    QF32 388 - emergency landing in SIN after Engine failure

    I'm very much inclined to trust QF on this one. There have been so many 'in the heat of the moment' quotes reported and armchair experts giving their opinion in the last five days. It seems to me that QF are taking the right and proper approach to this. An extraordinary and unexpected...

    QFF Ideas & Suggestions

    Re-address the baggage issue. One piece at 32 kg for SG, PS & QC? Really? Who's gonna pack that much weight? 2 Pieces at 16 kg each (or 1 at 32kg if you so desire) sounds like a better option to me. Don't penalise us folk who like to take a light suitcase and a bit of sporting equip with us.

    New baggage System for QF eff Dec 1, 2010

    On the whole, the new baggage rules really do STINK! Who in their right mind is going to pack one bag weighing 32kg for goodness sake! (and take the chance that the check in scales are accurately calibrated) Try lifting that down two flights of stairs, into the the cab (as if the cab driver is...

    What would make a decent FF/Lounge access program

    Posted this in the QFF forum as well. Maybe mods we can combine it into a master thread? So we have had sooo many posts on what we don't like about the recent QF "enhancements" and numerous posts on disaffected QF WP/SG defecting to DJ with status matching. Let's open this up people. What...

    So we have had sooo many posts on what we don't like about the recent QF "enhancements" and numerous posts on disaffected QF WP/SG defecting to DJ with status matching. Let's open this up people. What would make a decent and acceptable FF/Club program? Outrageous and off the planet...

    New baggage System for QF eff Dec 1, 2010

    Yeah I think the chances are pretty much zero. QF was one of the few remaining airlines in the world that allowed bikes and other approved sporting equip as part of checked baggage. Technically, they still do, you just can't check in a suitcase as well!!!!! A better way (from a FF POV)...

    New baggage System for QF eff Dec 1, 2010

    Yep, me too. Usually a suitcase and a bike. My bike bag fully packed with bike, pump,tools and accessories weighs 14kg. So, this new policy means I need to add $105 to the ticket price. Bad policy Qantas.

    Best Airline for Frequent Travel in Australia (split thread)

    Yes shop around I agree. For FF there are other things to factor in as has been said several times before so not going to dredge all that up. I'm a cyclist and so take my bike with me for a trip that's 4-5 days or longer. QF no charge even on cheapest Red-E Deal (QP SG). Equiv cheapest DJ...
