    I’ve always wondered what it’s like flying Qantas business class 😁

    Airport security confiscated an empty water bottle

    When you enter Australia and use the e passport screens, you’re asked several questions relating to where you’ve been and then you’re issued a ticket that you then need to scan before clearing immigration so the scanning system is already in place. Most countries ask you to complete a customs...

    That would be too cheap and efficient.

    Airport security confiscated an empty water bottle

    Give the poor old Australian government a chance. They’re still working on digital declaration cards.

    Qantas change fee to increase on 30 July 2025

    The only things Qantas don’t appear to be increasing are service and quality.

    Qantas Sydney International Business Lounge

    Qantas should rent the Emirates biz lounge outside of its usual operating hours. Problem solved. But that would involve Qantas shelling out some of its shareholders’ dollars.

    Article: Should Qantas Have a Minimum Reward Seat Guarantee?

    How about a daily release of new reward seats for a variety of destinations for travel from next-day to say 300 days. And make them all available to anyone, regardless of status. And if Qantas really wants to improve belief in the fact that it’s releasing more premium reward seats than ever then...

    Australia to London - Advice for a newbie

    On a long haul flight in premium economy it’s all about the seat recline and sleep quality for me. I did my research and found Cathay had one of the best. But I understand seat recline/comfort might not be the top item for others.

    Australia to London - Advice for a newbie

    I usually fly business class long haul using points but was in a situation last year where I had to return to the UK with no reward seats available. I ended up flying Cathay Pacific premium economy and, whilst it’s certainly not business class, I did have a surprisingly comfortable trip and...

    New Qantas boarding and disembarkation music (2025)

    No, but it’s a lot easier and cheaper than updating tired and smelly A330s and improving inflight entertainment and catering.

    Article: What's Your Seat Recline Strategy?

    Sitting bolt upright overnight for 14 hours is a tall ask for anyone. The people I know who are of above average height usually pay a little bit extra and select a seat with extra legroom. Collective reclining puts everyone in the same comfort versus inconvenience situation of having their...

    Article: Latest Changes May Not Fix Qantas’ Reward Availability Problem

    Have you considered Maybe, but how much of that points redemption increase is related to the introduction of Classic Plus 1738232680 And what percentage of that increase was redeemed on partner airlines? Again, without specifics it’s hard to be a believer.

    Article: Latest Changes May Not Fix Qantas’ Reward Availability Problem

    It's a case of 'Could' but choose not to. It's easy to make big statements like 'we're releasing 5 million reward seats' but without proof or specifics it's meaningless.

    Article: Latest Changes May Not Fix Qantas’ Reward Availability Problem

    Perfectly put. I'd like to add that I find it fairly easy snagging premium seats out of Australia using Velocity points, which unfortunately is not the case with Qantas FF. And Velocity don't seem to muck around with the releasing of reward seats (batch releasing seats) like Qantas seems to...

    Article: Latest Changes May Not Fix Qantas’ Reward Availability Problem

    I'm trying to use up the bulk of my Qantas points (not an easy task these days) and I now only focus on Velocity points due to the unbelievably better reward seat availability on international flights and the more reasonable credit card sign up bonus offers. We often hear about the dollar value...

    ‘Qantas still claims to offer at least five million Classic Reward seats per year’ If only Qantas could prove this.

    Six million people a year would use train to Melbourne Airport

    It should definitely be offered as a private project.
