    SQ321 LHR-SIN Encountered Severe Turbulence [At least 1 Fatality and 30 Injured]

    I was in Vizag last week and they were advising that a very deep low had formed over the Bay of Bengal and were expecting the monsoon to start early, so I suspect it maybe a contributing factor :(

    Air New Zealand or Singapore Lounge at MEL T2?

    For me I much prefer the space and natural light of the NZ lounge to the SQ lounge. I find it dark and too small for the number of pax. Usually, I pop in the SQ lounge for some Asian food fix and then slope off to the NZ lounge for better wine.

    Which lounge was nice surprise to you?

    For me it was the RJ lounge in Amman. So many different elements, stand up arcade machines, pizza and pasta section, ice cream maker, chocolate and sweets counter, large buffet and of course a bar. The only downside and it was not a major issue is the lounge is open to the departure lounge...

    Made any travel mistakes lately?

    Travelling in Q suites a few months ago, had a few drinks ;) and fell asleep and was woken by another passenger shaking me, why ? I had forgotten to turn the alarm off on my phone and it was merrily ringing away (probably waking the whole cabin)

    How do Hilton treat you as an Elite?

    Yes I had the same at the Q Hotel in Perth, day before I received an e-mail offering a paid upgrade which I declined and when I checked no upgrade offered but all categories were available. I asked and they said they are not available for upgrade but only for sale !!!

    Sliding doors in business class: A gimmick or not?

    I have just done QR in J from MEL to LHR on both the A380 and 777. For me I liked the privacy on the Q suites when the door was closed. But one thing I did notice was the change in service when in Q suites vs the A380 J seat, on the older style A380 service was very much in evidence where as in...

    Accor Fast Track to Silver/Gold/Platinum

    Looking at the Accor website there are no indications this is live yet for anyone, I think the intermediate website loyaltylobby does not have the correct information and maybe they have jumped the gun ?? !

    Entry requirements Qatar

    I have a return trip from LHR to MEL with a 7.5 hour transit in DOH mid-February, does anyone know the latest situation for entering Qatar on an Aussie passport ? My thoughts were to go through immigration and get some fresh air and maybe use the arrivals lounge to freshen up and even go for a...

    In Defence of the Melbourne Dungeon

    For me at the end of the day QF J lounge at MEL beats sitting out in the terminal paying for overpriced drinks and food.

    In Defence of the Melbourne Dungeon

    I always choose the NZ Lounge instead of the SQ lounge (now if you want to talk about a dungeon feel !!) I would take QF J over SQ J anytime at MEL.

    What cheeses me off

    Having just returned from a holiday in Margaret River, when I am on the beach and there is an exclusion zone around me of at least 10m, and a family/group of lads/girls decide that sitting about 1m from me is the best place on the beach. Trust me at 50+, grey and love handles not the place to...
