    Qantas 787-9 flying PER-LAX non-stop

    Even in J (in fact even if there was F and I was the only one in it), both departure and arrival times are most unappealing.

    Virgin Australia changes to carry on baggage allowance effective 2 Feb 2026

    You're right, I missed that. Here's the screenshot from the 'updated' email I received at 7:54 pm (so I don't post in haste and muck up the text as I did initially). Even though it says fare type and membership level, the checked allowances here are only about the latter.

    QANTAS Cyber Incident

    Qantas Complimentary Lounge Pass Discussion

    Based on people’s reports it’s more likely it’s peak season and they restrict lounge pass use then, rather than your flying history or status.

    Melbourne Qantas First Lounge Closed most October 2025

    Agree, wonder if it's because (I guess) they don't have fryers there?

    Sending in positive feedback on FA's or airport staff to airlines

    I remember these admittedly very dated comments: https://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/community/threads/qn-for-737-regarding-staff-feedback.24390/post-341873 https://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/community/threads/qantas-excel-employee-recognition-program%E2%80%8F.47968/

    The Status Match Daisy Chain from Velocity to Delta to AA.

    That looks like next level working the system!

    The embarrassing, educational experience of getting "corrected" by a local

    I'm getting the sense at at least when it comes to French, they don't really appreciate our making a good-faith attempt or some token words? Which goes against my instinct of trying, as opposed to demanding and expecting every Earthling to speak English?

    Changes to how you use your $450 Travel Credit

    I've just gone in and now I can see a lot more options!! It's like calling in a tradie and not being able to replicate the problem when they're there... I swear everything else was the same... Thank you :) EDIT: Actually I lie, there was one change. Just now I selected one-way, and was able...

    Changes to how you use your $450 Travel Credit

    Trying to use my Ultimate QF credit between MEL/SYD and I only get one flight and time option, each way. Am I doing something wrong? I've tried clearing the appropriate filters and logging out and in again. Apologies if this has been asked and answered, I skimmed all pages of this thread and...

    Gifting baggage allowance

    IMHO I wouldn't want to encourage some I've seen to lug even more carry-on baggage as it becomes unwieldy and slows others down, plus as mentioned it'd eat into airlines' business model. If I'd been able to get a rebate for all the unused baggage allowance I've had over the years, I'd be able...

    What side to walk on?

    I can usually easily step around people standing on the ‘wrong’ side if necessary so IMHO not such an irritant for me. Many other selfish or ignorant behaviours that bug me, like smoking and leaving a stinky trail behind.

    Malaysia J class review

    So would you be willing to pay the premium QF is demanding to avoid MH next time, or fly someone else? The meal timing and having to follow up with earplugs is annoying but IMHO I’d make sure I had my own equipment like noise-cancelling earphones for an overnight flight.

    Changing QFF anniversary / review months?

    I don't have experience and the T&Cs around this are very sparse, but presumably this might also void any SCs towards lifetime status?

    Current Qantas First Lounge Menu (SYD/MEL) and relevant topics

    I have one datapoint of a family in the CL/P1 area (so presumably offered this special menu) while on MH metal

    Melbourne Qantas First Lounge Closed most October 2025

    Welcome to AFF. It's the MEL F lounge that's closed so that shouldn't be the reason you cant link your 12 October flight. I was going to say school holiday blackout period but holidays would have finished by then. While we're all friends here, sometimes unfriendlies might also pass through, so...

    Denpasar International Transit (Airside and Landside options)

    When I did DPS status run turnarounds last year, when arriving I headed straight down the hall for transfers, rather than turn right for the immigration queues. I don't remember airline-specific transfer desks, but there was what seemed to be a 'general' desk checking my boarding pass - and I...
