    Cut off for check-in not being honoured

    I once tried to do a QF > QF connection, with the first flight running significantly late. The second flight was due to leave 20 minutes before the first flight eventually landed. Thankfully, the second flight was delayed, and I made it to the (end of the) boarding queue. Qantas had moved me to...

    Going by the economy seat map, QF 41/42 (SYD > CGK) is often now being operated by a refurbed A330-200? Can anyone confirm?

    Shanghai transit for 4.5 hours [Ideas?]

    Re: Shanghai transit for 4.5 hours I've done a similar thing in the past, although didn't have to clear immigration and customs (arrived by car at the airport with 4 or 5 hours to kill). If you have to pick up your luggage, and then check in counters are open, you could always take your bags...

    The -300s do appear to have a Bassinet available for 1A and 1K, if you must!

    Ask The Pilot

    Leaving PVG last night, we sat just back from the gate with the engines running above idle and the brakes applied (plane was "wobbling" a bit, like when they run up the props to do an engine test). The FO announced over the PA that the re-fueller had put too much fuel in and they had to burn...

    Brisbane Business Lounge Access Question

    What may work for you, is to enter alone, head right at the desk into the Business lounge and get a seat. Then some minutes afterward, walk to the desk and stand on the side at the entrance, making sure to catch the Angel's eye (if they see you come from the business lounge, they likely wouldn't...

    QFd - QFi transfer at Syd (75 minutes)

    Thanks all, originating port is ADL, so I doubt they're well equipped with Expresspath cards (OPCs shouldn't be too much of an issue). My main concern is that if I miss the QF Int flight out, there aren't many options to get me where I need to be, the best being 90 minutes later, which would at...

    QFd - QFi transfer at Syd (75 minutes)

    Friends, I have an international trip booked through Qantas which has a transfer time in Syd of 1:15. Domestic flight is scheduled for arrival just after 8am on Sunday morning. This seems incredibly tight to transfer from Domestic to International? The flights are both on the same booking, so...

    Would like an opinion

    I'd say it depends on a few things such as how often you fly (and the likely split between airlines), what time you fly and where you fly to/from. For instance, if you usually get 6am flights, I find that lounge access isn't a huge benefit. Personally I'd be going for Gold in both FF programs...

    Sold me :D. Thanks for the advice, I'll try for the upgrade on the way home, use the CX lounge, and try my luck with the FLounge angels to try and get an empty Y row on the way over.

    The ULTIMATE Qantas Guide

    Hello friends, Didn't really think this warranted its own thread so will pop it in here. I'll by flying Syd > PVG (and back) in a few weeks on an a330. Does anyone have any recommendations for the best seat, flying solo? I'm WP but unfortunately flying Y. I was considering putting an upgrade...
