    CEO retiring, what changes at Qantas would you like to see

    It's been awhile! Today has been a hot bed of action. Now that the rotten core is finally being removed as of tomorrow, change can occur. My wishlist: 1) More widebody aircraft on domestic services generally 2) Australian Call Center 3) New Qantas Board

    New low by QF for Mum's flight to a wedding in Darwin - not going

    Mum is off to Bunnings this morning rather early! Bit of gardening me thinks! We bought a mulberry tree the other day to plant in the new place in Brissy, so the kids can walk past and pick them off the tree on their way to school. We will move on from this. I agree with you the agent seemed...

    New low by QF for Mum's flight to a wedding in Darwin - not going

    Yeah it was a B737 and still B737 this morning. I think they oversold J class - she should have said this to her and be honest about it. It's the passive aggressiveness and lack of respect let alone any empathy afforded - the intent in the agents mind was to downgrade or put on another flight...

    New low by QF for Mum's flight to a wedding in Darwin - not going

    Good morning and thank you for the chart highlighting limited availability. She purchased a ticket for around $2572 return - i think its either a business sale or possibly full fare in January 2022. Like you said they may have been working thru pax status, and silver isn't gold or lifetime...

    New low by QF for Mum's flight to a wedding in Darwin - not going

    Thanks for letting us know - I discussed this with mum and she seems settled in not bothering with this particular trip. They could have offered this flight too instead of the midnight flight... hmmmmm makes us wonder why this wasn't offered?

    New low by QF for Mum's flight to a wedding in Darwin - not going

    My mother received a phone call from Qantas Call centre this evening at 8:02pm regarding QF824 from Brisbane to Darwin departing 9:45am tomorrow morning. She is a lifetime silver status member. My mother was informed that due to "operational requirements" the aircraft was 'changed' and only...

    Qantas to outsource ground handling across Australia

    Unfortunate reality... but reasonably foreseeable. I suspected there would be another job cull announcement after the initial job cuts several months back. Easier to swallow when the cow isn't whole. Outsourcing to the lowest bidder, so I wonder when we have to start worrying about our bags...

    Order a Qantas "care pack" for $25

    They got 3 x $1 from me before I thought of the possibility that it sold out. Oh well. Gotta be quick 'round here! I'll try google chrome and not safari, if there is a next time. Though I have noticed lots of new PJs on ebay going at $80 - opportunists strike again. I'm gonna pass. Never...

    Qantas 747 joy flight out of Brisbane

    No doubt it will pop up on social media rounds at some stage. I was due for a haircut anyway, so I thought let's make it a little more fun on the day.

    Qantas 747 joy flight out of Brisbane

    What a hoot! Very lively and sociable QF customers/staff made for a great atmosphere on board. The bubbly was constantly flowing and everyone was mingling across the classes. Epic conversations were had as we looked upon the skyscrapers of the Gold Coast and Brisbane city, and the fabulous...

    Jetstar ranks lowest of more than 70 airlines in major survey by consumer groups

    Whilst not a comprehensive analysis and somewhat flawed in terms of leaving out major competitors in that assessment, I nonetheless smiled with glee when I flicked on the Sky News channel only to be greeted with the vision of a Jetstar airplane taxiing above the caption 'Worst airline in the...

    Qantas jacks up baggage costs

    Ouch! Tell us about it! I dropped off my mother at Bundaberg for the last time this morning - the excess baggage on the 3rd and fourth items were $90 and $70. Travelling on J via BNE to DRW, moving for work so do not normally carry so many bags. The additional cost will be reclaimed through...

    Why does Qantas persist with 747-400 thirty years plus rust buckets.

    I have only flown first class once and that was on VH-OJP, so I will always hold this as a cherished memory of the beloved 744s. I'm happy with premium economy.

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

    A psychologists perspective - jumping through hoops in the hope of other's approval is a conditional based love. Let people be who they are. Cultures, customs, traditions and more importantly the way that we feel define and assist in moulding who we become, what we perceive as 'right' and...
