Nov 10, 2022, 02:44 PMNot to forget the Picadilly Line - which depending on where you're coming from is a long but very straightforward way to the airport.

Massive change coming to millions of British Airways frequent flyers
Nov 02, 2022, 04:53 PMNice in theory. Just as it seems fair that QF should award points and status based on the upgraded class if you do a cash upgrade to a paid ticket. Lufthansa does this, but of course it's too much to ask from QF...

On you next trip, don’t forget to send a postcard...
Jul 18, 2022, 12:12 PMI always send lots of postcards. People love receiving them, and it's a good chance at the end of a day to reflect on where you are and what you've seen. Also a great excuse to prop yourself up in the corner of a pub or cafe and people watch while scribbling.They don't have to be amaz...

Germany’s Deutsche Bahn railway joins Star Alliance
Jul 05, 2022, 08:49 PMI'm picturing the poor conductor being called in to resolve an outright fight between a Lufthansa Senator and a Bahn Comfort status holder over who should be entitled to the last remaining Bahn.Comfort seat on a packed Friday evening ICE...

Eurostar to launch high-speed trains between London and Germany
May 16, 2022, 08:57 PMBe interesting to see if this goes ahead. 15 years ago Deutsche Bahn was promising Frankfurt-London services in time for the 2012 Olympics. Apparently the difficulties in mismatched signalling and electrical systems were such that it just never happened.

QF Lifetime Gold - leftover Qantas Club membership
Nov 16, 2022, 10:44 PMI'm 87 status credits from lifetime Gold, so I should get there soon. I'm pretty sure I've got at least 18 months Qantas Club membership still to run - it's been sitting there for many years since I last hit Gold. Obviously I'll never need this again.A while back I think someone suggested Qanta...

QF status on Iberia/Air Nostrum
Aug 15, 2022, 06:49 PMHi all - any idea if QF status credits are earned on an Iberia-marketed flight which is listed as "Operated by Air Nostrum for Iberia"? Apparently Air Nostrum is a "Oneworld Affiliate" and the QF partner earning site suggested the relevant flight (IB8707) would accrue status.The call centre didn...

Welcome to Country?!
Oct 29, 2021, 08:26 PMIt would be nice if they focussed on getting us from A to B safely and comfortably, rather than indulging in fashionable tokenism.The maps in the QF lounges showing various language groups are fascinating. If they really feel the need, simply tell us whose country we're flying to or over. Make ...

Oneworld Emerald lounge recommendations for Narita, Heathrow
Jul 22, 2019, 08:42 AMOriginally Posted by stoffel The American Airlines lounge at Narita has some of the nicest showers you'll find in an airport lounge. Also much quieter than the JAL First Class lounge whenever I've visited. +1 for the AA lounge's showers.
