I'm assuming you're a QF shareholder. As noted QF has halved it's seats to the UK, that's not an airline looking to serve the market but one looking to maximise its profits and the rest of the Australian customer-base be damned. Point to point (sunrise) is a niche, high yielding opportunity in...

No, because you're likely to start/end your trip on a 737 if going on QF9/10. Though actually the problem with Sydney Airways is that you're likely to start/end your trip on a 737 quite often anyway.

But it isn't because it can be on but the cabin crew are allowed to go about their business.

And when it gets used for crowd control during meal times that also extends the unnecessary amount of "on" time.

Isn't the primary purpose of JVs for QF so that it can put its flight numbers on other carrier's planes, thus avoiding growing it's business, employing Australians or doing anything for the national interest. Where it does retain a route it has reduced competition for a more limited resource and...

Aside from the question of time of day, the 3 "options" - soup, salad, pizza, would together make an adequate meal. If you're after a snack one would be fine, but these are certainly not "meals" in isolation.

Possibly by design. As drivers often don't let buses pull out (which appears to be a road rule in Victoria), if they block the lane they don't get impeded from pulling out without an extended wait so can continue on their way with minimal delay.

Price. It's dirt cheap at the moment, or more charitably it is an in season fresh vegetables, locally grown etc. etc.

Mel-syd using the QF app or iView as there was something I'd been watching. When iview failed I tried QF, no better, no internet as it turned out. With no airline entertainment I simply expect the sales pitch to deliver what it claims. I don't think that's too much to ask.

My experience for domestic wifi is slow or non functional, which when it is the sole entertainment proposition is a fail in my book.

Exactly, so 83.3% didn't fly Qantas. My point was simply that the And 83% chose a brand other than QANTAS. Just saying, never really been "everyone" behind them.

Really? Only a small minority of Australians fly QFi, and realistically the duopoly domestically gives people little actual choice.

Why? They are over priced, under deliver, and have a reputation they need to change. They just admitted to various counts of wrong doing wrt their customers and service delivery. They need to earn any support they may hope for.

Perhaps not, but doesn't this acknowledgement by QANTAS and the the position of the ACCC already undermine the whole Bundle of Rights proposition. Both parties seem to agree that the commitment was for a particular flight, not just to get you from A to B at about the right time, or there would...

Thanks for all the suggestions. I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything in terms of OW options that might do late releases (for example). The points are there to be used hence the question, but I'm inclined to think it isn't an earning avenue to continue pursuing hence the looking for...

Yes. QF forum cos QF points. Starting from MEL.

Question for the brains trust... LTG (if it matters). I've got enough QF points for a CR to UK in J, but will pay cash. Not worried about earning QF points if a non OW option is "better". Happy to travel on near zero notice for about a week duration before end of July. What would be your...

Exactly. Life's much more fulfilling when not beholden to the flying circus.

Deep fried elastic bands, I don't understand the attraction.

I can't remember the chain now (Accor maybe?) but I had this issue in Auckland a number of times. After a "why didn't you tell us" moment at checkout one time, I subsequently had the stupidly thick Doona replaced with a thinner blanket automatically whenever I've stayed there subsequently.
