Re: Non-F-Class PAX massage success at SYD

Managed to score a massage at about an hour's notice on a Sunday morning back in May.

Very nice Day Spa. The masseuse was listing some of her clientèle too (I asked) - Jon Bon Jovi, David Beckham, 50 Cent, to name just a few!

Cheers,
- Febs.

I'm not so sure about that; QF Int flights generally commence boarding ½ hour before scheduled departure so that's 30 mins or 25% of those 2 hours gone already.
  • Increase your chances by 40% by getting in 3 hours prior. The lounges are certainly a nice place for pre-flight preparation.

That is where I draw the line actually. I live 20 mins from the airport, so that extra hour could be spent on other things....

If you fail in the 90 mins to get a sessions, then you'd have to spend that in the lounge time and NO lounge is better than my bed.

The real is that she touched 50 with her bare hands!

Beckham, on the other hand...

I have been wracking my brain to work out a way to guesstimate how busy the F lounge is likely to be at that time. I am not sure what other flights depart around that time from SYD...

We are planning on getting to the airport around 12PM

/me is starting to get slightly excited about The Big Personal trip finally

Cheers

simongr,

My sucess rate is 0 of 2 so I hope you are more sucessful.

And so I hope she now realises that the hard work and sacrifices you have put in doing all this travel really was for her benefit.

Back in November, SWMBO was able to have a facial treatment prior to flying to NZ on QF25 (She's not into massages these days).

Re: Non-F-Class PAX massage success at SYD

Success again - "hot towell facial" this time (not really my thing, but why not give it a go ). Got there as the Spa opened at 9am, got a 10am timeslot (flight delayed til 11am).

Cheers,
- Febs.

Is this a frequent flyer forum or Womans Day forum?
