Qantas first class gets Bollinger, ‘dine on demand’
Dec 03, 2025, 08:01 PM...oh can't we be snobs on Champers? I'm not keen on Pommeroy at all, and I do prefer Bolli. But, Tattinger Comtes is brilliant, as is Piper's 'Rare' (now it's own brand). I'll pump QF as much as I can, but it's still behind, and my trips in QF F this year haven't been mind-blowing. 'Dine on Dema...

Singapore Airlines to launch next-gen business class suites
May 28, 2025, 04:14 PMIt's good to see. I was a PPS for many years and still, where possible, fly SQ through Asia.But, I hate to say it, SQ are behind the 8 ball on seating. I won't fly the A380 in Bus because the product is just way behind the standard today. It would be nice to see SQ back as the cream of the crop.&...

Qantas upgrades Adelaide airport lounge dining
May 23, 2025, 11:14 AMDay trip to ADL yesterday and used the Bus Lounge on arrival & departure. My verdict?10/10. I don't know how you could whinge about this lounge. It's the best domestic lounge in Australia (outside of CL). The staff are, notably, cheery and really happy to be there. I enjoyed that. The showers...

What new US flight disruption rules mean for Qantas refunds
Oct 30, 2024, 02:52 PM...well, for one, I'm happy. Caught way too many times from a less than impressive 'caring' QF.

Complimentary Gold - 2400 SC's (Has This Changed)
May 24, 2024, 04:46 PMFor as long as I can remember (let's say pre-COVID), you hit 2400 SCs, and you received a 'Complimentary Gold membership for a family member or friend'. This week, I ticked over 2400 and noticed what I understand to be a new requirement that (I believe) wasn't previously there, the reference to *...

QF First Class Lounge at LAX-To tip or not tip? Dilemma
May 24, 2024, 04:36 PMIt's a good discussion and quite fair - to tip or not tip in the QF First Lounge.I was in there this week, and four weeks earlier. I think the service we receive is very good. Yes, the staff are paid above minimum wage in CA (which is better than much of the US), but, it's not a big ask to leave ...

Emirates & Status Retention - The Bliss of Arrogance
Aug 05, 2020, 03:52 PMThere's nothing worse than a whinger. In our (Australian) culture, it's the person you run a mile from. So, with this in mind please forgive the forthcoming.Emirates lives in a world of blissful arrogance. Status Retention? No such thing. And, why, praytell, is that so? Simply because EK expects ...

Qatar's Doha business class lounge is so busy!
Jul 03, 2019, 02:49 PMYes regretfully QR hasn't managed to find a balance between Al Safwa & Al Mourjan access. One is an empty ballroom, the other a Tokyo subway.
