    A380 Bulkhead Seat

    51C isn't a bulkhead seat, bulkhead is only 52 DEFG and 51 HJK The bassinet is 52 D,G 51 H on the seat map (its the ones blocked from booking) but from a YouTube video briefly showing the seat the bassinet is pretty much in front of 51J.

    A380 Bulkhead Seat

    Thank you for the input, I did end up moving to 51C (unfortunately is next to the galley) but I think I would prefer that then risk being stuck at the b-head with a baby arms length away for 24.5 hours. I searched the internet and these forums and found very little information on that area...

    A380 Bulkhead Seat

    Hi AFF, I have a flight coming up in Y on QF1 SYD > LHR on an a380. I booked it a while ago and selected 51K and didn't think too much about it. I just realised that I believe this is a bassinet row. I have questions, I am 180cm, will the wall have a good amount of leg room or uncomfortable...

    Qantas Upgrades - Successes or Failures (post results)

    Counting down the days to my flight QF 1 SYD > LHR 10/07. Status: Platinum Upgrade requested Y > J including Y+ I put the upgrade in immediately after booking in August/24, praying to the upgrade gods. But looking at these loads I think I am about to have my first SYD > LHR Y flight. If I...

    Airports absurdly close to the city

    Queenstown (ZQN) while not a major city, ZQN is very close to the city (town) centre and ski fields. Ive been able to have a day on the slopes and still make my afternoon flight without any issues. I feel like Singapore (SIN) needs a mention too, while the airport is pretty much as far as they...

    Jetstar Asia to shutdown on 31 July 2025

    Shame, I prefer to connect through SIN onto BKK or KUL. Can still go direct from SYD but the offering SYD > BKK or SYD > KUL not the same as SYD > SIN

    Qantas changes voucher - no online booking possible

    I worry if this is going to affect the fight club status of these vouchers. My plans are royally stuffed if they do. But also this comes at a very annoying time as I have flights to book shortly.

    US Global Entry Program for Australian citizens [from 2025]

    I want to do my EOA at JFK, my flight is scheduled to land at 10:30PM. The website says: Terminal Four West Wing, Area A Terminal Four East Wing, Area G 24 Hour Operation Is it really 24 hour operation, they will conduct the interview at 11:30PM? This would be ideal to do it as the rest of my...

    Qantas Sydney Domestic Business Lounge Escalator Refurbishment

    Went to enter the Qantas Sydney Domestic Business Lounge today and found both the escalator entrance and exit closed. All traffic is diverted through the Qantas Club Escalator for entry and exit. While the construction is away will need to allow an extra 1 minute to enter and exit to go around...

    Qantas Project Sunrise goes ahead, 12 new A350-1000s ordered

    I travel regularly on fairly tight schedules and always prefer the most direct option over a stop. I personally haven’t done PER > LHR as my home port is SYD and I prefer the a380 experience but I am looking forward to project sunrise. Having to be woken up/ disrupted mid journey for landing and...

    No alcohol for QF87 dinner service

    I’ve certainly had alcohol during the second meal service on this flight. I remember making a particular note to do so because it’s a rare double “dinner” (not breakfast) flight (compared to the usual breakfast/ dinner that most flights end up doing). Side note, it’s going to be a shame when...

    Fairer & Simpler Enhanced QFF Optus Plans effective 12 April 2024

    I am on this plan too. The unlimited roaming is really good and the only reason I am still on it. I do suspect they will do something about trying to get us off it/ increase the price soon enough.

    Sydney airport Baggage system outage

    Looks like the notice is still in the app today. Can someone who goes through today confirm if it is still down. Will be going through tomorrow and this will affect my flow forward plans (if activated).

    Baggage interline - separate PNRs - QF award flight on AA metal to QF award flight on QF metal

    A question I have failed to get an answer to all this time, is there any way to get an award ticket and a commercial ticket on the same PNR? All the wording from the airlines always say "just book it all on the one PNR" as if it is really easy. When to my knowledge this is impossible if trying...
