:p However – The lounge has basically been operating as a JQ lounge for quite a while. [Food service has also been reduced.] Remember, there are only 2 "Qantas metal" services a day from OOL, but the QP doors have been kept open, and additional staff rostered, for over 9 hours after the...

OK... this is annoying, as TT is the only major domestic jet airline that won't let me wheel my bag on board AND have a personal item. So I am forced to check the damn bag. Plus, I can not find a way to come in under 7kg... just not gonna happen. JQ I can do at 10kg. At QF, even though they...

The phone number for a local taxi, anywhere is Australia is - 131 008 Anyway, if in Sydney, this will direct you to Taxis Combined. There are many other companies though. (Silver Service, part of Taxis Combined, is one worthy of note. Same price as the regulars, but with - better cars, staff...

Jetstar better keep its damn QP operational at OOL... otherwise DJ better start building a the Lounge! Actually, both please!

My experiences don’t mirror these. For example, this month, I’ve had two issues. A "mechanical" somewhere on the network, resulted in a delay on a flight I had already checked-in for. I went up to the gate agent, who without hesitation and before I asked anything, said “I can get you a seat on...

I guess a business uses Brand & Loyalty marketing techniques to diminish the impact price has on customer purchase decisions. [I find Qantas’ approach interesting; because it uses these two (relatively cheaper) tools, more than Product (quality) Differentiation, to generate higher margins.]...

Just a note, [for the sake of anyone doing a search in the future, and ending up at this thread]. You DO NEED an approved photoID, which WILL be checked at both ends of the journey (on a domestic segment only international flight) by federal authorities. Unlike purely domestic, where there are...

From JQ email today - "It's coming up to the end of the Financial Year and we would like to thank you for being a JetMail member with a very special offer..." $25 Get a $25 Jetstar flight voucher! $50 Get a $50 Jetstar flight voucher! $100 Get a $100 Jetstar flight voucher! "Make sure you...

10.7kg at PER T1; no problems. At MEL T2 are the scales only if you turn right (at the entrance to the restricted area)? I generally turn left and, like maninblack, carry-ons haven't ever been weighed there.

I don’t think "forgetting" is an issue, as the printer will actually stop, and prompt the agent to enter the correctly coloured boarding pass. I only know this, as once when flying SYD-BNE to connect to an International flight, I managed to hold up the check-in queue for 5 minutes, while the...

Other than Qantas marketing spin, I am quite interested to know what a "proper full service airline" is, in your own mind?

Yes. But I do JQ-OLCI so rarely (only when in a situation similar to yourself) that I don't have enough experience to make a guess as to what variables might cause it to happen. Actually, I just tried to OLCI for a weekend flight & it found the details quickly, and it offered to check me...

I was on a DJ E170 last month, no issues, actually an impressive little aircraft. And having recently got off a QF Q400, I have come to the realisation that Virgin Blue's new aircraft is in a league so far ahead of Qantas' when it comes to comfort!

So two issues – · Getting the Boarding Pass (JQ domestic human-assisted-check-in options, don’t issue “card style” boarding passes anymore. And, having a “different” style of boarding pass, at an International Gate may upset their process? Unless things have changed recently. JQ seems to be the...

East meets West, with 2008's version of Ansett - picture taken from the former Golden Whinge in Melbourne a few days ago!

When an airline adds a new aircraft type to its fleet, there is normally a load of fanfare and hype celebrating its introduction. So, after the massive Jetstar schedule change of a few months ago (I remember the day I received more emails from JQ than SPAM in my inbox, LOL) moved one of my...

Unfortunately I can't respond to your poll... For me, "yes" (air travel) Loyalty Programs have an influence, "but" so to do price, convenience & comfort. (The proportions of which, are variable in every decision.)

As per odoherty, except to add - there is a luggage storage facility (fees payable) in the (landside) arrivals area of the International Terminal, on the Qantas domestic side. [T2 Ground Floor, near walkway to T1] Not into MEL T1. As a "general rule" you don't need a boarding pass to go through...

While it does sound like a weird story, and the article only delivers one side of it, it must be noted that the "passenger" was travelling on some sort of staff discount. And as far as I am concerned, people travelling on those sort of heavily discounted tickets should expect to be treated...

...and Air Pacific was about to join One World. Qantas Group has a core two brand strategy, (and would want to focus investment capital in that direction) Pacific destinations (beyond NZ & HNL) are surely on the radar for Jetstar and I doubt that the other owners of Air Pacific, would want to...
