I am doing the reverse YVR-TPE-SYD next month. I also have roughly a 17 hour layover. I expect the checked bags to be checked through to Sydney, didn’t think otherwise.

Correct. She was quite settled in with carryon in the overhead locker. (She left her bags there too) When challenged, she didn’t look at her boarding pass either.

Yesterday, flying on a 737 service from Perth to Sydney, I was seated in 2C. A young woman came onto the aircraft and plonked herself in 1A. I didnt think much of it except the real 1A duly turned up. He asked her if she was in the right seat. She got up and then wandered down to at least...

Its awful flying on 737s Melbourne/Sydney to Perth.

Me too in May 2024

I dont perceive a problem with that. However, if those passengers that require assistance to board expect to be first off, that’s a problem. The slow and steady walk through the air bridge will undoubtedly hold up the other passengers.

Exactly. I have been travelling with my elderly parents lately. We all have J tickets and that is the experience we have of boarding first and last off. it’s the most efficient way to go but I have seen so many that are boarded at the same time as my parents and then Lo and behold, it’s a...

It is a new phenomenon with the disabled needing to board first and then scramble to get off first too. Jetbridge Jesus at work.

QF71 PER - SIN. just remembered the wine. Opted for Flowstone white and it was vile. Swapped for the Chardonnay which was much more appealing.

Hmmmm….there might be a few letters going out shortly rescinding access to the CL..lol

I spend $2.5k on the top of the wozza ultimate card now. I won’t be spending $4k to keep the card though.?

I used the BA lounge many years ago before my flight to Sydney with Qantas. It was dingy then but the food selection was excellent.

I would suggest not for the last 2 decades. I have been flying to Bali for over 30 years and have flown various airlines but not Qantas. The reason being is that Qantas do not fly Perth to Bali. Instead its that mongrel child Jetstar that Qantas thinks Perth pax deserve.

Since when has QF operated PER-DPS?

Unfortunately, this behaviour haas been going on for years. Back in 2013, when the QF-EK alliance was very new, my husband was denied access to QF lounge while flying EK. I was involved as I was on speakerphone to the lounge staff reading out the rules! Still denied access, I wrote a lengthy...

Do a foreign currency purchase on Qantas Travel Money.

QF72 SIN-PER Saturday 25 Jan Two queues marked Business and the various status tiers etc etc and Economy. First call was for families and like a wave they appeared including teenagers...and they were boarded through both queues. When husband & I approached business queue at the end of the...

Exactly. When I did my DPS status run, I stayed for 2 days. Relatively cheap all inclusive hotel with a pool. If you have the time, make a mini holiday.

My husband and I have booked LE in the past...coughet - staying at the Marriott and Broome - staying at Cable Beach. I do like a convo with people but I'm in my comfort zone lazing around a pool and reading. My husband, however, is Mr Have A Chat. I do join in after awhile. The best places to...

I have used this option with Telstra, it is very handy when you really need to take a call or make one. Beware though - the 24 hour period commences midnight AEST and finishes midnight 24 hours later. Otherwise you might find that you use the service overlapping the two time periods. But at $10...
