I have always found a reasonable selection of both hot and cold food available in the FLounge at SIN, both at the buffet area and from waiters wandering around.

Ok, since it is expected, I will give the anticipated exception to the general answers. I am WP and always request seat 16A in J. It is always confirmed to me when I request it, and is shown as allocated when I check on checkmytrip etc. However, on at least 3 occasions I have received my...

I had the same issue in 2005 (and worse the QF FA told me I did not need to about with the VWP etc). Very p#&*#d off when I get fed through the funnel to the C&I desks with no way to escape to a transit area. As no paperwok completed, I lost the advantage of being J and first out, so I was way...

Thanks, I applied for my card yesterday :) .

The Wizard ClearAdvantage MC sounds like a good option. Speaking to them, you really don't need to be too selective on which ATMs to use, they say any ATM that accepts MC can be used with no fee. You can also load the MC with funds, and so withdraw cash without it being a cash advance. I am very...

Mrs Optics never received any benefit while she was PG in 2005, but now it would be useful (I failed to qualify by about 100SC both last year and this year). The benefit is when travelling international with the family in Y, as it would allow both of us to take a guest into the QP. Now I...

Reading this link, it states that "A foreign currency fee is charged to you by Westpac, being 1.5% of the Australian dollar transaction amount." This sort of fee seems to be common to most of the ATM style accounts, which is why I believe TCs in the US are the most cost effective way of making...

Its been ages since I've had to worry about the best way to do FX transactions. I only ever travel overseas for work, and I just use my corporate Diner's for everything (or my personal MC at those all too frequent establishments that don't take Diners!, then claim back from the company)...

Does the temporary lounge at TBIT qualify under these entry rules? I believe it is a shared lounge with BA and others, but probably does not qualify as either QF, BA or AA, is this correct? If so, that would mean no access for QC members, only for OWE or OWS.

Its also going to make seat allocation more difficult, as they are going to have to ensure anyone with mobility problems is not allocated anything other than ground (well floor actually :) ) level.

Re: Flat beds in Econpmy?? Looks interesting, but awfully sterile. Very efficient use of space, trust the germans ;) . Flat beds would be great during overnight long-hauls, but its hard to see how this arrangement would work for sitting, especially when travelling together with someone?

Or more likely, that they spend so much time in traffic jams they have little time for anything else :) .

I'm not so sure we would disagree on that many issues by the sounds of it ;) .

I was not commenting on the acceptability of the change (if it is a change), just on whether its application to WP/SG was consistent. I would not be happy if I turned up with my SO, who was not travelling, and she was not allowed in. The cost of parking usually makes the option of taking a...

Although I am all for "personal responsibility", I do not agree with the sentiments you have expressed. The imbalance in knowledge and power between the airlines and the passengers (especially in the case of infrequent travellers) is huge. It is for this type of reason that the Trade...

This is not really inconsistent. As you state, the paid membership is suspended, so the rules for that paid membership are also suspended. Should the member lose their WP or SG status, their paid membership will be reinstated and they will then be eligible for the paid membership rules for the...

When I checked in I didn't see the new F check-in, and as the J check-in had virtually no queue I used that. The agent there told me I, as a OWE, could have used the F check-in, so it appears that has not changed :) .

So no showers going to be available:( . Looks like I will need to book another night at the hotel.

I thought the new lounges were meant to be open by now, so the temp lounges would not be needed anymore? I was just wondering if the new lounges (if they are open) had showers.

I imagine it would depend on who was on duty on the desk and how full the lounges are. Anyway, even J lounge access is better than none :) . My major wish is to get access to the TBIT lounge, as we are on the late flight out of LAX, and so a shower etc would be very nice. Has anyone used the...
