    Qantas Club - What price loyalty?

    As a broad concept, loyal customers who pay year after year without much thought are the customers that require the least effort to retain. Some would call them lazy customers who just pay. As a business if you had a limited retention budget where do you allocate those funds, to customers who...

    Qf8

    For Int SYD connections, QF8 definitely! But as others state allow enough connection time. If flights becomes QF-late, you can check flight status for BNE arrival, then ask QF to move you to domestic flight before you leave home.

    The best way to get MEL-USM next year

    No overnight flights in Y rule some options I can think of, such as my upcoming trip: MEL-KUL on EK (QF codeshare) dep 02:40am, then KUL-HKT on MH, and HKT-USM on PG. You could take the MH day time flight MH148 MEL-KUL, arriving approx 9pm, overnight in KL then connect to direct PG flight...

    QF to LHR via HKG now impossible

    Like it or not, you can see what QF are trying to do with DXB hub and EK tie up. Like many other comments already, very disappointed QF has not provided any options for those wanting to transit through the great transit city of HKG. I had though AY codeshares via HEL would be available but...

    Singapore QF/BA lounge new changes

    When you are traveling, particularly for leisure, access to a printer is limited. In these days digital or electronic records usually suffice, but sometimes you need paper. Qantas 1 little printer please, oh and a pc to that connects to the printer too.

    Home Insurer that accepts AMEX (Other than GIO)

    With Contents Insurance, good to review the limits on items such as jewellery, artwork, collections etc. if you require more cover than the policy limits you will need to list your items. Also decide if you want extra cover such as accidental damage cover, and cover for for your portable...

    Qantas press conference Monday - AJ

    Yes a dream that won't come true. Still rather than the A380 sitting idle all day at LHR, a quick shuttle over to JFK and back. There is no other A380 on this route right? On a more likely note, a talk about the success of the EK partnership 3 weeks in.

    Singapore QF/BA lounge new changes

    Love it, we should be so lucky! Back too topic. Credit where credit is due it seems Qantas has delivered a great lounge offering and dare I say it perhaps exceeded some of our very tough expectations. I say this as this is a J lounge access in a non hub (though some would argue it is a hub)...

    World's Most Beautiful airports

    Good to see Montevideo Carasco Airport mentioned. Was there in Jan this year and might impressed by the architectural design. Very open, spacious, modern but still charming. It's smallish so on a very different scale to mega ports like HKG, MAD etc.

    Article: Qantas banking on Asia strategy

    Good point about the EK codeshare flights, i didn't consider them. A day time flight ex-HKG or even ex-SIN would be nice offering more choice to suit all sorts.

    Article: Qantas banking on Asia strategy

    The statement about better timings into SIN and HKG are only partially true (IMO). Perhaps morning dept from Aust and afternoon arrival is good for most people. But to have all your flights bar QF5 in 4 cities arrive with the same hour, you are not providing any choice or flexibility. This prob...

    Why do they turn day into night?

    For daytime flights, shades up for me or st least partially up. The newer or refurbished planes have better/bigger screens that withstand glare a bit better. On some of the old ones I have no choice bug to put shades down to see a dam thing.

    Qantas SYD&MEL to SIN $510 ret ($410 through .br site)

    The cynical view is until they decide the route is unprofitable and cut back services. If you take what QF are saying on face value, they now have extra capacity into SIN and need to get bums on empty seats ASAP. I have shared the Expedia BR deal with a few friends who have now booked, and at...

    Airports you've never left! (Well... only transited through!)

    Only a few, where possible I try to make the most of transit points even if it is just a quick day visit to see the city. ORD LIM - must must do Peru one day! GRU DFW JNB

    Dividend Miles raises some redemption levels

    Good point, that's the risk we need to weigh up if banking up some USDM miles. But big sigh of relief, as thread title got me very worried, Pheew!
