• I certainly use a mobile but I try to avoid global roaming charges - will our vaccine passports be off-line?

  • We're all getting excited but I never see any discussion of when or whether travel insurance will become available. Without that, most of us won't be going anywhere.

  • Haven't tried the Alliance version, but a few years ago flew on a BA Embraer from the (wonderfully convenient) London City Airport to Madrid Barajas. Really comfortable experience in economy.

  • A few years since I've been to Broome, but this is definitely an improvement on the old VIP lounge they used - not to mention having to be on good behaviour because I ran into my (Adelaide) dentist there.

  • Only once travelled from LCY, but it was wonderful to stay overnight at a Docklands hotel and travel for 5-10 minutes on the Docklands Railway to get there.

  • I understand AirNZ are able to fly domestically in Oz, they can be their own domestic link.

  • I add my vote to those saying more space - and more seats, especially provision for solo travellers. Preferably I'd like more flights from Melbourne, if Qantas continues to desert Adelaide: anything to avoid the atrocity that is Sydney Airport.

  • One wrinkle is that Qantas Gold/OW Sapphire doesn't get you in to OW lounges when travelling Jetstar Business, as I discovered at Japan Airline's Lounge at Osaka - although the CIP used by Jetstar there is really rather good and uncrowded.

  • Last time I was in the Admiral's Club at JFK (some years ago) I ended up with a large quantity of NY subway tokens so I asked the barman if he'd be happy to be tipped in tokens (he was).

  • Amazing to get a QF enhancement which actually enhances. Together with a restoration of the Kangaroo route, I can go back to using QF at least to some European destinations. Still have Business Saver and PE fares higher than other OW, however.

  • I want to complain! I went to the trouble of collecting a thick wad of them to last my flying lifetime and as I won't be going overseas till December, I now have to get rid of them.

  • Don't want to go via the middle east especially DBX, so Cathay gets my business especially as they haven't abandoned Adelaide. A small (very) bouquet to QFF that they somewhat increased the partner earn rate ex ADL as a slight concession to their guilty consciences.

  • I'm always surprised that the Qantas group don't run a direct Jetstar flight to HKG, probably from MEL, rather than the absurdity of transit through Singapore. Another smart move for QF would be a codeshare to Europe ex HKG - CX would be the obvious partner except that the two hate each other, al...

  • The best improvement which airlines could make to PE is more convenient toilets - apparently Qantas will do this on the 787. There's nothing worse that waking up after overnight, walking to the economy toilets and discovering a mile long queue. At least those in economy can see what's happening a...

  • In some ways a pity but expected since the RBA busybody started interfering. Not too upset since the FF Black isn't too bad, though my annual European trip in J may need to be paid in two dollops.  Basically more convenient to have one, though it's bad luck I gave up my regular Amex which wa...
