  • Fiji Airways business class drops inflight dining for preflight dining

    Jul 23, 2019, 12:25 PM

    I can't see why this is great for early morning departures.To have time to eat in the lounge without it being a rush means an earlier arrival to the airport. Isn't the idea for the pax to get more sleep, not less? Preferably in their own or their hotel's beds?

    It's nothing more than the general LLC model going into the business class productIt's already happening elsewhere.Not sure if it's great or not...

  • Qantas upgrades business class breakfast on flights from Asia

    Here is yesterday's business class options from CGK-SYD. This is supposed to be the new offering?It was served 30 mins before landing at just after 6am.The crew cleared everything with just 15 minutes to go. So the added rest component is very real. And a full dinner was served after take off w...

    To note that during the month of Ramadan, the arrivals lounge is affected far more than the departure lounges. Because it’s landside, different, more strict rules apply.The buffet becomes non-existing. Instead there’s a small menu available. Other items might be available on requ...

    I'd add to the "What's Not" section:The showers. For some reason, even the first class lounge showers are pretty poor at DXB. The showers in the concourse A lounge are the best but in B and C they are pretty poor.

  • Qantas first class check-in area at Melbourne Airport

    Apr 29, 2019, 06:01 PM

    Maybe it's a crack-down since last year? I've had 2 knock-backs so far this year. Both times it was only minutes to the 3 hours mark. But both times I had to wait those minutes...

    I can't see any conflicting comments? I've been at the QF MEL First Class check-in a few times recently and the 3-hour rule for checked baggage applied each time. We were only 5 minutes early on one occasion but still had to wait. And I can confirm that the staff told me that the 3-hour restric...

    I've been at the QF First Class check-in when it was open for other flights but they still would not accept checked luggage until 3 hours before the flight.

  • 13-hour overnight layover at Kuala Lumpur KLIA airport

    Feb 24, 2019, 09:14 PM

    Transit from KLIA to KLIA2 and vv is hardly fun. And it needs passport control and security x at least 2. If it's the same price or similar, stay at KLIA and use the Samma-Samma Express transit hotel and the MH lounges for food and beverage. You can come and go from the MH lounges as you please.

    That 5 hours is not a lounge visit duration limit. It's a definition of what a a oneworld international long haul flight is.Regardless, with a valid BP for your next flight, I've never had an issue accessing the MH lounges.
