QF43. Spot the difference. Service was a lot faster this time thankfully, maybe because it's a shorter route? Beef was quite a bit more overcooked. I'm now pretty sure the service order has changed on international J. FA's just go from row 1 downwards taking orders now. I know some people...

It's a GIF where the globe spins. The pointer never reaches Australia though.

Apparently I used 900k points this year. Funny that, given my starting balance and my earn would be less then that number. I think the system counts points usage in the number even if you subsequently cancelled the award booking, or if you made a change to an award booking and the points were...

International long haul sorry. Domestic has always been row 1 to 3, yes.

Has the order which the meal orders are taken changed with this service as well? I've recalled for ages that the FA's would dance around the cabin taking orders, I believe based on status or maybe PCV? It seemed more like row by row from my last two flights. I also didn't receive a CSM greeting...

Realistically, what is the difference between current J and PE products and a '2014 standard' one. There hasn't been much significant improvement recently, once the standard of Business Class reached direct aisle access. J has a door, but it's standing neck height only. Bigger, 4K HD screen and...

Got an email two days after.

Made LTG on my flight to Dallas. Though QFF didn't post the SC's for it until a couple of days later, meaning the connecting flight posted first which pushed me over. So maybe it was an AA flight that got me there? No emails, no notification on the app/website for me at all. If I hadn't been...

Alright QF7 had this change in place. Did not feel any faster at all. In fact you're still waiting over 30 mins after the entree is provided for the next step in the service. I can see how the tray might speed things up in the beginning and put less strain on the cabin crew, but so far it...

Red curry beef and rice. Quite tasty actually. Certainly better then the beef curry at modern Asian restaurant I was at last week.

These long routes are probably the least in need of a shortened service. I do quite like the current trayless service though. Despite the length of time needed to serve the dishes, it feels more restaurant-like then other carriers in J. If I'm visualising this correctly, I'm thinking Neils...

I got it too. I've been holding off going to Bangalore because of the perceived flying experience. Old A332 in un-refurbed Y and small IFE screen for 12 hours isn't my idea of pleasant.

I don't mind the A332's in J, with the only gripe being the single lavatory. I had one once to Perth where that lavatory was un-serviceable, resulting in a long walk to the back of the plane for the toilet. *horror*.

I've had no issues accessing the QR SIN lounge with a QF2 BP originating from SIN. Guessing the QR system must check that the origin airport is the current city and doesn't cater for a single flight number with a mid point stopover.

I've definitely seen people's boarding passes being rejected by the gate scanner for not being in the current group that's been called. Is that system not in place in Canberra?

Saw the same Penfolds Cuvée Brut and Rosé in Syd dom J last Monday. Think it's part of a promotion?

I'm interested to see how this works in practice. A Disney+ 4K stream is 25mbps, and viasat advertises 100mbps bursts on their KA band satellites. So that's 4 people streaming 4K content? Cathay's approach is to load certain Disney+ content onto their IFE server directly.

The Qantas seat map PDF lists 10 A332's that currently don't have seatback IFE in Y. Could it be limited to those? But then those are the ones with the single toilet in J *shudder*. VH-EBA VH-EBB VH-EBC VH-EBD VH-EBE VH-EBF VH-EBG VH-EBJ VH-EBK VH-EBL

Not too sure what the fuss is about having bluetooth audio to the IFE on a plane. I'm happy to plug my headphones in. After all, the seat isn't a portable device that moves with me. I can understand some people have AirPods or an equivalent that may not have a wire though. How much 4K content...

The competitors LTG requires 75% of the SC's to be earned flying their coded flights - which has a limited network compared to oneworld. QFF's LTG can be earned without even flying QF - quite a differentiator IMO.
