    QF94 Business LAX-MEL A380 Trip Report

    Just wanted to provide a trip report from QF94/LAX to Melbourne 07/11 - A380 Business. The scheduled departure of 10.30pm gradually was pushed out to 1.30am, which was a pain, but nothing you could do about it. Spent the time initially at the AA Flagship First Lounge, that (if you want to...

    AFF Review: LATAM Boeing 787 Business Class (SCL-AKL)

    I avoid LATAM like Covid. They have a poor service culture - their catering never hits the mark and getting lit (yes having a few) is beyond a struggle. Don't spend your hard earned dollars/points on this d-list airline. I go via North America and connect for this one...

    Qantas Business Class meals & menus

    QF have been on the record that they won't do Martini's / Espresso Martini's / Negroni's etc or anything 'too heavy' on liquor in their lounges. A bit paternalistic but anyhow...

    Qantas Business Class meals & menus

    Why can't Qantas manage an entree or apetiser on a 14 hour flight? Seriously deficient. And that mid-flight menu is not particulary attractive in case you go to sleep on boarding... I thought they were going improve their inflight dining...

    Limited-time Velocity Frequent Flyer status match until 24/5/24

    Just what VA needs when they are investing zero dollars into their seven lounges and Sydney is already looking like a dogs breakfast everytime you go in there. Their lounge network can't sustain an influx of new members with out some capital investment into what they are offering. Any other VA...

    Qantas Business Class meals & menus

    Am I the only one who thinks this is really light on for a meal. A 2 hour (?) flight and all you get is soup and some bread. No side salad, no dessert. Terrible.

    Qantas A220 Flight Review/s

    So had my first Qantas A220 flight yesterday from Canberra to Melbourne. Here are a couple of observations: Pluses: *Great crew *Bar service (early afternoon flight) *Catering (biscuits and dip) *Personal space (in extra space seating) Negative: *Economy seat fabric like steel wool soap pads...

    Qantas A220 seating charge - is this a scam?

    Am travelling to Canberra to Melbourne Thursday and just went in (with just over 48 hours to go) to see if I could get a better seat on board the A220. I noticed this is now what Qantas are charging another $30 from row 4-9, A&C - are they serious.? Am Plat if that is worth anything....

    Qatar denied extra capacity into Australia

    God the endless bleating and Qantas bashing has hit new highs. And Jayne Hrdlicka saying fares would drop by 40% is just absurd, a nonesense - and can't be based on any fact/research. As Joyce said yesterday we already have open skies with the US and with American carriers having unfetted...

    Qatar denied extra capacity into Australia

    This thread isn't about China, its about Qatar, and Qatar Airways in particular. The CEO has been implicated in the murder of one of his own executive team, whose crime was to resign from his role at the airline. Enjoy your Q-Suite...

    Qatar denied extra capacity into Australia

    Comparing a government entity with a private one, like Qantas - and the expectation, though technically bankrupt during COVID they should have done the decent thing and kept operating - is just childish. Qantas is not a publicly owned carrier - its private and is answerable to its...

    Qatar denied extra capacity into Australia

    Righteo, that explains pretty much nothing.... But here is a little appetiser on the type of guy we are dealing with here...... https://time.com/5301466/qatar-air-ceo-says-woman-could-never-do-his-job/

    Qatar denied extra capacity into Australia

    There is plenty of choice and low-cost carriers flooding the market in Australia. There is not a lack of competition in Australia, and certainly people wouldn't be travelling with Qantas because they have to. Am heading to the US next month with SQ - choice is there - you just need to look...

    Qantas Domestic Lounges from 15/06/23 Guests Must be Travelling on Qantas/Partner Airline

    Thanks for the email address. Have just sent QF a note congratulating them on the move and encourage them to ignore the rent seekers out there who have been gaming the system. If your family and friends are so important to spend that time with you (in an airline lounge...) - buy a ticket for...

    Last day as VA Platinum

    Don't get too excited - Qantas are running a LOT of 737's to Perth these days. Have taken a lot of A330's off domestic to fly international...
