    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)?

    Qantas considers moving SYD HQ interstate / Heavy maintenance away from BNE

    Maybe VB2 could move in and share office space, photocopiers, stationery etc :)

    What's the best travel upgrade you've received?

    One of the best upgrades that I received was after a stressful phone call. Was flying ADL-SYD-AKL in Y. Received a phone call late on the night before departure telling me that my ADL-SYD flight was cancelled and I was on the next flight. Explained about my connection and was told that the...

    What's the best travel upgrade you've received?

    Domestically, my family and I had an op-up from Y - J flying BNE - ADL which was very nice. The most suprising thing was that we were a group of six; thus on this particular B737, we received 6x op-up from Y - J (half of the J seats). I was totally blown away. Thanks QF.

    What's the best travel upgrade you've received?

    Best hotel upgrade was in Zanzibar. Booked a hotel/resort for me and Mrs FF for approx 1 week. Got to the hotel and the manager came out, provided us with cool towels and drinks and then said that he had to talk to us about our villa. For some reason there was no power at all so they were...

    What's your favourite 747 memory?

    Best B747 memory was with SQ flying Y from SIN - HKG. As a young 20 year old some 20 years ago, I asked a FA if I could do the landing in the coughpit. She asked the Captain and I was told no but I was welcome to visit the coughpit during the flight when the crew were ready. I gladly accepted. I...

    Qantas extends current status Until at least March 2021

    With QFi not flying for quite some time, I think that my status will fall back to LTG.

    Two QF A380s to be scrapped

    What are 'significant wiring issues' and what impact do they have? I'm assuming this doesn't affect safety?

    Two QF A380s to be scrapped

    Just a thought. With all these retired aircraft such as A380s, B747s will anyone be the first to buy a 'cheap' used one to turn into a private jet? IIRC there was a contract for a new A380 private jet but that fell through.
