    Nice wines I have drunk recently - Red or White

    When a resturaunt offers Chateau d'Yquem 2008, or Vin de Constance 2018 by the glass, there is no choice- just try both. d'Yquem on the left- very refined, balanced, long finish Constantia- big, bold flavours- good, but not the balance of the d'Yquem

    AA Business Reward seats not available to QF?

    True, but if AA policy is not to offer J/F seats to QF rewards, only Y, then hopefully QF does not offer J/F seats to AA rewards. Fair is fair........

    AA Business Reward seats not available to QF?

    Thanks Lynda2475, BA is/was available, but we are flying to Charlotte in Thanksgiving week and trying to avoid a US airport transit. Direct flights are limited to AA or LH, and we are not keen to burn precious SQ points on the LH biz option.

    AA Business Reward seats not available to QF?

    Thanks DAC1, I did have that set. But it seems ExpertFlyer sent me an alert as I had also ticked 'Business - Upgrade (Including 2-Cabin Domestic First) (C)' which I now understand is a paid upgrade for AA tickets with cash or miles, not Partner airlines reward tickets, and 'C' availability has...

    54 Days on the Moon

    I am certainly not an expert on the Crete campaign, but I understand we cannot totally blame the Brits for this one. They (The Brits) had, as I understand it, through Enigma transcripts, determined that Crete was to be invaded by Air, not Sea. Our commanders of the time could not accept this. It...
