Unoffical Wake for WP Anytime Access, Jan 29 2011

[jdlover23]

I'm enjoying my scrambled eggs and sausages in the mel J lounge as we speak about to trek across to virgin to jump on DJ825 if anyone else is on that flight, see everyone in Sydney

Now in the DJ lounge, Bevan couldn't change flights so 5 of us will be heading off soon.

Now in the Virgin Blue lounge, I wonder if I can leave the lounge and re-enter the lounge after the others have left.

Dear Qantas.

Thanks for providing the reasoning for me to visit the Virgin Blue lounge. Much better (IMHO) than the weekend set-up at the BNE J lounge.

This could become a habit... and we all know that means less income will go to Qantas.

Ironically I have never used anytime access before today - he says sitting on Dj825 - watching my free in seat tv( for the time being anyway)

Boarded DJ924 and found someone in my seat (4C). Cabin crew re-seat me in PE 3D

So far so good. We'll be departing soon, a little late.

How does Virgin Blue allocate seats, how do you double seat someone, especially as you check in at the lounge, could have been a last minute change but then the boarding pass gate scanner should have picked up the double seat allocation.

Bit disappointed with the news paper selection in the Virgin lounge.

More importantly for me is that someone stole my seat a breakfast in the Hilton:!:

There are plenty of seats in the club lounge at the Westin where I am finishing a delicious breakfast.

Same couldn't be said for the restaurant though - there were about 50 people waiting for a table and staff were calling room numbers - I have never seen it like that before.

Thank goodness I have a choice - although I did want my omelette (which you can't get in the club lounge). Life is difficult

Anyway, I think I might check out soon and make my way over. At least the weather seems to be clearing from my perspective on level 28 - it was dismal when I woke up at 8am.

Who were the dastardly trio who tried checking in for JQ35 from QP T2?

:shock:

My breakfast at QF J in Canberra was

Eggs, sausage, mushroom, hash brown, vegemite toast, rice pud with mango and coconut, orange juice... very adequate

Virgin supplied coffee

:shock:

Were they successful?

Anyone in Sydney J lounge yet? I'm up the back corner opposite hanger 191 away from all the rock royalty

I will leave here in about 10 minutes so I guess I will see you around 11. If memory serves, dfcatch should be in there now.

I don't think I can use the transfer bus though. Anyone tried it without having flown QF Dom or about to fly international? In any case, I don't mind the train and use it about 50% of the time anyway.

 

[munitalP]

At international now, JQ38 cancelled. Waiting to find out impact on QJ35

5.50 for transfer bus, fast and good value

Over by the computers under the plasma screen, there's 5 of us.

Was an elderly lady that required extra room, so they gave her row 4 and moved me up, instead of simply giving her a PE row.

Landed in SYD but taking forever to get to the gate.

Jetstar said they were providing an update at 10:30 - still no update, so they must be working on things!

Yup, sitting at home waiting for this update before I leave home for Syd T1 via +1's taxi service

Here's the udate:

Still scheduled to operate. Decision to be made later, but it looks as though the domestic leg is not affected.

The remaining Jetstar services scheduled for today are listed below. We will review advice received from the Darwin Volcanic Ash Advisory Centre and will provide a further update at 1630 (AEDT) in regards to the operation of these remaining services.
