Just back from Newcastle on my 1st Jetstar for a number of years, had luggage etc so took their bundle excluded food. Cost 392.00 return. QF don't do the route. Normally I have the time and go to Sydney and enjoy a leisurely train trip with the lovely scenery. The point is Mel-Syd would have...

Re: QF Upgrade Success Rate flew back on Sundays QF94, which arrived this morning and we had 2 upgrades on points accepted J to F. Only 9 in F, not full.

Yes, overseas you get all difference, but I would have thought they would have a standard in Australia. Do people realise that the amount of metal in a knee replacement is the same as a hand gun, no small amount.

Two weekends ago I went to Hobart from Melbourne on QF. I am 8 weeks into recovery of a knee replacement, so I went thru and yep as I was told would sound the alarm. Not problem, do the scan etc, show them the scar and off to lounge. On return at Hobart airport, I went thru the right hand...

We were in Victoria Falls in July 2014 on a Rovas Cape to Zanzibar trip and loved the falls. We also loved the VF Hotel, just gorgerous. Mainly going back for the sunrise over the Falls as my wife is the Camera person and missed the early sunrise, so we will be up early this time.

We fly out on Tuesday to Joburg and then the following day into Maun and onto Little Tutu and also Kings Pool and then onto Victoria Falls. Our second trip to the Delta, having been to Pom Pom Camp 3 years ago. Your photos were great, hopwfully we can take ones just as good.

Can't wait to hear about Kings Pool. We are there from 8 October, so your report will b e interesting to hear.

I wish to thank RED ROO for supplying the answer to my original question. Unfortunately a Sydney flight is next to useless for someone travelling home to Melbourne. To allow for delay, customs can add 4 - 5 hrs onto a flight. Will stick to my new CX direct flights.

Obviously you don't like people voicing opinions or asking questions. Crack a smile.............

Ok, Red Roo here is your chance. Tell us why QF no longer had a midday service from London and all planes now leave within a couple of hours of each other at 21.00 - 23.00 hours.

Solved the problem for me anyway. Changed the QF flights for May and June to CX252/CX163. Travelling J. Saleswoman at QF didn't want to make the change and told me the changes were for operational reasons. Said I now had more time to shop in London!!!!! Probably do this for remainder of year...

And your PROOF is..........................................................

No reason given, but I think it could be As all our planes now depart with 3 hrs of each other we ONLY need one set of staff, ie WE SAVE MONEY, bugger the customers.

We have had Alan Joyce complain lately about the competition from Middle East airlines flying to and from Europe. I am now one of QF WP people about to jump ship because AJ only cares about the bottom line and doesn't care at all about what the customer wants. Let me explain. If a pax was...

Not a problem for me, I pay or my own company pays, and I don't have money to throw away on J domestic.
