    Article: Qantas Points “The Envy of the World”? Absolutely Not!

    Never seen a CEO that is so disconnected from the reality of his companies customer service. Either that just in denial.

    Business class - worth the points?

    I think one issue is many companies are revising travel policy to Economy or PE for long haul. Business/First seems to be the domain of Pollies...guess who pays for them and overpaid C suite execs who often negotiate this as part of their employment contracts. My CEO (and we are a large...

    Qantas OOL

    Or at the very least if this is so impossible. Have your fully owned Jetstar operation treat frequent flyers better Priority boarding and seating would be a good start.

    Qantas OOL

    Please Qantas You made a song and dance of returning to OOL. The flight times dont work for business travellers. Mondays Tues and Weds am the Virgin lounge is chocka with regular commuters who refuse to fly Jetstar. A simple 6AM flight would nett you 50% of these flyers easily.

    Virgin Food [Flexi Fare]

    I wonder if the powers that be incl Mr Borgman or his apparatchiks read these forums. If i was Mr Mangan I would be embarassed to put my name on this cough. Clearly the free travel he gets in return he is able to degrade his own brand. The worst is 1.no choices on flights only one flexi fare...

    Silver will no longer have priority check-in on domestic

    It all started with Virgin status matching qantas last year. premium flyers queue on virgin is almost as long as normal queue on some flights now,so i guess its a reaction from the plats and golds!.
