You mean re-introduce. There always used to be a bar service on QFi, even on things liked SIN-MEL. It got dropped. On a flight a good while ago, those of us who knew we weren't going to get a bar service asked for a drink or went and extracted one from the galley. A couple of people who clearly...

I'm sure it was a tongue in cheek comment. The issue is though that QFi's J meal service is so slow it is actually a major detraction for them. Given they have such a minimalistic menu what are other airlines doing right that QF is getting so wrong?

Why Sony? I'm a Moto man myself and these are readily available here and the current models are fine on Telstra and Optus. My previous phone wouldn't do 4G calling on Optus but did when I switched to Boost. My current model is fine on either network.

Back in probably the nineties, coming back from Europe or the UK, I had a flight such that the SIN-MEL leg was a morning departure. On boarding it transpired all J pax were put upstairs on the 747, and "high" status Y QFF pax were seated in downstairs J with Y catering/service. This was in the...

Our council has a cat curfew overnight and cats can be caught and impounded (which carries a fine/release fee). Also Vic has cat trespass laws which are enforceable on the owner for non compliance. The fundamental problem is it isn't the animals that need the licensing, it's the owners.

I've just splashed out the $2 for a Sim from a shop and ported my number when I wanted it done. Never had an issue. Asking/telling the Telco to delay the port to a specific time is likely outside of their offered capabilities.

The A380 also offers you the 4 seats in the middle of the cabin that you could hopefully get as a family of 4. I'd still disagree though that with small children the 787 would feel more cramped than the A380. The 787 definitely has better legroom, and its seats are definitely narrower, but with...

If your kids are smaller than an economy seat, then that negates the biggest issue of the 787 - its narrower seats.

Especially when it's other people's money.

Doesn't that just mean the premium FF who refuse to pay for those seats and select a "normal" seat end up with an inferior QF experience to the NB with no selection who is then allocated the vacant extra legroom seats on check-in? I know this has been the essence of previous discussion but just...

PER lounge is also a dungeon albeit one with a sky light. I also thought they were hot dogs rather than burgers (glorified sausage in bread aka Bunnings). The QF website even called them "sausage sandwich".

But when the But when they do, the problems of service recovery for these long P2P routes have been very well demonstrated...

I didn't say or imply that they were. In fact most wouldn't be. The reality is flying in to Manchester, Birmingham, or Glasgow would provide a much more convenient and shorter ground transfer than doing a flight in to LHR. Getting from LHR to Kings Cross or St Pancras is a pain in the proverbial...

And how many of them would therefore actually have London as their destination?

LHR <> London <> UK. No doubt sunrise might fulfil a tiny niche but of those who fly to LHR at the moment, how many actually just go to London? Hub and spoke allows people to get to where they want to go. It's like suggesting that those who really want to go Perth-Canberra instead fly to Sydney...

3 options to P1, 2 options to WP, 1 option to a basic fare paying J pax...

Fresh(er) air - airlines/aircraft with individual air vents, hotels with opening windows.

Not really. Baggage delivery has always been a joke.

CNS-POM in a dash 8. Took a while to get my head around getting an international cabin service in the dash 8, but as WP I had the 4 seats at the front to myself (oh! When being a WP meant something), which was a tad embarrassing on what was quite a full flight.
