    Qantas is sorry (again)

    My take is she is not impressed with AJ management and is going to try to fix it. If she walks the talk that can only be a good thing in my view. But, talk is cheap so time will tell.

    American Airlines Admirals Club and Flagship lounges - DFW & CLT

    I’m currently in the US on a jaunt and have hit a few lounges in the AA network. First was the admirals club at DFW, terminal C. Entry was fine, nearly a little bit a glitch but then she saw Emerald on the boarding pass and I was in. This is a big lounge but not spacious of seating. Plenty of...

    AA First from Charlotte to DFW. Flight planned for 1905 departure, snafu saw it delayed until 1950. Pre drink consisted of water or orange juice, delivered with a decent amount of warm nuts, with cashews, pistachios, almonds. Drinks orders taken first. Had a red blend wine (FA description). Due...

    Qantas Business Class meals & menus

    QF7 breakfast. I didn’t get a pic of the menu as were we encouraged to fill it in before putting our seatbelt on (or so it seemed). No more bacon and egg roll for this redneck so went with a scrambled egg, snag and kale dish. I didn’t realise they now have espresso machines on board so took tea...

    Qantas Business Class meals & menus

    Yeah, technology beat me. Trying to upload on the tarmac with no signal. But that means you get a more in-depth post.. New menu they told me on board The arancini ball was good, firm and flavourful. I went the salmon salad and despite not being a salmon fan this was delicious. Full of...

    QFF Platinum requesting release of extra Classic Reward seats?

    7 Aug 2024 LAX -SYD J Nothing on 7th being Friday - Hobart lady said no chance, everyone wants to be back for Monday - so had choices of 8th, 9 and 10. Interestingly, there is a QF18 which is a 787 leaving LAX an hour after QF11. Might open some more seats?

    Trip to Namibia, Botswana +/- Victoria Falls...tour or self drive?

    We are looking at some thing, but 2025 (2024 got hacked by a river cruise) Botswanabudgetsafaris.com have so far offered a decent mix of private lodges/concessions and per day rate. Not a recommendation but an option perhaps?

    Alan Joyce to leave Qantas immediately

    I know it's only the Tele so not worth rating, but has there ever been a person so universally hated by so many?

    AAward - change from AAdvantage Number to Qantas FF number

    Just did this very change. AA call centre had no idea how to do it; tells me he had tried 3 times and no luck. Meanwhile RJ.com didn't pick up the reservation. BA didn't see it either. Using this fantastic font of knowledge I insisted my man check how it was done. 3 minutes later he had it...

    Inconsistent/Poor QF Business Class Treatment out of Bangkok

    Yes, status does give you better choices. Although, anyone paying rack rate for a J seat should not have to do the DYKWIA game.

    Inconsistent/Poor QF Business Class Treatment out of Bangkok

    I'm an early drinker, and I'll just wander up to the galley to grab a beer. Like milli seconds after the seatbelt sign is off. Never been given half a can, and I'd be coughing loudly if they tried. CSM greeting is 50% for me Normally get the meal I want, but last LAX-SYD service both me and...

    QFF Bonus Status Credits/Points gift on back of Aug 2023 profit

    Haven't yet read all posts to see if the code has been cracked, but as WP with 57,694Km flown I got 75/5,000. Dunno how many flights but it must have been close to 20. My wife who is Bronze got no km travelled in her email and 30/1,000. Interesting, as we paid for a J flight LAX/SYD and a J...

    Newbie cruise questions (generic)

    We were on a cruise last year on Ponant, doing the North West Passage. If cost is not an issue you could research them (and if you are referred by an existing pax there are discounts to be had). The charter flight on this cruise had a technical issue, meaning it couldn't leave Italy for Paris. 9...

    Qantas doesn't care about priority boarding

    QF man at Hobart last Tuesday ignored the PB announcement as it was being made and just let everyone through. Wasn't even the PB lane. All the DYKWIA in the PB lane musta been annoyed.

    QFF Platinum requesting release of extra Classic Reward seats?

    I asked and was given economy seats DFW-CLT on AA as an award seat by the phone person. Nothing better was available then or today.
