More times than I care to remember I have headed down to the gate 10 minutes early to find out there is a delay - sometimes a long delay. Time better spent in the longe! So I head down when its called in the lounge! (Although I may walk down early in Sydney and Melbourne if there is a bit of...

They seem to send an email each Friday. So hold tight!

Where do you live? Maybe a few of us could come charge our EVs?

Where do you see a summary of your progress like this?

I resemble that statement. Regardless, the power sockets on 737s are very hard to reach. And Australian plugs are hard to insert without being able to see the socket, so fumbling with a plug trying to get it inserted backwards, upside down etc, reaching down to the level of your calf is not...

Yes, that’s what it says on the website - up to 100Wh. I think the check in agent just said she wanted to inspect any >90Wh. My point is no power bank I’ve seen actually shows it Wh capacity.

Qantas the other week asked everyone checking in if they had batteries if so where they were less than 90Wh. Everyone either said they had no batteries OR that they were less than 90Wh. But I am sure no one knew. After the flight I checked my battery. I required a magnifying glass to read...

JQ/3K was previously competing against SQ on this route. SQ prices were not much more than JQ, so the choice was obvious, particularly if you were flying on from SIN to Europe.

Having flown as a parent with young children on many occasions I am all for this and think more airlines should publish this information. To keep the grumpy adults away from the kids. There is only one more thing more stressful than trying to deal with a crying baby or an overtired toddler...

VH-CEO?

Maybe we should offer suggestion on what they should do? Like: offer something more than "Make your own toastie" at their $600 (list) per year qantas club lounges.

Agreed. Sure, if the plane is fully boarded and there is still room up top feel free to put your second bag up there. But in the first instance put the smaller one under the seat in front of you.

Particularly if people were to only put one bag in the locker.

Exactly! It's not like boarding earlier will get you to your final destination quicker.

But how much of the need for priority boarding etc a side effect of people bringing excessive amounts of cabin luggage? (It's not like you will get to your destination any quicker based on when you board!) Why? Well the fact it often takes Qantas 30++ minutes to unload checked luggage...

QFF flying jetstar can use the lounges. Not that it helps in places like Sydney Domestic where the lounge is in a different terminal. Also, lounges are not guaranteed to be open if there is no QF flights (eg late at night).

My assumption is that the discrepancy is just another way for Qantas (the group) to soak up unused flight credits. (Because the credits can only be used on the qantas site)

I had a similar issue with vouchers - they were hard to use due to QF flights being overpriced or just not available. So I used the vouchers on QF to buy JQ flights. Usually the QF price is about the same as JQ once you factor in luggage. But it can be quite different. One thing that is...

How the hell is anyone justifying the guy who lifted a bag above his head (which is bad from a OH&S perspective!) and slamming it down? They are paid peanuts, so you have to expect that the only people who will do the job are psychopaths who make up for the lack of pay by the enjoyment they get...

Yes sometimes you will be told to take it off. But not every time. And every time you don't get told to take it off is time and inconvenience saved. My old belt had a small buckle and I never had to remove it flying domestically, nor at most airports overseas. It did still cause issues at...
