Hello all - as you may have deduced from my handle, I am someone who often does day trips between Sydney, Canberra and Melbourne for Qantas, all in economy I'm afraid, the odd US trip in Business, ("J") with Qantas, and holiday-time family travel at Christmas that hoovers up the good work in accumulating points from the rest of the year :lol:

I am a Qantas Gold Frequent Flyer, on the verge of Platinum.

In no particular order, I:
  • am delighted Coolangatta (OOL) has a Qantas Club again;
  • detest domestic US air travel and if you are heading to the East Coast, strongly recommend flying into Dallas from Sydney, if you can help it;
  • know BA can sometimes be disappointing, but swear by the quality of the tea they serve; and
  • hate that feeling when the last person to get on to the Dash 8 between Sydney and Canberra is going to sit next to you - and they're enormous (this happens to me more times than I think is fair).

Anyway, looking forward to enjoying the forum. I do have a specific question to ask, but that will be in another thread. Cheers!
 
Welcome to AFF. Don't think I've ever been on a Dash8... :oops:

Hahahaha!
I know that feeling about those anxious nerves you get when you book a seat based on the fact that there is no one next to you.
You ask at the checkin desk and they confirm that it's still empty.
And then it happens. Just ask you begin to relax and start to take over that seat, BAM!
"oh hi, I think I'm in this seat next to you"
... Great.. /headphones /book "wine please!!'"

I hate Dallas :/ I'm in Melbourne so QF93 with a LAX layover feels like home to me. But I also enjoy shopping so that could be the sole reason...

Welcome to the forums :)
 
Welcome to AFF Dash8H8r!

Not a bad aircraft. Decent legroom for economy.
