I thought QF were losing money on this (not enough pointy end and full Y paying pax), hence flick it JQ. If this is correct why reinstate a loss maker so soon after ceasing services?

My experience last May, no, but there was no waiting. By the same token there was about half a dozen people checking in on any airline at that time (around midday).

They may offer better deals from outside SYD/MEL to offset that 737 experience. Married segment and all.

Fairly self explanatory, when APP ( or APIS choose your acronym) data it s sent to Singapore they do a watch list/visa check and send a response back to the airline - ok to board/ do not board. If they uplift a do not board passenger they cop a fine. I'm surprised it's taken this long for...

My most recent flights on QR (Sept/Oct) DOD was not specifically mentioned by the crew as an option - if asked they said yes but not proactively offered. Previous flights (admittedly pre COVID) it was offered when the taking the drink/food order after or before takeoff. A one off crew not...

Having passed through BNE yesterday using the electronic declaration and having professional experience in that environment, I don't think the current process used at Brisbane could be expanded nationally. Firstly, at the ABF scanning point after bags collection it was noticeably longer for...

Sounds like your booking wasn' t re- ticketed in time (assuming you didn't receive a new email with eTicket after the changes), before those airlines cancelled those sectors on the booking, QF at fault. Some airlines impose a very quick deadline for ticketing of award bookings. Effectively your...

Or airline PR gilding the lily. I'm shocked such a thing could occur. A close family member did have it on their flights, but only free if you're a QR frequent flyer, or sign up in flight.

Same experience in September on 2 A350s and 2 787s.

All info can be used in the right circumstances for any risk assessment done at the airport ( these days not as much as days of yore). If someone says their occupation is x does that fit with the rest of their information and/or story. If not what is the real story of their travel..... Is how...

Well if you answered my shoes are clean, then they believed you.,. Like they believe it when someone says they only have chocolate and no fresh fruit. Risk assessment at work. I've been the 'wrong' end of that nil action taken after queing and mixed my connecting flight, frustrating but post...

I imagine the 'gatekeeper' was ABF- they should not action the farm/ national park question. It needs to be AQIS.

It is 61. That includes cargo only carriers and what some would consider double ups - eg Air Asia and Air Asia X are separate.

ABF won't flag for that unless you're doing it repeatedly. Might get a bit antsy if the person didn't know what to do - its a rare scenario.

The current automatic system we have was implemented by foreign companies, there are several who have done so globally. One of them was involved in the now binned electronic declaration system. Having been involved in several software implementations in the agency involved here, I've never seen...

It didn't work a lot of the time, the acknowledgement that your submission has been lodged was quite often not received until we after you arrived. A shining example of a multi national consulting and delivery company over- promising and under delivering. The contract was cancelled with not...

SIN-MCT 737 MCT-LHR 787

According to QF website they are.

It could be airlines are more savvy now with what will get approved and submit 'stronger' applications.
