whats it like in Y, been sooo long
Y is still whY?
But in the right seat on the A380 it's not too... bad! I've had worse experiences in J. But I'm a person who when flying Y does not have very high expectations (and I'm often proved correct) and when flying J/F has higher expectations (and I'm often under-whelmed).
If anyone asks then simply say that you have a strict dietary requirement. No economy meals!I suspect FAs ask but hope you don't ask for much at all because there is not much they can give you without really pushing the friendship, and a J meal would be out of bounds IMHO - (and just imagine trying to set it on a Y tray, and the filthy looks from those nearby).
I have my own now! Do you think Qantas cabin crew would notice that it is one of theirs?2>, Noise Cancelling headphone
Come on, bring your own! I always pack one for the flight and I found I rarely use them nowadays.
You are not alone. I think "bubbly" is one of the most overrated things on the planet and I have only ever encountered that enthusiasm for it by a few people on this board.(I think I'm in a very small group of AFF'ers (maybe just me) that isn't much impressed with any "fizz" no matter how expensive it is! ).
It is so tacky IMHO to ask for stuff from J. Imagine, if you were on a school camp and you were asked if "You were alright with the meal?" and you requested a teacher's meal. It is out of place.
The single time I have travelled Y since becoming a CL I was offered (this is Y from SYD-SIN) a J blanket, pyjamas, amenity kit, wine and express passes for my family (plus all of the other perks). To be perfectly honest I felt really uncomfortable with the extra service but in order not to seem ungrateful I accepted. I think that it is grossly inappropriate to ask for a J meal. You have payed for Y and should not get anything major for J. I have a feeling that the reason so much was offered to me was because it was due to a scheduling conflict that I ended up in Y.

Not really a valid comparison either.I always enjoy reading your posts, there is always a gem in there that makes me laugh. Not sure I have ever thought of J and Y as teachers and school kids though.
Easy for you to say, you're a CL. While the other kids are stuck on the coughpy old Ventura bus to school camp, you're getting driven there in a Audi A8 limo, and probably getting comped-up to a carpeted cabin with your own bathroom when you get there.

Considering the FA's have at various stages bought me J Champers or amenity kits without my prompting, I believe it's perfectly ok to ask for them, providing you do it politely, don't ask for too much, and be friendly.
They are asking you if there is anything else they can do. A glass of champagne is discreet. An amenity kit not so much IMHO, and 95% of the time they are provided to me without asking.
It's also funny the constant mention of being a CL but that's just my 2c

The rest of us non-CL peasants sometimes have to ask for stuff... And risk being gauche and tacky.
I really think that it is a sweeping generalisation that non-CL's are peasants. I would also like to clarify that the example ment nothing other than to support my point. I had my far share of horrible school camps.
.... if you're a CL, it may be a sweeping generalization to say that other pax are peasants.......
When I've been travelling with non-WP peeps, the flight attendents have always given us all express passes - no point in me having one if I then have to wait ages for them to get through the queue, is there?!
This horrible situation is also avoided by not flying in whY...
