    The Qantas Newbie Questions Thread

    If you are looking to use your lounge passes, you must be on a Qantas or Jetstar code. If you are flying a round the world ticket, in economy, if one of your flights is with Qantas, you can use a lounge pass before that flight, assuming Qantas operates its own lounge from the departure port...

    QF1864 - BNE to TSV - 12:00pm service on E190 Chicken thigh (below) or Smoked salmon salad were the options. Went the chicken. Overall fine. Chicken not dry and sauce was fine. My low expectations of the Broccoli weren't met.

    Every airline releases seats at different times, which is even worse in post covid world... If you wait til Asia to Australia options are open, you run the risk of their being less or no Europe to Asia options when you want them. If you go the JAL route, I'd suggest the JAL product to Sydney is...

    You can add flights to the booking later or book a seperate leg. Even if Qantas was releasing seats regularly, it may be too early for them anyway. Options may open up later - Manila, Jakarta, Seoul and Hong Kong are generally ok options. BA and EK from Singapore.

    My quick searching has shown some success with Manchester to Hong Kong (AF + EK), Helsinki to Japan (AY) and Frankfurt to Japan (JL). Can then then work on other options from there to get back to Aus.

    QFF Platinum requesting release of extra Classic Reward seats?

    So I read that slightly differently. Because the OP managed to get HKG-AKL flights, they needed to get flights from Australia to Asia. They requested these (BNE-NRT) and they were made available.

    Article: Reward Seat Release Patterns Have Changed Fundamentally

    Unfortunately, I'm yet to fully master the ability to understand what people are trying to articulate, outside of the words they have provided in writing.

    Article: Reward Seat Release Patterns Have Changed Fundamentally

    Why do you think they are "holding" reward seats? The most likely scenario is that they wanted to sell seats for cash, they haven't sold, and hence airlines to try and increase revenue by opening up unsold seats as rewards.

    Qantas Club Johannesburg

    So the relevant information in this situation is the information you've seen on the Qantas webpage. Qantas Club is not connected to Oneworld and access to the partner lounges, is determined through negotiations between Qantas and the lounge operator.

    💯 The bread and butter is one area of QF's dinning I wouldn't touch. 1718149854 Be careful what you wish for. They may start making their bread with ingredients in season... 😂

    The ham and cheese, with the Pepe Saya, did go in the bread for a Sandwich. I'm a simpleton. The bread was probably the best bread QF has ever given me.

    3 June 24 - 1705 - QF803 - SYD to CBR Always find it funny to get served a hot meal on such a short flight. Can be stressful trying to finish without scolding your tongue. Meal was a Chicken Curry. No other options. Was tasty enough, but it isn't going to win any awards. Would have taken...

    3 June 24 - 1410 - QF533 - BNE to SYD An unexpected A330 service (was a 737 yesterday when I checked in). Meal options were: Ploughman's Plate, Cauliflower Soup and the infamous Vegetarian pizza. As per last time, I choose the Ploughman's plate, which I enjoyed even more this time. Good...

    QF2 SIN-SYD 1Jun delayed 19 hours

    Though, it doesn't actually need to go to PER. If people were impacted in London, they may be rerouted onto QF2 and further passengers down the line bumped. I have no knowledge of what actually happened, just a possible supposition.

    QF9 / QF10 Perth

    Reality is, even if you loved Qantas and they delivered the same amazing service as Singapore or the ME carriers, at the same price, they could never serve all the European destinations. Project sunrise or not. Simple geography. There are people who keep looking back 30 years when the aviation...

    SQ321 LHR-SIN Encountered Severe Turbulence [At least 1 Fatality and 30 Injured]

    Reality is, something like this, is quickly out of the news cycle. It's not a whole jet going down or missing... As for people paying premiums only for failsafe airlines... It didn't stop them flying SQ before this, or Emirates, or JAL...
