    QF655 11 Feb is returning to Mascot and did not proceed to Redcliffe. Major delays are expected. I am so concerned that there will be people who are missing connection to MH126 and CX140, therefore missing Lunar New Year!

    Qantas does Vegas direct

    With Las Vegas become a dead city, and also the fierce immigration procedures at the US Border, I actually wonder if it is a shot at the foot to launch any US flights, in particular LAS? I would have thought Qantas would be better off launching Mexico and add a new Mexican partner for connection...

    My experience was I arrived Melbourne for Sydney and forced me to wait for 6 hours in the lounge as the original flight was overbooked. It would have been nice to have a bed for me.

    Worst Domestic Qantas Lounges & What Can be Done About It?

    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?

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...

With A330 fleet is so thin, how will they ensure once an A330 is down from snow storm, other routes are...
