    QF B737 Replacement Competition

    I had no idea that Boeing didn't give QF 'market rates' for the B777. I always wondered why QF never ordered the B777 considering that QF was one of the customers who Boeing asked for design input.

    QF B737 Replacement Competition

    My thoughts too. I think they would be more comfortable for passengers. I think that the A320/321/NEO family of aircraft would be able to cover more routes whilst having parts/pilot commonality. I don't believe that the B737Max has the same range of product offerings. Given that pilots will now...

    QF B737 Replacement Competition

    Just finished reading this article - https://www.executivetraveller.com/news/airbus-a320neo-boeing-737-max-battle-for-billion-dollar-qantas-order It got me to thinking. I know that it comes down to price but what would us as customers like to see QF purchase? A320 or B737? I'm thinking that...

    You might be right but I'm unsure. If you are correct; I think that this is even worse!

    At RRP - Bottle of water - $3 Lindor ball - $1 Party sausage roll - $1 Party pie - $1 Cup of coffee/tea - $4 Total cost of catering = $10. And how much was the J ticket ???

    Worse than feet on bulkheads

    In addition to your point I note two other interesting things - 1. 2C has done a great job of balancing their iphone for viewing hands free 2. White sandshoes with black heal straps/backings??? What ever is this world coming to? Isn't it bad enough that we have COVID!

    Qantas closes all airport meeting rooms & some valet parking locations

    Shame. When my kids were younger I used the meeting room as a family room so as to contain the mayhem & noise. I didn't want others in the lounge to suffer :)

    McCarran Airport Airport Intruder

    Thanks Samh004. For some reason I thought the A380 wingtip would be in the same proportion as the B737 wingtip (which according to my incorrect theory) would be huge.

    McCarran Airport Airport Intruder

    No idea what this chap was thinking. https://www.news.com.au/travel/travel-updates/incidents/man-filmed-climbing-onto-vegas-plane-wing-before-flight-take-off/news-story/ddb3d542e92f0c63dcad5595f2bf1dbd However, it did teach me something. I always thought that wingtips were small whenever I was...

    Qantas to shut airport service desks, force customers onto self-service

    I have seen this so so so many times on internal USA flights. Makes me angry.

    The grand old days of air travel

    Did guys used to carry a heap of change back in those days? No wonder why guys wear belts :)

    Qantas to shut airport service desks, force customers onto self-service

    Why is it that QF can listed to 'customer feed-back' about wanting less people interaction and more IT interaction yet it doesn't listen to 'customer feed-back' about improved meals, queuing policies, etc? I doubt any customer has ever said, 'no please sack the customer service staff at the...

    Qantas to shut airport service desks, force customers onto self-service

    Bad move. Service desks are great when the weather or some other event throws a spanner in the works. How are you supposed to use a call centre for a flight change when the wait time has you on hold until after you are supposed to take off? Maybe its a move to cut more staff until flying...

    Qantas car or vehicle insurance, 20000 bonus points plus 1 point per $1 spent

    I could probably buy 5 million QF points with the money I saved by NOT using QF insurance.

    Picked up my new car on Saturday 10/10/2020. Its awesome fun!

    Qantas Business Class meals & menus

    Totally agree but its such a tray of disappointment at the moment.

    Qantas Business Class meals & menus

    Wow that's so sad for all the hundreds of dollars that you pay for J. Are you allowed to BYO on QF (because that seems like a much better option to me)?
