I dont know if anyone else is seeing this but has anyone visited the Brisbane Qantas Business Lounge on a Monday recently?? I was in there last week (at 6am) and was about the only person in there NOT wearing a Hi-vis vest or pair of Hi-vis engineering overalls. What has happened to the...

I tend to agree. I have found that Qantas has really stepped up its service and attitude across the board over the past 18 months or so. Fly in the U.S and you will be dreaming of the service you get back home! That being said, I have had one or two surly old coots on occasion - but they tend...

I find the hardest thing to gauge is when to go and climb into your P.J's when in either F or J!! LOL. Sometimes Iv'e boarded and folk are already sitting there in their "Jim Jams" looking all snuggly - depending on the time of departure it can be like an adult slumber party - especially on the...

Sounds seriously random and dodgy to me!! I suppose this will provide "extra" padding for us WP's when comped up the front - lol. Can't wait to see the cloth throw rug covering the faux leather covering the cloth.......whew. I'm afraid, despite being a die-hard QF supporter, I can't help...

I fly to NZ three/4 times a year and have FIRST tags put on - QF hasnt had a first cabin to AKL for 7 years?? The website says Platinum members have their bags tagged FIRST when travelling internationally - where on the website does it further advise that this only applies when the aircraft...

My partner and I returned from Europe in early July this year via Hong Kong. We were London-Hong Kong in QF FIRST (worst breakfast I have ever had on an airline in my entire life). We checked in for our QF flight to Brisbane at the QF first counter in Hong Kong. As WP should have had FIRST...

I was on the new domestic 737-800 last week (Mount Isa - Brisbane) and was lucky enough to also recieve a comp to Business - as the aircraft ended up doing a shuttle run to Townsville, wait till refueled (delay due to fuel truck operator being out of communication - so no avgas!!) then down to...

I agree, I typically seat select row 6 - either A or F (as I prefer a window) and, at T-80, recheck to move into either 4A or 4F. In over a year, I have only had a difficulty twice - and each time ended up in the aisle as opposed to the window in row 4. Sometime post T-80 issues appear to...

I got an op-up last week out of Mt Isa - BNE, along with about 4 other WP's. The day before Easter it was packed out the back and oversold. This seems to happen a bit to me out of TSV also. I'm usually on a red-e or super-saver - but got to admit I fly a bit. Seems to me some ports look after...

I find that on pretty choka flights (such as BNE/TSV, BNE/SYD, BNE/PER) that WP not only gets me up the front in Economy (with extra stretch & comfort) it also means greater chances of being bumped "up the front" when oversold out the back. This has happened to me on the TSV run 4 or 5 times...

Ah, that was the first point of call!!! Now looking for comments from punters who have sampled the offering.:)

re: ABBREVIATIONS & EXPLANATIONS Well I never....BMWAFF! - (Bugger Me With A Fish Fork) :)

Hi everyone, Myself and partner are off to Europe in May and need some rental car advice. We are staying at Intercontinental in Frankfurt then plan to drive down the "romantic Road" (Sun-Wed) ending up in Munich. We are looking for best options for pick-up/delivery in central Frankfurt to...

Hi everyone. A work collegue is flying to L.A shortly with partner and other family on V Australia in Premium Economy. What seats should he aim to secure in order to maximise the experience?? Are the Bulk-head seats (row 10) worth trying to aim for?? All comments re past experiences...

The whole anytime access issue has been done to death - it remains hotly contested. I fly every week, often more than once, and as currently stands can invite 2 pax into the business lounge with me on the days Im travelling (and these pax do not even have to be flying). In theory I could...

Re: Requested to give up your Meticulously Researched and selected Seat when on board I totally agree. Even if a pax has absolutely no status they still have the ability to look on "Seat Guru" or any number of other websites that detail airline/aircraft seat layouts - seating plans are also...

In reality whats difficult about bag-drop and/or check-in in the lounge? If you OLCI the time saving is nix. In smaller centres outside Briz, Syd. Melb and Perth the wait is only a few minutes in any case - and there's no priority line anyhoo. Once NGCI is fully operational there will...

Richdave, I hear your pain - but the reality is its a business decision and nothing else. Qantas Club membership starts at around $450/$550 and for that (up until recently) members recieved virtually identical benefits to silver and gold QFF members. To reach silver, a punter has probably...

As already noted, the requirements for Partmer Gold changed in Nov?Dec last year - so you can now "gift" a mate or friend, in addition to your partner etc. I gave mine (reached 5 days short of my year-end recalc date) to my Mum, as my partner tends to travel with me - guess lots of folks are...

probably just a glitch. I checked-in last week for a flight only to discover that there was absolutely no "service information" detail on my boarding pass - ie: no "FF PLATINUM ONEWORLD E QF#######" This was despite having the booking appear in "My Bookings" under my FF number. Go figure...
