    Extra security at Qantas boarding gate for USA Flights

    It is a US requirement so it applies to all airlines. Ridiculous, particularly for anyone who has the SSSS (I had it recently) - no benefit going to the front of the line, they checked me, kept me in thier small 'pen' area and I had to plead with them to let me board. I am genuinely curious if...

    Seat poacher

    Flight attendants should have the power to do something to people like this. Selfish and essentially not following the instructions.

    Qantas rolls out Classic Plus Flight Rewards

    I agree with some of the other posts - Classic Rewards will eventually be removed and CRP will be the new norm. Great to the members with lots of points to burn who are not going to get good value from those points now. Good luck to the punters who never really earn enough points to redeem...

    2024 QF Inflight safety video

    In summary - nice advertising and marketing video but as a safety video, it fails big time.

    2024 QF Inflight safety video

    It is all about marketing, including places QF doesn't fly Clearly they spent a lot of money on it, so the JAL incident wasn't going to result it changing it to a specific safety focus. The online reviews are mixed to say the least. The safety video should be focused on that message, not...

    2024 QF Inflight safety video

    Underwhelmed to be honest. Considering what happened in Japan, the focus should be on safety and not showcasing destinations. Interesting no aircraft shown at all.

    QF187 SYD-HKG schedule, next flight 1/2/24 is a one off?

    It is going to HAECO so unless it goes tech on the day, it is certain to go.

    QF76 29 September - when your business class flight arrives at the Qantas Freight terminal

    It is common and having two gates out isn't an excuse. Particularly when the SYD CEO keeps saying they are not full.....

    Qantas to Introduce Group Boarding and Bag Tracking

    The issue is if everyone brings on thier 'allowance', even if bags go under the seat, there is not enough space. Maybe on the Boeing Sky Interior aircraft you have a better change. Same issue in the US - the carry on allowances exceed the actual limited space in the overhead lockers.

    QFF Bonus Status Credits/Points gift on back of Aug 2023 profit

    Anyone get an error message once you selected and claimed? Still think there are issues with the app, it should be available on desktop.

    Qantas to Launch SYD-AKL-JFK (June 2023)

    JFK is not a great airport, especially if you have another connection. Not exactly a selling point. LAX has actually improved over the years, particularly the arrival. And LAX doesn't have the fun weather of JFK, particularly in winter. All the people there for the party should travel home in...

    No more Qantas points with Booktopia

    I am pretty annoyed by this too. As a regular on Booktopia, the fact I didn't need to log into my FF account, then go to the shopping, then select the website was a time saver. I will now forget to to that and probably will just give up. As usual, making something harder is a real deterrent.

    Jetstar turn back; Failed to Get Authorisation

    Costly exercise in terms of a lot of fuel burned, plus hotels and anything else they offered to passengers as an apology. Of course QF is paying for all of that....

    QF1 from SIN diversion to Baku, Azerbaijan (GYD)

    Any sort of charter as a rescue flight at short notice is not practical. The amount of legal approvals, government approvals and overflight clearances are enormous. Even Vamos covering NZ flights would have taken 6 months to get to the point where it could legally operate. I feel for the...
