    I wonder whether gifts for cabin crew will be constituted as corruption, where it migh force or incentivise air stewarts provide goods or services for unfair advantage?

    Qantas double status credits: Register & book between 12-18 March 2025

    I suspect DSC 2026 will launch earlier than 2025, because Easter is earlier in 2026 than in 2025, so potentially late February and early March?

    With Jetstar withdrawing from Singapore and Japan, I would be interested to see if Qantas will discontinue Jetstar brand and replace with Qantas? Jetstar has been making lots of premium passengers in misery, for example, we are not able to earn dobule status credits from cities other than...

    Qantas Lounge Guest Departs after Sponsor

    So if the guest makes trouble in the lounge after the sponsor left, will the sponsor still in trouble? For example if the guest took CX138, follows the sponsor who is travelling on CX100, then gets intoxicated...

    Qantas signs deal with Japan Airlines to exit Jetstar Japan

    I agree. Why not simply partner with overseas which would have been more profitable? The biggest concern I have is from 2027, Qantas Frequent Flyers must suffer 4 domestic flights in Australia or 4 Qantas international flights in order to get status, irrespective of how many status credits you...

    Qantas Economy Plus Launching Feb 2026

    May I ask what about OneWorld Emerald and Sapphire? Will they receive Economy Plus included in fare? I am concerned that Cathay Diamond Executive cannot get better seats on Qantas.

    Japan Airlines blocking Premium Economy ex-SYD

    Exactly. FYI, waiters in Japan earns 1100 Yen ($11) per hour. Working in Australia under minimum wage is 2.5x higher than Japan, not even including penalty rates.

    Qantas to resume Sapporo flights

    I am worried that the CTS route is going to affect fleet availability and reliability. Just last week, a heavy snow has ended up severe delays for many airliners flying in and out of Sapporo. With A330 fleet is so thin, how will they ensure once an A330 is down from snow storm, other routes are...

    The VJW app is basically the equivalent of the Australian form, which generates a QR code to contain all pre arrival information. So basically when you arrive, you scan the QR code and scan passport to link all those info together, then immigration officer will screen you and issue you a...

    When will Australia get modern entry procedures?

    Recently I had a wonderful experience travelling into Haneda. Queues were long, however there were a minimum 50 passport reading machines which meant it moved fast. Even there were hundreds of people queuing up, there were essentially no stopping all the way. After baggage claim, there are...

    Japan Airlines blocking Premium Economy ex-SYD

    NS26 schedule released. Japanese gold digging express JL51/52 will be down gauged to B788, losing First Class and potentially making reward seats unavailable. JL773/774 will reduce to 3x Weekly. It is so sad that demand for Australia - Japan is weak over Summer period. Perhaps young Japanese...

    Nipah Virus

    It appears that Nipah Virus is affecting Bangal and Thailand authorities are concerned and screening passengers from India. This virus is deadly, can spread and has no vaccine or cure. I was wondering if Australia should be concerned which may affect travel plans similar to 2020? I am super...

    Thank you. I am not disagreeing, was concerned that VA may not have that vision of Qantas which will cost them.

    Virgin Bali expansion, next up CBR-DPS

    Why not? If VA is only thinking about O&D traffic to DPS then I suggest someone please buy VA and sack the entire management for lack of vision.

    However please note that you should be choosing the lounge closest to the gate to minimise walking.
