    Priority boarding on QF domestic - what is the story?

    Apologies if this has been posted before as it is kind of obvious i havent read the whole thread and joined late. In reality priority boarding means the melee splits in to two queues then back into one again on the aero bridge. No real point if you think about it. Perhaps It's just to make a...

    "Welcome aboard sir , your the only one travelling with us tonight"

    One of two with five FAs on a JAL fight from Tokyo to Guam. Immediately after a typhoon so not surprising.

    Try Madagascar. I spent an interesting 6 weeks there in 1989 when it was completely off the beaten track. Still is I believe.

    Platinum 1 Status Now Shows When You Log On

    I'm heading off to LHR in a day or so, the test will be to see if there is anything perceptively different on long haul flights. At least my whelm can only go up and hopefully over! I remain optimistically underwhelmed for now.

    Platinum 1 Status Now Shows When You Log On

    Came in a metal box, aluminium I think. It's in the recycling now. I think the red letters are hard to read and to all extent and purpose it is essentially the same as normal P.

    Platinum 1 Status Now Shows When You Log On

    Travelled today, didn't detect anything different to the normal up and back to Sydney routine. Card arrived today too, looks the same with small red letters, I'm feeling slightly underwhelmed!

    QANTAS J Cabins Rated.

    I agree-row 13 on A380 is best J. The front J cabin is quieter and less through traffic which at night is a boon. Front of that section- row 11 is close to the lounge and snack bar.

    Jetstar - why would anyone bother?

    As I said, just as many logic flaws as the OPs admission that a) he never bothers to read the fine print details, and b) didn't bring his e-ticket with him. Am I alone in being confused by people that don't understand the whole point of an e-ticket isthat it is electronic. If you take a...

    Jetstar - why would anyone bother?

    It was a delay. No options given at all. I had no paper - i never carry paper tickets, havent for many years now including previously on jetstar many times. i dont read small print, who does. Why would an airline say an inane thing like "do you want us to put an unsafe plane in the air?" its a...

    Jetstar - why would anyone bother?

    I booked 6 to MEL to SYD for the day. 9 am flight. Website told us we could only check in at the airport. We arrive to find that the check in computers (we only had hand luggage) directed to the 2 mile long queue. After queuing for ages at the Domestic terminal, we were told they couldn't...

    Jetstar - why would anyone bother?

    I changed to QF - a pleasure. Returned by DJ - a pleasure. I did manage to get a full refund after enlisting some help from my agent. I am amazed joe public put up with what is cleary the worst airline I have ever had dealings with and I have flown: British Airways Sabena Thai FEAT...

    Jetstar - why would anyone bother?

    I will never fly with Jestar again. The airline is run only to accomodate the staff. Customer service is non existent. The staff lie to avoid adressing service issues. They said: "sorry, we can't help you, no refund, you are on your own, we can't help you find an alternative flight as we are...

    Qantas meals

    How would you know? The bircher muesli was in a nicle little plastic cup with a foil top. Everything ws prepackaged - apart from the sour apples. A few months back on a flight around 5 pm or so where they announced, as they normally do, that dinner was to be served in Y. It arrived in the...

    Qantas meals

    An old thread worth reviving. I experienced breakfast yesterday on the early QF from MEL to BRI - Economy. No more cereal or warm roll - replaced by some yoghurt with grit in it topped with red goo - something called "Bircher Muesli". Teh warm roll was replced bya prepackaged lump of dough. I...

    Qantas Club Dress Standards...Stubbies, singlet and thongs....What the???

    I think the term "smart casual" is well understood by everyone. I think those that decide to "flaunt" this because they "just can" or can't/don't read the t&cs are either slobs or attention seekers, neither of which are society groups that I care to mix with. This is why, in many instances I...
