Have been flying F with mine (now 15 and 10) since our eldest was 6 months. Unless they have allergies you need to cater for I’d stick with the standard menus. Plenty of choices so that most people (even kids) can find something to eat. Things like the fish are usually easy to separate from the...

Mine usually shows the same, it’s what happens when you qualify for WP based on OneWorld partner flights rather than Qantas metal.

I've shared the story before, but most memorable for me was on a QF F flight back when they not only flew the 747 but came around with a selection of movies on cassette tape to play in your personal tape player. An older gentleman was sitting in 1A, dressed immaculately in business attire. 3...

Not really any bad seats but everyone has their preferences. If you want to both have window seats I’d suggest K not A, as the F seats face the A seats and when the dividers are down for takeoff and landing you don’t have as much privacy when sitting in A. I always liked 4A 5A when travelling...

Fully agree with the K+F suggestion. We’ve done 4A / 5A with a 6 month old, the bassinet was pointless so we didn’t bother with that selection again. We ended up spending most of the waking hours of the flight sitting together in one suite so proximity wasn’t a huge issue. Do keep in mind...

I know this is a "can never please everyone" scenario but one of the reasons I like TPR is that it's the opposite of the Sydney QF F lounge in being quiet and not packed to the gills. There's no queue for a seat at the dining section, nobody telling you to move on and work elsewhere if you...

Not sure I'd consider that $2,700 well spent...!

CBR-SYD is one of the biggest impacts for me. With no 717 from next week there's only 1 flight each day with J class (on a 737), dropping from 4 flights with the 717. Given VA outsources the route to Link with their Saabs (obviously no J there either) that leaves us with 12 J seats per day to...

SYD-SIN, SQ212. Even more impressed that they catered so well for an 8am departure!

Only anecdotal evidence, but on a 777 flight I took back in June there were 3 of us in the cabin drinking Krug, and based on the number of refills we all had I'm confident they had stocked multiple bottles.

I'm not saying I'd be one to ask to swap, just that I understand why people are inclined to ask. The loss in 'value' to an individual traveller moving from 1A to 3A is marginal, but the gained value for a couple moving 2A/3A to 1A/2A is significant. I imagine that's the way SQ sees it also, as...

To be fair, the experience of the double-suite as a couple is significantly different to flying in 2 individual suites. Sitting in proximity to someone else when you're both in private cocoons is one thing, being able to open those cocoons to a bigger shared space is something else entirely...

The term "VIP Host" would be far more accurate given their remit. Flying QF F doesn't get you "F Host" service - at least I've never encountered it in my dozens of F flights as either WP or LTG.

The suites do get smaller from front to back. From memory row 1 gets 4sqm, row 2 gets 3.8sqm, row 3 gets 3.2sqm. None of the suites are what you'd consider 'small' in their own right and I'm more than happy flying in any of them. As I mentioned somewhere up-thread, if flying solo I'll pick...

Fully agree - I really enjoy the SQ F lounge in Sydney. Very rarely more than 4 people in the lounge, a massive contrast to the crowds in the QF F lounge most days. Food has always been nice - truffle eggs for breakfast a few weeks ago was top notch, as was the coffee. Coupled with the 4 pax F...

As an 11yr old travelling in Economy on KLM quite some time ago (my first overseas trip) the kids pack included a foam puzzle that you could build into various 3D shapes. It came in a couple of different shades of blue to denote the different difficulties, and each flight we took had a...

I have bought a few cars on credit card, the most recent one a couple of months ago was about $60K. Used a Qantas Business Amex, negotiated a price we were happy with first and then told them we'd either pay by credit card at that price and take the car there and then or we'd go shop around at...

The Private Room can be accessed as an arrivals lounge for passengers coming off a First flight, but that’s only on the same day. You’ll be eligible for the Business lounge (or regular First if you have status).

Sorry, I can see how that’s confusing. My logic is based on being on the other side of the situation in some of my first flights in the suites. If I am flying solo I don’t want to book a seat that would prevent a couple from choosing the double suite if it’s still available. Purely a personal...

In late June the Champagne offerings on-board included a 2015 Bollinger which was also very nice, I would recommend trying that as well as the Krug. TPR additionally had the 2012 Taittinger Comtes de Champagne which was also pretty fantastic. As suggested the vodka is a great accompaniment for...
