    Qantas Courtesy Upgrade Love

    I got one on a last minute personal BNE-SYD as a P1 a couple of weeks ago. This seemed at the discretion of the lounge team and much appreciated. Most of my flying is in the top cabin so nice to see we get looked after when having to book down the back.

    Why do you travel?

    You can make work trips fit in. I don’t have an immediate family myself so willing to travel anywhere anytime. I think there’s a huge trend where people don’t want to travel. Seems like that’s starting to trickle through to domestic loads too. A little off topic but I just love to travel for...

    P1 Rebrand

    Team in syd and Mel were asking for my thoughts on the rebrand. Staff were saying they just look for the emerald logo in the app at the lounge but this will help a lot. Was in 1F on the 220 tonight and could see the CSM on his iPad but didn’t get a glimpse of how we appear in terms of colour codes.

    Why do you travel?

    Travel for work and I love it. Even though you don’t get to deeply explore somewhere you get great memories and get to find where you want to spend more time. That helps support the personal trips where I want to broaden my horizons and see what else is out there. Life is short and I want to...

    Qantas A220 Flight Review/s

    Good to know, I’ve proactively avoided them including a mel bne next week so should give them a go I’ve always justified an earlier or later as need wifi. The A220s still don’t have wifi right?

    Qatar Airways Lounge in Singapore T1

    I was actually disappointed with QR lounge 2 weeks ago. Used to be through a bit and their coughtail list is greatly reduced as is their food offering. It’s still worth a visit if you enjoy western dining but does feel there’s been some cost cutting. I used to advocate for people to make a trip...

    The view or two from my "office"

    In the AMS office enjoying a morning coffee. SQ at least have arranged a small area down the back of the Aspire lounge just for them which is perfectly adequate. From some prior days, I can 100% recommend not arriving at Mallorca airport any earlier than needed. I was flying BA and the...

    The view or two from my "office"

    Office view the last couple of days and a clear reminder of why I value QF points Unbelievable EK flights from check-in, lounge, transit and onboard service. Note to self to break up Aus-Europe as you just can’t enjoy that second leg as much as you want to. <redacted>

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    I’m not sure if it is or it isn’t but I enjoy the Syrah. Would happily be invited back. If I want top tier wine I’ll visit certain places but I think we can all form reasonable expectations based on the shared experiences here.

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    Just had an enjoyable SYD CL visit. Seems to just be a one off as have three flights this week. Also had really great crew ex HNL recently with a reserved sign at the lounge which came in handy as I arrived fairly late and that lounge fills up.

    Emirates restricts first class awards to elite members only

    Just through Syd domestic and they are promoting the QF EK partnership on the big screen above security so would be a little disingenuous if they remove this benefit.

    Spice bar at Melbourne Qantas Domestic Business Lounge

    I’m pretty sure we have although the Rendang is a fairly new one. I quite enjoyed it too last Thursday. Back through tomorrow to see if anything new. The Spice bar choice has become more important since they’ve removed the other hot food at around 3pm Some Baos or dumplings wouldn’t go astray...

    Sydney airport Baggage system outage

    Was running late for my golden triangle today and was not weighed. She clocked the P1 tag and let through. Patrols at regular and premium with both having the approved hand luggage tags in hand. I’m always under but just slows down. Can’t imagine they would introduce anything on class of...
