    Don't Lie across Economy Seats to Sleep?!.

    Interesting that they are allowed to do this as an aeronautical engineer says it is too dangerous. https://www.traveller.com.au/traveller-letters-dont-lie-down-across-empty-economy-seats-warns-aeronautical-engineer-h21yay

    Double aircraft change - options?

    QF has been running Dash 8s on this service for several weeks. Waiting till the day before to tell you this and that they are now overbooked is hugely inconvenient for passengers and what travel arrangements had already been made.

    Best SYD airport hotel?

    I have stayed at Citadines a few times, comfortable and fairly quiet and worth the bit extra for a premium economy or business class room. Holiday inn express is also suitable, smaller rooms but included breakfast is very good including barista coffee. Pullman very comfortable and quiet but $$$.

    Qantas Red Planet

    Would have liked to complete that survey on my list as lots of experience there but unable to due to a 'configuration error' 🤨

    Where to transit?

    Agreed with the order. Also wouldn't be sorry for holding on ... in times past I would have felt guilty doing this even with refundable hotel stays but when it comes to the disproportionate rules that airlines had pre-covid and changes and cancellations with what they are asking of the...

    Article: Major Qantas Domestic Catering Problems

    Yeah I was surprised. I have been in MEL J about 8 times the last 2-3 months, though about half of them in the morning, and earlier experiences there were lines at the SB but the last couple not so much. That time they they had both bays running with beef pasta and kept bringing it out! I think...

    Article: Major Qantas Domestic Catering Problems

    My flight SYD-MEL last Thursday night had a lengthy delay and no catering for a dinner flight. No announcement on board other than to say "we will be serving a refreshment", no drinks offered and handed a packet of dry biscuits only and acted as if that is what is expected for economy...

    Article: Major Qantas Domestic Catering Problems

    In MEL J this afternoon and the Spice Bar was closed. An observation: a few weeks ago when I visited the lounge there was about two dozen noodle-topped-with-chicken bowls lined up so they could pour over the stock, garnish and serve but no one in line. There was a roaring trade at the beef...

    SIN lounge crawl 12 June 2022

    Apologies @JessicaTam and others as I am no longer attending as I've just had enough of the changes and cancellations and waiting-for-action-as-my-flight-is-no-longer-operating over the past several weeks from QF for both the SIN flights and connecting domestic on this itinerary. I just don't...

    Australian Reports of the Virus Spread

    I had to show the green tick at MEL to access the QF J lounge this very early am. Had to ask how to show the vax cert without checking in on the Vic app.

    Has Qantas lost your business due to its failure to provide customer service?

    I wish I could move to VA but as they don't service my city I don't have much choice. As 90% of my travel is transiting SYD to somewhere else and return I don't want the hassle of switching terminals and carriers so often. I still needed to fly as I wasn't entitled to an extension the first...

    Flybuys dashboard hangs when I click Redeem

    I experienced that on Wednesday. Tried two different browsers. Redeemed via the app instead.

    Qantas Call Centre Long Wait Times

    Me too, I didn't book any flights during the DSC offer last week as I didn't want to waste any more time with Qantas when flights and bookings are being changed constantly and I have to call to resolve taking 1-2 hours each time. I am currently in the process of cancelling a June flight with Qantas.

    Qantas to Remove Domestic Boarding Pass Printing from Kiosks

    A couple of weeks ago on entering the SYD J lounge whilst in transit I had the app open but it had refreshed since disembarking my prior flight and wouldn't load my trip and therefore no BP to scan for entry. I had no changes to my trip. I showed the entry staff the app with the loading icon and...

    Qantas extends status extensions until end June 2023 (previously December 2022)

    I haven't received the rollover yet after a week into my membership year. I retained WP a couple of months ago and so wasn't eligible for the extension but I believe I'm still eligible for rollover.

    Qantas Call Centre Long Wait Times

    Indeed, I didn't know whether to laugh or throw up reading this email. Seriously, do they really think people aren't using their website functionality and call because they want a human to talk to??!
