Hi All I've been lucky in my life, I spent a long time working on North Sea oil rig working up to 6 weeks at a time at sea. then later on in that job I worked 3 weeks on 3 weeks off followed by 4 weeks on 6 weeks off for the last 2 years. This was all before I could phone home every night and...

Not in the lounge as such BUT I would like to say how grotty, packed, loud and generally untidy and worn out the Melbourne international business lounge was last month (or is it just me?) I flew from Melbourne to Dubai with QF on the late night flight and spent 20 mins in the lounge before I...

I did ask to see the calibration certificate for the scales at the customer service desk but was fibbed off with some sh%t. I was given the usual line "they were calibrated earlier in the year" to which I said "then you will be able to provide a certificate then" but more sh^t. It's easier...

Hi Hvr Many thanks for the reply. I called Qantas today about another issue and I raised the issue. They where very helpful and looked at my booking and told me I would gain 240 status points for the trip. I was told to call BA about using points to up-grade on the Sing to Bris leg but...
