Not just the SIN lounge, this is a feature of all QF J napkins - and one I enthusiastically wear. Regards, BD

What … “lemmings” …?? Seriously, the quoted post related to people and preferences with respect to flying QR. I’d suggest my response was totally in keeping with that. Regards, BD 1712209990 Then additional reasons to avoid SYD. Now, if only QF would facilitate that!! Regards, BD

Nothing to do with NP lettuce (non) mix. Some “lemmings” avoid QR for a number of reasons, not least its treatment of staff and the whole issue of how QR/Doha Airport Authorities treated a plane load of female passengers. Rather pick up AY via SE Asia than trust QR “care”. Regards, BD

"let's do wonderful" Regards, BD

MEL-SYD-AKL-SYD-MEL Same as others above, booked during the March 2023 DSC offer. 40+85+85+40 SCs for (an inflated compared with previous years) $2012 or $8/SC all fares in D Class. Obviously the DSC halves this cost. Original Itinerary had me flying QF406/QF145/QF148/QF497 in December 2023...

Looks like a last-minute rush-job in time for the school year restarting ... Regards, BD

Especially since its spelt "Finnair" in 2 meter high letters down the side of the aircraft!! Regards, BD

I've yet to see anyone comment that they've found this seat supportive of extended working with laptop etc ... I know I struggle with this aspect (or any aspect of an upright, straight posture). Considering this is situated in AY's J cabin are AY targetting primarily monied leisure travellers...

Really? Scope 1 carbon emissions still at (roughly) 83% of their 2019 figures, with net emissions *targetted* to reduce by only 25% by 2030 and and net zero only by 2050. It also recognised market pressures on the offset price hitting the company's bottom line risking those targets. (2023...

Would love to see the spin on QF defending their green credentials on this !! Regards, BD

Why would you expect a celebrity caterer whose idea of a salad is three green leaves to be able to be able to coach the consistent preparation of a steak? Hopefully he will be "enhanced" under the new regime. Regards, BD

I've always judged an airline on its ability to handle IROPS - so an airline that recognizes its ability to work when there are extenuating circumstances. That may mean having capability to switch airframes, offer alternative routes. The advent of a 7hour delay on a trunk domestic route says to...

This latest flight was booked November last year ... I have LTG and am seriously considering not using QF next EU trip. Regards, BD

I think we're starting to get bogged into the technicalities of EU261. Although my intent was to highlight that 261 may be relevant in some instances it was also the intent that this thread triggers a discussion on what we - as passengers - can request to overcome excessive delays. But back to...

Why does it make a difference whether that contract is written by AY or QF (the question my response was to)? The key here is the *operating* airline out of the UK/EU. From a company perspective they *should* be made aware to care. Under EU261: 2. An operating air carrier denying boarding or...
