I have been on a Round the World Trip from Sydney to London, New York, Tokyo, Hong Kong & Singapore on a few different airlines (Qantas, JAL, Cathay & British Airways).
Here is my review of the first flight:
Flight: QF1
Carrier: Qantas
Aircraft - Airbus A380-800
Class: First Class...
I recently took a flight from MEL to LHR on Qantas' re-timed service which left LHR at 10:55pm. It was amazing and the flight times better suits most people's schedules with an afternoon arrival into London (when the hotel check-ins actually let you get your room).
Flight: QF9
Aircraft -...
I am off to Hong Kong and Bangkok for a short visit... and I find myself in my favourite place in the world, the Qantas Lounge. I walk up the wonderful escalators have a brief chat to the lounge host before finding a seat with a view over the tarmac. Qantas has just released the Autumn Menu in...
First Stop the Qantas First Lounge! Here is my review of the new spring menu (check it out here)
The wine in the decanter and the dessert were standouts!
So I am off my usual jetset trip around Europe again…. it will be another whirlwind trip! 8 cities in just 14 days and it starts today!
The First Stop is the Qantas First Lounge
Starter - Grilled Sesame Tuna with Red Cabbage and Shallot Salad
Soft jelly like tuna with a light spicy sesame...
I have had a few trips to New York (via LHR) of late and decided to a consolidate trip report / guide. There's so much to do... plus the flight across is amazing (BA really invest in that route).
Here's the report - The New York Guide (Transatlantic Voyage) | Life of a Travel Czar ! Enjoy...
I was flicking through some albums and had a bit of nostalgia about a loverly trip I had to London a couple of years back… This was my last flight with them on the JSA with British Airways.So this trip was very sentimental to me….here are some memories from the trip…

To celebrate the 91st birthday of Qantas, the Boeing 787 Dreamliner was in Australia for the first time. I was fortunate to be able to attend an event hosted by Qantas to tour the Dreamliner. There was a tour of the 787 Dreamliner, the next generation 737 with the new refreshed...
I went to from LHR to NYC early this year on BA.
Experience was fantastic - Concorde Room, Arrivals Lounge & the BA product and in flight dining was amazing. I simply loved BA.
I am planning another trip LHR to JFK (F) return. I was wondering if I should stick with BA or try AA for a...
Hi All,
I heard that you can upgrade a JASA to FASA for a small cash amount.
Can this be done online or do you have to call OF to organise the upgrade. Does anyone know how the cash amount is generally calculated?
Thanks
I managed to book a flight to LHR to NYC (F) on BA & return (J) NYC to LHR on BA.
I have a quick question, has anyone been to the BA lounges in BA (Terminal 5) or JFK (Terminal 7)?
What are they like? If they aren't any good would I be able to use Cathay or American Airlines Lounges?
Has anyone seen this article by Bloomberg

Previously you could book QF First LHR-SYD on points and get access to the Concorde Room.
But now that the Concorde Room has moved from T4 to T5, and all LHR-SYD/LHR-MEL flights have moved to T3.
What is the cheapest/easiest BA F flight I could take out of T5 to gain access to the Concorde...
Hi
I will be traveling QF First from London to Sydney.
I understand that QF customers can use the BA F Lounge. Has anyone been to that lounge before? Does it have good facilities?
I have had bad experiences with BA Lounges and was wondering if the lounge wasn't up to scratch whether I...
I read this in my Qantas members email. I never thought the business centres were going to be replaced with meeting rooms at a charge. Is that correct? I thought the meeting rooms were only available in the new domestic business lounges New Qantas Meeting Rooms We're introducing Qantas Meeting...
Hi
I am travelling on QF (J) from LHR-SYD (one flight). I have requested an upgrade to F.
If the upgrade clears... I was wondering if I would have access to the Concorde Room? I understand that this lounge is not covered by the OW agreement but by a different QF-BA agreement
If so is...
Quick Question:
I know the availability of upgrades from Syd to LHR depend on spare seats, and the number of higher status passengers who are a head of you on the upgrade waitlist.
But is it easier to upgrade a SYD-LHR flight or a SYD-SIN-LHR flight. Either Y to J or J to F
Thanks
I have a question about international upgrades
If I were to fly PER-SIN-LHR and I check in to the SIN-LHR segment when departing Perth, and I have requested an upgrade for that segment, does the fact that I have check-in affect my upgrade request. (The upgrade for that leg may not have been...
Hi Everyone
I am new to AFF and i really like this site.
I had a question about discount business tickets. From reading this forum I gather that Qantas have different classes of business fares (D J I). I was wondering how I could access those discount business fares as I am travelling to...
