Hi TRS123 Just found on FlyerTalk this forum from the start of this month which might answer your question. The 13th post has an image which shows BA280 check in opens at 12.50pm ahead of the 17.10hr departure...

Might have taken half a dozen loaves of bread as carry on once because the bakery was great haha.

Looks like Qantas could be making an ASX announcement on Monday outlining changes to its frequent flyer program. Likely to be the formal launch of its Classic+ product.

Gold frequent flyer here and very disappointed by this news as someone who has benefited pretty much every time on the golden triangle by selecting Row 4 at T80. While Qantas is touting it as great for P1 and chairman's club flyers, it is very much a devaluation of those unwritten but very...

Likewise, my double status from start of March are in. Seem the initial flights at the start of the period have come in a bit quicker than past years.

You'll get dinner just after takeoff and then breakfast before landing in Brisbane.

https://www.qantasnewsroom.com.au/media-releases/qantas-announces-new-chairman/ Former Telstra chairman John Mullen has been drafted to become the next chair at Qantas, replacing Richard Goyder. Reading his bio in the release. Mr Mullen is certainly racking up the director fees at the moment...

If anyone is looking for a referral link as well for the Qantas American Express Ultimate Card. here is one. Obviously I'll get 40,000 and you will get 100,000 if you have applied and are approved by April 2. https://americanexpress.com/en-au/referral/mATTHBaW2V?CPID=100532843 Have had this...

Looks like all the major airlines which suspended flights last year (Emirates, Cathay, the euro and US carriers) are returning to Tel Aviv from March, so that would be an indication that it is possible from a logistics perspective.

Heard from a friend at Brisbane Airport that AA is going to be starting services later this year. Apparently it will be announced very late tonight Australian time, but morning in the US. Certainly will make QF's option to the US even more inferior.

Hopefully they take a look at the A380s... Seems like there is always some kind of hold up making them push up a little bit later than scheduled than say Singapore Airlines and Emirates in my experience.

Had the new version on our flight to Noumea the other day + plus the French version of it, which probably all up took 8 minutes. The French one was much shorter without all the backstories and took just under 3 minutes.

Edited version is much better than the media cut, but six minutes is still a very long safety video. I feel 4 minutes is the sweet spot in keeping people engaged like the "safety in style" era from 2013-2015

My Samsonite bag came out on the carousel at Sydney T3 on Monday missing a wheel, which is not ideal when flying out again on holidays in a few days time. Saw Baggage Services who have did some paperwork and have also had to complete the online form on "what to do next" in getting it repaired...

Happy for a quiet lounge if only visual announcements/airport website information actually matches with what is happening at the gate. Too many times I've gone to the gate when I first see "boarding" on the screen to find out that boarding has not started, or that the plane has literally...
