    Carry-on boarding etiquette

    Apart from the backpack thing, I have had PAX drop there bags out on exit and use my headrest to put their bag onto, while my head is still there and sticking a few inches up past the seat so using my head. The other one that frequently get's on my nerves is the PAX at the rear of the plane who...

    ABC 4 Corners on Qantas - Monday 5 September

    Lost baggage is one thing, items left on the plane is another. I left a kindle and a pair of glasses on the plane in July at Sydney. I realised when I went to get on my next flight through to Adelaide, walked down to the gate we arrived at and was told to cough off and talk to baggage services...

    ABC 4 Corners on Qantas - Monday 5 September

    To keep with the AFL analogy, Qantas is basically PAFC. Thinks they are great, thinks the coach is great and not willing to make a change just blame the players for not being motivated, match fit or whatever excuse kinkley comes up with on the day.

    Flybuys Survey posing Qantas Points Option

    I just did the survey, I said I was Gold with both so had identical questions for both. Said that I would only prefer Qantas IF they had a much better offering than they do now with Virgin AND it is better than Everyday Rewards.

    ABC 4 Corners on Qantas - Monday 5 September

    Typical union beat up story, I'm not saying the staff don't deserve better (and the outsourcing has gone way to far now), but it isn't going to make anyone who wasn't already aware or interested want to investigate more. It is not a coincidence this has aired a week before dnata employees...

    Has dynamic pricing arrived for QFF Awards?

    It would be the overnight stop over in Melbourne so you are actually paying for 2 x zone 3 not 1 x Zone 4. If you are Platinum might be worth a call to Hobart, of not then I doubt you are going to have any luck paying paying the Zone 4 rate via Mel. Same with the Brisbane search, it lands before...

    Using Virgin lounge after arrival

    I have used it a couple of times with checked baggage, just cruise in, grab a bite and a drink and then straight back out to collect my bags and they are still going around and around. Usually if you are towards the front of the plane you have a 15minute headstart other the end of the plane so...

    Switch from Qantas to Virgin

    I am now gold with VFF and Qantas and have almost gotten to platinum on VFF starting from 0 in the last 6months. My experience is that they both have strengths and weaknesses. Booking/Call centers etc. - Qantas website I find easier to navigate especially the app. Virgin on the app it takes you...

    I saw this a few days ago, hopefully this isn't a new and improved DSC offer.

    Qantas doesn't care about priority boarding

    Ex Mel Qf679 PB non existent because they didn't call boarding from the lounge until everyone else was on board. Got to the gate and thought it was an empty flight, nope it was just the handful that came from the lounge didn't make it until everyone else was seated. Annoying because every row up...

    I'm in the QF Lounge thread

    Pleasantly surprised with the Darwin Qantas lounge last night, open earlier than I expected (23:15), had some hot food (satay chicken and rice, some spring rolls etc. I'm the Melbourne lounge for a few hours this morning, found a quiet corner for a snooze.

    Darwin Qantas Pub

    I found the Darwin Airport departures list, only until Sunday for now but looks like QF to Melbourne at 1:15am (which is the flight I am on) is the first after around 6pm so I guess I will stay in the city at a pub until around midnight.

    Darwin Qantas Pub

    So I'll be leaving Darwin on the 1AMis flight on Wednesday morning, Qantas Club page says it is open from 1hr before first flight until the last flight of the day. Would this count as the first flight of Wednesday so open at midnight, or as last flight of day so will be open earlier?

    Qantas doesn't care about priority boarding

    Exactly. Do it like Virgin, the PB lane is for priority guests, you can join that lane anytime and whoever is in the lane just goes ahead of the other lane doesn't matter when they join the line. They can start the normal pax just hold them back when a new person joins the PB line.

    Call centres

    I recall having the live chat and SMS chat options on Qantas, I remember being in Sydney and messaging through while on a VC and then in the taxi to the airport to organise an earlier flight and it got sorted out over about 30mins without me being on the phone at all and responding pretty...

    Call centres

    The customer facing IT is a big one, even there low cost subsidiary has a live chat that actually works for most things and you don't have to sit on hold for hours to talk to it.
