    Your rights when an aircraft is downgraded

    A couple of weeks back I got the dreaded flight at T-24 that my 13:30 A330 flight has been cancelled. Ended up on a 737 a couple of hours earlier but in Row 13 and a spare seat next to me which made a pleasant flight. I guess it’s easier when a flight is outright cancelled instead of changed as...

    What's a forgotten item a security has found in your bag?

    An old sports foam roller. Annoying but what can you do. The screener knew what it was straight away but that is life!

    Since when have QF stopped serving champagne in long haul Business?

    Considering their exclusive use agreements that are in place with the big 3, that is surprising isn’t it…

    Virgin to charge for Seat Selection - WP/SG Exempt

    First VA flight last weekend post pandemic, only Red status. Checked in online and picked 8D for no cost. All of the economy x seats had a charge attached. Arrived at the airport to find that I had been moved to 14C, so I guess the ~$70 charge for these seats on the PER runs may be a bit hit or...

    New controversial work travel policy

    Not unusual in a sporting environment. Been there done that (not the Olympics that is)

    Sydney Airport- A National Disgrace

    Related but not related. T2 was fun yesterday morning. Fire alarm system was going off for an extended period. No one batted an eyelid and by the way airport staff/security carried it it almost seems as if this is a regular occurrence.

    Qantas poor service with Delayed Flight missing connection

    Playing devils advocate here, would you have had a much better outcome if you arrived at the airport and allowed the UL staff to sort out a solution?

    SMH Traveller Letters: Cold shoulder

    There are no two minds about this, it screams of entitlement.

    Qantas mishap leaves customers stranded on tarmac for five hours

    Yeah no thanks to that. Back on topic, I was at OOL fairly recently and can recall the stairs being moved by a remote control. Certainly not manually pushed into place.

    Cathay A330 Configurations

    It has been a while since I’ve flown CX, but they were notorious for last minute equipment switches, especially on those shorter flights. That may have changed recently, but something to keep in mind.

    QF SC Query on JL Booking

    It literally says in the flight details the operating carrier (I.e BA)

    Jetstar-esque carry-on experience with Qantas

    I have certainly had my hand luggage weighed in at checkin and tagged as compliant at some international airlines previously. T1 at PER also used to have a security guard at the entrance to customs who’d weigh hand luggage and wouldn’t let you pass unless it met the airlines requirements. It...

    Traveling Business - directed to use Qantas Club at BNE Domestic

    It’s been mentioned previously on here the scanner will show up green regardless

    Oneworld Upgrades

    I’m not sure I’d bother wasting the time for something that clearly hasn’t been implemented yet.

    A summary of all Qantas Business Class seats

    It’s been a while since I’ve got that far up front, so I couldn’t tell you to be sure, but you may be right 🤷🏼‍♂️

    A summary of all Qantas Business Class seats

    That isn’t entirely correct. It is luck of the draw, and this is where The Qantas Source website used to be amazing. Please do note I haven’t seen the referenced table, however: The IFE screens are in the later 737’s (I.e the Recaro seats) The leather seats from memory are the old Jet Connect...

    Return flight without leaving the airport

    Aren’t there news articles every year suggesting that footy fans utilise routing like this to get to the big dance as it is cheaper than the domestic fares?

    Slightly odd crew SYD - PER

    It’s a bit hard to judge based off the third party information provided, however application (or non application) or RSA is always contentious

    Airfares from Singapore to east coast ... just wow (in a bad way)

    Start of school year? WA doesn’t start until tomorrow/Thursday, but not totally sure if there is anything else affecting prices
