    First refurbished 767 enters service end of the month [Oct '12]

    Just noticed that on the Qantas seap map PDF on the their website shows OGQ as a separate PDF. Was this like this before? The only difference, I can really spot, from the other OG series planes is the lack of a bassinet in Business class. I though I might be in with a chance to see the updated...

    Two Double SC offers in one year

    I couldn't help myself too. I booked a J flight from Melbourne to Darwin (via Brisbane) whilst they were on special too. $939 each way (so $1878 total) for 560 SC which works out at $3.35 per SC. This route in Y flexi-saver is only $410 each way for 140SC each way. That is $2.92 per SC. Bargain...

    Two Double SC offers in one year

    I received the email around 4pm WST and I have about 6 return flights booked up until mid November. 4 were work orientated and 2 are personal. Hopefully I can make the most of the offer after these flights. Hope that helps.

    717 refurb - goodbye to Row 1 being one of the best Y seats in QF

    Sorry I wasn't too clear. The thing is, the row 1 seats on the other side of the aisle can't really be moved forward anymore so I'm predicting that all the seats, either side of the aisle, will remain in alignment, even with a reduction in pitch. I doubt they would allow an offset left to right...

    717 refurb - goodbye to Row 1 being one of the best Y seats in QF

    I wonder - if they are increasing the capacity, how would they manage the two different config 717's they have now. Some have a third toilet at the front and still with good leg room (in 1A and B) but the planes without the front toilet have the huge legroom in 1A and 1B as mentioned by the OP...

    Perth Qantas lounge

    Unfortunately it is getting worse and I don't see any light at the end of the tunnel in the short term as the airport is going through a massive expansion where both Qantas and Virgin are moving over to the international side of the runway eventually. Perth airport will become a combined...

    Nuts to Qantas

    Haha - You're certainly right, wasn't what I was expecting. Had them last week on a domestic J flight. They are strong (for me anyway). Tried to like them but the're not my cup of tea. I'm normally a fan of Wasabi in small doses. Luckily they had some similar packets of Almonds without the...

    Is this a new charge by Qantas?

    I find that article another load of sensationalist beat-up cough. It has always been a lottery with seat selection if you are not a frequent flyer with priveldges with most airlines. Now there is the opportunity to do advance seat selection for a fee for those without the status. To me this is a...

    AA CEO says QANTAS is not a Premium Airline

    Cool just as I thought - more ACA/TT spin posted by a maskerading website.

    Good business seat selection - domestic A333, 767, and 747.

    Yep - I see your point now in that regard. Would certainly be good choice on a long-haul flight especially when flying over ocean where the window seat would be irrelevent to some degree. Cheers.

    Good business seat selection - domestic A333, 767, and 747.

    Just to update my own thread to help other decide on future travel. PER-MEL was a great flight on the A333. Chose the 1K seat at T80 with the front cabin full except for the seat next next me. Service was very good. MEL-SYD ended up being a 1x2x2 config jet and only half a dozen people in the...

    AA CEO says QANTAS is not a Premium Airline

    This AusBT site has TT and ACA sensationalism (and spin) written all over it plus the entire website is just a giant advertisement IMO anyway. Having a thorough read, a lot of the reviews are bogus especially the cabin reviews of various airlines. Takes a few press shots of the cabin and some...

    Good business seat selection - domestic A333, 767, and 747.

    Hi All, Just burning some points in a week or so and I am currently booked to go to Sydney from Perth via Melbourne and returning a few days later to Perth directly from Sydney. All flights are in Business and am wondering about good window seat choices from fellow travellers. I've used Seat...

    Arriving early for a flight

    Weird, there was no alcohol in the little Qanats lounge at KTA last night (Friday). And this has been the case for the last few months as the new handling company at the airport is still transferring the liquor license. Or that is what Qantas has told me. There has been some back-lash so what...

    Qantas Introduces New Domestic Fares and Further Frequent Flyer Enhancements

    Personally, I actually like the red-edeal upgrade changes. I thoroughly enjoy flying in the comfy seats (can't sleep on planes) when flying outsite of work so I've had a few JASA's through out the year but next month I'm doing PER-MEL return run on the A333. One fight is a 36000point JASA and...

    Wrong status showing up on QF boarding pass

    Rang the Platinum heldesk this afternoon, after being on hold for a whopping 20 seconds, the Qantas fellow on the other end knew exactly about this problem with seat selection and boarding pass status info. After a few minutes he had fixed up all of my upcoming bookings and assures me that my...

    Wrong status showing up on QF boarding pass

    I'm in the same boat - went to platinum a few weeks ago and my boarding passes still show gold, though most things are correct online. All my points are being credited correctly but there are still issues with advance seat selection thinking I'm still a gold member. I have a dozen or so flights...

    Qantas website

    I find the website generally pretty good. Quick-links in the FF section would be handy. As mentioned here, the horizontal menu is a pain on mobile device and a laptop. One thing that really annoys me when JASA searching on the award bookings page - is that everything has to be entered in the...
