    Famous people seen (or even met) whilst flying or lounging

    I saw the New Zealand women's soccer at WLG DOM during the world cup. Also the Wellington Phoenix in the WLG Qantas WLG INT lounge and on a flight from SYD to WLG the Wellington Hurricanes , but that was some time ago. I suppose they don't qualify for this forum as I suspect it only applies to...

    What is 'priority' worth to you?

    My issue is getting overhead locker space as I need access to my bag in flight. Priority boarding helps. Some J class passengers sometimes struggle to get overhead space too if they leave boarding too late. This is for when I travel for work. When flying longhaul it is not so critical as I...

    Spice bar at Melbourne Qantas Domestic Business Lounge

    It does look tasty and would be great with some kimchi from the buffet. Sometimes the Spice Bar produces some strange products with mincy bits I don't like.

    Spice bar at Melbourne Qantas Domestic Business Lounge

    Isn't there an AFF thread on this? I remember reading that some lounge visitor took a whole bottle of wine away with them. Not in Australia.

    Spice bar at Melbourne Qantas Domestic Business Lounge

    They see it every time. Occasionally they take a good look. Every major and a few minor airports in Australia and New Zealand.

    Spice bar at Melbourne Qantas Domestic Business Lounge

    For my work I carry a 150 mm steel rule, and it gets through security. It has a narrower edge than the knives.

    Spice bar at Melbourne Qantas Domestic Business Lounge

    It had crossed my mind. The plastic knives are sharper.

    Spice bar at Melbourne Qantas Domestic Business Lounge

    I think it goes beyond just dull. I think they have been deliberately ground down. You can see a flat surface along the edge. But you know what they say about the secret of a good steakhouse---sharp knives.

    Spice bar at Melbourne Qantas Domestic Business Lounge

    Seeing we are on the subject of food, have you noticed that the knives in the lounges are blunt. Not just blunt but almost as if the edges had been ground flat. They won't even cut the beetroot slices!

    Airport security confiscated an empty water bottle

    Sorry, but yes. TSA allows empty bottles. Jetstar website also suggests bringing empty bottles onto a plane.

    Airport security confiscated an empty water bottle

    No mention. Why did UK start the no empty bottles, then allowed them? I never have had any trouble taking empty bottles to Australia from NZ.

    Airport security confiscated an empty water bottle

    Remember they have to abide by American rules for international. Blame the TSA. Powders may also be restricted.

    Airport security confiscated an empty water bottle

    At WLG INT there is a bin, just before the conveyor, into which you can dispose of liquids. And WLG INT does not have secondary screening when departing for Australia.

    Airport security confiscated an empty water bottle

    Doesn't it stick out? 1.5 l is a large quantity. Most back pockets would just about take the 250 ml water bottles you get on-board, Think of the large bottles of soft drink you get at the supermarket.

    Airport security confiscated an empty water bottle

    I remember a time when any bottle, empty or full, was not allowed through security in the UK. Now they allow empty bottles.

    Qantas to introduce hot meals and hot snacks on most domestic flights, extends tea and coffee service

    I had cheese, crackers and salami on one flight. It did me fine as I was going to a big meal later. It's those late night arrivals where most Australian food services close at 9 pm, excluding the junk food outlets. Late flight BNE-ADL on an Em190 with crackers and cheese does quite cut it. Look...

    Lounge Access on Arrival as QF Elite?

    It's buried in the small print, not in the main listing.
