• You cannot enter unless you're a Citizen of USA or a Green card Holder.

  • I miss my First Class seat on Sydney to Dallas. Maybe never again?

  • The wierdest thing in this article is that 21 of fittest and healthiest Australians, in an age bracket around the age of 25 who are actually at zero risk of dying from Covid 19 are willing to voluntarily comply with wearing a face mask.  Why any person would comply is beyond me.

  • Chris, any ideas how to stop Air NZ airpoints expiring. I have $2,000 worth expiring in January 2021 and stuck in UK unable to use them (except to buy Koru membership; which again, seems like a waste since I cannot use any of the services).

  • Yesterday, Sweden recorded 3 Coronovirus deaths.  Most deaths almost everywhere have been in the over 80s and even over 90s.  Very few deaths have been recorded in the under 50s, with practically none in the under 25s.  If you're happy to rob the life from the Nations young folk - ...

  • Is there a vaccine for Stupidity?  Because locking up everyone in Australia for over a year and waiting for a foreign Nation to develop a safe and efficient vaccine is the stupidest policy decision that any Australian Government has ever taken.  "Until it is safe = never".  End loc...

  • Doberman, you're absolutely correct. Australia has gone nuts over a virus that is basically harmless to greter than 99% of the Australian population. Never in human history has a society attempted to "defeat" a virus by imposing mass quarantine on its healthy citizens. This can only end in tota...

  • I often stay at the Parmelia and although not having a lounge, it doess give Diomond members vouchers for both drinks and tapas plates served fresh from the restaurant in the bar. In many ways, a better option than lounge nibbles and the Tapas changes daily.

  • I'm LTG for a few years and was Plat for about 10 on the trot. There's no realistic way to get Lifetime Plat so that's no incentive to keep QF as No1 choice. I just go after cheapest fair nowadays with any airline. My suggestion would be to give LTG access to Business Class Lounges (rather than ...

  • Not too bothered about the boarding process getting ON, what I'd like to see is Qantas getting my bags OFF the plane with some kind of priority for status so I can get in the front of the taxi queue to get on my way home. That is one system than has never worked! Baggage seems to come off compl...

  • To get from a civilized place like Perth to another civilized place like London without having to faff about for 3 hours in some distant corner of the 3rd World is definately the way to travel IMHO.

  • I've been doing Perth to Seattle for 3 years now 2-3 times per year. Hope these thoughts help West Coasters. AMEX Platinum seems to offer some great deals flying Perth - HK - Tokyo - Seattle as a One World codeshare. Done that twice now. I got one-way for under $4,000 in September. JAL is exc...

  • Love this article and learned a bit. Just flew Australia to Seattle on JAL and consumed some "Japanese" Whistky!

    Absolutely the best thing about flying Emirates by a Country Mile*.*Apart from the self-serve bottle of The Dalmore King Alexander III Scotch and the Hennessy Paradis Cognac!

  • Never flown into SFO. Is there a lounge accepting Premier Pass, or even a AMEX Lounge by any chance?
