    Sydney to Amsterdam the long way - QF & AY in J and a river cruise

    Amsterdam arrival and the missing luggage. Being eternal optimists, we waited at the baggage carousel in Amsterdam for our bags to arrive. Sadly, they didn't so off we went to the luggage query place in the arrivals hall. My recollection is a bit vague (this was a month ago) but we did receive...

    Sydney to Amsterdam the long way - QF & AY in J and a river cruise

    AY1301 HEL-AMS What I really like about Europe is the way they board planes. Serious stuff, they have barriers with gates that stop unauthorised boarding. And so it was for our A350 flight to Amsterdam. Group 1 were called and a few of us stepped forward. In front of us was Dad, Mum and the...

    Sydney to Amsterdam the long way - QF & AY in J and a river cruise

    Helsinki arrival, transit and Schengen lounge. We arrived a bit earlier than planned but not by much. Disembarkation was easy, we found the lines to the transit gates and then it all fell apart. I somehow misplaced by onward boarding pass so there was a frantic bag reshuffle in the midst of it...

    Qantas Business Class meals & menus

    Well they got me good then. I thought the roughness was pure alcohol and therefore good. I'll stick to Bourbon.

    Sydney to Amsterdam the long way - QF & AY in J and a river cruise

    AY62 - awake at stupid o'clock, snack and a wander Not being a frequent flyer enough to get used to sleeping on planes, I was awake at stoopid o'clock. My wife had beaten me to it and already had a tea and a bun to hand. Being the curious person I had a look around this plane. First stop -...

    Sydney to Amsterdam the long way - QF & AY in J and a river cruise

    AY62 - HND-HEL But we also queried what was happening with our bags. The gate staff apparently said they would be on the next AY flight, but that was a day ahead as they don't fly each day. I was pretty shattered by this time - early start, Sake and all - so didn't quite pick up on it. So, we...

    Sydney to Amsterdam the long way - QF & AY in J and a river cruise

    QF59 - Sydney to Haneda. 2K, 3K Boarding was as expected on an A330 - straight to our seats, stuff taken from carry on, settled in and pre departure drinks served. I can't remember the CSM greeting but he did acknowledge my very valued status and thanked me for flying. Sparkling and coloured...

    Sydney to Amsterdam the long way - QF & AY in J and a river cruise

    Posting this retrospectively, as we started on May 3 2024. We booked a Viking River cruise leaving from Amsterdam so the next step was to book rewards flights. As a QF WP should be simples, log in, grab some primo seats and forget about it. No, what ensued was 6 months of research, changes...

    FINNAIR - new Business Class AirLounge seat

    I just experienced the AY J seat and can’t say I am a fan. The first leg was Haneda to Helsinki, which was a 13 hour flight leaving at 21:50. Having just got off a 10 hour QF flight on an A330 I was pretty tired, so no meal, just a beer and then settled down. In 3L the feet space was just too...

    Current Qantas First Lounge Menu (SYD/MEL) and relevant topics

    Lallier only in the lounge this morning. Seems the other 3 choices are stuck in transit somewhere. I did ask for the team if Qantas were freighting it. Eggs Benedict cold as usual, corn fritters acceptable. Pancakes passed the test according to Mrs.

    Qantas App issues?

    I think QF are in for a lot of static over this. I’ve got a lot of bookings and points currently and I don’t want any one seeing them and being able to change. The people I was seeing had flights booked in September so it’s not a ‘today’ thing
