The seats fold down (like the old SQ business class seats). It's not an ideal product, and no it's not for everyone. A bit like the finnair seat that doesn't recline at all. The benefit here is the same as Euro Business. QF can fly a short domestic leg with 24 business recliner seats and then...

This post could go here or the A321XLR thread, but couldn't find that one so posting here. I came across a business class called the Butterfly Single-Aisle. Effectively it's two recliner business class seats that can be converted into a single lieflat suite. It's quite an interesting concept...

Yea I saw that. One wine subscription gives PC after a year. Two subscriptions PCP plus an RTW award in J. It's a lot of wine, but the value for money is interesting.

Thanks. Seems like an interesting way to boost up to PC or PCP whilst buying points for "cheap". Hmm.

Somewhat stupid question, but does Qantas Wine count towards the "Qantas Points earned 'on the ground' (e.g. from credit cards, car hire and insurance)" category? Would assume so but can't find anything definitive.

They were switched off (nothing on the screens) with a temporary sign (laminated) saying out of order. Make of that what you will...

Perth was similar a couple of weeks ago, and it was sporadic which ones were "broken". Sounds like putting off maintenance has caught up with QF (Again).

I just think they should replace the classic rewards system with a more generous points plus play system, with the points being a fixed ratio for distance still. If the fare bucket is still available for sale then you can still book it with points (and you get the fare conditions of what you...

More likely version of events: Qantas backend software is old and cooked (aka cheap) and in 5 years time the accounts team will eventually realise you got charged twice by mistake. Just let Amex deal with it, can guarantee you the level entry phone rep only sees one charge (and has no agency to...

I quote the investor pack "The Group has today announced a firm order for 24 widebody aircraft, consisting of 12 Boeing 787s and 12 Airbus A350s. With deliveries starting in FY27 and continuing into the next decade, these aircraft will replace the bulk of the current A330 fleet" Nothing here...

The extra are A350s are a nice surprise. Thought it might've been 10 B787-10s if at all. With those in mind, I think it's likely the B787-9s get a refurb to go 30J/21W/211Y (removing the 2nd J cabin, removing one row of W and backfilling with more Y). B787-10 to go for 36J/21W and the...

My gut feel is that SYD/MEL-PER/NZ will be a 50/50 ratio of Domestic A321s and International A321s for a mix of capacity and lie-flat seats. We may see those international A321s marketed as First/Business/Economy in order to minimise confusion between a Domestic A321 with Business Class recliner...

Until they realised they'd miscalculated it 😅

Current QF 787-9 is 42/28/166 United in their 787-10 are 44/21/253, but their J is quite dense and that config is not premium dense enough for QF. Based of SQ, 36 J fits within the same space of uniteds 44. In a QF config, I could see the 787-10 seating 48/35/199 which is +6J, +7W and +33Y...

Thanks for that. Flying into Singapore most likely so avoid the A320/A321 and get the B787. Will look into the extra legroom seats when it comes time to book.

20kg is more than enough. That's what I figured from the website but it's not as clear as I'd like it to be. Cheers for that.

Very newbie question. Anyone here booked a classic economy reward on a JQ international flight? What's included and what's not. Not too fussed, but would prefer to not have to shell out for 20kg of bags.

Finnair crews their Asian flights with crews from Asia. This is that same crew being used for the wetlease. Just because the unions misinterpreted what it meant for the crew to be from finnair is their problem.

AY will need to transition staff numbers down if they are to lose two aircraft for a long while. This gives them 5 years to slow down hiring to replace people who leave. There is an aircraft shortage, the union needs to stand down and be happy that QF can get their hands on something quickly

This is it. Your best bet is being proactive once airport/ops has taken control of the booking. Either at the departing airport or at DXB on the connection. Before this, QF is the T/A and has control of the booking, and they won't put you in a revenue seat on another airline just because you...
