    JAL 777-300ER back on Sydney route

    My flights for next June/July show a 787-9 on the way out in June and a 777 on the return leg in July (syd - hnd). I was curious about the difference but clearly a change of product back to Apex suites.

    Compensation for no IFE in J Syd to HNL

    Whilst things go wrong invariably its not the fault of the customer yet they suffer the greatest loss. If you buy a ticket marketed as having defined features including a flat seat, IFE, a particular standard of meals you are within your rights to receive those things and if you don't receive...

    Points Plane to LAX: Final flight for VH-OJU 747

    This may sound silly but aren't they due to get more Dreamliners and the end of this year. They could have coordinate this into something special last and first flights!

    Project Sunrise: A350 or 777X?

    I have a friend who flies the PER -LHR on a regular basis in J. He loves the direct flight and thinks Sunrise is the way to go whilst I think it sounds like a special kind of hell devised by a mathematical bean counter. Then again I miss the days of the stop over in HNL which was often an excuse...

    TBIT arrivals - Express or Kiosk?

    Thanks Smarty. I am not on QF 11 but the new AA flight due to come in behind it. We will be at the front of the aircraft. I am hopeful, I did read that they hand out orange cards to expedite tight connections.

    TBIT arrivals - Express or Kiosk?

    I gather from the above discussion that the days of 2 to 3 hour wait times have gone. I have a connection in Jan from the new AA flight arriving at 6.50 (behind QF11) to a 9.00 am AA flight. Is this realistic? I used to allow 3 hours for connections however the 9.00 flight is the only one to...

    Infants in premium cabins

    We flew SYD to LAX with our then 18 mth daughter in Business (QF). I was stressed before and during the flight lest we disrupt any other pax. On the flight she became restless but not disruptive and fortunately it was an A380 so I could take her to the little lounge area with the TV and we...

    SYD - YVR AC check in.

    Hi I was wondering if AC offers web check in Australia for the Syd - YVR flight. Its Website appears to be written in Canadian and the best i can discern is that its not available. If not is it best to check in early? Travelling economy given the choices in Feb are limited. A supplementary...

    No more QF chauffeur drive to LAX and DFW

    Re: No more QF chauffer drive to LAX and DFW Very disappointing from Qantas. I used the service even though it was very hard to actually book it and and confirmation. At one point I was inclined to go back to my own CD arrangements given how difficult it was to book. No doubt "take up" was...

    Heads up about program changes

    I got this last night and was gobsmacked. Qantas really dont want to keep its loyal customers. AJ is blinded by the math of it all. I buy on my own account 2 international Business class fares (for 2) each year but always on a discounted rate. the only thing that has kept me loyal to Qantas has...

    How would you run Qantas?

    What this thread proves is Qantas is not meeting passenger expectations with a lot of decisions being made on mathematical modelling. Of course many of them are a good idea or good business sense but many aren't. The romance of flying has been completely lost and it does not innovate the way...

    Lax-syd feb 21

    I think you will find that QF 11 which was to be a A380 went "unservicable" out of Sydney and a 744 was substited thus QF 12 is now a 744. No doubt they cant fit everyone on that flight. 17/02/2013 QF11 Sydney Los Angeles VH-OQA A380-800 14F/72J/32W/332Y 18/02/2013 QF11 Sydney Los...

    My Story with Singapore Airlines

    All i am saying is at 40 mins or less the flight is normally closed. My documentation from Singapore states check in closes 40 mins before depature. Above you said: 'I remember the time well because I looked up my watch and it was 7:00 AM when I decided to go back to the check-in counter.' So...

    My Story with Singapore Airlines

    I think its very straightforward from his account and without entering the rights or wrongs of the debate he was having: By the time he got back to the counter the flight had just closed. The flight is a 7.40 departure which would be about 7.10 boarding call. Discussion was going on (even if...

    My Story with Singapore Airlines

    Just to be clear. You arrive at check in with overweight bags an hour before departure at 6.40 am? Did you realise Singapore require you to check in with bags 2.5 hours before departure? Once checked in you sit down and wait for your wife to go back to the car park. (How long did this take?)...
