    New premium economy versus old A380 premium economy

    QF A350 are not in service yet. They will be used for the ‘project sunrise’ flights. Possibly put on some earlier familiarisation flights first.

    Qatar denied extra capacity into Australia

    While I’d agree the other carriers also had something to lose with additional QR flights, they would have very well competed with Qantas on flights to LHR and to EU in general. QR are a oneworld partner (yes there is BA too but their product isn’t winning any awards) for someone who holds...

    New premium economy versus old A380 premium economy

    I’ve only traveled on the new Premium Economy seats so I can’t compare for you. I did however travel on VA 777 pe back when it existed, I believe they were the same seat. Which I do think the new QF PE seats are fantastic and fairly underrated. I think QF PE seats are very good and better than...

    Qantas A380 refurbishment news and updates

    Yeah I am pretty sure this is the last refurb the a380’s will have before they are put out to pasture. Shame because the first suits were hardly touched in the refurb.

    Hotel Management penny pinching with aircon motion sensors

    Agreed, almost all airlines set it too hot for me. Some are worst offenders than others. I’ve actually found Qantas one of the best for not overheating the cabin though. Even then I have seen on the screen the cabin crew set the temp at 24 degrees at sleep time.

    Hotel Management penny pinching with aircon motion sensors

    I had 2 stays at Hilton Garden Inn Singapore recently and they are a big offender of this. After 20 minutes without movement the aircon shuts off. Spending my stay on the top level was very unpleasant, returning to a very hot room and during sleep being woken up several times by how hot the room...

    Qantas A380 refurbishment news and updates

    I noticed there is a QF 201 SYD > SIN 02/12 and QF 331 SIN > SYD 04/12 a380 services. These appear to be once off, anyone know the purpose of them? This means there is 2 a380 services between Syd and sin on these days, which seems unusual.

    Strategy Connecting QF to QR on Separate Tickets

    For oneworld (or qantas) through check rules still allow different bookings if one is rev one is award. I know you aren’t checking any baggage but you should be able to check in for QR and receive boarding pass in Sydney. That way if flight delay etc it should be protected...

    New Qantas Business Amenity Kits?

    Just got off QF2 with this amenity kit. The bag quality isn’t as good as the 100th century ones but is the same as most other business amenity kit. The contents is pretty much exactly the same as the previous kits but no longer contains a pen. Which I found very annoying as I needed a pen for...

    Credit Card Offers Qantas Amex Ultimate Benefits & Offers

    Yeah the value of AMEX is really going down hill. Across all cards. Even the platinum charge is a shadow of what it once was. I get it, they don't make the money they use to due to interchange fees changes which use to pay for benefits but come on. I think they are taking the piss now. If they...
