Re: Virgin Atlantic axing SYD to HKG Wouldn't it be ironic if VA partnered with CX. NZ did when they pulled out if HKG-LHR, so not out if the realms. VS seemed to offer good fares to HKG, hope this doesn't give CX and QF reason to lift fares. On another note, if you had no prior knowledge...

Let's see... Qantas and Cathay put their differences aside and form partnership maximising their Oneworld links. CX will support QF in making HKG a hub for onwards connection to Asia and parts of Europe, and Nth America for PER. In exchange QF drops Jetstar HK and cancels ties with China...

While, the general statement that running an airline is complex and not as simple as us armchair critics make it out I Respect. It goes downhill from there: How does the comparison of 'for every additional flight VA adds, QF will add 2' compare to the analogy of Woolworths shutting down stores.

Possible just got be creative, hope for a bit if luck on availability and be prepared to spend a lot if time in the air. Direct flights into BUE, are via, via JNB (usually via BKK) Via Europe (try FRA or MUC on LH,) Via NYC/IAH in USA, or YYZ Getting flights to BKK is relatively easy. I would...

If your body clock is still trapped on MEL/EST, then after dinner & movie have a good night sleep before arrival in DXB. Brekkie in lounge, If possible have a light snooze on the way to LHR.

While this might be the case, nothing in the OP's post can be used to conclude this, therefore unless the OP decides to respond then you can go by what he/she stated, which is an unfair judgement on someone's else's appearance and/or drink choice. That is prejudice and possibly ignorance in my...

How does the way someone else is dressed affect your enjoyment of the lounge (excluding extremes of being semi-naked). If it is the behaviour, eg wildly drunk, loud, swearing etc, then this has nothing to do with dress code. Plus a person in a suit or fancy dress drinking wine could be equally...

Just arrived in Melbourne for the tennis (from Sydney) this weekend. Part of me feels for the players who struggle in the extreme heat, but the majority of me thinks fair game, survival of the fittest and mentally tough.

If it's a single booking, then QF should be checking bags all the way through to MNL upon checkin at BNE I would expect. Yes technically it's not a same day connection, but you would hope the lounge dragon would be a bit of angelic sense and allow entry. What if the Connecting flight arrived...

+++1 for this bump. Was considering booking a one-way BKK-SYD classic award but then realised the stupid show credit card in BKK requirement.

Woohoo! Life without AFF on the run was not the same.

The days of no seat allocations were many years ago. Even if it was the case that their last flight was free for all, when booking and checking-in it is clearly obvious their is assigned seating. More likely case of selfish passenger. I would held my ground.

As per previous post, as both flights are operated by LAN, any questions should be directed to LAN, QF correct is not being able to confirm as ultimately non of this business. Having said that, there should be no issues to get baggage checked through.

The transpacific routes, both North America and South America is the only market where Qantas beats it foreign competition hands down on service and product, it can sustain a premium (not too much) price point relative to the likes of UA and LA. Plus no frequency issues like the Asian routed...

It would simplify process for the cabin crew, no more of the flexi fare complexity having to check the manfest etc. Oh article mentions, turkey and veges for Xmas day.

Is this industry standard. My initial reaction was why oh why is the the schedule not a same day turn around? For both this new JQ service as well as the QF SYD-NRT service. I guess 2.5 hours does not give the airline much of a buffer! Is the SYD-ICN OZ and KE service same day turnaround?

Getting the email direct from the individual employee email account could of been an error (a guess). Rather than sending from the team inbox, the staff member sent the email from their individual inbox.

Ultimately the hotel is a business, hence giving away a free night has been deed by them as not viable. The chain of events you experienced is poor and is deserving of a complaint. It would of been good service had the GM proactively offer an upgrade on next stay, however I'm not a fan of...
