If my waitlist doesn’t clear I will buy a ticket and get to where I want.

If it goes through no issues I reckon.

The fares are a bit on the higher side compared to getting to MEL from KUL on MH, the cheapest I got was around RM2600 ex SIN. But they average out around RM3000+. The SYD-MEL portion will be operated on QF metal just make sure you have the BA number on it and you're all set.

Yeah I agree. The price is more or less the same if to Europe but just in case you’d pressed for time.

I just came back from a trip to MAD over the long weekend last month for the qualifying sectors, got around 20k + avios and an op up to WT+ on the way back so it’s all fun!

Same here!

I’ve done one FFP during check in (for benefits) then switching to another one at the gate (for miles accrual) in Hong Kong. Does not work everywhere though

How old is the old a350 exactly. They’re all pretty new I thought .

Ah got it! Understood.

I've tried the J on the new A380, I got the bulkhead which turns into a 'double bed'. The seat itself is fine but I'm not too fond of J on SQ.

I’ve got cleared waitlisted 2 days before for SYD on the new suite. Haven’t seen where you can redeem it outright SAVERS.

Not too long ago, the seat was waitlisted prior to the implementation of the 2 weeks rule.

I can imagine the taxes of that itinerary🤯

WOW

Woooo this is gooood!

I actually quite like the MH F Lounge in KL after the renovation. It's a very cosy and quiet place to relax for most parts of the day. The crowd comes in late evening with the Australia / UK / Japan departures where there are a lot of Emeralds. My only complain is the food, the menu has not changed for like years.

That being said, I've been to most of the oneworld F Lounges with the exception of Al Safwa, The Concorde Rooms, and Qantas' First Lounge in London, the one's I've been to did not disappoint. My highlights would definitely be the Qantas F Lounges in SYD;LAX;and SIN. The newly renovated JAL F Lounge in Narita is EXCELLENT as well.

Hopefully when The Private Room is reopened, it will be on par if not better. SQ's Lounge experience is unfortunately a weakpoint on a otherwise very stellar product.

Most of the major players have some sort of status extension with the latest being British Airways (phew!).

That ribeye felt a bit weird. But that was gone like maybe 2-3 years ago? The current menu of pasta, japanese hamburger, assam fish, is on rotation for everyday for the past two years at least. Surely they could have change the menu at least a few times in a year.

The Private Room's food is actually pretty good, topped off with some nice Dom. It's just a bit too dated and snooty whereas the rest of the world seems to be taking a more modern contemporary approach.

The toothbrush in that open shut case is very good indeed!!

Shower rooms I think no one does it like Cathay Pacific’s in Hong Kong. The shower rooms in SIN’s QF Flounge is pretty neat too. I’m a sucker for good lounge showers 🥰

They will do good by providing more 'atas' bath products. It doesn't live up to what they have onboard

Since we're in the topic of showers here are some of my favorites (not sure when is the next we'll have a discussion about showers )

1. The Wing Cabanas @ HKG. This place is as huge as someone's room in Hong Kong.






2. Qantas F @ SIN. There is a lighting panel on top which has dusk day dawn settings to mimic sunlight (gimmicky i know)

3. The Pier @ HKG. This is their F Lounge. The Pier J has actually better showers IMO, they're similar but much bigger in size. The Aesop toiletries






Just to throw this in as well, the FCT at Frankfurt. The shower room is huge, some come with a bathtub. While the shower room is pretty normal the terminal itself is a whole another level!








A good shower room should always have a toilet ensuite!!
