Its been covered before in this thread Qantas doesn't care about priority boarding. But the best advertising for status and class of service on an airline is doing priority boarding right, and showing the massive long queue of people waiting to get on the aircraft that pax entitled to priority...

Maybe - although I wouldn't think that the IASC would be too swayed by empty promises in the future. The problem would seem to be that in the decision making process either pre-Bain or Bain itself, was that the decision makers should have been told that saying bye bye to the A330s would also be...

I just have a quick question if you see this jb747, I understand that you are saying that leaking doors are extremely noticeable and noisy but my question is - what if the failed seal plug is hidden behind interior panels and insulation? I understand that traditional doors and emergency windows...

Yeah - that was the only one I could think of where nearly everyone got on the ground safely and the aircraft landed in one piece, that Aloha would have been a -200 Classic model and pre 9/11 coughpit doors. Yep - happened in the 1988 incident as well, obviously air pressure differential too...

Yeah something is missing from this story, so JQ check-in accepted the checked-in baggage and presumably, it was to be loaded onto the aircraft, the passenger was most likely directed to pay at another Jetstar counter at the airport, and whether through miscommunication or some other reason did...

Have we had a survivable sudden cabin decompression in a B737 of any variety post 9/11 reinforcement of flight deck doors? I would have thought this door architecture is unchanged from the previous NG variants? Or do the newer -Max variants have different flight deck doors?

Indeed - I followed the discussion as being about the trigger event that precedes the 'air rage' or offloading/arrest/detention of the passenger(s)- this is the airlines often doing it to themselves: 1. seating density - totally controlled by the airlines. 2. checked-in baggage fees -...

Yes - seems those coughpit doors aren't as secure as we thought, if that happens during a decompression event. Obviously, they should be pretty effective at keeping intruders out, but I wonder what mode of failure or condition would need to exist for that to happen?

Thanks for your kind thoughts - its off-topic but as a follow-up to this Mrs Eastwest101 did get fast approval from the Federal Government at the time to exit Australia and the Japanese Government expedited their inbound quarantine so they got to spend a few days with the dying relative before...

Thanks for that. Hadn't realised there was such a confusing array of options of plugs/deactivated doors/and active doors and different type/categories of doors that are options on the NG -900, -900ER and the Max8-200, Max-9 & Max-10. I suspect that these mid-cabin exit doors will become known...

Let me rephrase points 1 to 4 for you: 1. Qantas is the designated flag carrier of Australia and is a private company so should be protected from all competitors. 2. Qatar a state-owned flag carrier has access to government backing & if it competes then the law of supply and demand ceases to...

You keep on flitting around between various specious arguments that have been thrown up before by the transport minister to explain the federal government decision: 1. If the airline QR is such a security risk then why are they still flying here? 2. if the treatment of passengers at DOH airport...

So using your logic anyone who is an export trade competitor or an "adversary" to Australia should be banned from flying here - so goodbye to all the following domiciled airlines: Qatar, Air New Zealand, South Africa, India, Oman, Canada, Singapore, PNG, all US airlines, Chile and Thai airlines...

Would have been handier in service during the last 10 months or so with passenger seats on it, making revenue, rather than a hare-brained Covid panicdemic thought bubble/being parked up in Germany.....

Indeed - thanks for that, I checked the Expedia web site and you can click on details and the full Expedia web site will also show your fare class so it seems that getting the fare class for a prospective booking is possible there as well. So not necessary to use the Expedia App. So for...

Yep - for Australian passengers unless you live in the CNS area the VA CNS-HND makes absolutely no sense from a cost or connections point of view, especially when Australians living in places like BNE-SYD-MEL have many good options and competition with JL NH QF and JQ all offering widebody...

An anonymous blog, no publisher name, and I note on their blog that they say this: But then make these claims: (my highlighting of text that seems more opinion than fact): Pretty much all opinion with a few settled facts. And the last part there is still contestable as well, because from...

Was this subject of the airlines trying to hide their fare classes from the customers and then relying on the fare-classes for calculation of change fares, refunds etc all put into the AFF submission to the Federal Government? Its a longstanding bugbear that all these tricky T&Cs that airlines...

Agree with you that the age of the aircraft itself may or may not reflect the presentation in the cabin, as you say that QR A330 interior was dated but was still in pretty decent condition for its age, I have seen younger aircraft and/or more recently refurbished aircraft with interiors in worse...
