    QF New Zealand aircraft use

    Switches to 737 later in the year (October?). Can't come soon enough (the e190 has no ife, limited bin space, lesser food and beverage).

    Slow Processing of Inbound PAX at SYD T1

    Some years ago I was arriving at AKL on an international flight when there was a fire in international baggage claim. We didn't need to evacuate but were held before immigration for several hours. Pax on later arriving flights were either held on the apron (once at capacity inside) or were not...

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    I seem to receive the boarding now notification from the qf app only after I'm onboard and boarding is or is nearly completed. Complete waste of something that could be useful.

    Qantas Trans Tasman Pretend IFE

    Yes about 50% 737 trans-Tasman have phantom ife, and 50% shorter selection list. Whereas bne-wlg (on e190) has no ife at all. Need to make sure your device is charged up as also no power source onboard available to pax.

    Article: New Zealand Replaces Paper Arrival Cards with Online Declaration

    Conversely can be slightly quicker with online or app at wlg arrival. There is usually an officer before baggage claim checking paper forms to identify pax who may need inspection of bags. Those with paper forms get asked lots of questions. Those with electronic (online or app) get waved through...

    Do the contents of the Business class Toiletry bags need to be in transparent bags for security?

    Normally yes for any liquids and gels, but not a problem in some countries (eg Singapore).

    Double Status Credits promotion (Book by 27/2/24, travel 28/2/24-14/2/25)

    My next QF trip, in a few weeks, plus DSC, will get me to LTP in under 20 years since joining QFF. Not bad given I fly a lot more non-one world airlines.
