    Qantas DSC October 2024 Offer - book by 31/10/24 & fly 1/11/24-19/10/25

    While we're guessing, maybe not till October seeing they had two last year, if they have one. The once a year date might be moved permanently to October. That would throw some plans askew, myself included.

    Domestic flights from Melb/Syd international terminals

    Personal emergency requiring cancelling the trip. They can't prevent you from doing it, sure might search any luggage but they have bigger concerns than a domestic passenger deciding not to travel.

    Double Status Credits promotion (Book by 27/2/24, travel 28/2/24-14/2/25)

    Does that method work? I'm curious and may try it if so. If the booking was originally made outside the DSC period and you retain the same record locater when changing during the DSC period, would it be eligible given the booking was made outside that period? LIke the method of a placeholder...

    B717 rear slides

    Correction the scoop was on the DC-9, MD80 series. On 717, the inlet was on the left hand side of the fuselage just above the engine if looking at it side on.

    B717 rear slides

    In the general vicinity of the aft exit. I believe the APU exhaust is on the right hand side just below the badse of the fin in that photo, the inlet was a scoop device from the fuselage that deployed as required.

    Checking in procedure for a domestic leg then international flight

    At check in, tell them you're connecting to a QF flight on a separate booking , they will look it up or might ask you what the 'other' booking reference is and voila (hopefully) boarding passes and bags checked through. That's my experience.

    Oneworld Classic Flight Reward Discussion - The Definitive Thread

    I don't know if it's still the case, but a year or so ago you were asked to input the PNR before reaching an agent, supposedly to route complex bookings to 'more experienced' operators.

    Qantas staff skipping the line at the New UberX Rank at Sydney International

    If the designated crew lane at Immigration is busy with non crew, crew are entitled to go to the head of queue if need be. Whether that applies to the current Smartgates I don't know. I was part of the team conducting the pilot programs (there were several using different hardware/software)...

    Qantas staff skipping the line at the New UberX Rank at Sydney International

    Also a safety issue- after 12 hours plus on duty back of clock then driving to who knows where in Sydney, nodding off is a real possibility.

    Depends what you mean by reasonable doesn't it? I ( and partner)did Sydney - New York- Casablanca- Amman- Frankfurt-Tokyo- Sydney 18 months ago. Seemed reasonable to me.

    Qatar Airways to acquire 25% of Virgin Australia

    That isn't an indicator of further instruction. Most formal correspondence from agency to agency seniors are like that. Someone else writes it and the signatory adds the 'personal' touch is generally how it goes. It's effectively code saying they have actually read it.

    Qantas staff skipping the line at the New UberX Rank at Sydney International

    I was thinking more for staff than any QF FF thing, seeing the staff appeared to be queue jumping.
