Matthew and I were upgraded for no apparent reason from New York to LA to premium economy. God we loved it. Made sitting in cattle class LA to Brisbane a tad sad though but we had the memory of real coffee and cutlery. Hugs to you and sorry I missed you. I guess I should be more organised and read your blog more. Donna

On the way back, she, plus a friend to attend to her, were upgraded. Her friends were fighting over who got to be her aide!

Folks, it is hard to beat MAS's treatment of their passengers.

I can't even say that the fact that my luggage is in New Jersey is their fault!

As for what can happen when you have to change planes, a friend's mother was flying back to Roumania, from Canada, with a broken leg. She, and several others, got parked in Heath Row, London, for 12 hours and were forgotten about. Don't know about the others, but the mother couldn't speak English. Not funny. Luckily I have hubby around and as I said, I can walk a short distance so I can get assistance.

Like Jo I have to have wheelchair assistance too these days – I'm fine for short distances but not otherwise. I usually travel alone and you're helped every step of the way straight through flights but I wonder what happens if you have all these complicated connections? Scary.

I would have hated it even when I could walk all those distances. So glad you got upgraded, gave you a chance to relax and enjoy yourself. Who the hell worries about luggage!!!!!!

It might have included all the way to Philly, but I doubt it!

But lucky you, being upgraded like that – awesome.

Btw, they are now looking at promoting the fact that over 50% of Australian birds are in the top half, specifically the tropics – good excuse for you to come to Cairns (and yes, that is a hint/plead/beg)
