The totally off-topic thread

Still not upgraded from what I hear... My guess is that they are due to leave HI soon.


Yes, the rumour mill is going wild. One of the potential names mentioned was an interesting one.

The HI BNE rooms have been upgraded, at leaston Levels 14 and up, very similar to Cairns in style and quite a step up from what they were like previously.

If only it actually was free. We all pay for it in other ways.

Nothing is free in the QP's - what is available is "complimentary".

Yep. Im surprised i dont get charged a carbon tax to use the qp...

Btw for the heavy gamblers amongst us, the brisbane casino vip rooms have also been 'enhanced' with the range and availability of free food and drinks. Now that really is a place where nothing comes for free.

Ps. Im not in casino rewards but have friends who guest me into the tiered status lounges at various times.

Yeah the trip report from nigelinoz showed the refurbed room. Looks nice.

Btw in the comment above i was talking about sin atrium not being upgraded, not hi bne.

It will be very interesting if pc do lose the rights to hi bne. Altho the mooted replacement is interesting. Not accor but i do have top tier with that chain.

Well, my last SCs from the 50% extra promo came through. I'm WP again...

This may be the final year I can be QF WP (or any top tier) for a while......

Wish I’d have a 50% bonus, and will probably need at least that if I am to re-qualify starting in March, but I too am now a W@nker

Welcome to the club . Hope you can see some of the fruits of your... ahem, "labour". (Can't really call it "work" now, can we? )

We can call it stress though

If you don't earn, hopefully you'll be comp'd. Congrats anyway - Regardless of all of the "shortcuts" available, 1200SC is still hard to get (and definitely not cheap either as a mostly SFWP!)

And congrats (again) too. It seems strange that the first lounge you attended after flying the WP flights was the DJ lounge. Hehe. (Bad influence).

Oh, and in other strange news... I was sitting about 5m away from an AFF'er yesterday for about 2 hours, and neither of us worked it out until much later.

Impossible for some !I have trouble getting 250SC's just to maintain silver,which is why I wish VA would link up with Rex,I have 92 flights with Rex
since they stopped their FF program,I can only imagine what SC's I would have on Velocity for that amount of flights.
Cheers

2 QF sectors yesterday.Even though these were purchased in December and I reached the lofty heights of Silver in november my BPs still said QCbronze.
Never mind I still had my NB shadow on both!!!3B on the crash8 and 6D on the 738.

Just cleaning out. Anyone want a copy of the 90th Anniversary Special of Qantas The Australian Way? Free to a good home (or even a bad home)

I believe I played a small part in helping you two figure that out.

With all these iPhones, smartphones, geosocial programs, you'd think it'd be impossble to miss people while lounging. It'd be so much easier if everybody just had Grindr.

It’s worked for me, though I’m not sure Mal wants to download it particularly

SO was sitting in the window seat with another AFFer in the aisle but in this case both of them did recognise each other.

No grindr for me. I already have to deal with a lot of real life knobs in life without having them pop up on my phone. Oh and the ping... No thanks.

Indeed. I did know they were around the airport but thought they would have grabbed the earlier flight not the one they did. Oh well. Another time...

Ahhhh the ping. Yesterday when I landed into SYD I made my phone ping, it's funny watching a few heads pop up and look around.
