How many times have we either posted the same observation or read it here and elsewhere? Lamentable is just one word I could use. And after all these years QF still thinks it has the unquestionable right to gouge the flying public on overseas routes. 19% of o/s traffic is the result and they...

I have had a hobby for some time now collecting sick bags from different airlines. My favourites are from the now fortunately defunct CAAC. The printing on the front just says "Clean Bag".

This week everyone in my building received a printed letter from a twerp whinging about another twerp in the building ahead of the AGM. The printed letter obviously went through a word program of some sort which would have raised the alarm bells every time each word ending in an 's' was...

If you are intent on flying QF there is the option of a stopover in HKG if you fly via MEL. A creative travel agent could be able to wangle it for you. Other options can be found here. Check Cathay Pacific and Finnair for points and status credits. Frequent Flyer - Earning Points - Fly -...

I have felt the same for a number of years. If I fly OW airlines I make four quick trips to SYD to keep QF membership levels. Then to Europe I usually fly Finnair, firstly flying Cathay to HKG. Both are excellent airlines however business class is my only experience with them. The cool...

TT customers along with customers of all airlines pay for a seat, hopefully comfortable, on a safe plane with an experienced and able crew This is minimum. Arrival of luggage on the same flight works too. If TT was unable or unwilling to be able to the expectations of those who travel it's...

I also recently took my first JQ flight and preferred it to QF in Y class. FAs were welcoming and pleasant and a model for QF FAs. I was quite pleasantly surprised. Seating in Y is always cough, no matter which airline. Heaps of riffraff in business lounges and cabins I've travelled in over...

Be thankful that this is the only industrial action visible or audible to pax. To anyone who complains perhaps you'd prefer pilots to strike and ruin your day.

The ACCC has been a toothless tiger looking to have its tummy rubbed for some time now. Oil companies are getting away with widely varying pricing each week. Don't forget that QF along with BA I think it was, were fined for conspiring to fix air cargo rates. The fine was $20 million. Who...

I've been wondering myself about this very subject. I quite like the MH product in J international and a cheapy Y domestic MH flight. The service is excellent, planes newish, food good, IFE OK and with a bit of shopping around thousands can be cut off the QF price to Europe by flying MH. I've...

Sheesh I haven't heard anyone complaining about TT in weeks.

Perhaps it's meant as a fore warning on what JQ and its Asian operations will be doing to QF as we knew it after the big announcement in August. There will be a JQ buzzard circling to pick at the remains of what QF management doesn't want.

I agree totally. T-mobile for the U.S. is the best value I found and it worked everywhere.

Unfortunately I think you are right there. The QF board has outsourced its CEO and it appears to want to outsource QF's operations and keep it as an Australian brand possibly flying a few routes. AJ seems to forget he was working for Jet*, left, and should now be looking after the interests...

I find it quite acceptable that a pilot let his pax know of the industrial dispute and the reasons why. If AJ has his way you may not hear an Australian accent from the coughpit any time soon. Or would those against this option that the pilots have decided to carry out prefer that the pilots...

I found Travelsim a huge ripoff. You pay $50 at Australia Post. Why? All calls are via Estonia and calls to and from a Travelsim card are expensive. Check it. There are much better options around. I used it once only to receive an email from their customer care saying their database of...

I agree with the above. OZ is one very good airline with excellent service both on the ground and in the air, food, IFE, modern aircraft and seats. Their frequent flyer scheme is certainly worth looking at and quite generous in time allowed to accumulate status. I've joined with them but my...

Net takes it's toll on Qantas travel centres | Herald Sun Excuse the spelling in the headline, but even News Ltd can occasionally do better. Sad to see these centres close as they can be useful at times for those that live in capital cities. Another sign of cost cutting and QF moving...
