I got the pop up the other day to "choose my gift" for re qualifying. It said nothing about getting a Green Tier leaf for declining a bag tag. Just told me that it'd be the more "sustainable choice".

I haven't traveled many Y+ cabins, but airbag seat belts are fairly common in J. You see them on CX, JAL, SQ. Even VA's 777 and A330's had them in "The Business". I'm aware it's some safety thing though don't know the specifics of it. The alternative being the three point belt, which is...

Not really any new information there. TLDR - content has always been limited on the 737's, recent updates to the UI made this more obvious as it lists additional content you can watch through the app. Reasoning is possibly due to storage constraints.

I know someone who has not actually earned 10k lifetime SC's but has suddenly made it to LTG with all SC's seemingly earned this year.

There's an article on Executive Traveler about this now. They keep (maybe on purpose) conflating the new bag tracking app function to the legacy tags with RFID. The two technologies are complementary - one lets you avoid the need to manually print out a paper/plastic bag tag and the other lets...

Feels like a step backwards. How is printing lots of paper/plastic tags at check in more sustainable then the re-usable RFID tags? I guess at the very least people won't question why the tags are placed on hand luggage and perhaps realise that the tags can be used as a means of visual...

I got the email about the time change for QF7 this morning. A little inconvenient as I now need to take an extra day off work, but I'm assuming the flight will still be running. The QF MMB website is very confused though - the email tells me to accept or change the new flight. However there's...

I've found lately that the QF app offers up a digital boarding pass for a dom connection as part of international itinerary, even if a physical boarding pass was issued. So I just use that and keep the physical pass in my bag.

Lost opportunity to say 'and our app doesn't decide you're someone random every time you log in'.

Looks like the text which tells you to select seats on a partner airline website has gone missing.

I wrote about this weird behaviour a while back when looking at QF9 on FR24. The explanation from Mattg was "SYD-OAG is QF2009. The callsign is shortened to Q-Link 9D (and is tracked as QLK9 - not to be confused with QFA9), which causes a bit of confusion with some of the websites." So in this...

I have this exact comb in my toiletry bag too. Can't remember exactly where it came from, Cathay Pacific maybe?

Qantas must have decided that Bonza was stealing all the negative press this week and wanted to do something about it.

I never said they were scheduled in my original post though, just that they were "intermittently replacing these services with QF metal A332's as QF81/QF82."

There was a QF82 on Saturday and Sunday in the last 7 days, as well as a QF81 on Sunday. What's interesting from FR24 is that QF291 on the 28th (Sunday) was assigned to be VH-EBR, and then the flight number changed to QF81.

They are intermittently replacing these services with QF metal A332's as QF81/QF82.

I just had this on MEL to SYD too. Was just missing the pasta salad. Guess it shows that Trans-Tasman catering is pretty much identical to domestic. Yes I thought it was rather dry, bland and the noodles overly hard. I reckon with some more flavourful sweet chilli and fish sauce it'd be decent...

I've had at least 3 - 5 small bottles of various things in my backpack during screening for years now and not a single airport has called me out on it. EG moisturiser, sunscreen, hand sanitiser in hotel sized tubes. This is across Australia/NZ, Asia, North America, Europe and Middle East...

Cancelled one online early this month when the mass release of classic rewards dropped. Points credited back almost instantly, and the money was refunded to my card within a day or two.

I thought music was only removed from domestic IFE. Doesn't the seatback IFE on international services have music?
