Why Cathay won’t bring back its Hong Kong arrivals lounge
Apr 15, 2026, 03:30 PMI accessed it once but there was nothing there but a long wait for showers. Unless it's a good service there's no point having it.

Qantas Club lounge membership fees increase
Nov 07, 2025, 03:03 PMYes to the Senior Life pass - I got mine 20 years ago and though the fee was a big swallow at the time, it's been one of my best investments.

Huge changes coming to Sydney Airport Domestic T2
Nov 27, 2024, 03:05 PMAgree with all these comments.I try to avoid them because they ALWAYS claim I have metal somewhere on me - never actually in my arm, where there is some, but everywhere else.

Adelaide Airport rolls out advanced ‘3D’ scanners
Sep 04, 2024, 04:50 PMAnnoying for me, as these scanners always claim to find metal on me, usually in a different place each time. I've previously been able to go through the old machines without trouble.

Oct 09, 2019, 05:24 PMI've done OK (Gold FF) on QF1 and 2, which are pretty full, but I buy Premium Economy - the full jump from economy (which somehow is always discount economy) is a bridge too far, and in any case PE is not a bad fallback.

Closest non-Airport railway station from Melbourne and Brisbane Airports
Sep 27, 2017, 03:04 PMBoth these processes are bizarre ways to save trifling amounts while giving anyone with luggage a great deal of hassle - each to his/her own I suppose.Oddly, in Sydney, if you're more tight fisted than I have been so far (but tempted given the price of airport rail), you can take the train to sub...

Gold FF in Qantas domestic business
Jun 19, 2017, 05:36 PMI was surprised in Sydney recently to be told that I couldn't access the domestic business lounge using my QFF Gold. Not a huge problem as I'm QC Life, but it seems odd I can use my QF Gold with one world around the world but not with Qantas in Sydney.Also, I was surprised that I couldn't access ...
