QF11 brekky 14/5 Juice, coffee, crumpet and pancakes. Tasty enough, but carby/doughy overall. I should have gotten the fruit salad for some variety rather than the crumpet. I was also trying to not order too much for the tray!

QF11 Tues 14/5 Aperitivo of almonds with the canned margarita. No Sky Spritz available. Pumpkin soup with creme fraiche. The plant based dining option was the same soup but with croutons. The chicken main option. Tasty. I wasn’t familiar with the dish & was expecting a breadt of chicken. I...

QF11 menu Tues 14/5

Same, once the seatbelt sign is off, I get changed. It's been a while since I've seen coathangers in the loos in QF Intl J, but usually there's a spare one in the cupboard. I feel a bit weird scrabbling for one (I'm not trying to get into the crew's stuff in there!!)

Has anyone been on QF11 lately in J? I've been trying to monitor this thread for posts, but I haven't seen any. I assume with the new timing it's still Lunch/Dinner and Breakfast? (Hoping on a Y+->J upgrade next week)

Stayed at the Hilton MEL over Easter, and there was a QR code for Room Service and housekeeping. I ordered an extra blanket and pillows with the QR code, as well as a nightcap on the Sunday night as the restaurant/bar/Exec Lounge wasn't open. Lounge had been earlier in the night, but the...

If you’re that worried, get her to the hospital @JohnK. I am not a medical person, but I would expect most urine to be warm. When I’ve had to provide samples in the past, they’ve always been close to body temp I think.

Maybe it's a Qld Health thing then?? I trust my Mother to know whether she had a partial or total hysterectomy and to have discussed the necessity of pap smears with her relevant doctors. If others have had differing medical advice for their situation, excellent, follow that medical advice...

My Mother wants a way to not be reminded of Pap smears every x years. She's almost 73 (but if you ever meet her, you can tell her she doesn't look a day over 72! ;) ) and had a hysterectomy over 25 years ago. I realise the cervix and uterus are different body parts, but her GP agrees it's not...

WCMO - teenagers and excluding others who think they're friends of your, but apparently they're not.

Q liked his walk this afternoon and tolerated the subsequent bath.

Yes. For our family, it's Disney. ;)

Seems high to me, but I haven't overnighted often at LAX. I just picked a random mid-week night's stay for mid-July, and am getting Hilton LAX properties for USD 165-280ish. Only the ones in Marina del Rey/Santa Monica are showing more than that at USD300++. I just skimmed the rates, didn't...

USD or AUD? I've got USD 190-200ish bookings for next month and November.

This thread isn't for our pets' maladies, is it? :p Joking!! The Teen has started doing some exercise this term - yes, intentional exercise, not just the occasional 1km alk home from the bus stop (when there aren't late activities at school or appts afterwards). Seems to have enjoyed herself...

I tip in hotels in the US. We also tipped at the end of our cruise, our room attendant and our two servers. I really chafed at the tip for the Head server, because we barely saw him (he was in charge of lots of tables), and when he saw the Teen blanch at the plate of shrimp and grits she'd...

OK, 2024 is going pretty well Jan - trip to Boulder, Colorado for a Roundtable session for a couple of days. March - CHC weekend for the AFF dinner, with Mr Katie and The Teen in tow. March/April - Girls' weekend in MEL. May - Minneapolis for a conference. Nov/Dec - Grad Trip. Flights...

Oh, my trip in Nov was ticketed on Tues morning. Email receiced at 9am on 2/4. So 10 days after request, including two public hols.

I ended up looking online when I was trying to find contact details. There was an online form for submitting a request for compensation for a flight downgrade. So I used that, and explained what I was asking for in the text box. Nicely. :) 🤞
