    Qantas First Lounge in Singapore

    I was there before QF38 on Tuesday night. They had run out of sushi, 3 of the starters and the dessert, so slightly disappointing. Fingers crossed you have better luck.

    Qantas Delays/Cancellations

    It could be. I flew Syd-Lhr on QF2 back in April and instead of on arrival in Singapore the cabin crew saying return to the gate in 90 mins they said check with ground staff. When arriving in the lounge they informed us of a 3 hour delay to the SIN-LHR sector as they were holding the flight for...

    How an EU261 law might work in Australia - case study of QF1974 on 28 August '24

    A seat for £20 which comes with a bag to go under the seat in front. If you want a bag to go in the overhead bins another £20, a checked bag you ask, that'll be £30. The cheap airfare grabs the headline, but it's the add ons which drive the price up.

    Ask The Pilot

    What's the justification for allowing the full autoland even if there isn't CATIII. It seems like its shortcutting something?

    Qantas to move to new Perth Airport terminal, expand Perth hub

    Latest departure for Heathrow is 2300. Current legislation says that sydney airport will lose the morning shoulder curfew exemption, so no landings before 6am. Will need something to change here to make it work.

    Airport lounges with outdoor terraces

    This was actually quite a good lounge for a tiny airport (don't set your expectations too high). Lots of light, the outdoor deck with good views of the runway. However in December when its negative outside it was less appealing.

    Bumped off oversold flight as a WP

    Having seen from experience on these high frequency routes in Europe, the airlines will just organise cascading delays and delay 4 or 5 flights so that everyone is delayed and no compensation owed as opposed to delaying flight 1, and paying compensation to one flight and having the rest of the...

    Ask The Pilot

    I'm currently sitting in Boston and noticed this A220 with a hatch open at the back of the plane. Any ideas what the purpose of this is?

    Unable to select Stansted

    When your arriving off a long flight your not usually hanging around the airport anyways, get off the plane, go through immigration, collect bags and leave. Don't think the arrival airport matters too much. On departure a different story.

    If one person on a booking skips the return leg, is everyone else on the booking okay to proceed?

    Haven't done this with Qantas/AA, but on your European LCC's has never been a problem. Once got paged to the desk at the gate to ask if the additional person was coming, but no dramas.

    Madrid connecting flights

    Minimum connection time between Iberia flights at Madrid is 45 minutes (Schengen to Schengen), which you will be. You could get lucky and its next door, or it could be a little bit of a walk. There'll be no passport/security control. Iberia generally have about 4 flights a day to Porto, so if...

    Pretty sure the justification this time is that it helps repair the UK budget!

    Tips for overnighting between Gatwick and Heathrow?

    On the way over I'd definitely stay in central London. I'd look at somewhere around London Bridge. Taking the Elizabeth line & then a short tube connection it'll take about an hour from Heathrow. This puts you in the centre of the city, can have a walk to Tower Bridge, have a look through...

    Qantas LHR Checkin Time

    Does anyone know what time Qantas check-in opens at LHR? I'm flying QF2 and will likely arrive at the airport around 2ish. Will need to have a checked bag and would rather spend the time waiting in a lounge. Qantas says on their website "Airport check-in opens 4 hours before the first Qantas...

    Ask The Pilot

    I see that Etihad is now allowed to have their pilots fly both the A380 and A350 concurrently. Is this reasonable? Are the systems similar enough that they can do this with no issues, or is this a case of the company wanting increased flexibility and possibly compromising on safety/pilot...
