Which airline is immune to delays caused by weather ? QF flights to HKG will be similarly affected except it will not arise from fleet shortages or unserviceability.

Maybe another 50 SC's backdated to 31 August 2025.

As suggested above, I agree that it would be worthwhile contacting them directly. I have used their email option a couple of times with queries and they generally answer within a couple of hours. They do provide a telephone service contact as well. Have a look at the Contact page and after you...

The $500 "at the top" is the total value in A$'s of all funds you hold in various currencies. Whenever you add funds to any currency the amount "at the top" will increase to reflect the new A$ total value. Likewise it will decrease when you use funds via any means, including the debit card. The...

Solution - travel on CX or an airline (not QF) that has sufficient fleet to actually operate their timetable and be able to recover if anything goes unserviceable. Reading this thread should be enough to convince any one that QF are habitually unreliable.

If you were short by 10 cents when paying into the machine it would NOT say - don't worry about it !! They would have paid you far more attention and eventually removed an item so you had sufficient to pay. Funny how it would not work the other way !

I saw a quote recently that sadly summed it up: "It's 6pm and here is what we we want you to think / believe" tonight".

An interesting comment in the ABC (Australia) news on-line this morning regarding the BA mayday incident as SYD airport: A British Airways spokesman said passengers were entitled to apply for compensation due to the delays, under the airline's legal obligations. Not only are BA...

With "Choice" advocating continuously for reforms that actually benefit the affected passengers and address the real issues (and being basically ignored) rather then the superficial "minimum standards" the airlines (read QF) are prepared to agree to, any consultation now is just a "tick the box"...

If you want Starbucks, there is one in the Belmont Hotel building on the ground floor, on Newport Blvd. The Savoy Hotel is the opposite direction to the walk to the Newport city complex and casino (Newport World Resorts).

I usually do not have dessert but can cope with the set menu if there is no a-la-carte group when the numbers are finalised.

My flight was daylight HKG-SYD. No walk around with anything. I had to press the call button just to get a second glass of wine. It was a disappointing CX experience as far as the cabin crew went.

IME CX used to do the bread selection, including garlic bread on the walk around, but the meals I have had in CX J in the last couple of weeks saw the bread delivered already on the tray with the meal - solid cold pieces. Yuk.

@TravelingJ - If you want to go landside you will have to enter and leave the country via Immigration. That will mean you need to do the online Arrival/Departure forms. Visa free for 30 days for Australian passport holders. The casino mall (Resort World) is only five minutes walk after going...

@AFF Editor - please remove me from the maybe list for the dinner. I am unable to attend the dinner. MasterClass I confirm I am attending. Thanks.

I reported elsewhere that on a recent QF trans-tasman flight in J the CSM welcomed me with the usual comment about "anything we can do". Soon after takeoff (when everything had settled down) I asked for a specific drink from the bar and was told "drinks service will be provided with the meal". I...

Platinum for me, but not +1 who will be otherwise engaged that weekend. 06/03/26 SYD - WEL QF161 08/03/26 WEL - SYD QF164 Accommodation to be determined.

Free train and Metro transport in NSW on 31 July and 1 August 2025. Anyone travelling to or from the airport (or any other metropolitan destination) will be able to access the airport stations without cost for the two days, including without paying the hefty access fees that are normally...

"....... I had only said I would like to book for 4 when the woman said is that you drron? When we arrived one of the staff asked if we had a booking and the woman behind him said that is drron...." "Again great recognition from the staff and my first G&T and Mrsdrron's Sav Blanc appeared...

Two surveys today each saying they will take 10 minutes for 100 points. The reality was around 20 minutes on each for 100 points each. The time estimates are obviously becoming exaggerated because the point earn is so low that if they told the truth and said 20 minutes for 100 points, no one...
