    Qantas Business Class meals & menus

    Agree, but you'd hope QF domestic J catering couldn't get any worse and is now well below what most expect of a domestic J product offering: the menu is woeful and you have a low probability of getting your choice anyway. It's clear it no longer supports the J price proposition, and hasn't for a...

    ...Then you're probably paying a fair price for what they're currently offering

    It seems the catering has already gone, but J pax continue to pay for it until now.

    First time in Qantas lounge

    Realistically it's the free booze if it's your thing. The terminal offerings are probably now a more pleasant option than the QC at peak times in both MEL and SYD. I too once aspired to the allure of the QC, but have now realised (30 years later, LTG, and a decade or more as WP) that $20 or $30...

    QF 33 Sydney to Perth - Headphones in Business?

    As my headphones don't have Bluetooth it's even easier!

    QF 33 Sydney to Perth - Headphones in Business?

    They are a closed design, and perhaps they may offer a little active noise cancelling, but QF's J headphones are not in the same league as probably any commercial NC headphones available and I certainly wouldn't ever rely on them for a long haul flight. I don't consider them to be noise...

    Qantas Not Recognising BA Premium Economy

    Given QFi hardly fly to anywhere in Europe they're just trying to disincentive you from flying on their "partners" that fly to the few destinations they actually go to.

    Qantas Economy Plus Launching Feb 2026

    If you don't choose your own seat, at some point QF will have to allocate the extra leg room seats for free when you check in. The 737 suffers the same fate as the QF (and nearly everyone else) 787 - extra pitch can't make up for the lack of width. OT, but I'd still be interested to...

    Qantas Economy Plus Launching Feb 2026

    I have a QF 1/2 booking as LTG and I only get aisle/window option. When login failed a couple of days ago it let me select seats (which I did and which seem to have stuck but it's back to only window aisle option. Depending how I access my booking it may show the seat selection or not. It seems...

    The definitive thread on Qantas IT gripes

    that's what I got on the website, but on a positive note, instead of telling me I couldn't select seats for my A380 flight which it has said since I made the booking, I now can.

    Life Time Gold - The [Realistic] Holy Grail

    And therein lies the paradox. What value does LTG offer if you're going to be flying J anyway?

    Qantas Business Class meals & menus

    Probably from the days when they over catered to ensure you had the choice you paid for as a pax. Staff had the left overs at the end. You'd always see trays of left overs being carried to the back of the plane after the meal service completed.

    Brings back memories, 747 akl to eze a CR Y award as a 20 something, a mere SG but when it meant something, and I got op-upd to J. Pre lie flat, but bliss. Asked about future Mrs D who I was travelling with but wasn't booked with from Aus, and she appeared next to me on boarding.. Travel has...

    Qantas domestic economy meals

    What are you expecting? Same wine (and food) selection for 4-5 years is the norm, if you're lucky.

    The Qantas Newbie Questions Thread

    It's not a partner lounge. It a 3rd party pay per use lounge that QF uses for its J pax it would appear. If you're on JQ, QF status carries no weight for non-QF lounges.

    ANZ makes it harder to access sign-up bonus points

    The Australian tax system is very broken. Exploit it when you can but don't gripe when it doesn't work in your favour.

    Virgin and Qantas to ban power bank use

    Unfortunately government (at all levels) seems too scared of losing votes to enforce rules (aka laws) to ensure public safety or general well being. Vic seems particularly bad but not unique. I basically agree with you but then the airline takes away the IFE and expects you to use your own...
