Is that a case of some airlines / individual pilots having shall we say higher risk tolerances? And it wouldn’t just be specific to LHR right?

These are my observations too with IFE use. Had an issue recently which needed rebooting for everyone but they eventually fixed it. I wasn’t using the IFE myself but the other two-thirds would have been annoyed not to get it back online.

Cash for public transport, hawkers and most market stalls, although some of the latter take Mastercard/Visa. Otherwise your points-earning American Express is welcome at major/Western-type retailers and Grab for getting around. EDIT: Reportedly you can also use Visa/MC for the MRT, but not BTS.

If AI takes over the world, it definitely won’t be via 20 Questions…

Is it possible they're restricting pass usage for the J lounge because it currently has to absorb F lounge pax too?

Even in J (in fact even if there was F and I was the only one in it), both departure and arrival times are most unappealing.

You're right, I missed that. Here's the screenshot from the 'updated' email I received at 7:54 pm (so I don't post in haste and muck up the text as I did initially). Even though it says fare type and membership level, the checked allowances here are only about the latter.

The second round of emails have gone out...

Welcome to AFF. :)

Apparently the data has been leaked onto the dark web https://www.theguardian.com/business/2025/oct/11/hackers-leak-qantas-data-containing-5-million-customer-records-after-ransom-deadline-passes?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

Based on people’s reports it’s more likely it’s peak season and they restrict lounge pass use then, rather than your flying history or status.

Agree, wonder if it's because (I guess) they don't have fryers there?

I remember these admittedly very dated comments: https://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/community/threads/qn-for-737-regarding-staff-feedback.24390/post-341873 https://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/community/threads/qantas-excel-employee-recognition-program%E2%80%8F.47968/

That looks like next level working the system!

I'm getting the sense at at least when it comes to French, they don't really appreciate our making a good-faith attempt or some token words? Which goes against my instinct of trying, as opposed to demanding and expecting every Earthling to speak English?

I've just gone in and now I can see a lot more options!! It's like calling in a tradie and not being able to replicate the problem when they're there... I swear everything else was the same... Thank you :) EDIT: Actually I lie, there was one change. Just now I selected one-way, and was able...

Trying to use my Ultimate QF credit between MEL/SYD and I only get one flight and time option, each way. Am I doing something wrong? I've tried clearing the appropriate filters and logging out and in again. Apologies if this has been asked and answered, I skimmed all pages of this thread and...

IMHO I wouldn't want to encourage some I've seen to lug even more carry-on baggage as it becomes unwieldy and slows others down, plus as mentioned it'd eat into airlines' business model. If I'd been able to get a rebate for all the unused baggage allowance I've had over the years, I'd be able...

I can usually easily step around people standing on the ‘wrong’ side if necessary so IMHO not such an irritant for me. Many other selfish or ignorant behaviours that bug me, like smoking and leaving a stinky trail behind.
