The FJ lounge in Nadi is okay, but nothing to be too excited about. It has zero views and often gets pretty full because there are so many ways you can get access, including Priority Pass if I remember correctly. The food is overall a good buffet, drinks are on the cheap side. So overall I think...

While there are nice things about QF F such as the very comfortable bed, the "little things" you mention really make a difference and make the whole product look like cost-costing. Two other small things are that the chamapgne is luck-of-the-dice and that the menues are not available beforehand...

It is indeed possible to ask the FA if any dish is available - however I really think this should not be neccessary when flying in F. A generous menu that does not let you go hungry and offers a substantial snack available between the meals and clearly lists this as an option in the menu should...

I am WP, but even as a "premium customer" the service is unnecessarily hard. Recently I had to call four time for something that should have been resolved easily in the first call. So I think Qantas management, which is ultimately responsible for all the call centre operations no matter if the...

I think the whole purpose of the new app version is increased marketing (selling of all Qantas services) given the "Book and explore" section on the front screen instead of first showing upcomging flight details like in the old app version. It is a terrible app and I will use it as little as...

The new lounge will be a "combined" J and F lounge - so in reality a single large J lounge like in Hong Kong. This is why I am personally not at all a fan of this development - this will be another location without a F lounge and therefore a devaluation of the Platinum benefits.

As far as I am aware Qantas has removed all airport ticketing desks, including at SYD International. The only way to contact Qantas is really by phone (the best option in this difficult situation), via their online contact form and the social media channels.

No need to use the transfer desk as it is the same ticket (LH-issued with QF and SQ flights)

The opening time would not be an issue as I am arriving on QF 1 and would only use the lounge until the boarding of the LHR-bound QF 1. You are also wrong about the luggage and boarding pass as my luggage will be through-checked from Sydney to my final destination as it is all one ticket and QF...

Thank you @Volki but isn't the on arrival lounge access for WPs only for domestic?

I will be flying on a paid F ticket SYD-SIN on QF 1, connecting to a F ticket on Singapore Airlines the same day. Of course I will have SYD Qantas First Class Lounge access (and I think I could also use the Singapore Airlines lounge in SYD, but I am not interested in this) and I will have...

You are of course right under the current Qantas arrangements. However, I absolutely think we should ask Qantas why it does not want to offer the same thing that other airlines (such as BA and Virgin Atlantic) have been doing for years - guaranteed reward seats in every class on every flight...

That is the issue for me - I actually would not mind if crew gave a J drink to someone in Economy if it’s a honeymoon couple or someone else, but of course ONLY after serving all J customers!

This seems to be the go-to hotel for the All Blacks when they are in Tokyo - we stayed there during the Rugby World Cup 2019 and the All Blacks were there then as well - resulting also in limited upgrade opportunities as Hilton Diamond for us then.

Indeed this would give QF no reason to improve. After my last rather disappointing Trans-Tasman trip a few weeks ago I have cancelled my next trip with QF and will probably not book Trans-Tasman on QF again unless the service improves and gets much closer to the pre-Covid service.

I would not see a reason to claim this to my travel insurance if I have a ticket with an airline I expect the airline to transport me to my destination close to the booked time. Of course, there can be delays, but the airline has an obligation to arrange my transport. If neccessary, this...

I think it is rare for the Sydney-Dubai sector, but happens frequently on the Dubai-Europe routes.

I recommend going QR in the choice between QR and EK. Beside (in my view) better food/drinks on QR and similar seats on both, I would avoid EK simply for the risk of an aircraft swap to a 777 and its absolutely outdated Business Class.

Yes, all airlines have a significant amount of waste. On the other hand - should passengers not have a choice? No airline can ever know for sure how much food will be consumed on a flight, so as long as you want to offer every passenger food and drink you will always have waste, especially on...

I can well remember when Qantas was serving St Hugo as red wine in international J (about $45 a bottle nowadays). Today you have a lucky day if your wine in QF international J has a retail cost of half that. While food and drink is not the only consideration, the obvious cost cutting in this...
