I had a flight booked to arrive there for late 2012! BA990 LHR to BER. It was switched back to TXL around 2 months prior, so wasn't exactly a surprise ;-) Have flown in and out of Tegel many times subsequently, and will likely get through there at least once more!

Thanks for your help :-) Managed to sort something that will work out.

Will call QFF later on when I have a moment. But having this issue for every European destination across multiple dates in October. Not one CX option. Tried ZRH / FRA / MUC / CDG / MXP. Are married segments that widespread on CX? Might just go EK instead at this rate.

Hi all, Just wondering if anyone else is having issues this morning - I'm trying to find reward availability from HKG to ZRH in October this year, and for some reason I can't see any CX flights ex-HKG in the QF booking engine. If I do a dummy search for MEL - ZRH, then CX shows up as an option...

Looks like QF94 has abandoned their approach to Avalon, and now vectoring back to Melbourne. Going to be very busy for the next hour getting all of the holding aircraft down!

Hi all, Apparently Melbourne tower has been evacuated. Flights are now starting to divert: QF94 has been cleared for an approach at Avalon, and CA177 is off to Sydney. Updated with article: Flights suspended at Melbourne Airport after fire alarm goes off in control tower Delays today expected!

I'm a considerate parent but I doubt I would've been as polite in response. Yes - there are a few parents who struggle with their kids, or just give up, but they're in the minority. Most of us also want our little ones to settle in and go to sleep. But as any parent (or anyone with parents ;-)...

As others have mentioned, airlines have a whole range of reasons why they might upgrade someone. Kindness of their corporate hearts has little to do with it ;-) I've been lucky as someone with typically the lowest status to get upgrades on BA twice from LHR to JFK (once had to move to later...

As someone who's helped 4 police and 2 security guards restrain a 50kg 15-year-old girl on MDMA, you do not want to play games with agitated passengers in a confined space over a period of many hours. Qantas / the flight crew clearly did the right thing. And having a spare 787 isn't really the...

That reminded me of the time a few years back an Air India 787 was lined up with runway 35 at Essendon, instead of 34 at Tullamarine: Incident: Air India B788 at Melbourne on Jan 14th 2014, nearly landed on small airport As a question - I'm interested in incidents that occur below levels of...

It's all a matter of value for each individual, and that will have both 'real' and 'perceived' aspects. Prior to having a young child the lounge access was indeed the best part of status - now it is the priority check-in and security. The little one is slow at learning patience. And the...

The ultimate test is whether a reasonable person in the OP's position would have assumed that the booking was confirmed - not the average AFF forum lurker. So whilst you may not have a terribly sympathetic audience here, but in reality maybe 75% of people would've assumed as you did. QF will do...

QF28 has diverted to MEL tonight. It's now on its way up to SYD with an ETA of 2053 which will make it 193 minutes late.

On my first solo trip overseas I was waiting to board Continental from HNL to MEL.They were overbooked and were asking for 6 volunteers. I had seen this a couple of years earlier travelling with my dad, when we got US$200 each for volunteering for a 2 hour wait for the next flight delay on CO...

Maybe the strong forward bookings for MEL-PER-LHR have convinced QF management that Y-class passengers just love 9 across, so they're going to convert some A330's to it also? ;-)

The problem being that it would largely destroy South Korea too, at least economically. A shock like that would do incalculable damage to the global economy too. Everyone knows that so it's all posturing for the respective domestic audiences (Kim in Nth Korea and Trump in the USA).

Racial profiling, as well as being de facto discriminatory, also doesn't work: Much more effective to spend the effort and resources earlier in the chain of events that lead to groups or individuals taking action. And leave the risk assessment to the professionals. The main problem in this...

Unfortunately some people in this country (and too many others...) still have a problem with gay people existing at all, let alone any public recognition of that fact. And if you read the whole thread it wasn't just the OP as some others thought it 'inappropriate' for children to see an ad with...

It's all largely theatre - a show of force to keep the masses calm. Note that I'm not saying that alone is not a worthwhile exercise. There's no indication at this stage that the device(s) in question would have made it through the regular screening points, or if it would have necessarily...

Re: E-rewards: got invited via Accor, participated, got to about 25,000 e-reward poin I've earned around 20k Velocity points using eRewards. It tends to be in fits and starts - when I have a specific points use in mind. I probably should be more dedicated but it can get a bit soul destroying...
