    I learnt a valuable lesson yesterday

    Planes are cleaned before new boarding is allowed. Anything left behind from previous flight would have been handed by the plane cleaners to staff before boarding starts. So I am surprised the CSM offloaded the articles before announcing it on the plane. I think that the CSM was not up to...

    Priority Checked Baggage - What a joke !

    I agree with the comments made. Many a domestic and international flight with business class my luggage seems to get to the last of the quede. The only area seems to be Changi where the luggage seems to get to the carousel before I do. I have never been placed too far back for my luggage. The...

    Pulled off Flight and still 15min to go:(

    Virgin runs such a tight turn around. I remember one one flight, we were paged to go to the boarding gate when the aircraft had not even arrived at the gate. I have also heard many calls for passengers to make their way to the gate as the flight was closed. there seems to be no uniformity in...

    No more QF chauffeur drive to LAX and DFW

    Re: No more QF chauffer drive to LAX and DFW Don't talk about chauffeur transport when first and business class passengers are cramped into buses to transfer from Terminal 3 to International. could more consideration be given and transport them in cars instead. I have nothing against buses but...

    Re: Not lot of time to use QP int lounge at Syd, if connecting flight is from Aust do change the ADL-SYD or ADL-MEL to an earlier flight. I fly BNE_SIN via Syd to increase the no. of SC and always have at least 2-3 hours in Sydney before the flight to Singapore.

    Best Business Class Seats? [by Airline/Model/Configuration]

    Singapore airlines has the configuration 1-2-1in J class which allows access to the aisle from any seat without having to climb over anybody at any time. Wonder why all of the airlines are not doing it. Qantas J class means you have to climb over the aisle seat passenger which may be awkward due...

    Linking QF Dom and JQ Intl Bookings

    I think that you are optimistic. Jetstar does not not even link their flights. You have to recheck in at every stop. I flew star class max from coolongatta to Singapore vvia Tullamarine as this is the only way Jetstar flies. I had to collect my luggage in Melbourne and recheck in for flight to...

    Has any QFF's switched over to Virgin, or may?

    Virgin has still to change their inflight service mentality to get business passengers. The Flight attendants spend almost all the time in the air being sales people. when an airline charges you for a glass of water, that is beyond a joke. Spend more time doing the job you are trainede for and...

    QFF Ideas & Suggestions

    I would like to see improvement in the transport of WP, Gold, business and first class flyers transported in a more humane way than in the cattle trucks that are being used at the moment. Qantas is showing that it does not care for its premium passengers or WP. The buses are always packed to...

    What else is burning members about recent "enhancements" to QFF?

    re: What else is burning members about recent "enhancements" to QFF? I am intererested to see people wanting to change to DJ when you are treated as a cash cow on board. You cannot even get water without havine to pay for it. The visual entertainment has to be paid for, check in luggage to be...

    Is Qantas diluting the benefits of status?

    I have requested forward window on my flight request and have usually been allocated on the 737 planes row 5 when row 4 is not occupied. It seems that row 4 is given to non frequent flyers or people with a lower status than platinum. When I ask why, I am told it was the quirk of the computer...

    Standard of lounge in KLIA

    I have been fortunate or unfortunate to use the lounge at Kuala Lumpur International Airport. The standard of the lounge leaves a lot of improvements required. The lounges are run by a 3rd party and the amenities are not up to standard. People entering the lounges with Platinum, credit cards...

    Jetstar starclass

    On booking a flight BNE/KUL return in starclass which is equivalent to Business Class in Qantas, I find that I am classified as Economy class from BNE/SYD and vice versa. Nowhere on the internet booking form did it say that the connecting flight would be in economy class.Has anyone had this...

    Ok, so why does everyone continue to bag Qantas?

    I am reasonably happy with qantas but the standard of service on board seems to be slipping. You would expect some recognition in business class. I used to remember when a stewardess would be at the partition after landing to allow business class passengers to disembark first but this no longer...
