Chuck my vote in for Seattle, tonnes of work there! Lots of clients, tech. Good premium load for QF I’m sure.

Stayed at Le Meridien, lovely location and hotel but yes agree with others the beds are incredibly hard. I spoke to the manager, they are aware of it - it’s a known issue and you can order mattress toppers and housekeeping will come and put it on your bed for you…. Good tip I thought I would...

Seamless again out of SYD tonight. I actually thought there would be more teething problems but I think as many have already pointed out the computer doing the rejection makes it easier for staff to take on entitled corporates that ply the QF golden triangle!

Too big to fail…. So a few crashes now and then are tolerable especially if they aren’t in the US.

Good news for MEL airport users with MEL airport backing down on the type of train station, wants it now open when the new third runway opens. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-07-08/vic-melbourne-airport-rail-line-station-compromise/104069626

Reporting back on SYD experience. Again, huge improvement. Told the boarding gate agent and they agreed said it’s been great for them too. Made boarding much faster. I didn’t hang back to see if there were many ‘turn back of gate lice’, saw just one as I boarded but appeared to be a genuine...

Like many others I fall into the camp of ‘didn’t even know I was impacted’ as I wasn’t inconvenienced to the point of it even registering… I was rebooked onto flights minutes either side of the OG flights. Was travelling all through Covid and in the recovery phase heavily.

Another seamless experience out of MEL last night. It really has sped up boarding as well as giving premium pax a more reliable priority boarding experience. A couple of computer says no send backs of naughty ‘gate lice’ for amusement :) Flying out of SYD today will see how the rollout has...

Lots of news on this and then a seamless segue to the court case v the 737 MAX which is coming to a head right now!

Some pics from the first Hobart touchdown from Hobart Airports LI page:

As long as the point bonuses don’t match 😉

Private jet. Off you go!

Ah I really miss The Qantas Source website that was fantastic

OT I just have a feeling we are all going to be watching a 4 corners about that float and business at some point… something doesn’t smell right and it’s not their awful food 😉 On topic - it will be interesting to see how all the airlines including Virgin get through the winter domestic season...

Hopefully Jayne takes ‘Wonderful’ out in her handbag when she takes the one way walk off the plank ;)

First experience this AM out of MEL (travelling by myself). Worked very well, early AM flight so mostly corporates but was enforced and saw a couple of computer says no beeps that sent people back to wait!

Tax tax tax or lack thereof. So many of the companies I work with have huge ‘random’ manufacturing operations in Ireland as well, because of the ‘structuring advantages’ it provides. Even with large shipping and logistic costs it still works out cheaper.

Well one just got expelled… 😉

I’m not sure it will. Mainland Chinese air traffic is not high yielding, alot of Western business has exited or significantly downsized presence in China, moving to other cities in the region. That leaves rather the typically low yielding F&F and tourists not exactly QF’s target market. It is...

That’s all commercial news needs! Slam dunk 😂 Ouch. The Trans Tasman carnage continues.
