Aren't you a little smarty pants. Yes I do get that using your phone's signal in the air isn't legal, but neither is driving 70 in a 60 zone, or smoking a joint but... There have been no accidents caused by someone having their phone on - otherwise every passenger would need to hand them over...

Just jumping in. I was on a Dash 8 service from Tassie to Melbourne and whilst the flight didn't have wifi, the plane flew low enough for me to have phone reception almost the entire time (with a few interuptions here and there...)

QF Platinum on Wednesday coming home SYD-MEL and arrived at the lounge 5 hours eary and politely asked for an earlier flight if one was available. The lounge reception lady looked at my ticket and said that she couldn't do anything unless there was a weather or cancellation issue. So just hit...

Saying 'most people use their own devices' when there isn't an option, kind've goes without saying. I for one, don't like cooking my laptop/ipad on a flight when I could be watching live TV/movies on an IFE screen (such as SQ, or United etc in the US) ... This is particularly relevant when...

It really is a race to the bottom for VA at the moment :(

I love the fact that salted nuts receives its own menu entry... Only on QF. Not having the front bars stocked with water and coke (and an odd bottle of wine/sparkling) is a lazy miss. I hate having to hit the call button every time I want a coke zero.

So for a 9 hour flight in Business QF couldn't stump an entrée? A friend of mine flying out of SFO back to Sydney was hit with this completely underwelming approach to flight catering and decided to construct a three course meal from the menu - starting with the soup, then the vegetarian pasta...

You do realise this is an airline lounge, not a restaurant? Would love to see you mulling over the $11 wines they serve :)

Hi everyone, (very) late to the party for booking a US flight to the west coast (can be into Sea-Tac, SFO, LAX etc) in January. Dates are flexible, but it is peak season and I keep on getting an insane price for Philippine Airlines, business class @ around $4,850 return. This is less than half...

You are absolutely right, I need to hear those 14 announcements on the Mildura flight now boarding...

I would rather listen to music than the 30 public announcements on the same flight from two different attendants, in two different lounges... Just saying...

When will be the inaugural passenger flight? September?

Welcome to the chat, Ozbarbie. Qantas international catering is one disappointment after another. I travelled in economy SIN-MEL just after they decided they weren't going to use trays any more to place everything on - just a hot meal in a box (?) with some bread shoved on top - are they still...

Not surprising LATAM cancelled Sydney-Auckland. (In my experience) Despite the plane, the service in Business was appalling. For the lunch service I received two chocolate muffins, a packet of nuts and three pieces of cut fruit. They ignored me most of the flight and only selectively offered...

Just in reference to booking on Aunt Betty, I booked two business class tickets on Delta for my parents LAX-NYC return. They were downgraded to coach on both, and told they would need to talk to the booking agency for a refund (and there weren't any available business seats that day). Because I...

Small steps - lets just get them to put meat out for their toasties in lounge; then stump for a divider between coach and business, THEN widebody fleet announcement....

My experience is also a question. I have been stuck in Auckland (overnight) heading to Queenstown and then stuck in Queenstown (for two days) when AirNZ decided to cancel all flights due to weather and coming out of Queenstown (upon cancelation of flights for the entire day) they had no seats...

Flew from SFO - SIN about a month ago and worked and streamed content online for pretty much the entire trip. There was only one spot where it droped out for a few minutes. Free to all KrisFlyers. I loved everything about that flight and airline.

Sydney VA lounge is appalling on many levels - the crowding, the crowd, the lack of cleanliness, the space and lack of seating - but the catering deserves special mention with treats such as potato in a wrap (carb on carb anyone?) so unappealing it means they never have to worry about running...

Take a $9 subscription to Gyoza and search busines and first and keep the destination vague like Australia to Africa, then search the month you would like to travel. I got a trip back from the US (Seattle) to Australia in October (Melb), but it came through on Emirates using Qantas points - one...
