    This doesn't surprise me - Qantas kick off The Veronicas

    I think it's quite common now in the era of smartphones and social media. There were a few other passengers on the same flight who sold video footage or stories to various media outlets. The stories all vary quite a bit though and contradict each other, so I imagine most of those people weren't...

    This doesn't surprise me - Qantas kick off The Veronicas

    I agree, but the cabin crew should also be trained to calm the situation and resolve it, rather than let it escalate. It sounds like they wanted to complain to the CSM about the other flight attendant, and somehow that escalated out of control. I've seen it on flights before, people get annoyed...

    This doesn't surprise me - Qantas kick off The Veronicas

    I'm 50/50 on whether they should have been evicted, seems like a bit of a waste of AFP resources and unfair to delay all the other passengers waiting for that to happen. Cabin Crew should have better training on how to de-escalate situations and resolve them without resorting to calling the...

    Comparing SC earn on the various routes between Australia and UK.

    I've been looking at which QF flights earn the most SC from the East Coast to UK/Europe. Connecting via Perth seems to be the winner. Came across a quirk with SYD-SIN-LHR, this earns 5 less SC in Business if you use QF81+ QF1 and not QF1 all the way. In all other classes the earn rates seem to...

    QF Double Status Credits - Book by Feb [Now] 25, Travel Feb 25-Aug 31, 2019

    I haven't yet received the DSC for a trip I took about 5 weeks ago. Previously the DSC have always credited a few days after the flight credits. I booked this one during the promo period, but it didn't ticket properly and my credit card wasn't charged. I had to call up and get them to...

    Domestic flight "Operated by Virgin Australia International"

    I notice on my booking that my domestic MEL-SYD flight is listed as operated by "Virgin Australia International". Would there be anything different from a normal domestic flight that I'd need to be aware of? From what I can tell it's still the standard 737 and departing from the Domestic...

    QF11 SYD-JFK via LA considered 1 or 2 segments (need to complete 2 eligible fights for FF Status)

    Seat selection is also a pain for this flight. You can't view or change your seats online.

    Difficulties accessing Qantas Club with e-passes - Rude Staff

    The inconsistency around entry process is what confuses me. Sometimes I am waved into the lounge with just a quick flash of my BP or QFF card. Sometimes I am asked to scan it at the counter, and wait for the computer to say OK. If I have a guest it's 50/50 on whether they ask to see/scan their...

    Qantas points upgrades on a two sector flight

    The only ones you can't do separately is when the flight number stays the same like QF1/2 and QF11/12.

    Qantas cancelling flights

    Things must have changed. Those quarter hour ones used to be more lightly loaded for some reason, and prime for cancellation / consolidation.

    What is a shadow ? (Qantas )

    As SG, I've had lounge staff tell me they've blocked the seat next to me, so it can be done. And that's without me directly asking for it, just casually asked how full the flight is and if there's any better seats available. Other times, the response to that question is "we're not allowed to...

    Qantas Platinum bring 2 family members into business lounge?

    Ah yes sorry I missed that it was International. Probably no chance unless you have a very nice lounge agent who bends the rules, but that's pretty rare with Qantas.
