Would it be too much to ask if airlines/airports are going to enhance away paper towels on the ground facilities that they actually test and service the hand dryers? i.e. Do they work at all? Are there the same number of air dryers as sinks? Do they need to operate at 120 Decibels? Is the sensor...

I have a heap of domestic flights booked on the 17th and 18th March (all domestic cash fares), none of the DSC have appeared at all yet in my SC earn Activity Statement. Many of them have already been flown in April and May Is the deal still that you have to call QFF and get them credited...

Welcome to the hell that is 2Apply. Speaking from experience.

LOL - footage of Qantas A380s and B789s

Unless the car gets better this year and/or Flavio Briatore leaves - I think Gasly will start exploring his options at the end of the season - in my opinion he is a fairly talented driver and I would like to see him in a better car to see what he could do. He must be getting sick of this as well.

Of course they would have been selling those seats bundle of rights for those regularly scheduled services cancelled yesterday, unless Qantas thought that a spare A380 was going to magically manifest itself into existence out of thin air for that short duration of the charters. (that would have...

A pretty good write up of the state of affairs with PE seating and where it is most common and why. And I think this mostly is all a subject that is most applicable in med to long haul international flights. Matt - I think your point about the increasing F and J fares due to their large...

Regarding the OP's question, I know most people do online check-in now, with most having boarding passes emailed or are using the Qantas App, but in the case where people do online check-in the old-fashioned way and print a static physical paper boarding pass, how can Qantas move people? I...

Exactly - no point having the laws if the regulator is too lazy/incompetent to enforce them, may as well not have the laws at all, sack all the people working in the regulator and use the money elsewhere. If we are going to have no corporate law enforcement may as well not spend the money on ASIC.

I love how the Deloitte website requires people to create a new account login and collect more personal info to make a claim. That's just to get into the claims process, and then presumably, they would collect credit card or bank account information to pay the refund. The dataset looks like a...

This would have been something that the ABC's The Checkout would have been all over, such a pity that silly contractural issues stopped production of the show. I hope the OP takes this all the way thru to AFCA and make an example out of 1Cover for the rest of the industry.

While I agree with everything you have said I think that aside from all the sophistry of Rohrlach, the VA yield managers would say they much prefer that people paid $1200 for a last-minute Y seat SYD-MEL, rather than someone who booked a cheap J fare for SYD-MEL for say $500 12 months out from...

It might be that the JQ/3K services DRW-SIN route might have been OK to marginal but maybe the move of terminals in SIN pushed it over the edge? Also Covid. Agree that the new QF DRW-SIN service only makes sense for DRW and maybe ASP based passengers, for people based more in SIN then for most...

I think there is a deep cultural problem at Red Bull and the car being slow and the driver turnover are symptoms of that, along with the backgrounding of the media about the unproven allegations around Horner, the departure of Newey all point to Helmut Marko as being the problem that has...

Certainly seems like they weren't necessarily thinking ahead from a communication or a marketing opportunity though. If this was intended to be an awesome marketing opportunity any normal loyalty scheme would have done the calculation and the maths and announced to people how close they were to...

And on that QF64 there will undoubtedly be connecting passengers going elsewhere from SYD on Qantas who will have an unplanned stopover in SYD on that night thanks to the curfew, we may see where those pax end up in threads here in the next few days.

Yes in my case it was a "go my own way" situation as I arrived into SYD past 1am at T3 domestic and QF had already rebooked me onto another flight the next morning, so I just found the closest available room which was in the $400 last-minute price range with many displaced passengers...

I think QF has quietly waved the white flag on that $200 or $250 per night limit, that amount of money will get you nothing in SYD for example, and especially if there is an A380 load of passengers or indeed some other weather effects that causes many missed connections and a lack of hotel...

The maths must be that taking a A333 out of service for 14 days is taking 28J and 269Y seats out of the network for 14 days. Now assuming they are mostly used for international medium haul to Aisa and very rough approximation of 2.1 flying sectors per day of utilization that would be approx 823...

Symptomatic of an airline that is more focused on shrinking to irrelevance, spin/PR and becoming a big data/bank/insurance company than an actual airline flying people around. Taking a A333 out of service for 2 weeks typifies this thinking. I'm sure that if Qantas management got what they wanted...
