Thank you. You've explained it quite well. My anxiety is really a loathing of waiting at airports between connections. More often than not, the waiting time on a lay over is extended due to one reason or another. Fingers crossed the current situation, what ever the cause is over by July.

How long before QF 11 returns to its normal scheduled departure from SYD to LAX .ie 1735 I wonder ? I have QF 11 booked for July 3 and if it is still departing at 1100 on that date, I hope Qantas informs me as I have connections at the other end that will cost me $$$ to change. I booked my US...

I've been following the daily departure time trend of QF 11 (SYD/LAX) and rarely do I see that the flights leave on time. Today, Sunday April 14, the flight has been delayed 3 hours !! Over the past week, the closest to departure time (ie 1735 hours) has been just 40 minutes late departing...

Evening departures suit me. Although arrival into LAX ,if the flight is late, can be worrisome after dark, if you are looking for car rental or checking into a hotel . I prefer night departures where ever I fly OS as I can sleep for at least four to six hours after a few drinks. Does Qantas...

Thank you 👍

I need to get to LAX from BNE, as cheaply as possible on the first or second of July to an engagement. I would only be there for a few days , hopefully returning on or about July 7 or 8. I know this is the US Summer and 4th July. Preferably direct or one brief lay over in AKL, or HNL if I can...

Thanks, I wasn't expecting a tuck in and bed time story from the crew though, and simply to be able to lie flat will help immensely. I've travelled QF on short haul in J before within Australia, but mostly the aircraft just have wide seats, that are more like premium ECY which really are not...

As a QF FF Silver, I am considering a LATAM flight to AKL from SYD shortly. Mainly because I can lie flat in Business class, ( I have a bad back) and the times fit my schedule. So despite it being only around a 4 hour flight will I be able to ask for the bed to be made for me to lie down ? BTW...

With a few dollars that I won at a casino a few weeks ago at a Christmas party, a friend suggested that instead of flying Business Class to the UK as I had intended next May, I should use the windfall to enjoy a First Class ticket instead. Never having been one to splash out, although I must say...

I was concerned that arriving on QF 568 in Business into SYD, from PER with a an ongoing flight on Qantas Link I maybe denied entry, but there was no problem and the important thing is to retain your boarding pass after leaving PER to present to the SYD lounge. So I can confirm that last week I...

This from a multi billion dollar company that relies on customer loyalty ? :) ROFL :)

The pettiness that I have experienced chatting with a Qantas bod over this has driven me nuts. Despite sending this BOT screen shots, they still are saying it has never happened. If Qantas are cost cutting, this is a pretty drastic step considering the few people it would have at that time of...

It seems that Qantas deny that there has ever been any access to PER/SYD Business class Pax on QF 568 arriving into SYD. In an online chat session with Qantas over a period of several hours today, despite showing them these screen shots, the operator is still saying no entry. Qantas, we have a...

Thank you, that is good to know. My guess is that it depends on the individual staff member who is on duty at the time by the look of it.

My problem is not with QF PER lounge, but on arrival on QF 568 into SYD. Qantas in their publicity and advertising say that this flight number, when a pax are flying Business Class, they are allowed access to the QF Domestic Lounge on arrival. With a boarding pass clearly showing me on QF 568...

As a regular on the PER/SYD red eye, I wonder if the QF staff at reception in their lounges are trained in the rules and in good customer relations. My problem is with the consistency in how the rules are applied. I arrive from PER ( Business Pax) early am, and have a connection with QF link...

Funny thing is that some people have a higher opinion of themselves than others when it comes to flying TBH, especially as to their entitlement to Priority Boarding. What is irksome to me is not whether I board ahead of anyone else, after all the plane will leave with all pax on board, whether...

Lounges in Australia for me, over time have become not the attraction they once were. Firstly for a number of reasons. School holidays; they get too many noisy kids in there, uncontrolled by their parents (in the main). People loading up the seating with their carry ons, (providing a seat for...

Yes, I guess sort of more South rather than East, but I think that driving from there will add sometime to my trip; Heathrow is less than 4 hours in good conditions,Gatwick looks like closer to 5 hours. And then there is the time take to clear immigration, customs etc.

I have a friend who has used Gatwick as their point of entry to the UK for a number of trips, arriving from Australia after a stop over in AMS and says that they will never go through LHR again as at LGW the arrival is smoother, has less people and less likely to have delays. Same goes for...
