    Why I am ditching QF F/J longhaul, despite loving it.

    I tend to agree - I have found the J experience with QANTAS is inconsistent. My last 2 trips to HNL I switched to Hawaiian - the J cabin staff were older staff but I could not fault them on either trip both ways. I recently did VA to NZ in J which is a short flight in fairly rudimentary J class...

    Bought Flight Voucher Redemption

    Hi, I have this question that seems all too hard fo Qantas to answer. QFF have had receipt of it for a week now ( I have their ticket issue number as acknowledgement) but no response - just a promise to attend to it as soon as possible. So after a couple of days I emailed the Qantas shop as the...

    Jetstar too slow with Points

    Well, it worked. Go straight to the top. Movers and shakers got the issue resolved. Not only that, since I sent a hard copy, I actually got an email response from Mr Joyces exceutive with a "CC" and the executive email address - so that unpublished email address is now in my posession. Hopefully...

    Jetstar too slow with Points

    Agree - fortunately Virgin did the staus match so I get to fly with them as a Gold member. Qantas's loss. Very true your comment that when it suits them, Jetstar is a a different airline.

    Jetstar too slow with Points

    1 month to the day and despite missing point claims and a letter to Mr Joyce, I still do not have my QFF points for a Business Max return trip to HNLfrom SYD. This will impact on my Tier status review. I rang QFF Service today and the lady I spoke to was great - very helpful, but also aplogetic...

    Why fly business? I don't see the value?

    I am 6'5" and getting towards the twilight years. I pay for Y class as i cannot spend more than 5 hours with my knees crammed into economy class seat spaces. I'll do Syd-per or Syd - NZ in economy, but longer than that and I just can't do it. So it does matter to me. :!: And yes - I like the...

    Multiyear QP paide Membership when attained QFF Gold ??

    Hi, At the start of the year I took out a 3yr Qantas Club membership, never thinking I would attain Gold. I have made Silver and will now make Gold in about a month or two. As that gives me access to QP for a year - will I get an extension on my paid membership?:confused:

    Advance seat selection Status differences.

    Nothing wrong with the back rows - after all, planes dont reverse into mountains as they say. :) My question - I am only turning Silver this week - have been Gold before but stopped most flying for a couple of years due to all work being local. Now I am travelling again. I am tall at 6'5" and...

    Filming takeoffs and landings

    I've filmed heaps with both video cams and movie mode on a digital camera - never had an issue. Interestingly, when they say phones etc can cause the plane to do the opposite of what it should do - never seen a phone cam used in a disaster cause the plane not to crash !! LOL.

    What passengers hate about flight attendants

    I actually have a lot of respect for flight attendants or cabin crew. At the end of the day they are trained professionals there to give me the best shot of saving my skin in any emergency. Those that treat them as little more than airborne waiters really miss the point, and I dont blame the...

    Five Star Hotel in Sydney

    My secret - I am an Amabssador - at US$150/Tr it is the price of cheaper room at Intercontinentals. However, apart from the Amabassadoe Benefits, you get a buy one get one free voucher for a weekend night. I redemed my last one on a $1300 suite - yes, I paid one night but stayed two, so I saved...

    Airlines reduce spoon size to save fuel

    I was on EK413 AKL-SYD on A380 First Class and we got plastic knife and metal fork. Like a fork can't be as much of a threat as a blunt dinner knife !! Really, if they want to save weight, just begin by being a little stricter on the carry-on component. I always abilde by their rules and get...

    First ever op-up! Thanks Qantas!

    Guess how many QFF (and other Airlines) passengers in BUS were drawn in by their first op-up !! That wass my first look at J or BUS and they know the fact - once you taste the good life it is hard to go back to cattle !! Still, enjoy it when you can, and if it's free - it tastes even better ...

    Jetstar launches domestic service

    Hard to see them making solid inroads in NZ domestic. They'll be chasing AIR NZ 737's on the main routes in NZ. Also, will that mean Qantas NZ will pull out of the Auckland Wellington Christchurch runs? Most smaller NZ domestic legs are too small for Airbus or 737 use anyway.:confused:
