamas - in sections of aircraft that have seats designed for sleeping. I have yet to receive pajamas when entering a lounge.

    What's the most obscure airport you've visited?

    LXV - Leadville Highest airport in the USA and 3rd highest (commercial ) in the world according to the town council. 9934 feet although the town is a little higher at just over 10 000 feet. Situated in Colorado a few miles from Aspen, as the crow 🪰, (If they can fly at this altitude) but a long...

    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    I agree Cruiser Elite. We don't have F where we are and the J offering, particularly outbound to Singapore is not good. However we have little choice and I have a "thing" about Qantas. It seems many businesses have taken "Covid" as an excuse to reduce their service. Hopefully when more flights...

    Can someone 6ft2in tall fit in the SQ business class bed?

    I'm old enough to be imperial 6'3" and find SQ seats in Bus fine - admittedly some better than others. However when I feel short changed or critical I take a wander down the back and suddenly J seats take on regenerated appeal. I also try to remember the excitement of the first time in J and to...

    Best Navigation app

    I have had a "Tom Tom" with world maps for many years, and find it excellent. Check it for updates before I go. Can briefly conect to my mobile for traffic updates. In saying that I find nearly all rental cars in Europe come with GPS these days. I do not ever pay extra for GPS is is just there.

    Do you discourage others from using QF?

    I would never suggest not to use Qantas, hopefully leaves more seats on the airline I prefer.

    Airport bag handling video

    I am not a fan of Qantas but I find this hard to believe unless these bag snatchers have just been advised that they have been made redundant.
