    HSBC Platinum Qantas Credit Card Changes: Ouchy

    I noticed a few years ago that HSBC were offering Platinum Qantas cards with a $99 fee when I was paying $199. When I phoned them and asked if I could get the lower fee, they initially tried to fob me off by saying the terms and conditions would be different. When I asked what was different they...

    Qantas orders new 787s and A350s

    The 787-10s might be the replacement for the A330 on international routes but I wonder if they will ever be used east - west in Australia. Unfortunately I think the days of wide bodies on these routes are numbered and it's only a matter of time before Per-Syd and Per-Mel follow what has already...

    QANTAS putting A330s back on Sydney-Denpasar route

    Just about everyone loves the A330. But Qantas don't really care and are quite happy to replace them with narrow bodies. Perth - Brisbane all 737's now, as are an increasing number of flights Perth-Sydney and Perth-Melbourne. And Qantas have converted a couple of their A330's to freighters. Says...

    HSBC Platinum Qantas Credit Card Changes: Ouchy

    I currently have the HSBC Qantas Platinum but will be cancelling it within the next 2 weeks, before the annual fee is charged next month. After a lot of research I have gone with Qantas Premier. No big bonus points but ongoing I believe it offers a good deal when comparing annual fee against...

    Jetstar removes the 787 from the Melbourne to Bali

    Replacing 737 with A321, yes a step forward. As per my post, replacing A330 with A321, a step backwards in my opinion.

    Jetstar removes the 787 from the Melbourne to Bali

    Unfortunately I think this is a sign of where Qantas is heading as well. A330's progressively being replaced by narrow bodies on the Australian trans continental routes (already gone from Perth-Brisbane) and I suspect will only get worse when new A321XLR's start arriving. And Qantas have turned...

    Batik Air commencing PER-AKL

    Good luck flying Premium Economy with Air NZ. No such thing while they are using the wet leased Wamos plane.

    Emirates A380 returns on SYD-CHC

    If the prices are the same (on a QF booking) make the most of it while you can. Before this flight was cancelled due to Covid Qantas were charging substantially more for Syd-Chc on the Emirates plane than what they were on their own metal

    What could airlines do to convince you to choose a middle seat?

    I am absolutely on the same page as you for the same reason. A330 flying out of Perth over pretty much every other plane, including so called "Dreamliners". 2-4-2 beats 3-3 and 3-3-3 any day of the week, or weekend.

    1666582194 Is there actually a bay of four now that Virgin no longer fly wide bodies?

    Dick Smith on Foreign Booking Sites

    I've got a week's accommodation booked in Hong Kong next month through Booking.com. Pay at hotel, not in advance. After booking I thought of cancelling and booking same hotel directly, but it's more expensive! However the particular hotel chain (Best Western) has a US website, and if I lived in...
