It’s always a nice feeling when they proactively move you forward a few rows… too bad for me it usually happens on a Dash-8 or single class B717 😄

Yes for me. I’ll usually have a Qantas coaster on my carry on bag for a few reasons. Similar to Princess Fiona’s comments, it saves having to fumble for my boarding pass or QFF card when joining the line for priority checkin or security lanes. Being a relatively young FF with status, there...

Based on the proposed network map and route changes document supplied by TfNSW it looks like only the 350 will run between SYD Airport and Mascot Station (then onwards towards Bondi Jn) with the 420 being curtailed to operate as Burwood to/from SYD Airport. The document states a 10 minute...

Same here and never had an issue. Note though that some offers specifically require you to use the BP Me App to pay at the bowser etc.

I think you’re correct. Network Aviation is a subsidiary wholly owned by Qantas and their flights carry a QF flight number, similar to Sunstate; i.e Qantas metal. Air North is a privately owned company with no ownership affiliation to the Qantas Group. You are able to book TL flights with a QF...

For those interested, from 19/04/2021 Alliance Airlines will remove the Fokker F50 from the ADL-OLP route in favour of an all Jet F70/F100 service. Schedules will change also to two daily return trips on weekdays and one daily return trip on weekends (below). Email circulated to those with...

I’ve been able to select Exit Row seats at check-in for free through the app. Not sure if that’s a status thing though? Also think you can select domestic Exit Row seats for free if you’re travelling on a classic reward ticket... although I haven’t done that in quite a while. Happy to be proven...

For anyone curious about seating options and availability (once it comes on sale for a brief second to the rest of us), looks like a few seats have already been allocated to those lucky P1's. Namely all J window seats taken; meaning the 22 available J seats will be in the E & F centre...

Managed to get myself a seat in the Y mini cabin. Excited might be an understatement. Promises to be a fun day and can’t wait to get back up in the air! (Albeit with a lovely 04:00 wake up) Fairly new to the forum so looking forward to meeting some of you guys in the lounge or onboard :)

Looks like QF are discontinuing their Chauffeur Drive service; just received an email for a late December trip from SYD to LHR. -- We’re making changes to our Chauffeur Drive services and wanted to update you before your next flight with us. From 15 April 2020, Qantas will no longer be...

Flew J 'true window seat' and bulkhead, found the seat to be quite comfortable as expected and felt much more spacious than on the A330's and B789's; with reference to the width of the side table, as well as the storage cupboard beside the window making it feel like you weren't squashed right up...

Just flew VH-OQK back from LAX (QF12). As it was a night flight, there weren't many people going up there, of the ones that did it was mainly individuals rather than couples or groups, so not noisy at all. The curtain between the mini cabin and bar area did a good job of blocking out light and...

Flew PER-BME-PER last year for a little holiday. B717 up and F100 back. Have to agree that the F100 certainly felt more comfortable than the B717. Granted the planes are certainly getting old, the seating and legroom were more than adequate for the relatively short flight duration. Bathrooms...

Wondering if travelling alone whether to choose 5B or 5J or would the upper deck still be better? Upstairs is more private, but 5B & 5J have copious amounts of space.
