Pretty much in the same situation, I travel every 5 weeks in whY on low bucket fares (seamans tickets). Majority of flights are over 10 hours.. I envy those who are in the position to get J class. I know of 2 situations where people in my company developed deep vein thrombosis.. Mixing a medical...

Interesting, I didn't get an email but I can also see that my fare in Y is now upgradeable. Unfortunately not enough points, they are asking for 140,000 to upgrade Y>J on SYD>EZE for 2 people.

Who would win in a dogfight - a A380 or 747-400? - assuming each had some type of machine gun mounted on it.

I travel frequently, looking for a suitcase to replace my mandarin duck one. The stiching went on that one because I picked it up with the end handle. Most people seem to say Samsonite is a good choice, not sure whether to get a soft case or hard case.. As for the models, not to sure what the...

I have a booking with a domestic Qantas flight followed by an international flight to South America on Qantas. Am I allowed to use the international baggage allowance on the first domestic flight?? Or do I have to abide by the domestic leg limit, which would make the international limit a bit...

Thanks for the answers JB. What do you think is the most important issue facing the airline industry today - is it safety and lack of training? Do you have much communication with the engineers who work on the planes and how much trust is there to ensure you get delivered a plane in good...

I have a question regarding captains on domestic/international legs. Is it up to the pilot if they want to fly domestic vs international? I understand they would need training in different aircraft - just wondering if there is a quality/experience/pay difference between domestic captains and...

- don't fly in economy! - don't fly in economy! But really, I am trying my best to change my mentality when it comes to flying so all my long haul flights in whY are less painful - they are a part of my job. I have started trying to find turbulence relaxing, when I see clouds I start listening...

Thanks, Qantas ended up changing the plane about 1 week before so my seat choice of row 69 turned into a 3/4/3 row instead of 2/4/2 like the one shown. My return flight to EZE is still showing the new 3 class config starting with 2 pair seats at row 69, fingers crossed they don't change it again...

What system do you use to calculate altitude? My background is surveying so I am interested to know if you use GPS, and if so which system, geoid and processing method etc. I would also like to give a thumbs up to the Qantas pilots I had when I flew EZE>SYD on Wednesday. The first officer told...

Thanks a lot for the info, very much appreciated. I did end up paying the $20 to select each of our seats, unfortunately for me the flight map EZE>SYD was showing row 69 as the first of the 2 pair seats, instead of 70 so I selected them to be as far away from the toilet as possible. Yesterday I...

Hi serfty, yes all the flights are on one booking. I'm kind of regretting not getting an upgradeable Y fare for my EZE>SYD return flights, unfortunately though it was going to set me back over $6000 total if I wanted a Y fare bucket which could be upgraded with points.

Thanks for all the replies, seems like it is not really worth it. My other flight is at 6:45am MEL>SYD on a 767-300/300ER , I wonder if that is a better option?

I am taking my partner from Argentina to Melbourne and I have a connecting flight out of Sydney to Melbourne on QF 489, at 20:30 in the evening - quoted as a 737-400. These flights are all booked in economy, we have a 2 hour layover, which may mean only 1 hour after dealing with customs etc in...

Can someone please check the loadings in Y for QF018 EZE>SYD on March 7th. Thanks

I am in a difficult situation with regards to accumulating points. I travel every 5 weeks overseas out of Buenos Aires, on a variety of airlines. The problem is I usually never end up on the same airline or even frequent flyer affiliation for any extended period of time so I end up with a lot of...

Thanks serfty, can you confirm if these planes have personal IFE or AVOD? Appreciate the help, looks like I will stick with row 69.

Can someone please tell me the config on the following flights.. I had a look on seat guru and can't find any match because it seems like 69 is where the paired seats start instead of the usual 70. Just trying to find some good seats for me and my partner. Unfortunately no status. At the moment...

I think that is a good idea if you can't afford to miss that flight out of SCL the next day... Most likely the flight out of EZE at 6pm will be delayed, however it shouldn't get cancelled unless weather is a problem. It depends what options you have the following morning out of EZE/AEP, if it...

That would be the best course of action if management took a firm stance and decided to actually take responsibly to ensure pilots were properly trained before getting in the coughpit. Unfortunately from what you have told me this isn't the case for quite a few airlines. I'm quite ignorant about...
